A 6-in-1 travel strip with 67W USB-C output, two AC outlets, two USB-A ports and a 5 ft cord with a 0.35 in flat plug, backed by a 24-month warranty.
Pros
- 67W USB-C output is the highest stated here, with USB-A at up to 12W
- 3.94 by 3.66 by 0.75 in body at 13.9 oz, with a 0.35 in flat plug
- 75% post-consumer recycled plastics in the housing, per the listing

Cons

- Only two AC outlets, the fewest here
Detailed Review
Anker lists the Nano as a 6-in-1 strip: two USB-C ports up to 67W, two USB-A ports up to 12W and two AC outlets, on a 5 ft cord with a 0.35 in flat plug. The body measures 3.94 by 3.66 by 0.75 in and weighs 13.9 oz, the spec table lists TUV as the specification met. The listing states no surge protection. One contradiction: the spec table lists a 240 V input beside a North American Type B plug the bullets do not repeat, so treat the input as unclear.
Who it's for: a traveler who charges a laptop over USB-C and wants the highest stated wattage here. Who should skip it: anyone who needs more than two AC outlets or stated surge protection.
Its Office Score of 9.7/10 comes from performance 32/35, build 21/25, value 21/25, safety 8/10 and warranty 4/5: 86 of 100 points, placed on our 9.2 to 9.8 scale.

Safety and Warranty
What this listing states. TUV listed as the specification met; no surge protection stated, so safety scores 8 of 10. 24-month product warranty. It does not say everything a buyer needs, such as who pays return shipping, so warranty scores 4 of 5. See How We Pick.

Detailed Review
ORICO lists the AP3 as a 7-in-1 strip: four AC outlets, two USB-A ports and one USB-C port, on a 4 ft wrap-around cord with a 0.39 in 45-degree flat plug. The strip is ETL Listed with an 18-month warranty, and the bullets state no surge protection, which the listing calls cruise approved. Two dimension figures appear: 4.33 by 2.5 by 1.6 in in the bullets, 4.7 in long by 2.5 in wide in the spec table. The bullets also note Royal Caribbean does not allow corded strips onboard.
Who it's for: a traveler who wants the most AC outlets in a packable body. Who should skip it: Royal Caribbean cruisers, or anyone who needs a stated USB-C wattage.

Detailed Review
ORICO lists the TK65 as a 65W GaN 7-in-1 strip: three AC outlets, two USB-A ports at 18W and two USB-C ports, with a stated 45W plus 12W total. The cord has a winding strap and a 0.39 in 45-degree flat plug. The listing states no surge protection and cruise ship use. Two figures need a note: the title says 4 ft while the plug bullet says 4.43 ft, and the bullets name four colors while the spec table lists black only. The listing states a 12-month warranty.
Who it's for: a traveler who wants GaN fast charging for a laptop and phone. Who should skip it: anyone who wants a stated certification or a longer warranty.

Pros
- 25 ft flat cord reaches outlets across a room
- Nine devices at once, with 1.64 in spaced outlets for big adapters
- 0.13 in cord and 0.31 in plug fit under doors
- Two mounting holes for wall or nightstand mounting

- 25 ft cord is built for home use, not a travel bag
- No certification is stated in the listing

Detailed Review
NTONPOWER lists a 25 ft flat extension cord, 0.13 in thick, feeding a 3-side strip with six AC outlets, two USB-A ports and one USB-C port for up to nine devices. The AC outlets sit 1.64 in apart, the 0.31 in flat plug has two mounting holes, and the USB ports share 5V/3.1A with 2.4A max each. The listing states an 18-month warranty. One note: the spec table's port count reads 6 while the bullets describe nine charging points.
Who it's for: a home worker whose desk sits far from the outlet. Who should skip it: any traveler, since the 25 ft cord is not built for a bag.

Detailed Review
NTONPOWER lists three AC outlets, two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports for seven devices, with a stated 1250W (125V-10A) max and 15.5W max USB. The 4 ft cord wraps around the 4 by 4 by 0.9 in body with a 0.31 in plug, and the listing states no surge protection. The listing names Carnival, Princess, Norwegian, Holland America and Virgin Voyages as allowing no-surge strips, and notes Disney, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and MSC do not. Two things to note: the spec table calls the shape round while the bullets describe a 4 by 4 in square body.
Who it's for: a cruiser on one of the named lines who wants two USB-C ports in the smallest body. Who should skip it: anyone who wants a warranty term or sails Disney, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity or MSC.

How we scored them
The Office Score weighs performance (ports, USB output and cord), build (housing, plug and cord design), value, safety and warranty. For a power strip, safety means a stated certification or a stated no-surge design for cruise use: the ORICO AP3 is ETL Listed, the Anker lists TUV as the specification met, and the NTONPOWER and TK65 state no surge protection without naming a certification. Four listings state a warranty term: the Anker at 24 months, the ORICO AP3 and the 25 ft strip at 18 months, and the TK65 at 12 months. How we pick explains the weights.
| Product | Office Score | Perf. /35 | Build /25 | Value /25 | Safety /10 | Warranty /5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anker Nano 6-in-1 | 9.7 | 32 | 21 | 21 | 8 | 4 |

| NTONPOWER 3A2U2C | 9.4 | 28 | 19 | 20 | 3 | 0 |
Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each product’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score.
How to choose the best travel power strip
Count the ports you actually travel with
The five picks charge six to nine devices. AC outlets run from two on the Anker to six on the 25 ft strip, while USB ports run from three to four. Match the mix to what you pack: the Anker, the ORICO TK65 and the NTONPOWER each state two USB-C ports, while the four AC outlets on the ORICO AP3 suit travelers who carry wall chargers for everything.
Match USB-C output to your laptop
USB-C output is where the five diverge. The Anker states 67W and the ORICO TK65 states 65W, both aimed at laptops, while the NTONPOWER travel strip states 15.5W max and the 25 ft strip shares 5V/3.1A. The ORICO AP3 states no USB-C wattage at all. A laptop in the bag makes the two high-wattage strips the shortlist; phones and earbuds alone are covered by the lower-output strips.
| Strip | USB-C output | AC outlets | Cord |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anker Nano 6-in-1 | 67W max | 2 | 5 ft |
| ORICO AP3 Travel | Not stated | 4 | 4 ft |
| ORICO TK65 GaN | 65W max | 3 | 4 ft |
| NTONPOWER 25ft Strip | 5V/3.1A shared | 6 | 25 ft |
| NTONPOWER 3A2U2C | 15.5W max total | 3 | 4 ft |
Figures as stated in each listing. A wattage figure describes that listing only; compare them side by side rather than assuming every strip in a class matches.
Cord, plug and packability
The travel-size strips state 4 ft or 5 ft cords, the Anker’s 5 ft and the rest 4 ft. The ORICO AP3 and the NTONPOWER wrap their cords around the body, the TK65 adds a strap, and the 25 ft cord is built to cross a room. Every flat plug is stated at 0.31, 0.35 or 0.39 in thick: the Anker at 0.35 in, the two ORICOs at 0.39 in with a 45-degree angled design, and the NTONPOWER pair at 0.31 in. If the outlet sits behind a nightstand, any fits; if the bag is small, the 4 by 4 by 0.9 in NTONPOWER body is the smallest stated. A short extension cord can serve the same hotel-nightstand job when you only need one extra outlet, and a metal cable management box keeps cords tidy at home.
Cruise rules and the no-surge detail
None of the five state surge protection, and the two cruise-oriented strips treat that as a feature, stating no surge protection. The NTONPOWER names Carnival, Princess, Norwegian, Holland America and Virgin Voyages; Disney, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and MSC do not. The ORICO AP3 carries the same warning for Royal Caribbean. Check the cruise line’s rules before packing, and see the surge protector and cable management guides when you need protection at home.
Setup Notes
- Measure outlet-to-desk distance: the travel strips state 4 ft or 5 ft cords, while the 25 ft strip covers a whole room.
- Confirm the cruise line allows a no-surge strip; the listings name Carnival, Princess, Norwegian, Holland America and Virgin Voyages.
- Stay within the stated limits: the NTONPOWER travel strip states 1250W (125V-10A) max, and the ORICO AP3 and TK65 state 10 A max.
- Check plug clearance behind furniture: flat plugs are stated at 0.31, 0.35 or 0.39 in thick.
