Other travel adapters we’ve tested

There are many travel adapters. These are a few others that we tested and liked but missed a spot above for one reason or another.
Ceptics 65W World Travel Adapter for $55: This versatile adapter comes with Type A, B, C, E/F, G, and I slide-in connectors. They fit into the rectangular brick and plug directly into the outlet, or you can connect them to the optional 5-foot cable. The brick has one grounded US outlet and a second ungrounded outlet, with a USB-A port (30 watts) and two USB-C ports (65 and 33 watts) at the other end.
Masterplug Visitor UK Travel Adapter (3-Pack) for £12: For UK visitors, this simple trio of adapters accepts European, American, Australian and Asian plugs. They are single socket adapters with 13A fuses inside and work great. These are the adapters I use for long-term testing of devices from the US and other countries without UK plugs. If you forgot to buy an adapter before arriving in the UK, you can find this convenient three-pack at any Argos.
Anker Travel European Plug Adapter for $16: One of our favorite portable charger brands, Anker also makes travel adapters. This plugs into most European outlets to give you a single grounded American outlet, one USB-A port, and two USB-C ports. Unfortunately, the three USB ports max out at 15 watts total, so it’s better for overnight gadget charging, but I appreciate the temperature and overload protection. There is also a UK version ($16).
Ceptics travel slipper for $35: Just like the World Travel Adapter Kit 2 above, this little power strip offers two grounded US outlets, but it only has one USB-A port and one USB-C port, and instead of plugging directly into the wall a cable plugs into an interchangeable head-to-plug connector with adapters of types A, B, C, E/F, G and I. The adapters can be difficult to change, but otherwise works well.
