If you’re planning on traveling internationally this summer, Anker’s Nano Travel Adapter is one of the most essential — and probably cheapest — items you can pack to level up your vacation game. And right now, you can buy the new adapter at Amazon as a part of a lightning deal for just $21.99 ($4 off), which is the first discount we’ve seen. You can also pick it up directly from Anker for the same price when you use coupon code WS7DV2HHCTAI at checkout.
Designed with globetrotters in mind, Anker’s latest foldable adapter measures less than an inch thick. Despite its diminutive build, however, it features four plug types (Type A, C, G, and I), rendering it compatible in over 200 countries — including most of North America, Europe, the UK, Australia, and parts of Asia. What’s more, it can charge up to five devices at once, offering one AC outlet, two USB-A ports, and a pair of USB-C ports that share 15W of power (it also offers a maximum 20W from a single USB-C port). Admittedly, that’s not enough to charge a laptop, but it’s sufficient for phones and other small electronics.
What’s also nice is that its two-pin to two-pin design adds an extra layer of safety to help prevent shocks when plugging in abroad. Bear in mind, though, it doesn’t convert voltage, meaning it’s not suitable for single-voltage devices like electric razors or curling irons. But if you want one small gadget that can handle your phone, Kindle, or camera, few travel adapters offer as much value, especially at this price.
