I really love how it pulls all my devices in to one tidy little spot! No more cords! I like the wood look, very modern, but has a bit more of a red tone to it that I thought it would, but I still like it. The base has a thin illuminated ring that glows green when it is not charging and 'breathes' blue when it is charging. TIP: If you have AirPods 2nd Gen Model A1602 (go to settings, bluetooth, AirPods for the model #), they will NOT charge on this charger. The enclosed documentation does stat this but it is super tiny print, and how many of us actually read those inserts? Except maybe a few of us control freak types. It seems to charge a a decent rate, but it isn't lightning fast, so just be aware of that. All in all, it's a great, tidy little charger and now that I have done the trial run, I can order one for hubby too. Read more
Love this! Charges phone, ear buds & watch really fast - & all in one place with one charging cord :-) Read more
Worked well for almost 3 months. Then crapped out. Doesn’t get devices charged and won’t hold the connection to the device. All night long, I hear the beep of it connecting and then disconnecting, connecting again. Ad infinitum. Started with the phone charge pad, now does it on the watch charge pad as well. EDIT/Update: after I posted the review above, the company reached out and gave me a full refund. They have also promised to send me a replacement. I can’t ask for better customer service than that. I’ll try to follow up with review of the replacement. Read more
Update: The seller is serious about customer satisfaction. They reached out to me after I posted my review. They sent a second unit which did not give the light show the first one did. Yay! After communicating with them, this isn't *supposed* to be compared to Apple's fast-charging cable. According to them, the watch is expected to charge fully within about 3 hours. The Apple cable will do it in an hour or less. I can't remember the expected duration for charging AirPods and phone, but I charge those overnight, so it's plenty of time to fully charge those. I increased my review from three stars to four. It's still four because I expected "fast charging" to be similar to Apple's fast-charging cable. Had the listing indicated the expected charge time, I wouldn't have anything to complain about. :-) (Granted, I probably wouldn't have bought it if I knew that.) Again -- I *will* use this. It's still better than the mess of cords I had before. I *will* use this, but only when I don't need fast charging because it does not do that, despite the claims in the listing. It does charge my phone in the case, which is nice. It does charge my AirPods Pro. Unfortunately, though, I was woken up in the middle of the night by the lights flashing like it does when you first put the items on the charger, indicating whichever charging just became active. I dunno why, maybe it was "sharing" the charge between the AirPods and the phone? Once I took the fully-charged AirPods off, the flashing stopped. On the fast-charger provided by Apple, I can charge my watch from about 30% to fully-charged within an hour. On this charger, it went from 30% to maybe 75% in roughly the same amount of time. If I charged overnight, it wouldn't be a big deal, but I use the sleep functionality of my watch, so no. Plus, now I'm afraid if I did charge overnight, I'd get the light show again. Like I said, I will use this, and it's way better looking than the mess of cords I had attached to a USB hub. I just wish it fast-charged like they said. Read more
Initial impression (see edit below that explains the 5th star: I have not had this long so I will add or delete a star in the future as I see how it holds up. That said, excellent seller/manufacturer communication BEFORE I even received the charger. The unit itself is charging my iPhone SE2, Apple Watch 8, and a pair of wireless earphones (Tozo T6 in their magnetic case). I can't speak to rapid charging because I'm not sure any of my devices support that, but they do seem to charge in the expected time using their own supplied charging cables. The green light only shows when you immediately place the iPhone on it to show it has connected and is charging. It turns off quickly thereafter so I see no issues with it nearby when sleeping. I will give an update after a few months of use, but looks like a winner to me at a fair price. EDIT: While my unit is no longer under warranty, I was having problems with it holding the connection with my Apple Watch and iPhone. So, I just reached out to the seller, CIYOYO Direct, to see if they might walk me through with troubleshooting. I received almost immediate response from Darcy via Amazon email system and we worked through what might be the problem. Updated IOS for both iPhone and Apple watch? Yup. No really bulky case on the iPhone? Nope. Using the original cord? Yup. Plugged into a USB outlet that works for other items? Yup. Unplugged and re-plugged to try again? Yup. While I'd bet this would work for a multitude of issues, (so I list some of them here), the seller decided to send me a replacement free of charge. Now THIS is good service! I had not expected a replacement. So, I want to thank this seller for their professionalism and add a 5th star to my review rating. I likewise hope that after relating my very positive experience, no one takes unjustified advantage of their attempt to fully stand behind their product. Needless to say, I am very pleased and will buying additional units for family members soon! Good product and good seller. Read more
