https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BFRJHKWJ/ (Geekera, $32, has permanently attached AC Cord)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07THC5DJV/ (KeyPower, $38, has replaceable AC cord, most flexible charging port power allocation)
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.

Black version ships to bay area. No idea why

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

Post the deal in SD. Then you can link to it.

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.
Eyeballing that 150W with $10 coupon.
Thanks. Repped
