I have gone through quite a few car chargers over the course of time. Some lasted a few months, and others a couple of years. Eventually they all fail and must be replaced. It's easy to determine the failure point when the device being charged is no longer receiving a charge. I selected this particular compact car charger with a retractable cord by LISEN. My first impressions were that it is very compact for the type of car charger it is. Any car charger that offers retractable cords will have some bulk in order to store the internal cord with a push/pull type of pulley. I found this model to be just what I was looking for. It also comes with a USB A and USB C port to charge other phones. You must keep in mind that when charging more than one device, charging times will be extended. As you can see in the pictures, I use the retractable car charger to charge my iPad Air 5th Gen, however, I use a "right angled" adapter to keep the cable facing down therefore preventing accidental breakage. If not, the cable will stick out too far out horizontally and cause issues. This is an option on your part depending on your application. Charging times are fast and my iPad stays charged consistently for I am streaming non-stop up to 6 hours at a time. The build quality of this car charger appears to be very good and well designed. A blue light turns on indicating a successful charge. Always be cognizant that this light must remain blue. The cord length is just right and serves my purpose. I like that you can adjust the position of the car charger up or down depending on how you need it. In summary, the part that I feel will eventually go out will be the retractable mechanism that pulls the cord back into the charger. As for now, it's doing a great job, and if I can get 1-2 years of uninterrupted service from this unit, I will be happy. This is definitely a value added purchase that I recommend. Read more
This charger works exactly as advertised. It charges my iPhone 17 Pro Max quickly and consistently without overheating. The design is compact and clean, making it easy to carry around or keep on my nightstand without clutter. Build quality feels solid, and the cord connection is firm – no wobbling or loose fit like some cheap chargers. I’ve tried a few different brands, and this one definitely stands out for reliability and speed. Great value for the price. Read more
Easy to use and durable rapid charger. This is a very rapid charger you will be very pleased with it. I love the retractable cord and the other plug-in options it's very functional and fits most vehicles that have the 12 volt plug in. Read more
This turned out to be a highly robust and secure car mount for MagSafe wireless equipped iPhones, in my case a rather heavy IPhone 15 pro Max. Attaches securely into your cars ac vents, the phone sticks very securely so you have confidence that the phone won’t jump from the charger even with the most jerky road hazards! Recharges phone quite quickly too, so definitely a ‘fast charger’. Recommended! Read more
I've had it for a few months and it works as it should. Charges fast, I like that I don't need an extra cable for my phone, but my kid's phone that still uses lightnening can charge there too with added cable. Design is great, I like that it can be adjusted so it fits in my small console. I always have it charging on the console too, so the cord works - I haven't tried having it too far away, I don't even know how far the cord goes... but great quality. Read more
This product works really well and so easy to use in the car. It holds up well and the retrackable cord is great. The money for it was worth it. Easy to charge my phone and works quickly. Read more
I recently picked up this charger and I'm impressed. I started at ~60% battery at 09:38, plugged in the new charger, and by 09:53 | was already at ~75%. That's a 15% jump in just 15 minutes — exactly the kind of speed you expect from a good "fast-charge" unit. What I liked: • Fast charge performance: The charger delivered a real speed boost right off the bat. • Reliable during short bursts: Since I often plug in for just a short drive or quick stop, this charger is perfect for that scenario. • Peace of mind: Knowing I won't arrive somewhere with a low battery — this helps when you're on the go. What to keep in mind: • Heat / device support: As with all fast charging, your phone and charger need to support the faster p. * col (e.g., high wattage or "fast-charge enabled") and the device may get a little warm. • Expect diminishing returns: The fastest charging usually happens when you're further from full; as you approach 100% the rate slows. WIRED +1 • Not a full charge replacement: While 15 minutes got me from 60% to 75%, you still have 25% left — for a full charge you'll still need more time. Overall: If you're looking for a charger that gives you a meaningful battery boost in a quick turnaround — whether you're heading out, jumping in the car, or prepping for the day — this one definitely delivers. I'd give it a strong recommendation for speed-hungry, on-the-go use. Read more
