There’s a reason we put the MOGICS Super Bagel on the third iteration of our Digital Nomad Packing List—we dig this thing! It’s shaped like, you guessed it, a bagel and utilizes that shape to fit five sockets, an extension cable, and a plug adapter in the middle. There’s also a USB-A and a USB-C port snuck into the mix, too, so you don’t need to bring an extra block if you don’t want to.

The “hole” in the center is occupied by the travel adapter, which has U.K., AU, and EU wall socket adapters. A built-in fuse resets itself after a surge, which comes in handy in countries with unstable power supplies. Some users have noticed issues with the fuse not resetting itself; however, we typically find it’s ready to roll in an hour or less.

We even spent a month with this adapter in Thailand and South Korea, and the extension cable was endlessly helpful staying juiced up during long days of working in a coffee shop. Wherever you go, the Super Bagel is a universal adapter that won’t disappoint!

• Has a self-repairing fuse so you’re never without an adapter
• The built-in extension cord is handy for awkwardly placed plugs

• Removing and storing the adapter takes some practice
• It isn’t as durable as other adapters on this list

The UGREEN 65W USB C Charger has it all—besides a socket for a standard plug, it has just about everything else. It's essentially a wall charger, but the plug is removable, and you can add adapters from whichever country you're in. This is handy because you can use it at home, too, and you don't have to take adapters for countries you aren't visiting. Not having a standard outlet won't work for all travelers, but many modern devices charge with any USB cable, so you can get by on some trips without a socket.

This device has two USB-C ports and a USB-A port, the latter of which feels dated. Still, the port can come in handy in a pinch if your cable breaks and all you can find locally are USB-A cables. With 65 watts of output from the USB-C port, you can charge a laptop with this charger, though some devices might need more power.

All in, this device will be the only adapter some travelers need for their next trip, especially for those who have upgraded to mostly USB-C cables.

• It has two fast charging USB-C ports and a backup USB-A port
• It's all-in-one charging for most devices—just bring cables

• There's no socket to plug in other devices
• Not all users need three ports, making the size seem excessive

• Sockets: 1
• USB-A Ports: 3
• USB-C Ports: 1

If you’re sick of the standard design and want something less bulky, the CARD Travel Adapter 4-Pro is worth considering. It’s roughly the size of a wallet and has everything you need for your trip in one container. The adapters are stowed in the back behind a panel, and there’s an extra fuse in case you blow the first one.

We dig this one because of its unique design. It’s noticeably thinner than many standard universal adapters, making it easier to pack in a tech pouch or a smaller bag. There’s also a panel cover that hides the ports when they aren’t in use, which gives the adapter a cleaner look, though it doesn’t add much functionality.

Depending on what cables you already have, there are a few options for you. There are models with one USB-A port, two USB-A ports, or four USB-A ports, and this version, which has three USB-A ports and one USB-C port. The last option offers the most charging capabilities, although the USB-A-heavy configuration feels a little dated in 2026. We’d rather see that ratio flipped, but it still works fine for charging a mix of devices.

• It has four USB ports for charging
• There are different sizes and plug configurations for your needs

• It’s pretty heavy and may fall out of some outlets
• There’s more fiddling with this adapter when switching countries than with others on this list

• USB-A Ports: 0

The Targus World Power Travel Adapter is a durable option for travelers who want a self-contained set. The design is compact enough to fit in your sling or daypack and includes adapters that will work in the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom, Asia, and Australia.

The plastic construction feels tough and durable in hand, and we haven’t had any issues with it breaking during testing. It did pick up some scuffs, but that’s a cosmetic issue rather than a durability concern. We also like the cylindrical design, which is a welcome change from the square bricks that dominate this category. It’s easier to squeeze into tight spaces when packing, too.

The travel adapter doesn’t have any USB ports, so you’ll need to bring a wall charger to charge your phone and other small devices. However, this lets you bring the charger you’re used to, so you know what you’re getting into. The biggest adjustment is figuring out how the different adapters work compared to the more straightforward slide-out designs on other universal adapters.

• The materials are durable
• The cylindrical design is unique

• It doesn’t have any USB ports
• The design feels dated, though it does work

• Sockets: 1
• USB-A Ports: 1

Sometimes, you just need a travel adapter that gets the job done. The MINGTONG Universal Travel Adapter falls into that category. It’ll work in more than 150 countries and has a standard socket alongside one USB-A and one USB-C port, giving you enough connectivity for the basics without loading the adapter down with a dozen ports.

We’ll be honest here. The generic branding and lack of a recognizable name on the device initially made us wonder if this was a drop-shipped product. But after using it, we can’t argue with the results. It feels about as durable as some of the more expensive universal adapters we’ve tested, and it’s significantly more budget-friendly. All of the moving parts are attached to the adapter, so there’s nothing loose to lose in your bag.

You’re not getting a ton of features here, and that’s kind of the point. One USB-A and one USB-C port won’t be enough for travelers with a lot of devices, but most people don’t need a mountain of USB ports, either. It’s a no-frills option that requires little of you.

It won’t convert 220V outlets for use with 110V devices, so be sure to know what voltage your destination uses before you depart!

• A simple design that’s easy to use
• It’s self-contained without loose parts

• The design isn’t anything revolutionary
• The USB-A port feels dated

• Sockets: 1
• USB-A Ports: 2
• USB-C Ports: 2

Our favorite thing about the Anker Nano Travel Adapter is its size. Compared to similarly designed products, it's much slimmer, making fitting it inside a tech pouch easier, so you don't have to dedicate an entire pocket to its transportation. Despite taking up half the space, it has all the same features as other adapters we love.

With four ports and a single plug socket, you can charge multiple devices simultaneously. We wish that the USB-C and USB-A ports were flipped, as we use those most often, and the USB-A ports are in an easier-to-use position, but that's splitting hairs. The sliders to get the adapter pins out are a little sticky, though we prefer that to them being too loose and not holding onto the wall when you plug them in.

The Anker Nano Travel Adapter looks modern, too, which we dig. Many travel adapters are stuck in the late 1990s, which is a vibe, just not the one we're necessarily looking for when searching for the best travel adapter for our next trip.

• It's thinner than most of the adapters on this list
• It looks modern and sleek, not vintage and clunky

• The USB-C ports are awkward to use, depending on the plug's orientation
• The USB-A ports feel dated, though they can be useful

• Sockets: 1
• USB-A Ports: 2
• USB-C Ports: 3

EPICKA is a household name for a reason, and their newest Universal Travel Adapter reinforces that. It's a standard all-in-one adapter with a refresh that brings its exterior into the modern era and new ports that make charging while traveling easier. With three USB-C ports and two others that use USB-A, you can charge all your devices simultaneously while still having a socket to plug in unique chargers, like your camera battery. Multiple versions of this charger are available, so you can get one with the correct ratio of USB-C to USB-A for your needs.

The adapter's slide-out function is easy to use, and the retraction button works well. Other adapters often get caught, making putting the plugs back into the unit harder. With an effective retraction button, this isn't an issue.

The device is just as large as its predecessors, which makes it hard to fit inside a tech pouch or smaller sling. This may deter travelers looking to save space and weight. Still, the device is easy to use and quick to set up, making it a solid all-around choice for travelers who want a simple design and a well-tested product.

• The design is sleek and more modern than similar competitors
• The retraction button makes sliding the adapters back seamless

• It's quite large, making it challenging to fit inside certain bags and pouches
• The USB-A ports feel dated

Best for built-in charging

• Sockets: 1
• USB-A Ports: 1
• USB-C Ports: 2
• Built-in USB-C Cable: 1

The MOMAX 100W Travel Adapter packs a lot into a single unit, but the retractable USB-C cable is what makes this one stand out. We don't usually love built-in cables on travel gear, since they can be one more thing to break, but it makes more sense here. You'll almost always need a USB-C cable while traveling, and having one built into the adapter means there's one less thing to pack.

Alongside the retractable cable, you get two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, and a standard socket. The travel adapter can deliver up to 100 watts of power, so it can power more demanding devices like laptops, as well as phones, tablets, and other smaller electronics. The cable also doesn't take up much additional space when it's retracted into the adapter.

This is a big universal adapter, but considering what MOMAX managed to fit inside, the size makes sense. Between the built-in cable, three additional USB ports, a standard socket, and 100W output, it's a particularly interesting option for travelers who frequently need USB-C charging but don't want to carry a separate cable every time.

• The built-in USB-C cable means one less thing to pack
• 100W output can handle phones, tablets, and laptops

• It's a large adapter
• The built-in cable is convenient, but it adds another component that could eventually wear out

Best for charging everything at once

• Sockets: 2
• USB-A Ports: 1
• USB-C Ports: 6

If you’ve ever looked at a travel adapter and thought, “I wish this had even more ports,” MOMAX apparently had the same idea. The 1-World² 205W All-in-One Travel Adapter has two standard sockets, six USB-C ports, and one USB-A port, with up to 205 watts of total output. That’s a wild amount of charging capability for a travel adapter.

It’s also a big, beefy boy. There’s no getting around the size or weight, but the tradeoff is that MOMAX packs a ton of functionality into a relatively small package. You can theoretically charge nine devices simultaneously, although using every port at once means the available power is divided between them, and charging speeds will drop. With only a few devices connected, you’ll get better performance from the available 205 watts.

That makes this less of a universal recommendation and more of a specialized option. Solo travelers with a phone and laptop probably don’t need six USB-C ports. Still, families or anyone traveling with cameras, laptops, tablets, phones, and other electronics could get a lot of use out of the connectivity. It’s kind of nuts, but in a way that makes sense for the right traveler.

• It can charge up to nine devices at once
• 205W of total output is enough for demanding setups

• It’s big and heavy compared to most travel adapters
• Using every port simultaneously will reduce charging speeds
