Beyond the safety aspect, dirty power stresses components in your much more expensive device instead, never good.

The really bad ones put weights inside to hide just how corner cut some fakes can be.

This is a very cheap 118W USB C MacBook Pro charger that appeals mainly on price and the included cable. The low cost and a few reports of it working make it tempting for a quick test, especially for charging a laptop or phone. The main concerns are serious, though, with repeated warnings about chargers failing within months, running very hot, and possibly overstating the wattage. The coupon also reportedly does not work, so the deal depends on whether the bargain is worth the safety and longevity risk.
Common Questions (4)
The charger has repeated warnings about running very hot, short lifespan, and possible safety issues, including concerns about dirty power and inadequate testing. The listed output also does not clearly specify modern charging protocols, so it may not be a good pick for expensive devices.
The listed output specs add up to about 96W at 20.5V/4.7A, so the 118W rating appears overstated based on the product's own numbers. That makes it a questionable choice if you specifically need a true 100W+ charger.
It may charge an iPhone 17 Pro over USB-C, but the charger's protocol support is unclear and there are warnings about over-voltage or over-current risk. That makes it a poor choice if you want a clearly specified phone charger.
The coupon code mentioned in the deal post does not work, so the advertised discount may not apply as expected.

There is no protocol specified to meet the requirements of modern smart phones. It does not appear to even have Qualcomm QC 3 a standard in use for 10 years by a majority of inexpensive USB devices, You can drastically shorten the life of your battery or damage your device with over-voltage over-current.
