More Travel Adapters We’ve Tested
There are a lot of travel adapters out there. These are some of the others I tested and liked, but for some reason they missed the above.

Ezquest WorldTravel Gan 5 port with PD wall charger for $36: This travel adapter has four spacious USB-C ports and one USB-A port, and its familiar sliding pin design covers over 150 countries. There is also a built-in 10 amp fuse and a spare. It has ROHS, CE and FCC certifications. It works fine, but a little bit convenient, and the slider doesn’t lock in place as firmly as some of our other draft picks. There is also a 65W version ($60).
Epicka Universal Travel Adapter for $23: Our budget has been chosen for many months, and this travel adapter from Epicka is still a reliable option. The sliding plug covers 150 countries, with four USB-A ports on the bottom and a 15-watt USB-C port on the side. There is also a 8-amp fuse with spare, the adapter is ROHS, CE and FCC certified.

Ceptics 65W World Travel Adapter, priced at $40: This multifunction adapter comes with A, B, C, E/F, G and I plugs. They fit rectangular tiles and plug directly into the socket, or you can attach it to an optional 5-foot cable. The brick has a rooted socket and a second non-grounded socket with a USB-A (30 watts) and two USB-C (65 and 33 watts) ports on the other end.
Total plug-in visitors for UK travel adapter (3 packs) priced at £12: For UK visitors, this simple adapter can accept European, American, Australian and Asian plugs. They are single adapters with 13 amp fuses inside and work well. These are the adapters I use to test long-term US and other devices that lack UK plugins. If you forget to buy an adapter before you arrive in the UK, you can find a reasonable priced three pack on any Argos.
Anker European Travel Plug Adapter for $16:Our favorite portable charger brand Anker is also a travel adapter. This plugs into most European channels and provides you with a grounded channel for ours, one USB-A and two USB-C ports. Unfortunately, the three USB ports have a maximum of 15 watts in total, so it’s best for overnight gadget charging, but I appreciate the temperature and overload protection. There is also a British version ($16).
Priced at $35: Just like the World Travel Adapter Kit 2 above, this small electric bar offers two grounded sockets for our sockets, but instead of plugging directly into the wall, it connects the cable to an interchangeable plug with A, B, B, C, C, E/F, G, G, G, G, G, and I adapters. Adapters may change stiffly, but otherwise they will work well.
