MINIX 140W Universal Travel Power Adapter, GaN III International Power Adapter, 3 USB-C Ports, 1 USB-A Port, AC Jack, Travel Charger for Cameras, Laptops, Tablets, Phones & More

I bought this adapter to simplify travel with my family, which includes two young children. Instead of carrying 3-4 charging bricks and multiple travel adapters, I opted for the 140-watt model to fast charge our 12 USB devices, from phones to headphones. This was meant to be my primary charger, with a backup travel adapter and power brick as spares. When I first unboxed it, I wasn’t particularly impressed, but it feels adequately made. The different plugs (EU, US, etc.) are functional, though I’d appreciate more sturdiness, especially with small kids around. The adapter’s design is modern and discreet, which reduces the worry of theft. It’s also compact and didn’t add much weight to my carry-on, which is a plus. The ports are all on the same side, which occasionally led to tangled cords among the four of us. However, I prefer this setup to having ports distributed on different sides. It wasn’t a major issue. Even with all ports in use, the adapter only got slightly warm, which is expected with this power output. I used this extensively in a country with EU plugs, averaging at least 10 hours of usage daily, and it performed excellently- I used it only a handful of times as a travel adapter, that is using it to power a US-plugged electric device. The adapter is decently durable, surviving minor bumps in my bag without any damage. While I usually keep devices charged at home, the demands of travel meant some devices would run down, and this adapter was a lifesaver for quickly recharging them. I couldn’t check the power quality from the plugs we used, but the adapter consistently delivered around 45 watts through the three USB-C cables I had power meters on, sometimes reaching the low 80-watt range. With the additional USB-A plug, it likely approached 100 watts. On our last leg, after a long day followed by a night flight, this charger was reassuring. Even with the kids watching something in the terminal, I knew our devices would be sufficiently charged for the flight. Given the convenience and reliability, I’m pleased with this premium unit, though without a teardown, I can’t fully speak to its internal build quality. It performed flawlessly on one trip, so I can’t give it less than full marks. I haven’t purchased a travel adapter in years, and so I don’t have much to compare it too, but I do know that having a high-speed charger when you need, while you are traveling is important to me, so I do think this unit is worth it, even if the price is pushing it a bit.

Exactly what we need for fast charging while traveling.

Comprato per multipli viaggi all’estero, usato per caricare xps da 15 e tutto il necessario in un viaggio di lavoro e piacere molto velocemente. Lo uso anche tutti i giorni. Leggero e efficiente. Non fa scherzi con il trackpad e non ronza.

Since I am a traveling photographer, I needed something that could charge multiple devices with ease. Although this charger seemed to be working as intended, it is just not reliable and will more often than not lose contact and not charge. To elaborate: every device I connect will switch between being charging and not charging, resulting in the continuous beeping sounds of semi-charging devices. Like plugging a faulty charging cable into your phone. This problem is manageable by carefully reinserting the charger multiple times in the sockets, but that just gets annoying to do every single charging. I tried multiple sockets and cables, but after using a different charger, the problem seems to be with this device. It is also quite heavy, and will slump out of the socket too. Even using a power strip and placing the unit horizontally on the floor (so it doesn't slump) does not work, and my devices could only receive juice by wiggling the charger in a specific position. My phone would also disconnect in the middle of the night, leaving it drained and empty for the next day because the retractable sockets kept losing contact. Again, very annoying. While the power output is plentiful, the reliability of the charger is just too bare-bones. I would suggest you find a different charger than this one and save yourself the problems I had.

Excellent charger bought for my trip to St Lucia. Great charger worked well for my wife and I during our trip. Charged our phones and laptops quickly. I would by this again. It's so versatile that I now use it everyday at home.
