Shoppers 'ditch' travel plugs for £14 Amazon gadget that charges everything in 150 countries

In terms of connections, you can insert a full-sized plug into the front, plus two additional USB A ports and a USB C around the side

One of the most stressful aspects of travelling abroad is figuring out how you're going to keep your devices charged. Especially when we keep important documents like boarding passes on our phones these days, it's imperative that we're able to keep them juiced up without having to fumble around for different travel adapters.

Frequent flyers have turned to a £15 Amazon gadget that promises to solve the issue of needing multiple adapters depending on the country you're flying to. With the vast majority of them built into one simple gadget, it could save you a massive headache on your next trip.

The AUNNO Universal Travel Adapter is compatible in over 150 countries around the world, including the UK, Europe, Australia, and the US. In terms of connections, you can insert a full-sized plug into the front, plus two additional USB A ports and a USB C around the side.

An intelligent IC chip automatically adjusts the power output according to the product being charged, so there's no need to worry about the device being damaged from overheating. If you're regularly juggling a laptop, phone and headphones for charge while on the move, this gadget has you covered.

Amazon normally charges £15.99 for the charging device, but it's currently reduced down to £14.99. You can make that even cheaper with a 5% voucher available at checkout, taking the price down to £14.24.

The Universal Travel Adapter has racked up an impressive overall star-rating of 4.7 out of five. One shopper said: "Works as described and a life saver for a cruise. Easily changeable and universally compatible. Also works with fast chargers."

Another mentioned: "The Aunno universal travel adaptor is a must-have for any traveller. Compact, reliable, and incredibly versatile, it's the perfect companion for international adventures. Say goodbye to the hassle of carrying multiple adapters – with Aunno, you're always connected, wherever your journey takes you."

A third penned: "We travelled to Mexico, plug works brilliant and converts appliances to correct usages for the international sockets. All appliances worked including hair straighteners and iPhone chargers."

"Essentials for travellers," mentioned another. "I took a skiing trip to France recently and I'm going to Japan and South Korea in January so I wanted to get an adapter that was suitable for multiple countries and so I decided on this item which has been perfect so far. The sturdiness and weight of the adapter is great for an item this price and it also fits in my bag without taking up any real space which was important for me. I'd recommend this item to any other travellers that need a universal adapter."

However, one less than impressed shopper gave the Universal Travel Adapter a negative review because 'it didn't work'. They wrote: "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 when out."

But another gave the the gadget a glowing five stars, adding: "I bought this charger for my husband who travels frequently for official work to Australia and USA. He says this is perfect charger with USB ports in all in one item. Also charges fast, very good quality and easy to switch between different plug modes. He has just one plug to carry now. Highly recommended."

Alternatively, Boots has a variety of travel plugs available. The Boots UK to Europe Adaptor costs £5.50 the Go Travel World-UK Adaptor Duo + USB is more expensive at £20.
