Although he is wrong about the AmazonBasics not being able to give 100W to a single port -- the description explicitly says it can. Having said that, 100W USB-C chargers in the $30 range are a dime a dozen. I also have these two:
both of which work fine. The KeyPower is more flexable about allocating power (both C-ports are up to 100W), and its logic for reallocating power is better (it only does it if you plug in a second device, the geekera does it EVERY time even a single device in ... both briefly disconnect the charging device during the allocation process), but the geekera has more USB-C ports, which is why I got it. Both of those also have AC cords and don't directly hang off the outlet, which is a bonus in my book.
The Amazon one has the benefit of saying 'Amazon' on the side, which means it's probably not going to melt, but I haven't had trouble with my chinagarbage ones (yet). Other than that it's the worst -- only one port supports 100W (same as Geekera), but NONE of the USB-A ports support QC (ALL of the other adapters I've linked can do QC on the USB A ports). If two C ports is enough and you like the AC cord, I'd go with the Keypower. I've had mine for years, bought a second one, and never had any problems with it. I like that I don't need to pay attention to which C port I plug my laptop into, which is the main reason I'd recommend it.
In the next step up (150W), I also have one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RXX1B3H, which is nice because it can charge a laptop (PD) and phone (PPS) at the same time with no reduction in power allocation to either. 150W chargers are also becoming pretty common, so shop around. Pay attention to the capabilities of the individual ports. MANY of the cheap high-wattage chargers can't do the power allocation trick and allocate fixed amounts to each port (eg, 50Wx4=200W), which is a hard no for me.
No 12V output, sadly. I have some specific devices that I've modded to work with 12V. Otherwise a great deal for one high-power port and three low-power convenience ports.

This is terrible. Most it can do is 65w. Get a real 100w charger that can actually do 100w in a port. Like the element which has been on Amazon for 6 months at $30, 4 ports, but can actually go up to 100w on a port and comes with a high Amp USB cable. Much better deal. But SD doesn't allow to post the link
Did you read it? It says USB-C Port1 can do 65-100 watts, assuming no other ports are in use.

Lol, convince the staff to post it for you … Staff allow to post anything

That sounds like a good deal. Nothing comes up for a search of "element usb 100w" or similar on Amazon (US). Can you give a model number or other identifier of this item, please?

can you provide the item description or, as another has requested, model number? All I can find is a 6 port by sacrack for 34.99 (and has a 10% off coupon)
May not be a slick deal, but for $15 more ($50 with the on-page coupon) you can get a better performing (based on the AllThingsOnePlace testing) charger

Thanks, good devices. Just be careful when using magnetic tip cables. Mine was 10' in length. Maybe that is too long even for the good quality cables. I destroyed 2 Key brand and one Samsung before I was convinced and threw out the cables.

100W port makes my laptop freeze within minutes after plugging it in.
One of the USB port has broken two of my cables.
Not sure if I had a faulty unit or the voltage coming through the charger is unstable, but it just hasn't worked for me.
