I got three of these with the last deal using an Amex offer. Nice size and convenient to carry around, but the battery pack only charges at around 7w and takes forever. Hardly use it anymore because most of the time when we find it around the house, it's dead and takes about 2-3hr to charge.
The best use case I can think of is if you are traveling and only have a USB-c charger with you, this will let you charge your iPhone along with your laptop, iPad Pro, and others.
I would not buy at this price.

Just FYI, this seems to be the older model to the newer 621.

I have one of these. My experience:

1) You can't overnight charge it like you would a normal wireless charger if you have battery protection on since it requires "activation." My phone will stop at 80%, turn the charger off, and since the phone doesn't have hands, it can't retrigger when it's getting ready for me to wake up to charge the extra 20%

2) 5,000 mAh isn't a ton. I enjoy it because the iPhone Mini's battery is so tiny, but due to the inefficiency of Qi vs a wired connection, don't expect a 1:1 charge ratio.

3) It's a really great idea and despite the drawbacks, I don't usually leave home without mine.

There are better products at a more competitive price point like this one (at time of writing $43 - $15 coupon = $28):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09ZXWWCGH/

This one does charge at 15W wirelessly but it does get quite warm if you leave it attached for awhile. There's an option to turn off wireless charging and plug in a (short) cable for wired charging which is what I plan to do when I travel with this.
MagSafe charging is limited to 7.5W. You can feed it more than 7.5W, but it won't make it charge any faster. It'll throttle down to that rate.

Quote from Tnyc :
So what's the reasoning behind this product? When you have to use a portable battery charger, it means you are out and about and you want to charge your phone as fast as possible. The 5w wireless charger defeats this purpose so it's useless in this case. Thankfully it does come with a USB C cable for faster charging speed. Might as well get one without a wireless charging feature for cheaper price or higher capacity.
I think the intent is that it's not to be used when you're almost out of battery, but to use as a battery extender throughout the day. So as your phone is slowly discharging from usage, this will slowly replenish the charge.

If you know you're going to be out and about for an extended period of time without access to a charger, you slap it on and basically extend your battery life for the day.

Use it when you know you'll have a long day and let it act like a battery extender.

It's like, features matter in a product and it's not all about capacity.

Agreed. A nice battery extender with MagSafe(stick to phone without wire) from reputable brand makes it well worth $26. Especially the size is perfect for iphone mini to extend the battery life for a whole day. 5000mah is enough to extend usage for a whole day. My 2 cents.

Doesn't seem like a great deal, you can get 10000mah and 15W wireless charging for $30 from other brands. It's fine if you want the brand and form factor I guess.

Not sure if other brand is reliable. Some reviews of other brand on Amazon might be fake and if you read the negative reviews, in most of cases, the non brand chargers could die very soon. That's the reason I choose Anker, at least their customers service is good. Just my 2 cents.

I just got this cheaper a few days ago... I think it was 30 percent off of sale price. Also It works with pixel 7 but will not work if you have any case on it. Also does not hold its own weight with the magnets to the phone.

It does work on the pixel 7.But not with any case I have tried a few. . Also It has to be at the bottom of pixel 7 and it does not stick to it the way it should it will not hold its own weight when tipped or turned over. Very weak magnet. I ended up using the cord that came with it to charge new phone and it was dead before it reached 100 percent. Hope this helps.

What price did you get it for and where? I'd be curious to keep an eye out for it at a cheaper price than this

Believe it or not, magsafe battery chargers and mounts are the only thing that make me envy iphone owners.

Looks like a good price. One of the lowest ive seen for the bigger batteries

Does not work with Pixel 7 Frown. I have pixel stand and alarm clock with wireless charing area and both work flawlessly with case on. I bought MagSafe case for this reason too so it sticks very well but refuses to charge. I took case off and moved charger around everywhere and it just refuses to charge my pixel. Charges my AirPods Pro and my brothers iPhone just fine, just not my pixel. This is very bizzarre.
