If you’ve traveled abroad , you might have found yourself lugging around a bag full of chargers and adapters. Many travel adapters leave a lot to be desired. Maybe they can only charge one product at once, so you have to pack multiple and have them take up valuable suitcase or carry-on space . Sometimes, they only work for one other type of outlet or just don’t function as well as you’d hope.
If nobody has told you yet before, allow me to be the first: You don’t have to live like this. I promise! In fact, I can introduce you to a product that will make your travels so much easier: this Epicka universal travel adapter I’ve been traveling with for years, which you can get on Amazon for under $25 . (Heads up: Make sure to check the box for a 10% off coupon when you add this to your cart, and you’ll get a discount applied at checkout.)
This adapter is a true example of an all-in-one product. With four different plug types, it accepts plugs from most countries and can plug into sockets from over 200 countries and regions. I’ve successfully used this adapter in England, Germany, Argentina, Chile and Canada so far, and reviewers have vouched for its functionality in Switzerland , Egypt , China and more.
The adapter also has three USB-C ports and two USB-A ports, meaning you can charge or use multiple devices at once. This was a game-changer for me: Even traveling within the U.S. or to a country where U.S. plugs still work, a hotel room only has so many outlets. During a recent trip to Canada where I shared a hotel room with a friend, I was able to charge my iPhone and Kindle at the same time while only taking up one outlet.
I even use the adapter to charge my Kindle and portable charger while I’m at home, because the different charging cords for each honestly confuse me (hey, I never claimed to be tech-savvy). The Epicka adapter’s acceptance of so many types of cords and plugs takes some of that guesswork out of my devices.
The plugs lock securely when you slide them out with each clearly labeled toggle on the side. You can slide them back in by pressing and holding the lock button on the other side. It also comes in a zippered case that can fit some cords for easy storage and transport; I like to leave an iPhone charging cord in mine. You can get the adapter in classic black, like the one I have, or in white, blue or pink.
One small note: The adapter doesn’t convert voltage, so before you plug in a device abroad using the adapter, just make sure that device supports dual voltage . The U.S. and Canada use 110-120V, while most other countries use 220-240V. Most modern cell phones support dual voltage , but you’ll want to check the specs on devices like electric toothbrushes , water flossers or hair straighteners .
For frequent travelers, a universal adapter may be your best travel companion . Below, see some reviews from other happy travelers who have purchased the Epicka adapter and used it all over the world — or just go ahead and add it right to your cart.
Promising reviews:
“We do a lot of foreign traveling and this adapter has been great. The fact that it has the USB ports along with the one ‘normal’ plug-in spot, it allows me to plug in what I need to. It’s also easy to push out the correct adapter with the easy slide buttons. I haven’t had any issues with it and I’ve used it on several trips in multiple countries with different adapter needs. ” — L Scully
“I purchased this for our 3 week trip to Europe. I already had an adapter but much prefer this one. It is super great, convenient size and super easy to use . Just be sure the prongs ‘lock’ in place and use the button on the side (push it in) to lease the prongs to go back into the device. I love the little carrying case it comes with. I kept this in my carry on to use at various airports and train stations in Europe. Worth every penny. ” — Monica B
“ This compact little box replaces a handful of various plug connectors, and eliminates the need for anything other than your cords. Recently traveled in Costa Rica where our N American plugs will work and it was STILL useful with six outlets (AC, USB, USB-C). Great little companion.” — DMS
“So we just used this on a 78-day trip across Europe and Middle East - no issues, worked great. As others have said, we started feeling silly for having brought all our other Apple chargers. We might still bring one as a backup, but otherwise you just need the cables to plug all your devices into this handy block - works great and allow you to charge multiple devices using one outlet ! I’ve already recommended this product to our adult children for their international travel as well. Thanks for a well-built product that delivers what it claims/shows on the listing!” — HardGrader
“The travel adapter was adorable to start out and it looked well made. Plus I liked that it came in pink and it had a small pouch that came with instructions and a replacement fuse. I had bought a converter in 2020 at a store in my area for another trip and it was non functional, like it wouldn’t even stay on the wall at the hotel. This one did a great job and it worked for the 10 days that it was needed. I recommend this travel adapter and I’m so glad that I purchased it. ” — F T
