Max charging wattage per port is only 20W, even when a single port is used. Going to pass due to that. Would have been nice if it could provide 40W on a single port for laptops or to fast charge phones.

Watts are just a unit of power. Volts and amps are different units that define how that power gets to you. A common metaphor is a water plumbing. Voltage is like your water pressure, and amperage is like the diameter of the pipe. Volts x Amps = Watts. In the US your wall outlets usually provide 120V. Your charger is like a spigot that will turn the pressure up and down to fit your device. You gotta find some way to get the water from the giant water main under your house into your glass, so you install a faucet.

Devices are all designed to draw power at at different rates. Many use a standard called Quick Charge. There are many others though, like Samsung's Super Fast Charging, and USB C Power Delivery (PD).

Most any phone will take the standard 5W or 10W charging that has been available for years and years. Most phones nowadays also utilize some kind of Quick Charge protocol for "fast" charging between 10W and 20W.

If you want the fastest and best charging that doesn't overheat your phone, you'll want to look up what kind of specific charging protocol your phone utilizes and find a charger to match. Good chargers will try to meet many standards.

Newer iPhones will utilize 20W and 27W Power Delivery.
Samsung phones utilize 25W and 45W PPS (aka Super Fast Charging).
Pixels use some form of charging at 27W and 37W.
Laptops will use anywhere from 20W to 100w+ (but you'll usually need a the voltage to be a minimum of 20V)
Smaller devices will use the standard 5W-10W.

The other trick here is that this charger has 40W total, and splits that between the output ports. As you said, they max out at 20W. Meaning you could probably get the fastest charge for an iPhone at 20W, but not a Samsung device since their standard is 25W PPS.

Yep.. I unwittingly bought and returned one before partly for that reason (similar price). They also need to be turned on again via the momentary button every time they lose & receive power.

Definitely preferable to just have a physical on/off switch like most surge protectors.

These are nice, I have the 20w version. Only downside so far is if the power goes out you physically have to push the button on the power strip to turn it back on.

The non surge protector 65w version is showing up at around $15 for me. Not sure if everyone gets the same coupons. Got a 43%of and a 20% off. https://a.co/d/h388jiP I bought the 20w charger last time and regret not checking how slow it would be.

Can someone simple explain to this chick how the watts work? This one says 40w but in the fine print says it's only 20w per C outlet. How much does it need to QC? And how do I find if these new outlets I bought for my house will QC etc....this is so confusing! Help!

If you don't need the extension, they have a 65W for $17 after tax.

So plain USB only provides about 5W of power, which is quite low and only suitable for slow charging phones. Phones and tablets usually use power supplies that support QC to charge at 10-20W.

Larger devices like laptops use USB PD (Power Delivery). Some laptops will run on 20W but others may need as much as 45W to charge while running.

EDIT: This thing is junk. I wrote the below just a couple days ago, but have had the unit since late October. I went in there today to do some minor tidying and unplugged the unit from the wall to untangle it from another cable and tuck it away better. After doing so the unit is completely dead. No light, touching the button does nothing. Tried unplugging everything for a few minutes, tested the outlets. The unit just died, not even 2 months in. Seeing some of the more recent comments here I realize I'm not alone in thinking this brand is cheap trash to the max.

--

Paid $36 for the 40w, I had hoped it would have wall mount holes on the back but doesn't so I glued it to a small board and screwed that to the wall. Just using it as a low profile power port for a game and monitor in a small, otherwise useless space. Chose it because I could hide this right under the wall mount game and have a short cable go straight into it. And it has a couple AC ports so I was able to plug the screen into it too for better cable management. And the regular USB will have plenty of power for a streaming stick if I decide to add one.

Realizing now that was a lot of words to say it's not wall mountable as is

I have this, we had it behind a bookshelf and when the power goes off for a second, you have to manually turn it on, we keep a wooden stick behind the bookshelf to use to reach the power button. Pain in the butt
