'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

This is a great power bank for day to day use. Not too big so you're not tempted to leave it behind, and not too small that it can't give your devices a good recharge.
I especially like the fact that this one is kitted out with both USB-A and USB-C ports, giving me flexibility no matter what needs charging up.

This is an international travel adapter designed to work in the EU, UK, US and AU, and which features a built-in USB-A and USB-C port. Very compact, and a great accessory for business trips.
Note that this adapter does not convert the voltage of the local power, but most electronic devices are rated to work worldwide these days, so that feature is becoming less important. If in any doubt, check with the manufacturer of the device you plan to use.

I love this car charger -- it's a super-compact dual USB-C unit that is no bigger than a thumb and yet can output a whopping 30W. THis makes is perfect for not only smartphone and tablets, but also small laptops.
It's also beautiful and very stylish, which is unusual for most car chargers.
