If you expect a good usb-c charger for less than $10, feel free to keep dreaming. For the rest of us, this is an extension cord with some silly bonus.

For folks unfamiliar with those USB A/C wattage numbers, are they too low for many cell/electronics charging requirements? I think my charging brick is 25W.

Thanks!

all the USB power ratings are DC
Volts x Amps = Watts
standard USB voltage is 5v. but for various fast/quick charge protocols it can vary the voltage a bit. I don't see any fast/quick charge/power delivery listed for this device

18w total for 3 ports is very low.
That might trickle charge 3 modern phones if they are all powered off. If the screen is on you might be breaking even 😆
Very early generation iPhone/iPod chargers were 5V 1A aka 5W.
18w for a single port is decent today for phones, but using multiple ports on this would really only work for very low draw devices.

Great deal for the right person. I picked up one of these for my work office a month or two ago.. it's sufficient speed for any one of my coworkers to charge their phone while on shift, whether they have a type a or type c cord. It also makes for a nice extension cord to plug other adapters into.. which was helpful for me because we didn't have an exposed outlet that didn't require crawling over a bunch of stuff. So having this little cube always available at our shared desk (shiftwork) is a life changer. Best $5 or whatever I paid that I've ever spent, for my specific scenario.

Note, this is good to keep at a desk for easy access. It's a bit bulky for travel.

If you want to charge several things at once, or a powerful tablet, or a laptop... there are better options.

Like others have said, this is a nice little extension cord that has charge ports as a bonus. Good for your office/workspace too.

The List Price for the Cube is actually $13.46. For $3 more, I bought this instead. Longer cord and more outlets
