Action threw it for PLN 34.99. At the airport, a few times more, and you must have it

And this is where the reliable Action comes to the rescue with its cheap gadgets. Before leaving, it is worth purchasing a Spilbergen travel plug, which will ensure compatibility with all sockets in the world. Action has just dropped such an accessory for PLN 34.99 – it’s just pennies, and at the airport they charge several times more, even three-digit sums.

The Spilbergen travel plug looks like a slightly larger charger, but it allows you to connect devices to sockets in over 150 countries, including the UK, Switzerland, Italy, the USA, China and Japan. Instead of carrying several different adapters, the user has built-in sliders that allow the user to slide out the appropriate plug for a given region. The low weight and foldable design make the adapter fit perfectly in your hand luggage without taking up valuable space.

Such a gadget allows you to easily connect chargers to smartphones, tablets, TWS headphones or laptops in foreign hotels. You can even connect small household appliances such as shavers or sonic toothbrush chargers.

However, it is worth noting that the Spilbergen adapter has a 2-pole structure. This means that you cannot safely connect devices that require grounding (3-prong plugs are needed here), e.g. powerful hair dryers with a thicker cable. Secondly, the adapter only physically fits the plug into the socket – it is not a transformer and does not change the voltage. When connecting a phone charger in the USA (where the sockets are 110 V), make sure that the device’s power supply supports the range of 100-240 V, which is standard in today’s mobile electronics.

The Spilbergen travel plug is available in Action stores – and where exactly, it is best to check on the chain’s website, where you can quickly find the nearest facility.
