Travel plug

[NDA]

I am quite capable of ordering a travel plug - UK to France - but there are some experts on here who will have already done the legwork in researching what I'm looking for...

What is the smallest and neatest travel plug - one that takes up very little luggage room? If it had a USB output too, even better, but that's not a major requirement.

Thanks.

These mind of things are great bearing in mind just about every device I have is usb

Or how about this for the best of both worlds

Whatever you buy , make sure the usb port wattage is adequate or you'll get very slow charging.

Great, thanks- I just ordered the 1st one, looks ideal.

I was being a clot, I only need USB - nothing else.

I have a 4 port USB similar to that Lencent one, but be aware that the nature of continental 2 pin plugs means they sit fairly loose in the socket. I'm always convinced mine's going to fall out but hasn't yet.

While you're sorted now it's still worthwhile adding other options.

I use several multiport USB chargers (mainly Anker and Ravpower) that plug in using a standard Fig 8 power lead (IEC C7 to give it the correct name)

I just take an appropriate lead with an integral euro plug (or US plug)

The leads I already had in my spare cables box anyway and I much prefer using proper plugs to adapters.

So something like these

And then a lead like this

In my experience some Euro sockets can be a fairly loose fit and unable to support the weight of chargers with built in plugs.

Thanks Jimbob - - will order that too!

I got that one. Its ace.

All the adapters just slide out the back. 4 x USB on the top and 1xUSB C on the side. The C port can provide 3A, the top ones 2.4A though the total output is 5.4 A I think, so if you populate them all, everything will charge slower. Very neat and compact, and robust. Its survived a lot of trips to a lot of places.

That looks utterly brilliant. Despite saying I prefer a lead with a plug on I've ordered 2 of those, one for my Dad as a birthday present. Hello find it really handy as he's a Canadian resident Brit and comes over to Europe at least twice a year.

I got this one earlier this year. Worked well in the US, charged both work and personal phone overnight with no issues.

I use one of these , it comes with 3 different plugs, very handy.

I use a lot of Anker stuff for cables etc. in this charger:

I've got a couple of them and use them regularly on my travels. Anker have excellent customer service and support and if anything breaks, they'll replace it free of charge.
