Holidaymakers are reaching for the “must-have” travel gadget that charges all their devices abroad

Summer is fast approaching, so it’s time to think about the necessary travel accessories. Whether you’re planning a quick European getaway to Paris or Prague, or a flight to more distant destinations, one thing you absolutely need in your carry-on is a travel adapter.

When it comes to traveling abroad, travel adapters are just as important as a valid passport. Thanks to them, your devices will always be powered, from your phone, camera and laptop to your hair dryer, straightener and curling iron.

There’s another adapter that Amazon customers can’t get enough of: the Aunno Universal Travel Adapter, which is proving popular with shoppers and is available as a limited-time offer, reports the Manchester Evening News. The gadget is usually priced at £15.99 but has now been reduced to £13.59.

The compact and lightweight adapter is compatible in over 150 countries and can be used in the UK as well as Europe, Australia and the USA. It is equipped with two USB ports and a USB-C port, as well as a smart IC that automatically adjusts the output power depending on the device being charged, eliminating any worries about damage caused by overheating.

The Aunno Universal Travel Adapter has a rating of 4.7 stars out of five after 868 ratings on Amazon, of which 708 are five stars. One satisfied customer said: “The Aunno Universal Travel Adapter is a must-have for every traveler. Compact, reliable and extremely versatile, it is the perfect companion for international adventures. Say goodbye to the hassle of carrying around multiple adapters – with Aunno you’ll always be connected wherever your journey takes you.

Another said: “I bought this charger for my husband who often travels to Australia and the US for business. He says it’s the perfect charger with USB ports in one. It also loads quickly, is of very good quality, and switches easily between the different plug-in modes. It now only has one plug to carry. Highly recommended.”

A third added: “We went to Mexico, the plug works great and adapts the devices to the correct use in international sockets. All appliances worked, including the hair straightener and iPhone chargers.”

“A must-have for travelers,” another mentioned. “I recently went skiing in France and I’m going to Japan and South Korea in January, so I wanted to buy an adapter that would be suitable for multiple countries, so I decided on this product, which has worked perfectly so far. The durability and weight of the adapter are great for a product at this price, and it fits in my bag without taking up space. I would recommend this item to any traveler who needs a universal adapter.”

However, one buyer found the Aunno travel adapter “not working”, writing: “I thought it would be an easy solution instead of having to buy different adapters, but when I took it with me on holiday it didn’t work. I was very disappointed because I had to look for an adapter.”

Alternatively, Boots offers a variety of travel plugs, including the Boots UK to Europe Adapter for £5.50 and the Go Travel World-UK Adapter Duo + USB for £20.
