Anker Nano Travel Adapter Hits All-Time Low

Anker’s Nano Travel Adapter just hit an all-time low at $19.99.

The pocketable, five-port charger is designed for globe-trotters who want to charge phones, cameras, and more without lugging a tangle of bricks. The 5-in-1, 20W brick slips into over 200 countries with four plug types (A, C, G, and I), and it weighs just 3.77 ounces with folded-prong design. It’s small enough to drop into a carry-on and powerful enough to handle multiple devices at once: two USB-A ports and two USB-C ports share up to 15W, while a single USB-C port can deliver up to 20W. Verge noted its ability to juice an iPhone 17 from 0 to 50 percent in under 30 minutes when used on that port alone. It also includes built-in temperature control to guard against overheating on long-haul charging sessions.

Pricing is the big headline, and it’s a strong one. The Verge points out the adapter is at its all-time low of $19.99, down from $25.99 in many listings. It’s available at both Amazon and Anker’s site, with a promo code (WS7DV2S3TD3T) available on Anker’s page. The no-subscription economics here are straightforward: you pay the device price, and there are no ongoing fees to access the USB ports.

Setup time and difficulty are delightfully minimal. It’s plug-and-play: unfold the prongs, plug into any compatible outlet, and you can start charging immediately. For frequent travelers, that means fewer packing decisions and less stuff in your bag. In practice, the adapter’s compact footprint and folding plug keep luggage lighter and less cluttered.

Two important caveats justify some buyer caution. First, this is a travel adapter, not a voltage converter. It cannot convert voltage, so you must ensure your devices are dual-voltage or use a separate step-down/step-up converter for non-dual-voltage gear. In other words, it’s fantastic for charging phones, cameras, and small gadgets, but not a substitute for high-wattage appliances like hair dryers or irons when you’re abroad. Second, power distribution is a tradeoff you’ll feel in real life: two USB-C and two USB-A ports share only up to 15W, unless you use a single USB-C port alone (which can reach 20W). If you’re juggling multiple fast-charging devices, you’ll want to stagger usage or accept slower charging on some ports.

Who should buy versus who should skip? Buy if you travel frequently, need universal plug compatibility, and mainly charge phones, wearables, and cameras. The price drop makes it unusually compelling for a carry-on staple. Skip if you rely on high-wattage devices for extended periods, or if you routinely travel to regions where you’ll need robust single-port charging across several devices at top speed. If you’re shopping against a model that includes voltage conversion or higher total watts, you’ll want to compare wattage per port and the need for an external converter.

The broader context for this kind of gadget is a price-performance squeeze. Travel adapters have leveled up in resilience and multi-port flexibility, but the value hinges on real-world charging needs: how many devices you carry, how often you travel, and whether you also need voltage conversion. For most casual travelers, the Anker Nano Travel Adapter at $19.99 is a practical, no-surprise upgrade—especially with an all-time-low price and heat-managed safety features in a package that fits inside a pocket or a small bag.

Verdict: Buy now. It’s cheap, portable, and versatile for most travelers who don’t need a full voltage converter or a wall-to-wall charging station in one brick.
