Multiple gadgets can be connected to this adapter simultaneously, as it features 3 USB-C and 2 USB-A ports, plus an AC socket. Despite delivering high speeds and rapid charging, it operates safely thanks to fireproof construction, protective shutters and an overload dual fuse.
The adapter works only with devices requiring less than 2500W power and has proven popular with shoppers – over 1,000 units have been purchased on Amazon this past month, reports Wales Online.
As an alternative, Argos stocks the Energizer ETC450 65W USB-A and USB-C Travel Charger, currently discounted from £49.99 to £39.99. It delivers 45W power output and is engineered to rapidly charge laptops, tablets and smartphones.
The Maplin USB World Travel Plug Adapter offers a more budget-friendly alternative, costing £22.99 at Currys, reduced from £32.99. It’s available with next-day delivery for an additional £5.99 for those who place orders before 9pm.

“I used it for UK and US plugs, also to charge phones, camera, external battery. I used to carry a plug adapter and multi-plug, not anymore.”
A second raved: “This adaptor has been an excellent addition to my travel kit, has worked perfectly, charging the most demanding of high power cameras, phones and many other items, highly recommended.”
A third said: “This charging unit is incredible! High quality and super durable!
“I have taken it to Kenya already and will be taking it to Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe later this summer. Super easy to travel with being light weight.

It is worth noting one mentioned a minor issue, saying: “Good in terms of accessibility for different countries plugs, power source is very good, however the plug doesn’t seem to stay in a fixed position and wants to rotate when used in US/Mexico sockets which was annoying and meant not enough power was getting to the USB type C ports.
“Size is very good and compact, it is a safe charger with no overheating. Would be better suited for European travel and UK style plugs.”
Despite this, someone else was happy with their purchase, commenting: “Fantastic bit of kit -wouldn’t be without one of these.”
