Customer Reviews for Belkin - Refurbished Excellent - PowerHouse Charging Dock for iPhone and Apple Watch - White

Thanks Belkin for this new PowerHouse dock for charging both my Apple Watch and iPhone that includes one AC cable for charging both without having to use the cables that came with my devices. I was getting so fed up with having to use two cords/plugins to charge my phone and watch. This is more affordable than the Valet, charges both devices quickly, sturdy base and has a small footprint and looks nice. I also like that you can raise or lower the lightning connector based on your case. I am more than satisfied with my purchase.

A small light around the lightning port = 5 stars

This is a great dock. If Best Buy would allow half star ratings, I would give it 4.5 stars instead of 4. I think the only thing that would make this a 5 star dock is if there was a little LED light around the lightning port. This would allow easy phone plugging in the dark. And, the light wouldn't be a bother b/c once you plug the phone in, either the light is covered by the phone or Belkin could make it so the light turns off.
At first, I thought the design would prevent charging the Apple Watch in nightstand mode but, as you can see from my pictures, this is not true. You can charge the Watch in either orientation.
Another nice feature is the adjustable lightning port, to take into account varying sizes and shapes of cases you may have on your iPhone. You turn a dial on the back of the dock to either raise or lower the lightning connector which, in turns, adjusts the positioning so you can plug the iPhone in even if there is a case on it.

Very cool and quality product!

This is a must have item for anyone with an Apple watch and an iPhone! First of all...let me comment about the quality of this item. When it arrived...at first I thought I was sent the wrong item. The box was way to heavy for a simple little phone dock. But I opened up the box...and it was the right product! This thing has some very nice weight to it (just over a pond to be exact) It is very solid and sturdy and obviously a well made product.
I had owned something similar from another companty. It was very lightweight, and you had to use the charging disc that came with the apple watch and the lightning cable that came with the iPhone and thread them through all these places and it was still a big mess with cords everywhere. This one is simple, sleek, and works perfectly. The best part is...only one cable, and you don't need to use your lightning cable or the charging puck for your apple watch so you can bring them to your office or wherever as a spare.
As far as the functionality goes...it works exactly as you'd expect it to. Just put your phone on it and your watch on it and it will have them charged in no time! The lightning cable at the bottom is even height adjustable so it will still work even if your phone is in a case. As an added bonus...I also have an iPad Pro..and I am able to set that on the charger and that works as well!
I would highly recommend this to anyone with an iPhone and a Apple watch!

Sleek very well built charger

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Belkin power house - Love the small footprint, yet perfectly charges my favorite iPhone 6s and Apple Watch LTE at the same time. I use Belkin Qi to charge my iPhone X.
Belkin thanks for making high quality products like Apple products!
You can easily adjust the lightning cable to accommodate whatever case you have on your iPhone. It has nice rubber finish at the bottom means no slip or slide.
I find the easiest way for horizontal is to drape the short end of the watch band over the part of the stand that is slanted back! It will enable night stand mode!
The best part is, only ONE cable, no need to use your lightning cable or charger cable for your Apple Watch, so adding spare cables for office! I even tried my iPad 12.9 pro and worked well while FaceTiming, that can tell how sturdy the base is! I’m surprised this isn’t officially supported!!
My only wish if there was a tiny light close to the lightning as it’s a struggle to dock the phone sometimes in the “dark”!
I would highly recommend this to anyone with iPhone and Apple Watch! Love it!

Do not purchase this item, it does not work. It will constantly disconnect when attempting to charge your phone, works fine on the watch portion.

Great product - A bit on the pricy side...

I love that there is one AC cord, which helps when travelling abroad - However, I felt like this product was a bit pricier than it should have been. Great product to use thought!!
