CHGeek Wireless Car Charger 15W Fast Charging Auto Clamping Car Charger Phone Mount Phone Holder fit for iPhone

Updated review: The seller contacted me and offered an improved replacement with a 2 year warranty. I wanted this to work last time so I accepted the upgrade. I've waited for 3 months to post this until I had tested it completely. I've taken it on 3 long all day road trips and use it for work 4 days a week making deliveries and doing estimates in my construction related business. It has worked great! I initially had an overheating problem and the charger would not shut down on the old version. In this new version it did. This was great news! It worked as advertised. My phone didn't need to shut down when it got hot. The charger did. I turned on A/C and opened windows and within 5 minutes it was up and charging again. The think the aluminum clamping arms dissipated the heat fast. It occurred while running Google Maps for more than an hour on warm 80 - 90 degree days here in Oregon because I don't turn on my A/C until it hit's 90's. I initially thought my DC adaptor was too strong but tried a lower wattage unit and the over heating problem and shutting down persisted. I then ran Maps in the Dark Mode and the problem went away. I surmised my Google Pixel 6A Pro was draining the battery too fast and required constant charging to keep up, which overheated it. An update to Maps has also helped reduce the power consumption although dark mode is really the solution. I can charge off and on for 5-6 hours with maps running and I still have around 75-85% battery left by the end of the day. I'm glad I gave them another chance because this mount has higher quality made arms and motor gears than other brands I've tried. The new customer service representative emailed and responded to me multiple times after receiving the replacement to check on it's status. I would and have recommended this charger. Old review: Stopped working 11 days out of warranty and there is no way to reach the seller. Beware of products with a short warranty period. I wanted to love this product because it was made with aluminum arms and had a stronger mount. I have tried 4 other brands and they all broke within 6 months. This cost more but just lasted 3 months. Pros: the arms opened far enough to grab my Pixel 6 pro and charged through an Otter box defender case. Made with aluminum arms and had a stronger mount. Cons: The issues it had were in the charging elements. It was supposed to have an over heat shut off sensor that never worked. Before I bought it I messaged the seller and they assured me it would shut off when hot. It caused my phone to over heat and luckily my phone would shut itself off. I hope it didn't damage the battery. I read the manufactures description and it said: "When your phone is fully charged, the wireless car phone charger will automatically power off and protect the battery of your phone" It never did. That's what happened the day it finally stopped working. I was running Google maps for about an hour on a road trip. When my phone notified me that it was too hot and shutting down I tried to remove my phone so it could cool off but the charger arms would not open and it never worked since. There doesn't seem to be any way to reset it ether. In the detailed description of the holder where they suggest what to do if it's not charging your phone, it says "Preventing your phone from overheating: We suggest you close Apps to reduce power consumption and turn off phone screen during wireless charging." My question is how do you use a map if you're supposed to close all aps and turn off the screen? My other holders worked fine with Google maps running. The arms just broke and stopped opening because of the wide phone. I'm hoping the seller will see this post and contact me. I really liked it and would like a replacement. Because I'm thinking that maybe I just got a faulty one. Read more

I've tried multiple car phone mounts over the years, with and without wireless charging and automatic gripping. My first mount that gripped automatically had a button I had to press the phone against to activate. It worked okay, but was inconsistent with charging and finicky. It only lasted about 5 months before I had to get a new one. The next one used a light sensor to close the arms. That was the worst design. The sensor would activate falsely quite often when not in use, then it stopped charging half the time, so I would have to plug in my phone directly. The mount had some battery power to let me use it unplugged a couple times, but after that I'd have to switch the cord back from my phone to the mount again to get it to open. Then the retraction stopped working, and I had to close it by force. Overall it only lasted 6 months before I was ready to buy a new one, which is how I found this mount by CHGeek. I needed a mount that wouldn't break down in six months, would activate reliably, and charges consistently. After the issues with the previous mount's light sensor, I was concerned that this CHGeek mount would have similar troubles, especially since I wasn't clear on how it activates. However, it seemed to be the best option, so I crossed my fingers and tried it out. I've now had this charging mount for over a year and a half, and it's still going strong. It's easily my favorite mount, because it is super simple to use, and works reliably. The way it activates is geniusly simple – when the phone is set inside, the arms close as soon as the wireless charging kicks in, which is immediate. It charges quickly, and if someone else is driving who has a phone without wireless charging, the mount still works perfectly fine just by pressing the side button. The closing mechanism hasn't worn out, and the mount itself is sleek. It holds onto the dashboard quite well also. Although it can loosen occasionally, it's a quick fix. The rotating/tilting mechanism holds securely. The only negative thing I can really say about it is that the black finish on mine soon turned to a bronzy color on the metallic portions under UV exposure. Unexpected, but I don't think it looks bad. I often do deliveries and may use a company vehicle, or if that's not available, get reimbursed for using my vehicle. When I use my vehicle, I have no hassle getting in and out of my car with my phone and always have a full battery despite constantly using my phone for dispatching and GPS. Read more

I bought this for my son's car and it it works very well. We like how it has many options to set for height adjustment and the secure mount is holds in place very well. His car is an older vehicle so it does pick up his rough ride which is none of this devices control. Over all very reasonable price for great quality. Read more

Great all round charger. Unfortunately this one did come broken out of the box. This is the 4th one I bought as I got family a few as gifts it worked so great. Bought a new car and got a dedicated mounting system for that specific car model instead. If you can’t find one though this is a decent alternative. Downside is it does leave sticky glue residue on the dash during hot summer days and is a pain to clean. Mounting it into the air vent is probably best. Read more
