Got this for the Switch

We drove 4000 miles on vacation this summer so my son had to get his Switch up and running within the 7 hour drive to the lake house. 12W with A-to-C cable just can't keep up with the Live Switch, but 18W USB-C keeps it gaming and charging for a bit. A PD port is a good value (everything else in the car is USB-A).

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Almost OK

Pixel 3 XL charges fast!

This thing charges Google Pixel 3 XL fast. I can see the "Fast Charge" indicator on my device when connected to this charger, confirming that it supports power delivery. Just what I need to quickly charge my Pixel device in the car. Great charger at an affordable price and with the usual Revain Basics quality. Another winner from Revain Basics.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Secret

Do not buy this phone charger

Don't waste your time and money buying this phone charger. The USB plug's plastic casing broke after 2 days, it doesn't fit properly in the phone's charging port, constantly loses connection, it takes several hours to charge even when it maintains a connection. just badly done. It really wasn't worth sending back. I had to purchase a 10 foot braided cable to replace the original. This item is not worth getting upset about!

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Interchangeable

Quickly charges my Samsung Note 9 perfectly

I like this product a lot. It charges my Samsung Note 9 quickly and the charger never gets hotter than warm. The included 3-foot USB-C cable is thin enough to be highly flexible yet durable. I previously purchased a separate USB-C charger that did not include a USB-C cable and a USB-IF certified GEN 2 USB-C 3.1 cable. The USB-C 3.1 cable was great for Data/video, but it was too thick and not very flexible for everyday use as a car charger.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Misleading quality of accessory

While this cheap car charger appears to be reliable and charges, it charges no faster than any other traditional charger. The claim that it loads 4 times faster than others is a false claim. Don't be fooled into thinking this is a fast charger, it isn't. The two types of ports are handy, and it has a small light to indicate it's on, which is nice, but it wasn't enough to make up for the fact that it doesn't do what it does compared to the competition promises to do . I'm usually quite happy…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Works most of the time

When this charger works it works great it charges my galaxy fast. But many times I had to take it out and plug it back in, or when it was slowly charging my phone for no reason. Not sure why I'm having intermittent issues with this but I've tried this charger on 3 cars already and it does the same thing in different cars. It's quite frustrating to plug the phone in, say it's charging, and then after a 45 minute ride my phone only takes a 2% battery charge. I've also tried this with 3 phones and

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Some flaws
