With the holiday season well and truly upon us, people across the country are getting ready to head to the airport and embark on their summer holidays. But as exciting as a trip abroad may be, packing for a holiday isn’t without its stressors.
And one thing that can cause holidaymakers that little extra stress is knowing what plug adapter to bring to their destination in order to ensure that they’ll be able to use all of their electronic goods while on the trip. Luckily, the AUNNO Universal Travel Adapter, £13.59 here (was £15.99), from Amazon is suitable for usage in over 150 countries.
Besides being suitable to use at home in the UK, the Universal Travel Adapter can also be used in the US, EU as well as Australia - making it ideal if you don’t want to buy a new adapter for each trip you have planned.
Coming with two USB ports in addition to a USB C port and main plug socket, the nifty gadget contains an IC chip that is able to automatically adjust the power output according to what product is being used, meaning you won’t need to worry about any overheating.
What’s more, the Travel Adapter is roughly the size of a palm of a hand and weighs just 124 grams, so it won’t take up too much space or weight in your suitcase when checking in at the airport.
On Amazon the product has amassed an overall rating of 4.7 stars out of 5 after securing 1,029 global ratings from customers.
“This was great value for money, can change multiple devices at once and is built to last. Fits into plug socket securely( unlike others I've bought!) And does not get hot or overheat. Great product and not too bulky- would definitely recommend!,” wrote one customer.
“Works as described and a life saver for a cruise! Easily changeable and universally compatible. Also works with fast chargers,” added another.
However, one reviewer was less positive about the AUNNO Universal Travel Adapter and said that “it didn’t work” for them when they went on holiday.
“Thought this would be an easy solution instead of having to buy different adapters but when I took it on holiday with me it didn’t work. I was so disappointed as I had to search for an adapter out in JA,” they wrote.
Other travel adapters are available on the market, including this Go Travel World-UK Adaptor Duo + USB, £20 here, from Boots. This Worldwide Travel Plug Adapter, £14.99 here, is also available to buy on Amazon.
But if you’re looking for other products to make travelling easier, this FREETOO Luggage Scale, £13.99 here, from Amazon will allow you to weigh your luggage before heading to the airport and potentially risking paying for extra baggage. This Salter Soft Touch Luggage Scale, £15 here, from Argos is another good option and can weigh up to 40kg of luggage.
