Holidaymakers say ‘handy’ travel gadget under £15 is ‘brilliant for packing’

'Brilliant for packing for holiday'

If you're planning a trip and know you'll be frustrated by the hotel room plug sockets - whether it's a lack of, or they're metres away from the bed, then this handy device could be your saviour.

Most people travel with multiple devices, from phones to headphones, and smartwatches to cameras, an extension cable is a travel essential, and this one is under £15.

For a limited time, the ORICO Travel Extension Lead has been reduced from £21.99 to £14.99 in the Amazon spring sale.

It's been designed with travel in mind, as the small power strip is roughly the size of a smartphone and features a wrap-around cable so it packs neatly into a suitcase or hand luggage without taking up valuable space.

But despite its compact design it manages to offer plenty of charging options so you can make sure all of your devices are fully charged on your trip.

This includes two traditional plug sockets alongside two USB-A ports and a USB-C port, allowing travellers to power up to five gadgets at once.

Safety features have also been built into the design, including flame-retardant casing, protection against overheating, overcharging and short circuits, while the extension cord itself uses thick copper wiring designed to handle higher currents.

Shoppers who have bought the extension lead say it's become a go-to travel accessory thanks to it's size and practicality.

One wrote in their Amazon review: "Great travel pack! Comes with a really handy tie to keep the wires nice and neat. 2 usb ports and 2 plugs, really good to charge all your devices on the move. Highly recommend!".

Another said: "The number of times I’ve got to hotels to find just one socket and no usb ports, so then I have a mess of chargers and cables.

"This covers all bases in a neat and tidy solution. It's well made, looks good, and wraps up well to fit neatly back in your bag. The mix of usb ports also enables me to charge multiple devices and still have a socket for my laptop power."

While a third said it was 'brilliant for packing for holiday', adding: "Took up little space. Had USB ports for all devices."

While somebody else noted it's 'also very useful around the home' as well as for travel purposes.
