- -updates- I and many other noticed a slight hissing noise from the 30W when is not under load. This may be bothersome for some so considering the small price difference I suggest choosing the 45W over the 30W
The New IKEA SJÖSS USB-C chargers lineup just came out, they start at just 6€ for the 30W single port model and go up to 10€ for the 45W dual port. Inside they have all the safety features you'd expect, with the 45W model also having additional heatsinking.
On the 30W the main switching IC is labeled KP2202SSG AQ8JR2.1 while the USB-C controller is labeled SW2303.
More details regarding the 45W model will follow.

I just got a 45W for $15 in the US. Love the dual port setup. It charges my iPhone 13 Pro Max and M1 MacBook Air without any issues. It doesn't over heat and feels heavy and premium. Apple's own dual port charger costs $60. What a bargain.
Great video! Ikea electronics never fail to impress. Just got myself the 45W charger as well. Really a bargain and you can be sure it won’t burn down your house :D
Never trust a brand too much. Some Ikea electronics have been pulled out of market because of safety issues. It happens to all companies sometimes. More to unknown brands ofc. That's why they remain unknown.
@@McSlobothe charger that was pulled form the market was sound, it was just the cable that COULD potentially get dangerous when worn out… ikea makes sound electronics
Great video, thanks for the information! No one else has gone in depth such as this.
We are waiting for part 2! :)
Thank you so much. I was in between this or buying Anker and had doubts about build quality. But this looks very good especially considering the price!
Yeah, unless you go for Apple or brands like that you’re better off with this one, similar quality at a much lower price
Anker is as good as Apple and in my opinion better. Having tried many models of Anker chargers they dont disappoint. Though these ikea chargers look better than Chinese replica ones 😂
For what you pay really worth it
@@arturgjoni8881\The charger wasn't yet in stock so I ordered an Anker 65w charger for €23. I'll get the IKEA charger later as a lower capacity secondary. Needed something as permanent power supply for my Steam Deck, so I think going for Anker is a good choice. With it being made for 65w I won't be having overheating issues as Steam Deck takes 45w when charging and running games.
I have the dual type c version to charge my iPad Pro and iPhone 15 pro max using MagSafe
Can’t seem to see this on the uk website, and do not really want to travel 30 miles on a while goose chase. Does anyone know if these are available in the uk. Thank you.
Sometimes they’re available in store before they show up online, but maybe the UK plug model is still in production
UK version is finally available for ten quid, highly recommend
Does your charger (the 30W one) also make a little buzzing sound when plugged and in use? Is it normal?
Yes it does, it should be normal based on the switching frequency that they are using. Sadly I do agree that the noise is rather annoying if you have it near you
@@FrancescoF And what about the 45w one? Is it quiet? The charger would be plugged like in 40cm from my pillow, so I wounder if it's better to pay 5e more even if I don't need 45w for my phone
@@brnerproduction4739 yes, in my testing it’s quiet
@@FrancescoF Thank you!
@@brnerproduction4739you should move that charger farther away from your head while its under load. I believe a proper EMI measurement could prove that it has a strong field on such close distance. While scientists debate whether it has an effect on health or not, everyone only has 1 life, and cancer sucks. So its not a big price to pay if I move everything electricity-related farther away from my head&body while sleeping. The same applies to laptops: their battery, when under dischardge or charge, also has a stron electromagnetic field. Wouldnt put them in my lap, where the reproductive organs are. Not a big sacrifice, if put on a tray, or table instead.
My MacBook Pro is apparently pulling 54W from the 45W charger.
If you are measuring it from the wall you also need to add efficiency losses in power conversion, it’s normal that under full load a 45W power supply would pull more than 45W from the wall. That 45W is referenced to the output not the input
Hi, I just bought one of the 30W ones. Works great, but it gives off a buzzing sound when no device is connected to it. It's not a loud sound, but definitely noticeable, especially in a semi quiet room. Do you think this could be a malfunction/not safe? Should I ask for a replacement?
Great video btw, waiting for part 2 👍
I saw the same later on mine. It’s not broken but unfortunately the way it behaves when it’s not under load. The 45W is dead quiet
I have the same problem with my 20W Anker charger.
@@FrancescoF Thanks for the answer! Glad to know it's not dangerous!
I am a bit hesitating about Sjöss, because it has maximum operating temperature just 35°C. I might be sometimes close to the limit during summer. Not sure how much should I care about that.
That number is for meeting the reliability standards, I’m sure it will work at higher temperatures too, especially with a reduced load. (Like 20W on the 45W unit)
Stickers? So if you have more than one in your office you can colour code which one belongs to you...
There used to be stickers for marking which charger went to which device, the same thing usb-c should solve
1. Thanks the video.
2. Use this product on your hands, it's really good. LA ROCHE-POSAY Cicaplast Mains
Which one would you say is better for charging a laptop?
The dual port model is the best choice for a small laptop
Interesting video. But please buy some hand cream, it hurts me to look at those cracks 😆
Sorry… I do use it (and tried many brands) but none really helps all that much
@@FrancescoF you skin looks sick! It's maybe metal allergy! You should check it out!
@@FrancescoF Next time you go shopping buy O'Keeffe working hands jar. I can almost guarantee you won't regret it.
@@Top1n1 I did get some last time I was in the US (and while not perfect it did work) but sadly it’s not available where I live
they sell it in the UK so they may sell it in Ireland, from which you may be able to import it
For the sake of it use a freaking moisturizer
£10 in the UK. Good deal!
