Benefits

This adaptor provides five simultaneous charging points without adding bulk, which is handy when hotel sockets are limited. The USB ports detect connected devices and adjust output to deliver appropriate current, so phones and tablets charge efficiently according to the maker. The grounded Type M design offers added safety compared with ungrounded plugs, although it is not a voltage converter, so you must ensure devices accept 100–250V where applicable. Take into account that bulky plugs or angled sockets may affect fit in some outlets.

Getting the most from it

If you travel with a laptop plus several USB devices, the TESSAN adapter reduces the number of separate chargers you need to carry. It’s a practical choice for students and business travellers who visit South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Nepal and other Type M compatible countries. It’s compact and straightforward to use, and packing it saves space compared with multiple chargers.

What’s included

The pack contains the Type M travel adaptor unit only, ready to plug into grounded Type M sockets and provide two UK outlets and three USB charging ports. Ensure your devices are dual voltage or rated for the local mains before use.
