Every review was from someone who got it for free. Looks cool I guess but not my thing.

It is my thing but knowing a bunch of people got it free while I'm trying to be slick over here makes this a hard pass

Yeah, I am banned for life on Amazon reviews because I used to receive items for free (and disclosed that in my review). However it's perfectly fine as long as Amazon controls the people who post reviews in their Vine program (and disclose it more subliminally, outside the review, and in green text like it's a positive thing).

So silly to see a product like this and 100% are from Amazon Vine reviewers.

Regardless of the vine only reviews, the retractable USB-C 65W is perfect for laptop charging and keeping cables tidy. Seems like a neat feature. Lets hope the quality holds up.

When you write enough reviews on Amazon, these companies will harass you with free products to write favorable reviews for them. Paid shills everywhere, absolutely disgusting.

I bought the battery version of this. It has the same case design and 65w PD. It has performed flawlessly so far. It runs my home wifi modem out in the field. All the reviews may be paid, but I'm a legit one.

Interesting marketing photo with a kettle, hairdryer and phone charger on the countertop. It's like a training manual for insurance investigation...

Is this really a fire hazard or otherwise tho? I have a baseus lamp, and one of those monitor lamps. They've worked flawless compared to the BenQ stuff. Obviously a rip off but quality wise they've been pretty good.

Isn't the idea behind a power tower or power strip to prevent fires?

Even at $48 it seems expensive for a no-name 65w usb-c charger. The retractable cable seems like a cool gimmick, but is a point of failure (compared to other chargers where you can swap out the cable easily)

This looks like such a weird piece of crap. The definition of "jack of all trades, but master of none".

I have a couple 65W 3 port Baseus travel chargers I bought from AliExpress.

If you don't need stuff immediately, you can usually save 30-60% buying from Ali over Amazon.

They are well built, on par with Mi (Xiaomi) chargers.

The only thing I don't like about them is the 'smart' power distribution when multiple devices are plugged in. When one device finishes, It switches to higher power for the other device. When doing so, it briefly shuts off the current flow and restarts that port at the higher rate.

That makes sense, but when one of your devices is a phone, you get repeated dings as your phone swtches back and forth from full fast to lesser fast charging as the second and third devices eventually start 'topping off' again.

Considering they were a net <$20 shipped each, I still think they were way better value than other 65W PD devices.

Well I bought the 100w 2 USB C & 2 USB A version based off of real-life testing youtuber 'AllThingsOnePlace'. He compares a lot of consumer electronics, like power adapters, cords, smart bulbs, etc and tests them via video with his testing equipment. Even does a few heat tests. The 100w does get a little warm, even when charging just 1 single phone, but only to like 110 degrees F at the most​ for me. Anker is just becoming what Samsung is of android phones, costing way to much for what it is when there are better options out there.

Also, Anker has the same business practices, and most of their stuff, like their former competitor Aukey, sponsored reviews. Plus at LTT, they showed that their Eufy camera line is sketchy as heck.

Baseus is legit quality Chinese brand
In my experience it's similar to Anker quality.
It looks like new product from Baseus. I don't see a reason to buy this big charger over much smaller and cooler with GaN for a same price
