With the Easter holidays just around the corner, tech-loving travellers are rushing to snap up a ‘must-have’ gadget that makes it easier to stay connected on the go.
Wherever you are headed, a reliable travel adaptor will ensure that you are never low on power, no matter how far away you are from home. With nothing more annoying that running out of charge on the go, a compact travel adapter has been hailed as a ‘lifesaver’ by savvy travellers. Available from Amazon for £23.99 the Tesson Worldwide Travel Plug Adaptor is suitable for use in 224 countries including the EU, USA and Australia.
This 5-in-1 worldwide travel adaptor features a universal AC outlet and five USB charging ports – 2 USB-A and 3 USB-C. With a total output of 28W, it can be used to charge multiple devices including mobile phones, tablets and cameras.
It also includes four interchangeable plugs that can be used in wall sockets around the world and the built in 10A fuse offers extra protection. Measuring up at a compact size of 5 x 5.3 x 7.1cm, it’s portable enough to carry in your hand luggage. Like most traveller adaptors, this model is only suitable for use with dual-voltage or globally rated devices (100-250V).
If the Tesson adaptor isn’t quite what you are looking for, the Go Travel Worldwide Adapter is on sale at Boots for £38 and can be used in 150 countries worldwide. Alternatively, the £8 Intercontinental Travel Adaptor with Two USB Ports from Dunelm is an alternative for travellers on a budget.
With over 1,595 reviews on Amazon, shoppers are delighted with how handy this travel adaptor is. One shopper left a five-star review that said: “I don’t leave home without it, and it’s been a lifesaver in every destination. It’s the only adaptor I pack now, and it’s been a game-changer for convenience and reliability.”
A second shopper added: “I can fully recommend the product. Thanks to the different USB ports, several devices can be charged at the same time, which is super practical.”
A third called it: “A must-have for travelling,” adding “Definitely buy this for your travels. I’m so glad I got one before my flight because it’s a lifesaver. It works well and is of good quality.”
Sadly, not every buyer was quite so delighted with their purchase. One disappointed traveller said: “It is a great idea and does work but the design is flawed due to the fact that the usb and usbc sockets are underneath the plug so if you are using a socket low on the wall (as most are) you have to unplug from the wall to insert the cables. Really frustrating and inconvenient.”
However, another buyer couldn’t wait to recommend it, adding: “Anybody that travels needs one of these..super bit of kit necessary for multiple attachment choices. For £20ish absolutely essential for travellers.”
