The Anker Nano Travel Adapter just hit its all-time low.

Travel-life drivers, rejoice: the pocketable Nano Travel Adapter is back at a price that won’t force you to choose between squeezing in one more charger or one more pair of socks. The Verge reports that Anker’s 5‑in‑1 power brick is down to $19.99, a $6 drop from its usual $25.99, with deals live at Amazon and directly from Anker (using code WS7DV2S3TD3T). It’s the company’s smallest, most travel-friendly charger, and this sale makes it easier to justify tossing it into a carry-on without guilt.

What you’re getting is a compact, four-plug travel solution that’s designed for real trips, not just pretend ones. The Nano Travel Adapter covers four plug types—A, C, G, and I—so it plays nicely in more than 200 countries. At a glance, it weighs 3.77 ounces and measures under an inch thick with the prongs folded in, which means it disappears in a backpack pocket or a small tote. It’s built with temperature control to reduce the risk of overheating during longer sessions, a welcome safety feature for homes and hotel rooms where outlets are already stressed.

Power-wise, it’s a true 5‑in‑1: one AC outlet for larger gadgets, plus two USB‑A ports and two USB‑C ports. All four USB ports share up to 15W of output; if you’re only using a single USB‑C port, it can deliver up to 20W. In practical terms, you’ve got enough juice to push an iPhone 17 from 0 to about 50% in under 30 minutes when you’re using a solo USB‑C connection—ample for most daily needs on the road, less ideal if you’re trying to PD-charge a laptop or run a power-hungry device at full speed.

Two notes that travelers should tuck into the back of their minds. First, this is not a voltage converter. If you’re visiting a country with 230V mains and you’re plugging in devices that aren’t dual-voltage, you’ll still need a proper voltage transformer or a device that supports the local voltage. Second, while the adapter can charge multiple gadgets at once, high-wattage devices (think some laptops or larger gaming gear) will slow the output on the USB ports to maintain safety and heat limits. If your goal is to keep a laptop charged on a single outlet while you’re abroad, you’ll likely want something with higher PD capability.

Who should buy this? Frequent travelers with several low-wattage devices, or anyone who wants a pocketable, all-in-one charging anchor for hotel rooms, airbnbs, or long layovers. It’s perfect for phones, earbuds, cameras, e-readers, and light USB-C devices. If your travel kit includes a laptop that needs 60W–100W PD, or you routinely need to power multiple high-draw devices at once, you’ll likely want a larger, higher-wattage alternative.

Setup is minimal: plug in, select the right plug type, and you’re ready to charge—no app, no accounts, no elaborate pairing. That’s a rare win in a market crowded with subscription traps, but here you get straightforward hardware and honest power specs.

Bottom line: for the price and the travel-friendly form factor, this is a solid grab for most travelers. If you’re juggling several small devices and want to travel light, buy now. If you’re hoping to power a laptop at full speed from every outlet you find abroad, skip this one and look for a higher-w wattage PD charger.

Verdict: Buy—at $19.99, with foldable prongs and real travel-world versatility, it’s hard to beat. Skip only if your needs include heavy PD charging for laptops or you rely on a single, high-wattage USB-C PD port for speed.
