This USB Charger from Inateck is a triple port, USB-C and USB-A wall charger designed for travellers. Measuring in at 82 × 49 × 45mm and weighing 62g, it's a very portable size for the frequent traveller. Included in the box along with the charger are a selection of 3 regional wall plugs, a USB Type C cable and user guide.

The supplied wall plugs cover EU, UK and US regions and are easily swapped out by pushing in a small button and sliding the plug off.

The USB-C port supports the Power Delivery protocol meaning it can charge the likes of a Macbook or other support devices. This port offers a range of voltages from 5V through to 20V and a maximum of 30W.
The two USB-A ports have a maximum of 3A combined but using one port at a time is limited to 5V/2.4A output for 12W which is an increase over the likes of the standard supplied iPad charger which are usually rated at 10W and in line with the iPad Pro.

I saw no issues in my testing - charging the likes of my iPhone, iPad Pro 9.7 and mini 4 as quickly as I would expect if they were charging with their own with original adapter. Unfortunately, I no longer have a Macbook to test the USB-C charging feature but this port did greatly improve the charging time of my 12.9 iPad Pro - effectively halving the charge time.

This wall charger performed its tasks without issue and while warm to the touch, as expected with a high performance charger, it never gave cause for concern.

Build quality feels very solid and I am more than happy to use this as my go to charger when travelling thanks to the quick charge times on offer as well as the flexibility of two types of USB port. I think it is well priced for what it offers and the package as a whole.
