Great charger with a minor design issues
on May 4, 2021

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have four other wireless charging solutions at my house and office. Two are stands, one is a pad, and one is an official MagSafe charger. I'm comparing my experience to those.
Things I love:
- The unit feels high quality. The plastic has a good texture to it, the cables are Belkin quality, and the added cable management strap is a bonus
- It's fast. The magnet locks on and stays in place. Connected to a 30W USB-C wall adapter, it seems to charge my iPhone 12 quickly
- It works as advertised. It's easy to pick up the phone with the charger attached and kept doing what you had set out to do.

Things I don't love
- The packaging. It feels out of character for Belkin, but the unit seemed haphazardly crammed in the box and not representative of what I'm accustomed to.
- The shape of the charging head. It attaches strongly and stays in place well. BUT the very curves and rubber footing that make it easy to hold also make it seem less stable flat on my desk. I'd trade a little bit of handheld comfort for a flusher feel when it's lying down.

Overall
Great unit. Exceptional performance for wireless charging. And a really nice build.

Easy as pie

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first time I’ve had a good experience with wireless chargers. This wireless charging puck clicks into place with ease, no longer do I have to worry about aligning my phone properly on a pad to get it to work. The charger freely rotates once on the phone, making it easy to use it while charging. If you are familiar with an Apple Watch charger, this works the same way, it has magnets in it that lets it click into place easy. One thing to note, is it doesn’t come with a charging brick, you need a usb c one to charge it. I just used the one that came with one of my other Apple devices. I was able to charge it with a MagSafe compatible Apple leather case on my phone, and it left no marks on the case afterwards. I’d recommend this for people who want to be able charge their phone without have to plug it into a cord. Oh, and it comes with a 6.6 foot cord, so you can plug it in to the wall, and have plenty of leeway on where to put your phone.

Why would you buy this?

You don’t need this. It’s not as fast as real MagSafe. It’s also not as fast as the usb-c to lighting cable that comes with your phone. Save your $$$$&
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice Cord and Style
on May 6, 2021
Posted by: blfinche
from Atlanta, GA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the long cord and it is super flexible. It comes with a nice cable wrap. The only thing I don't like is the charge rate on my iphone. It is less than 1 amp and my Mac charges at over an amp. Not sure why it it so low.

Small and yet too Big
on May 7, 2021
Posted by: mickeyg
from Bergenfield, NJ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the base, it's nice and small, but the wire is so long and bulky. And the power delivery requirements of 20W when it only delivers 7.5W, what's up with that? Otherwise, it does charge through my phone's case, and does what it is meant to do.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great charger with a long cord!
on May 7, 2021
Posted by: SoonerNick
from Stillwater, OK
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this charger overall. It's longer than a standard charger and works well with my iPhone 12 Pro Max, even through the case. I've been using it with the Apple 20W USB-C charger and it charges my phones quickly via MagSafe. This charger is great to use on the sofa or in other casual settings where you need to be charging and also able to use the phone at the same time.

Better than my OEM cable
on May 7, 2021
Posted by: _Richard_
from Atlanta, GA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's great that this cable is much longer than my OEM cable. This magnetic charging pad provides a fast and seamless charge for my iPhone 12 Pro Max. The magnet creates a perfect alignment to ensure I get the full 7.5 watts of charging power, while being strong enough to stay connected to my phone while I use it. I also like the rubber strap that keeps the cable organized when not in use.

Verified Purchase:Yes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I prefer using MagSafe chargers as they are easy to connect and are not putting too much stress on my lightning port. And I really like how affordable these are.
