Ideal for showing what your USB-C devices or chargers are using.

If you want to find out what your USB-C devices are drawing, this is by far the best USB-C power meter I've used. It's capable of providing accurate PD readings BOTH ways (the charger end goes through the device or the device is plugged into the USB-C host port to see what it's drawing), the is great. It also receives power from the line. . This means some of the current is being used, which can skew the reading, but this is almost negligible for the average person who only wants to see the numbers to the left of the decimal anyway. I haven't delved too deeply into calculating actual losses as it seems pretty efficient. Here's what it looks like: some plastic parts screwed onto the motherboard and a plastic support structure holding it all together, along with some brass parts. Once I had unscrewed one of the bolts, all I have to do is check them from time to time or elbows. It comes in a nice case that doesn't add too much to its size. You need to keep it in it every time you take it somewhere. I would prefer if they find a way to add a cap or something in the future. The device itself is solid enough, but the protruding USB-C connector can be adjusted fairly easily. As I moved on to testing other USB-C multiport hardware, I expanded on a few of them and didn't have any issues with any of them. out of them. If this changes, I will update this review immediately. If you found my review helpful, thank you. If not, please let me know in the comments so we can change it. Thanks for reading Chris
