Yes, it will work. I have the older and newer ver 715 plus 735. All worked. Heck, my old Aukey 20W works when the Deck is off. The OE charger from the Deck is 45W so it's more than enough. I've read folks tried the 30W and also enough to charge while playing casual games. Happy shopping!
These should be ok charger units assuming they meet all the specifications.
The every day list price for most of these kinds of USB PD/PPS chargers is often somewhere right around $0.50/Watt or so (so the 20W units somewhere around $10, 30W $15, 40W $20, 65W $32).
So $27 with free shipping is a little less than these kinds of things often are so not a bad price but sometimes the prices are significantly less than this level on sale for such things.
Re: "This is not correct. If it's truly 65w that's more than sufficient for a steamdeck that requires 45w." --
I don't have experience with a steamdeck but my intuition tells me you're talking about using this as a CONSTANT POWER SUPPLY, not a battery charger for that. So in that case if you're powering something constantly 24x7 (or for hours at a time anyway) that's much more long term average strain on the unit than charging a battery for 45 minutes and then stopping the load when the charge is done.
A lot of times chargers and power supplies are designed to be pretty much right at the upper limit of thermal capability / safety when operated around80%-100% of their rated power output, so add in some aging and warm environments and they can fail very early due to overheating stress.
Therefore in general but in particular for continuous power supply operation it probably is best to keep the power load somewhere well under the 65W or whatever rated maximum capacity of the unit so it'll run a bit cooler and last longer / be less likely to overheat.
So 45W load on a 65W rated charger is 70% of maximum and about as far as I'd want to push a good quality unit in continuous service for the sake of running cool and operational longevity.
Of course if 45W is just the peak powered device power and the average is like 50% of that even better.
I need something like this for the samsung galaxy s20 plus that I got for $100.00 off for a refurbished one from samsung.co sale ends tomorrow. And because it's refurbished it doesn't come with a power brick. Would this one be a better alternative for $29.99 because it has two outlets and comes with the power cords?
I charge my steam deck with a 30w anker nano 3 and doesn't lose charge while playing. As long as it can put out 20V it should be fine. You could go 45w just to make sure you can supply enough power

What reviews are you talking about? none on that page mention steamdeck...
