Review of the Anker Nano Travel Adapter (5-in-1, 20W) - Switch between plugs to suit overseas outlets and charge all your USB devices at once
Adapter plugs that allow you to switch plugs to suit the shape of overseas outlets are a standard item for overseas travel or business trips, but if you only use a adapter plug, you end up having to carry a USB charger separately, which can add to your luggage.The Anker Nano Travel Adapter (5-in-1, 20W) not only functions as a adapter plug, but is also equipped with one AC port, two USB-A ports, and two USB-C ports, making it a 'combined adapter plug and USB charger,' allowing you to conveniently charge and power your devices overseas all in one device.

The Anker Nano Travel Adapter (5-in-1, 20W) features one AC outlet, two USB-A ports, and two USB-C ports, allowing you to charge and power up to five devices simultaneously. However, when using multiple ports, the total output is 15W, so high-power devices like laptops, smartphones, and tablets may not charge properly. Therefore, it is recommended to use the AC port instead of the USB port for high-power devices.
A detailed breakdown of inputs and USB port outputs is as follows:
◆ Input
Japan: 100-125V, 50/60Hz, 8A
UK/Italy: 230V~, 50/60Hz, 8A
◆ Output
・When using a single port
USB-C1: 5V=3A/9V=2.22A/12V=1.67A (maximum 20W)
USB-C2: 5V=3A (max. 15W)
USB-A1/A2: 5V=2.4A (max. 12W)
・When using 2 ports/3 ports/4 ports
Total maximum 15W
When I connected the Type A plug to a power source, the LED indicator on the bottom front of the unit lit up faintly. The white light indicated that the unit was operating normally.
When I connected everything together it looked like this.
I was able to successfully charge wireless earphones, an iPhone, an Apple Watch, and an electric shaver, so it should be fine for charging small devices you take with you on international trips or business trips while you sleep. Note that the Anker Nano Travel Adapter (5-in-1, 20W) does not have a voltage converter, so you'll need a separate voltage converter if you're using devices that don't support overseas voltages.
The Anker Nano Travel Adapter (5-in-1, 20W) is available in two colors, black and white, and is available on the official website and Amazon.co.jp for 3,990 yen (tax included).
