Going to a foreign country and not being able to charge or power your gadgets—well, that’s just not acceptable.
Kensington’s International Travel Plug Adapter with USB charger is a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to adapting to the many different types of plugs you’ll encounter on international trips. And it saves space since you won’t have to carry a bag full of adapters. This one adapter will fit plugs in more than 150 countries and can be used as a wall adapter or for USB power.
Choosing the right plug is as easy as pushing a button and sliding it out. It works from China to Mozambique—the list is long.
The USB converter makes this gadget even handier as more devices can be charged with USB cables. A Kensington power adapter I reviewed earlier doesn’t have the USB feature, so this one will be my new go-to adapter for international trips.
This travel adapter won’t break the budget, either. The retail price is $29.99, with a significant discount at Amazon and
Buy.com.
One note—this adapter is made for consumer and electronic equipment such as a laptop, MP3 player, a smartphone or alarm clock. It’s not designed for high-powered devices such as hair dryers.
If you travel internationally, the Kensington 33346 International Travel Plug Adapter with USB Charger should be along for the ride. It will keep your gadgets going just about anywhere.

I agree. It’s very useful to have one of these when travelling cause nobody wishes to have charging problems.

Correct! Who would want to have an empty phone battery when going on a trip? Kind of expensive though but its worth the money if you ask me.

These are very handy to have if you travel, even for just around the home. I just bought one from Amazon, there free shipping.
