Buying guide
Do I need a voltage converter as well as an adaptor?
Not always. A travel adaptor only changes the plug shape to fit a foreign socket, not the voltage. Most modern phones, laptops and cameras are dual voltage (100-240V) and work fine with just an adaptor, but high-powered items like hair dryers or straighteners often aren't dual voltage and may need a separate voltage converter.
What plug type do I need for my destination?
Plug types are labelled A to N by shape: Type G is the UK's own three-pin plug, Type C is the most common worldwide (used across Europe, South America and Asia), and Type I covers Australia, New Zealand and China. A universal adaptor covering A, C, G and I, like most in this guide, handles the large majority of common destinations.
How much charging power (wattage) do I actually need?
For phones and most everyday gadgets, 30-75W is plenty, even when charging several devices at once. If you need to charge a laptop at full speed too, look for a higher-wattage adaptor with USB-C Power Delivery, like the OneAdaptr OneWorld135 or VisaPro here, both rated over 100W.
What safety features should I look for?
Look for a built-in fuse (ideally replaceable), surge protection and safety shutters over unused sockets, all featured on the reputable adaptors in this guide. Avoid very cheap, unbranded adaptors with no clear safety markings, since they can overheat or short out.
