TESSAN UK to Universal Travel Adapter 20W (Type C/G/A/I) with 2 USB‑C + 1 USB‑A
Product description
If you travel with a laptop, phone, and a couple of smaller gadgets, charging can turn into a bit of a juggling act. This TESSAN UK to Universal Travel Adapter 20W is designed to reduce the amount of stuff you pack by combining a plug converter with three USB charging ports.
The main idea is simple: you use the UK plug adaptor to power and charge devices across a wide set of countries, while the USB ports let you top up multiple items at the same time. It’s not perfect for every scenario (more on that below), but for typical “travel electronics” it makes decent sense.
The essentials
This is a travel plug adaptor that covers multiple plug types (Type C, A, I, G) and lets you connect into a UK outlet using the included adaptor form factor. It also includes 2 USB‑C ports and 1 USB‑A port, so you can charge up to four devices simultaneously (one via the main outlet, plus the three USB ports).
It’s aimed at people who want a single compact adapter for international trips, especially when you don’t want to carry separate chargers for every cable. The ultra-thin, all-in-one approach is very much about saving space and simplifying your setup.
Where it shines in everyday use
On paper, the best part is the “one socket becomes more options” approach. Instead of finding the right wall socket, then separately hunting for a phone charger and a USB‑C lead for your tablet, you can plug the adaptor in once and run a small charging hub from there.
A practical example: imagine you’re in a hotel room abroad, you plug in a camera battery charger or a small device using the main outlet, then keep your phone and earbuds on the two USB‑C ports while a power bank or another accessory uses the USB‑A port. If your devices support the relevant charging standards, it’s a neat way to clear the desk and avoid cable clutter.
Also worth noting: the USB‑C and USB‑A ports are described as dynamically distributing current to detect charged devices and adjust output accordingly. That’s helpful because your phone and tablet often don’t need the same exact draw.
What you can realistically expect (and where it may fall short)
There are a couple of limits you’ll want to be clear about before buying.
First, this is a plug converter, not a voltage converter. The description states it works with wide-voltage devices (100V to 250V), which covers many modern chargers. But if you plan to use higher-drain appliances like hair dryers, straighteners or curling irons, you need to check whether they support wide voltage. Without that, this kind of adaptor won’t solve the underlying voltage mismatch.
Second, while it supports a high max rating for the main outlet (listed as 2500W max), it’s still a travel adaptor—so it’s best thought of for everyday electronics rather than heavy-duty, continuous loads. If you regularly run energy-hungry gear, you may want to reconsider whether a travel adapter alone is the right approach.
Key points to check before you travel
Because this is built around plug type coverage, it pays to double-check two things:
1) Your destination’s plug type(s) The adaptor supports multiple plug types (Type C, A, I, G). The description specifically ties those to regions like most of Europe (Type C), the UK/Ireland (Type G), Japan/USA (Type A) and Australia/Argentina/Fiji/China (Type I). If your trip involves more unusual sockets outside those types, you’d want to verify compatibility for peace of mind.
2) Your device voltage The adaptor is meant for wide-voltage devices (100V to 250V). Anything that doesn’t state wide voltage may not be safe to use with this adaptor alone.

Who it’s for (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you want a compact “grab-and-go” adaptor for mixed charging—phone, tablet, camera accessories, and a small mains-powered device—without carrying extra bricks.
It may not suit you if your travel routine includes non–wide-voltage appliances such as hair dryers or styling tools that don’t explicitly support 100V to 250V. It also may not be the best match if you need something for heavier electrical equipment where you’d rather rely on a dedicated approach.
Mini FAQ
Is it a voltage converter?
No. It’s described as a plug converter only, for wide-voltage devices (100V to 250V). If your appliance doesn’t support wide voltage, you’ll need to check alternatives.
How many devices can I charge at once?
The product description says it allows you to charge 4 devices simultaneously: one via the main outlet and three via USB (2 USB‑C and 1 USB‑A).
Which plug types does it cover?
It’s stated to cover Type C, Type A, Type I, and Type G, with regional examples for Europe (Type C), UK/Ireland (Type G), Japan/USA (Type A) and Australia/Argentina/Fiji/China (Type I).
How big is it for packing?
It’s listed as 8.9 × 5.3 × 3.15 cm, positioned as ultra-thin to save luggage space.
What should I check for hair dryers and styling tools?
Check whether the device supports wide voltage (100V to 250V). The description explicitly warns that such appliances need wide voltage.
Final verdict
Should you buy it? Worth considering if you travel often with multiple low-to-mid power electronics and you want one compact adaptor that combines a mains outlet with 2 USB‑C and 1 USB‑A for charging several items at once.
Better avoided if you’re relying on this for non–wide-voltage appliances like many hair dryers and similar styling tools, because it won’t handle voltage conversion. If you mainly need plug compatibility plus straightforward USB charging for phones, tablets and small chargers, this kind of adaptor is likely to fit your day-to-day needs—just double-check the destination plug type and the voltage rating of any mains appliance you plan to use.
