As the holiday season approaches, it’s time to think about those travel must-haves for your upcoming trips. Whether you’re planning a quick city break to Paris or Prague, or you’re heading off further abroad, one essential item you can’t forget is a reliable travel adaptor.
Travel adaptors are as crucial when it comes to international travel, ensuring all your electronic devices stay charged. From keeping your phone and camera ready for action to powering up your hair styling tools, an adaptor is key.
Right now, Amazon customers are particularly keen on one specific model, reports the Manchester Evening News.

The Aunno Universal Travel Adaptor, priced at £13.59 at time of writing down from £15.99, is a hit with travellers and can be used in over 150 countries. It’s versatile enough for use in the UK, Europe, Australia, and the US.
This adaptor features two USB ports, a USB C port, and an intelligent IC chip that automatically adjusts power output to protect your devices from overheating.
With an average rating of 4.7 out of five stars, the Universal Travel Adapter is a popular buy. A satisfied customer said: “Works as described and a life saver for a cruise. Easily changeable and universally compatible. Also works with fast chargers.”
One user raved about the Aunno universal travel adaptor, saying: “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.”
Another customer added: “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.”
A further buyer said: “Essentials for travellers,” they said. “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, not everyone was satisfied, as one said: “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.”
However, another customer gave the gadget a five-star review, stating: “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.”
For those looking for alternatives, Boots offers a range of travel plugs. The Boots UK to Europe Adaptor is priced at £5.50, while the Go Travel World-UK Adaptor Duo + USB is a bit pricier at £20.
