If you’re staying in a hotel, you can also check the outlet near the light switch in the bathroom. Many international hotels provide a single 110-120v outlet (often marked "Electric Shaver") in the bathroom, which is appropriate for any of your U.S. hair devices.

ChargeAll, despite how revolutionary it sounds, is a very simple device. It’s basically a big white brick with a meaty four-cell 12,000 mAh lithium-ion battery, a DC-to-AC inverter, and a 5-volt USB socket and standard 120-volt US wall plug on the front. There doesn’t seem to be any magical, industry-redefining magic at play here: It’s just a battery-powered wall outlet. (The only limit, incidentally, is that devices can’t use more than 85 watts. You can’t use ChargeAll to power a microwave — but it might just power your desktop PC, if you’re lucky.)

Garden: Not sure about this one. Gardens are typically decorative spaces that you visit for brief periods of time. You’re there to move some dirt around and get on with your life. You’re probably getting up and down a bunch. You don’t want to be moving a speaker every few minutes as you go along. You don’t want to get dirt in the Echo’s zillion holes either. Verdict: plausible but eh.

The need to recharge also brings up a questionable design choice. The cable connecting the electrical plug to the power brick is only seven inches long –a ChargeTech rep says this is to keep it as compact as possible for travel. However, this means that if the PLUG is plugged into a typical wall outlet for recharging, its power brick is hanging suspended in midair instead of sitting on the floor. I doesn’t seem dangerous –the cable is a very thick one and not being stressed– but it looks strange and could prevent you from plugging the battery pack in to some hard to reach electrical outlets.

It’s not perfect, but it can get the job done in certain situations, having you moving away from the creepy parking lot in almost less time that it’d take you to get ahold of a friend or family member who’s willing to come and jump-start your vehicle without wanting a significant favor in return.

But before you plug in that dusty old space heater this winter, you’ll want to follow this safety tip: don’t use extension cords and power strips.

Having wood and dry leaves in your house is already a fire risk, so adding something to make the tree burn more easily is not the smartest thing you could think of.
