This best-selling travel accessory is on sale for less than $20
There are a few travel mishaps that I encounter from time to time that immediately dampen my mood. One is walking into a hotel room and finding that power outlets are in short supply and I don't have enough to charge all my devices at once.
Luckily, among the hundreds of travel items that are on sale for Amazon's Big Spring Sale is a device that can solve both of these problems. Not only is it one of the most popular devices we've ever featured on TPG, but it's currently on sale for less than $20.
Epicka Universal Travel Adapter
Purchase: Epicka Universal Travel Adapter, $19.99 on Amazon
The universal travel adapter from Epicka will cover all your charging needs, whether you are traveling domestically or abroad. This worldwide adapter has four plugs that cover more than 150 countries, including the U.S., Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Spain.
Additionally, this adapter has four USB-A ports, one USB-C port and an AC socket, so it can charge up to six devices simultaneously. It's compatible with iPhones, laptops, tablets, power banks and other devices. Although it can charge various items, it is not a voltage converter and should not be used for high-voltage items like hair-styling tools.
Epicka's Universal Travel Adapter typically sells for $24.99, but you can currently get it for just $19.99. That's 20% off the list price — so get one now before the price increases.
