I like the diversity of provenance you’ve chosen. The Egoway surprisingly has zero Amazon reviews mentioning “fail”, “dead”, or “die”. That puts it second on my leaderboard after the Apple 140W.
That is a great point!
Thank you. I would have bought a lot of really crappy chargers if it weren't for your tireless testing. Btw, I did end up picking up the Baseus 140W and maybe it's a different batch (or the fact that it's the EU model?), but it doesn't make any noise at all. I was really surprised, especially considering the previous model had both buzzing and coil whine.
Excellent. Maybe they’ve started sticking the components down better?
never thought id subscribe to a power review and measuring channel but here we are. thanks for your anker 747 150W review. i ended up picking it up, fits my needs well. my laptop only goes up to 100W PD 3.0 (technically it supports 140W but on a proprietary setup of 20V-7A) and i like how i can charge other things on it w/o sacrificing my laptop's USB PD delivery. A lot of the other 100-140W chargers immediately drop to 65W on 2 port charging. Only a couple of them maintain 100-120W on 2+ port charging. One thing id like to mention is that the anker 747 *doesnt* have an LED light on it which can be very annoying if youre trying to sleep.
The USB PD chargers at 20V are all going to top out at 5A so 100 watts. The proprietary protocol that lets the laptop pull a little extra juice is certainly not PD compatible. I have a Dell adapter and intend to do some reverse engineering of the protocol they use to extend the power output but haven't yet. To get some power to another device you can always get a PD trigger for another port on the Anker but still 100w per port.
@@AllThingsOnePlace nah I don't need extra power. Lenovo has a 135W charger that conforms to the weird protocol but its only one port. By limiting cpu/gpu performance, turning refresh rate to 60hz, and turning off keyboard backlighting I can get the laptop battery draw down to
Thank you so much for this video. It has really helped me in my decision to by a new power adapter. Consumer guidance at is best!
Glad it helped!
“The anker 717 self destructs” never felt a statement so much as I gone through two anker 717 chargers, I gave up after the second one self destructed and got the 150W anker charger
Yeah, I have no idea what the deal is with those 717's. Well, it looks like new ones are on the way so I am assuming that will quietly get discontinued.
Thank you for the testing. The Anker new 737 power bank 27650 250W will be released in July according to their announcement. The price tag is very high ($179.99, and $219.99 with 100W wireless charging stand). But it is one of a kind product on the market so far
Is not about the wattage or how those things is charging, is the form factor especialy the thickness. The same reason i choosed the ugreen 145w over the anker 737 140w.
A good size powerful powerbank must be about the size of an iphone pro max with a little more thick, just like the ugreen 145w OR the anker 727 charging station, so people can put it in the pocket and move around with at least some comfortable.
You can’t use that way with those thicky guffy anker powerbank.
100w and 45w plus a usbA like the ugreen is fine for most device include those powerhungry one. Beyond that is just more than enough, for makerting stuff.
Those new anker powerbank is just gone wrong in form factor. Is a skip for me.
The best combo right now is ugreen 145w powerbank with anker 727 charging station. Those 2 look like just make for each other, pecfect size, ultility, look and feel, and on sale for cheap now.
@@qfnkdv4771 It really comes down to personal preference. I dislike the chunky form factor and price of the Anker 737 as well.
But the thing is Anker does support single port PD3.1 140W in and out whereas the Ugreen has PD3.0 (and no PPS) 65W / 100W respectively. Not to mention the new 737 has multiport 250W output / 170W input / 100W wireless input.
Anker has other power banks with smaller designs just like the Ugreen, but super fast charging / recharge is why the 737 stands out.
All I know is my wallet is going to get lighter, haha.
@@AllThingsOnePlaceit will be soon lighter than hydrogen atom.
@@qfnkdv4771maybe u could study cell battery. 21700 cell lithium ion vs poly battery. Poly makes battery thinner but in long terms, could cause battery swollen
By the way, Mcdodo has 140w adapter. I hope you review it too.
Mmm. The never ending. Looks like more stuff for a round 5 of 140w adapters.
AOHI is actually a new brand from China that is considered premium-priced or a premium product by its price.
mmhmm. I've looked at lots of their adapters.
Thank you very much for your effort. Is there a charger available that has a configuration of 3C1A? Based on my observation, it seems that every 140W charger is equipped with a maximum of two type-c ports and one type-a port.
Yeah, I found that very strange as well. There is one but it has no safety listing so I’m not recommending it.
CUKTECH 140W
These are literally the best videos on power adaptors. I learn something every time.
I have a PC that comes with a 127 power brick - it is a surface laptop studio.
It gives a warning if it has something less than 60W plugged in. I have a 65w adaptor from Helper's labs which can do 100W total but 65 on one port.
When I use the adaptor for a long time, the trackpad stops working correctly - it becomes less responsive and keeps losing sensitivity. When I remove the adaptor - it starts working fine again n
Do you happen to be familiar with this problem, and is there something I can do?
When it is connected to the standard power adaptor, it is OK, but on USB-C ....the trackpad is affected.
If you have some thoughts, I would be grateful.
Again - great video KI think I will be in the market for one as I want something that can do 120Wats at least...I think.
I think this is because trackpads are capacitive touch devices so AC leakage through the power adapter can effect the trackpad performance. More power adapter leakage effectively means a better connection to the mains, this sometimes translates into better efficiency too but at a price of the trackpad not working or a funny buzzy feeling on any metal cased devices that are plugged in. This is often why laptop power adapters will have an earth connection. I should get or make an AC leakage tester.
@@AllThingsOnePlace That makes total sense. Is there any way to earth a metal cased PC. I wonder what would happen if I connect a small metal clamp from the PC to the metal table leg or something - I wonder if that might work?
@@AllThingsOnePlace Thanks so much for replying - this is fascinating to me. (Closet engineer - haha)
@@iu1191 Yeah, connecting it to a ground could help. You don't want to directly connect it though, ESD straps usually have a 1 megaohm resistor in series. The table leg, even if metal, might not be grounded either so that may make things worse, that turns it into a big antennae.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Thanks. Noted. I will look for a strap with a resistor so I won;t need to connect it to anything else.
Could you test the new Baseus GaN5, 65W 100W?
A pity none of the 65W have PFC, I wanted a small one, but I think I'll go with a slightly bigger one to have the resource. Excellent content.
Yeah, I've been trying to get my hands on that one. I've had my order cancelled multiple times when I try to buy it. I have one GAN5 device which is a 67W hub / power adapter. So, I'll give that a go at some point. I want to get a few USB capable laptops to test it with first though.
Uff, what would you get to charge a MacBook Pro 16", iPhone 14 Pro, AirPods Pro and Apple Watch? And also from time to time a drone and camera batteries. I would love to get advantage of the fast charge for the Mac and iPhone and be safe from a lot of heat. I'm between the ugreen 160w, the new 150w SlimQ and the Ahoi. The Anker also looks nice, but it's harder to get here on Mexico. Thanks for your review!!!
I'll have to check out the new slimQ. The new UGREEN is surprisingly okay on leakage and features, but its inferior in terms of efficiency. It probably is the best for the multitude of devices though out of the choices.
Thank you so much! What do you think about the Nexode 140w (non pro version)? Also, are the Nexodes better than the Anker 747?It has far better opinions on Amazon than the Pro. But it just has 2 usb-c ports for 100w and 140w and I don't know if it's wise to connect a watch or AirPods often with that much wattage!@@AllThingsOnePlace
@@jaswatiI think some of the ugreen chargers (not all) lack safety ratings, so be careful on that. Hit or miss
General question about these smart chargers that can supply multiple voltages. What would happen if they were connected to a dumb device, for example, a 12v headphone amp with a USB-C to barrel adapter cable? I assume it wouldn’t know to output 12v. Would it default to 5v or potentially fry the device with 20v?
With a basic adapter it will supply 5V, nothing more. You can get a USB PD trigger board to ask for 12V though. Beware some power adapters won't do 12V though.
probally a bit too early but do you have any plan to do a Review for
Baseus 160w
And ugreen 140w power station ( not really sure how to say em in english)
I have the UGREEN 140W power bank, not sure about a power station. Baseus, I haven't even seen yet. But yeah, I'm sure eventually they'll all make it as long as they keep selling them.
HI, I watched over 7 videos and you are doing a great job! I am struggling to understand some of the information because English isn't my first language. I am using google translate and the translation is out of context and it's not helpful. Could you please help me choosing the best 100w charger that supports android and ios fast charging? Price isn't an issue for me I care about the quality the most. I would be very grateful if you help me and thank you so much.
Android and iOS don't particularly support or not support anything. The manufacturer decides what protocol to include in the device. The Samsung devices tend to be PPS with a lower voltage and higher current, where-as the apple devices tend to be PD with a fixed voltage and lower current. So, nearly all USB PD chargers are compatible with apple devices. The more difficult ones to find are devices to successfully charge Samsung. For either of them you don't need 100 watts but if you want to charge both you might need more watts. The key words to look for are PPS or Programmable Power Supply mode for Samsung devices with 11V and 5 amps of current and PD or Power Delivery with 9V for apple devices.
Good day! May I kindly ask you to clarify some basic things?
For example: someone needs to buy USB power adapter to charge some devices with 5V. Someone wants to spend money wisely - thus, main goal is to minimize possible damage to devices with improper power supply. Which are 3 (or 5 or maybe only one) characteristics of power adapter should be taken into account?
Thank you
One is the requirements of the device you are charging, this is multi faceted: Power, protocol, volts, and amps can all come into play. The next is efficiency of the adapter, pqs is one way to look at that. Then the form factor or size of the adapter. The last two fall on opinion, some people say I only use it when traveling so I don't care about efficiency, just size.
Thank you for your reply. Let me just go further. Let’s assume that Adapter satisfies Device the best way - protocols are suitable. The manufacturer of Adapter creates good quality product - voltage tolerance is according to USB standards. Adapter has also built-in safety, which prevents overcurrent/overheating. Device is just regular electronics like smartphone/tablet. The goal is - charging Device with best possible quality of power.
So, my question is about output ripple and noise level. Please correct me if I’m wrong - USB standards don’t specify ripple/noise level at all. Also such characteristics are not published by manufactures. How do you think, what ripple
oise level is acceptable in this case? As you know - there are plenty of adapters with ripple below 50mV. There is also huge amount of such, which produce >500mV.
Considering PQS: am I correct saying that regular user has no possibility to calculate it due to the lack of measurement equipment? I also haven’t seen any adapter with stated PQS.
Thanks
@@AllThingsOnePlace
@@karlmarks9885 Yeah, ripple is more complicated to measure and is also an important figure. I have been working on how to work that into the videos as well. It is true that the user won't know this information easily. The PQS is basically non-existent in terms of size of market so yeah you won't find it anywhere yet.
hi, love your reviews, is i possible for you to also include a temp test in your reviews? I bought my AOHi 140W after watching your review, and I tested it after watching Chargerlab's review and I am concerned about how hot this charger gets. Like what Chargerlab found and I have confirmed, this charger gets waaaaaaayyyyyy too hot, 70+C, not sure how long it will last being able to get that hot. In comparison, my Anker Prime 240W and SlimQ 150W only gets to about 50ishC while charging at near 140W PD 3.1....I do like the size of the AOHi and it feels solid, but due to the high temp, I cannot recommend taking it with you while traveling as you have to wait for it to cool down before putting it back into your laptop bag. It did maintain consistent output while charging my Anker Prime 27,650mAh battery bank from 15% to full, but it gets so hot, so so so hot, and we all know that heat is the #1 killer of electronics so be warned. Anyway, would be awesome if you can start including a temp section in your reviews!
Yeah, it won't last. None of these will last really. They aren't made to last. The rocoren I often use is also in that boat. 70+C, it's still working for now, but I expect it will fail eventually. I do include a temperature section in the newer reviews. Check out the The Ugreen 160W or the Satechi 145W travel, or the Anker 240W video.
Hey man I know you may get that a lot these kind of questions but what is the best 100 w or 108 desktop charger that doesn't heat and very safe
Heat is always a tough one because they make them so small they get warm as a side effect. Most I’ve looked at don’t overheat but they do get quite warm. The Belkin 108w stayed fairly cool. The baseus 100w multi port options have been my go to though.
I am not good at technical analysis but do aohi 140w good or have minor flaws to be sum up? Currrently consider aohi 140 vs anker 100w 737 charger
Just for modern performance I’d probably pick the anker. The aohi is probably not the best choice at this power level. I’ve tested so many 140w adapters not sure which is the best at this point. I still use the rocoren 140w.
Are you still planning on doing a video on the Dewalt battery as a power bank?
Yes. So, far behind on somethings.
Recently I found 'Toocki' brand, which makes whole power supplies. Even 67W model got KC certificate(As a Korean It is a kind serious deal), And they even got 140W chager with Watts meter. More marverlous about this charger is costs around 25$. Holy! I just got ordered, hope not gonna blew up.
Yeah, I have a note to check out that brands power adapters.
As or right new which poweradapter has the best rating overall? just like last time Im in search of recommend power adapter. and if ask me I very likely to be able to use it in a longtime and ability of thunderbolt 4 / usbc , which I really lilm touse for all devices and all purpose.
Im very likely to need a high per output in case of charging bigger devices.
for the cables Im not sure but Im likely to buy the cables thunderbolt / usbc 4 for daily usage, and of course, is it works for multi devices.
love to see any youtber actually tries my experiences.
cos I have mi 11 ultra s8 ultra apple watch max or even anny portable or chinese fancy gadgets, who knows lol
Yeah, my current daily driver is the satechi 165w charger. 4 ports, 100w max on one port. I regularly use all four ports no problem. I almost always use regular 100w usb c to c cables or apple style cables. Since no data thunderbolt isn’t doing anything for your charging needs.
have you checked out the chargeasap zues?
I haven not but it is on the list now.
What are your thoughts on Ravpower power adapters?
I’ve tested a few they seem okay. They are generally made by another oem.
Hi Thank you for video! I have question, I am thinking using Shargeek 140W adapter for Macpro 16 M1, What is you opinion about it? Is it safe or will it affect my laptop component ? Thank you for asnwer my concern
I haven't looked at that one specifically but it looks like a clone of the better performing adapters in the 140W series so hopefully it is okay. I always look for a safety listing of some kind, and a C or US next to it. It is up to you in the end.
@@AllThingsOnePlace thank for reply, may i confirm that it safe to use with mac 16 rights?
@@iem2012han Yeah, it is a risk, a fairly small risk, in general USB devices have pretty good over current protections built in. I'd probably use a slightly more on brand myself for something as expensive as a macbook pro.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Thank you for reply! may I ask for 1 more Would Urgreen or aohi better to use as 140w adapter replace original ? May I hear from your opinion since you have perform awesome test on those item!
@@iem2012han Yeah, the aohi was okay. It does have the safety listing so I'd probably put it before the UGREEN if left to choose.
Is the MINIX NEO P140 a clone of the Invizi 140w? They are the same dimensions, port layout, and appear to handle power sharing the same way, but the MINIX is typically $30 USD less and comes with travel adapters. My only hesitation is that the performance, of lower wattage MINIX adapters was poor, so if it’s not a clone, I’d probably skip it. Specifically looking to be able to charge two laptops at 65w or I’d pickup the IDMIX which is on sale for $34, but only splits to 100w and 20w. Thanks!
Yes, they are the same device. True on the power sharing.
Can you do the insignia 45w brick? Best Buy had it for 14 bucks and am curious what those numbers look like
Wow yeah that’s a good price. I probably won’t make a video for a long time at least. But we can infer the performance from the other insignia adapters. For $14 it’s going to be fine.
@@AllThingsOnePlace the insignia 140w piece you had in your review seemed to be decent. Hopefully that is consistent across their boards product line lol 😅
8:51 IDMIX 140W adapter is down to $48 with the coupon. Looks like a no brainer now. (I tried to paste your referral link I got from the other video that has IDMIX but UA-cam keeps deleting it).
Yeah. Some of those links break especially if they make a small product change. That is a reasonable price though.
The one thing that annoys me about the aohi that prevents me from getting it is that you can't draw 100W from a usb c port and power from thr other c port, only the a port. Otherwise the power drops to 65W or you'd have to use the A port. I see the A port as a nice tot have. But I want to be able to charge my phone and laptop off the usb c ports, at 100w and 25w. I'm trying to get away from usb A so I dont want to carry around a cable specifically for that A port.
Which is a real shame, I loved their 30w mini magcube! It had PPS, let me super fast charge my samsung, and was the same size as Apple's 5W charging brick! I since started using a baseus battery-wallcharger combo (turns out more ports and a built in battery is more useful more often than the most compact design possible), but it has occasional issues with not starting charging or not doing the full super fast charging or being iffy when using more than one port. The Aohi worked 100% of the time, I can't remeber if the one thing I had trouble with or not was a usb c soldering iron, though I wouldnt be surprised if that wasn't their fault.
Thanks for sharing. I don't understand why they borked the power sharing so bad on these 140W adapters. Some do a little better but still, not great. I agree on the mini magcube.
Should I go with the Aohi or the ugreen 140w?
Between those two, UGREEN wins for me.
You can try TechnoAmp brand chargers for throttle benchmark❤
Thanks.
I mean, now that the Egoway is currently on sale in Black for $34.99 the value is kind of absurd in comparison to a lot of the competition.
Yeah, wow.
Egoway and Costway share something in common, both make something in common, ahhhh resistance, feel the warmth! Now that can't be real carbon fiber on the Yellow Magcube, that would drive the cost way up. Insignia made their adapter white, so as to make Apple users feel comfortable, with hooking up their Mac's to it. Invzi says, I wanted a carbon fiber body sticker making me look sexy, so as to keep your mind off the fact, that I have no DO6 certification. Good to know that we can take sexy international. Well, the DongWong makes you want to use protection before you plug it in! If Anker continues going the direction that they have been, their 200 - 240 watt future adapters, will continue to suck power out of your wall, to deliver you a nice looking power bill. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the power adapter.
Thanks as always. Got a couple good laughs out of your comment. They are different, mostly in subtle ways on this round, except that egoway, that has the ego but it's way off.
I'm trying to keep up with the market on these things. Just one category, and there are already more options out there, ha.
Well the insigna has to compete with the anker on a retail shelf as well😅
True.
And apparently now Iniu. Once they get around to listing it on Best Buy
Time to test voltme!
A short at least. The 140W voltme is a clone.
@@AllThingsOnePlace shorts are fine. Voltme is so cheap at this point, if they are acceptable, they are such easy pickups
How can I trust PQS? The Egoway has the highest score, but was the worst performer out of the four.
That is why power consumption is important too. In this case the pfc is on all the time so it essentially wastes energy to get better pqs. This is why the tables always show both values. I guess could combine them or weight the pure power quality number by the raw power usage somehow. That is more difficult than it sounds. But any single number metric will always be flawed. Pqs suffers from focus on the quality, the ego way does have very good quality across the board. In any case anything 150 and up is very good.
The rocoren 140w is still better than aohi 140w, my opinion,and shargre 140 is better than aohi
Yeah, it seems that way.
Is shargeek 140 better than aohi 140? I saw review that shargeek 140 has a bad sine wave?
