Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Under 5 oz and 3.6 x 3.6 x 1.45 inches, so it packs easily into a carry-on or tech pouch
  • + Two USB-C plus two USB-A ports cut down on separate charging bricks for phones and tablets
  • + The 5 ft cord reaches a bedside table from an outlet hidden behind hotel furniture

Trade-offs

  • - 21W total USB output is slow for laptops, so a laptop still needs its own charger in an outlet
  • - Only two AC outlets, and the listing gives no joule rating for the surge protection
