Amazon shoppers ditch travel plugs thanks to £16 gadget

Must read

As we gear up for the summer holidays, it’s time to tick off those travel must-haves from your checklist. Whether you’re planning a city break to Paris or Prague, or setting off on an adventure further afield, there’s one item you can’t leave behind a trusty travel adaptor.

Essential as a valid passport, a travel adaptor ensures your electronic devices stay powered up while you’re exploring new horizons. It’s no wonder then that Amazon customers are flocking to get their hands on a particular model.



The Aunno Universal Travel Adaptor, retailing at £15.99 on Amazon, is proving to be a hit with globetrotters. This versatile gadget is compatible in more than 150 countries and is not just for use abroad; it’s also handy back home in the UK, across Europe, Australia, and the US, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Featuring two USB ports, a USB C port, and an intelligent IC chip that adapts power output to protect against overheating, it’s designed for worry-free charging of everything from phones and laptops to hair styling tools.

With an average rating of 4.7 out of five stars, the universal travel adapter is gathering positive reviews. One satisfied customer said: “Works as described and a lifesaver for a cruise. Easily changeable and universally compatible. Also works with fast chargers.”

One user said: “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 satisfied customer added: “We travelled to Mexico, plug works brilliantly and converts appliances to correct usages for the international sockets. All appliances worked including hair straighteners and iPhone chargers.”

A fourth added: “Essentials for travellers,” and elaborated on their own use: “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 buyer left a negative review: “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 customer was thrilled with their purchase, awarding the gadget a glowing five stars and sharing: “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.”

Meanwhile, Boots offers a selection of travel plugs, including the Boots UK to Europe Adaptor for £5.50, while the Go Travel World-UK Adaptor Duo + USB comes with a heftier price tag of £20.
