Better spec but not portable and a lot of real estate on your desk if using at home. I think most people are probably fine with just a 120w these days. Baseus is also a reliable brand.

It still amazes me how willing people are to plug thousand dollar to multi thousand dollar devices into no-name chargers... used to see the same thing 15-20 years ago with desktop power supplies. People would buy top end GPUs, setup custom watercooling loops, Lian Li cases, and then there'd be a $50 newegg special power supply chomping at the bit to fail and smoke everything.

Glad it amazed you.For the rest who needs this, it worked great for me. Been using it for almost a year. No issues

Are we looking at 2 different products? Both the original listing and the suggested alternative are about the same size and equally "portable?"
Perhaps we have different ideas of defining portable. But for reference so others can determine what is portable to them...
Baseus measurements from the photo:
(31.5mm x 75mm x 84mm) 3.15 cm x 7.5 cm x 8.4 cm = 198.45 cm³
The off-brand one posted above:
5.63 x 4.76 x 1.77 inches
metric conversion
5.63 inches = 14.30 cm
4.76 inches = 12.09 cm
1.77 inches = 4.50 cm
volume: 14.30 cm x 12.09 cm x 4.50 cm = 777.30 cm³
The size of the other brand in above link: 3.58 x 3.38 x 1.45 inches=17.5 inches^3= 288cm^3. It's ~45% larger.
I have both, Baseus is smaller, but it is heavier. Both have limitations how much power can be delivered from a port when the other ports are connected and active, so don't assume all slots can be active at maximum claimed power. Baseus has better diagram about the limitations

serious question if you don't mind, have you ever had a charger negatively affect your device? I know there are some cheap ones that certainly could but I have never had an issue

Thank you for clarifying the measurements, I don't know why I found a different measurement on that generic brand. And good point about weight if that's important for some folks who want to travel light.

So you never plug your phone into a public charger at airports, hotels or coffee shops? It's your inconvenience, not mine.

I have seen the aftermath of some of the more...let's call them spectacular failures...and I wouldn't want to be on the receiving side. For what it's worth, my professional background began in electrical engineering and there's a few things that make me rather wary of the no-name chargers:
1) Fake listings (UL/CE/etc.) – pretty common to see devices that aren't actually listed but rather have fake listings (i.e., just printing UL or CE on the package when it was never submitted for listing). Technically it's not legal to connect unlisted devices to electrical systems that are grid tied here in the states when a listed product is available (notably, there are hundreds of legitimately listed devices available, so an exception wouldn't apple here). Unlisted devices also tend to produce a lot of electromagnetic interference, frequently pretty broadband, which can raise the local noise floor for wireless communications. Worse, such cheap devices may cut significant corners in their design that compromises not only power quality, but also end user safety. There's also the possibility of issues arising from insurance claims due to the use of a non-listed device should it cause a fire or other property damage–but I'm not in any way licensed in the insurance industry and therefore am just mentioning this as a possibility and would recommend you consult appropriately licensed professionals to validate.
2) Power quality can range from questionable to unsafe. High ripple voltages outside of USB specs are common on these cheap ones, which can result in accelerated battery degradation. Additionally, similar to what I mentioned with listings, a well designed power supply should be designed to fail open. Some of these cheaper supplies do not have appropriate isolation and could fail closed, pushing line voltage into the connected device(s) which will almost certainly result in failure of the connected device(s). This is more than theoretical–I've personally witnessed the aftermath of such failures with cheap computer power supplies and on a cheap switched mode "bench" power supply that was powering amateur radio equipment.
3) Component quality - You are typically (but not always) paying for higher quality components when purchasing from a reputable supplier, which typically correlates to higher efficiencies and longer service life. Thermal protection / monitoring, heatsink design, and connector quality are also typically better with the reputable brands.
Which brings me to my position. I don't think it's worth saving ~$5 upfront on a no-name device, because in all likelihood a higher quality one is going to last longer and be more efficient, potentially resulting in a lower total cost of ownership but also having a significantly higher safety margin for connected devices and the property where the charger is being used.
Notably, this is in reference to the cheap no-name one linked. Baseus stuff actually appears to be halfway decent, but as always...Caveat Emptor.

You're correct...I travel frequently and don't use those public chargers. It's not exactly a hassle to carry a charger in my backpack given I'll end up using that charger at my destination as well. And half the time those public chargers are worn out or don't support anything but 5V/1A. (I also carry a battery bank in case there aren't many AC outlets available.)
Even if I did use a public charger though, if it damaged a connected device there's a decent chance you're going to get compensated by the entity providing them (although it may end up involving a small claims case to get to that point)...Far less likely when dealing with a fly-by-night brand that's mass importing chargers.
(Again, noting, this is in reference to the cheap one linked. NOT the Baseus, which appears to be a decent value. Caveat Emptor, of course.)
