If you’re visiting only a single destination, just pack the relevant type. It includes five types to cover most of the globe, and they are properly grounded. This international set from Ceptics is our favorite. The cheaper and more reliable alternative is to buy individual adapters. Universal adapters don't always work properly everywhere, and most do not have any grounding. I’ve been testing the gorgeous purple one, and it is my new go-to. (Samsung uses PPS in its flagship range.) The Passport III has a funky new design with a translucent body and metallic finish in black, blue, or purple. It boasts four USB-C ports and a single USB-A port maxes out at 65 watts and supports the Power Delivery (PD) and Programmable Power Supply (PPS) standards. ★ A Good Alternative: The Zendure Passport III (currently available for pre-order at $45 with estimated June delivery) is the latest in the series. It’s expensive, but this travel adapter will satisfy even the most gadget-laden of travelers. There’s support for USB Power Delivery 3.0 and a wide range of other charging standards, so it can fast-charge almost any phone or tablet. That means you can leave your laptop's charging brick behind (if it charges via USB-C).

Using gallium nitride technology, Zendure was able to increase the power output of the USB-C port to 61 watts, capable of fully charging a 13-inch MacBook Pro in two hours. There are two USB-C ports alongside three USB-A ports and an AC socket. Sadly, there's no grounding here like the Epicka, so you shouldn't use this adapter with any device that has a third metal grounding pin on its plug. (It covers more than 200 countries.) The original innovated with an auto-resetting fuse to protect your gadgets from power surges, and the Passport II Pro increases that limit to 10 amps. It has a boxy design with sliding toggles similar to the OneAdaptr above to switch between US, European, and British plugs. Zendure's all-in-one travel adapter is what I toss in my bag first for every trip. The downside? It's frequently out of stock. The rare British Standard 8546 compliance guarantees that the OneWorld PD has been fully tested and is one of the safest travel adapters you can buy. Over-current protection automatically shuts down the power if there’s abnormal usage, and it resets via a button on the top. Most universal travel adapters offer two-pin US plugs and make the third pin on the UK plug plastic, but the OneWorld PD provides fully grounded connections for every plug type to protect you from the risk of shock due to faulty wiring. What sets the AC plugs apart is that each one is earthed. You can plug in your laptop's AC charger to speedily juice it back up, but that means carrying the heavy charging brick around. That's enough to fast-charge most phones and tablets, not so much a laptop. There are three USB-A ports on the bottom as well as a USB-C port that supports Power Delivery and Quick Charge 3.0 to deliver up to 18 watts. It promises to work in more than 150 countries. The OneWorld PD has sliding toggles on the side that cover the US/Canada, the UK, and Australia/China, and you can pop out a much smaller stand-alone European adapter. ( This video explains grounding really well.) Thankfully, there's overload protection with an 8-amp fuse, and it comes with a spare, but you should not use this adapter with any device that has a third metal ground pin on its plug.

The main problem is the lack of any grounding, which is meant to reduces the risk of an electrical shock if there's a fault, such as a loose wire inside a device with a metal case. It’s not as well constructed as our other two universal adapter picks below, but it's much cheaper.

This plug can recharge your power-hungry devices, like laptops and camera batteries, but there are four USB-A ports on the bottom and a 15-watt USB-C port on the side for phones, tablets, smartwatches, and Kindles. It has sliders you push to reveal the three most common international plugs-EU, UK, and US-and you can rotate the pins for sockets in Australia or China. With the capability to work in more than 150 countries, this affordable adapter from Epicka will do the job for most people.
