Ceptics 65W World Travel Adapter (NANFUSE-WS) vs TESSAN Universal Travel Adapter (35W, TS-WTA02)
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Travel Adapters: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The Ceptics is the only unit of the four with a grounded path stated by its maker, and it pairs that with a 65W USB-C port and two US outlets. The TESSAN costs less, packs as a single cube and publishes its fuse rating, which is more than most budget cubes do.
Ceptics 65W World Travel Adapter (NANFUSE-WS)
Buy itA small grounded power strip with a 65W USB-C port, two US outlets and six swappable plug attachments.
- Ceptics states a fully grounded connection from the input to the output, which no other unit in this comparison claims.
- USB-C1 is rated 65W max on its own, with a second USB-C port and a USB-A port each rated 30W max.
- Two US outlets accept standard two-prong or three-prong North American plugs, so a laptop brick and a camera charger can run together.
- It is a kit with six separate attachments and a 5-foot detachable cord, so there are loose pieces to keep track of.
- The outlets take North American plugs only, which makes it a poor fit for travellers whose devices have other plug shapes.
- Ceptics' own spec panel does not list surge protection as a feature of this model.
TESSAN Universal Travel Adapter (35W, TS-WTA02)
Buy itA one-piece sliding cube with Type A, C, G and I plugs, a 35W USB-C port and a published 10A replaceable fuse.
- TESSAN publishes the AC rating in full: 100-250V, 10A max, 2500W max.
- The fuse is listed as a replaceable 250V 10A part and a spare is included.
- USB-C3 is rated up to 35W (15V/2.33A or 20V/1.75A), enough for a phone or tablet at fast-charge speed and a slow top-up for a small laptop.
- Total DC output is 35W across all five USB ports, and the other four ports are listed at 5V/2.4A (12W) each.
- TESSAN's page does not state whether the adapter is grounded, and lists no safety certifications or weight for it.
- The listing also sells 65W, 100W and 140W versions, but the published spec block covers the 35W version only.
