Devices that utilize Quick Charge technology, such as the Galaxy series, will charge at regular speed."- Translation: If you are charging your phone, tablet or laptop, use USB-C instead or plug in your own charger for max speed. Smaller devices like a pair of headphones, USB-A will work fine but you may need to unplug and replug for it to work properly.Pros 👍👍👍- Size and Form Factor: This is the most compact universal travel adapter I've come across par none.- Quality: Looks and feels solid and well made.- Value: At $25.99 MSRP, this is a solid value, especially when compared to others on the market.- Name Brand: Anker is a brand I and many others have long used and trusted.- Texture: This may sound like a small detail but details matter! The textured side of this adapter feel really nice to the touch! They're soft and grippy. Nice touch, Anker 😅- Power Efficiency: 87.2% when active, and only 0.082W power draw when idle.- Safety Certifications: Added peace of mind to know that the manufacturer has invested money to get their product tested independently.- Packaging and Documentation: Minimal and thoughtful packaging. The user's manual is accessible by scanning a QR code and can be downloaded as a PDF file. All companies should adopt this approach.Cons 👎👎👎- Sore Thumb: The two thumb sliders stick out like, well, sore thumbs! I wish Anker redesigned them to be more flat. In my opinion, that’s a missed opportunity!- Too many Disclaimers: The USB-A notes are clear, and make sense. Personally, I no longer use USB-A cables. But those who do will need to pause and pay attention. Again, I wish Anker has taken more time to engineer those disclaimers out. Maybe in the next iteration!The Bottom Line 🧐Now I can finally retire my old brick and switch to my new travel buddy from Anker 😆 The more I look at this adapter, the more I like it! It truly is a feat of clever engineering!I am really impressed by this product and have no problem recommending it to all shoppers and potential buyers. Bon voyage!I hope my short review has helped you make an informed buying decision 👍😊✌️

This is a travel essential for me and is now a permanent part of my travel kit. I usually have a smaller permanent travel kit for US travel and some additional adapters that I keep out of it for international travel. This one is small enough to meet all needs so I no longer keep to keep my international travel things separate. Love the fact that is has USB-C ports as well - avoids more adapters. Note that if you have a 3 pin input, this won't work.

An excellent compact international travel adapter. It is very easy to use and has several ports that allow for bedside charging of several devices when there is only one outlet, phone, AirPods, watch. The only downside is that it is 20 watts so not fast charging when you have multiple devices or tablets/laptops to charge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great universal plug adapter (with a 20w charger built it, for what that's worth).

I don't have much use for a 20w charger. However, this is by far the best universal power-plug adapter that I own. It's lightweight, compact, and works in every country that I visit. I usually plug a 100w adapter into it and don't use the built-in adapter at all. I'd love for Anker to build a 65w version in the same form factor, but in the interim, I carry around a couple of these and a couple of lightweight 100w adapters as well. It works better for me than any of the other universal-adapter solutions.

The incredibly compact size. The 4 usb ports. The vast compatability available with this adapter. It is simply perfect. It is incredibly functional having a charger passthrough along with several fast charging usb ports. Cannot travel without it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Versatile and Well-Designed Travel Adapter with Minor Fit Issue

M.F. · June 10, 2025

I recently used the Anker Nano Travel Adapter during a trip to Thailand and was very pleased with its slim, compact construction and overall versatility. The multiple ports made it easy to charge several devices simultaneously, and the build quality reflects the reliable standards I’ve come to expect from Anker. It’s an excellent solution for international travelers who value functionality and space efficiency.One minor issue I encountered — which is not unique to this adapter — was the somewhat loose fit of the plug in Thailand’s wall sockets. When plugging in higher-draw devices like a CPAP machine, the weight and tension occasionally caused the adapter to pull slightly out of the outlet. I had to prop it up to maintain a secure connection. Despite this, I highly recommend it. The performance and design far outweigh this small inconvenience, and it remains a dependable addition to any travel kit.

Worked great for my 2-week trip to South Korea! Stayed firmly plugged into the outlet on Korean Air, did not fall out. I worried that it might fold instead of having the strength to plug into outlets, but it was fine. Had enough juice to charge my iPhone 16 Pro. I’m recommending this travel adapter to friends.

Went on a 2 week trip to Europe and this thing was a champ. Was charging 3 phones and 2 tables at once, worked great.
