Buzz

I did hear a buzz from the device, even when it's not charging a phone, is this normal?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Burning smell

Started out great but after a while mine started having a terrible burning rubber smell. When I went to unplug the power bug was really hot. This is going to in the garbage. Don’t want my house to burn down. I cannot recommend.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Does not hold my phone out

I received the power bug as part of a BREO subscription box. The magnet is not strong enough to hold up my iPhone 11. Real bummer because this is one of the items I was looking forward to receiving in the box.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works well! I just leave it in my garage above the workbench. Holds the phone and shows the time in standby mode.
