Perfect for my bedside table and perfect for fast charging iPad Pro + iPhone

I use this as a power hub for my bedside table. I don't even need outlets for the power cord as the USB ports are enough to charge an (old) iPhone and two iPads (one old, one new), but it's nice to be able to expand it. I hear well and haven't noticed any high frequency howling or buzzing, which is important since I sleep next to each other. I love that the power cord is grounded, but keep that in mind if you have very old outlets that don't have room for a third prong. The USB-C port is perfect for my iPad Pro (2018) as from what I've read it can draw up to 45W when fast charging via USB-PD and this charger has enough power to draw that much too can do as he pleases. This also frees the 18W charger that comes with the iPad for use with an iPhone (8 or later) that supports USB PD charging, as the iPhone will not draw more than 18W. if you have a new iPad Pro and an iPhone 8 or newer and want to charge both quickly. For the price of this power hub and Lightning to USB-C cable, you can. Plug your iPad into a USB-C port on a power hub and connect your iPhone to the 18W charger that came with your iPad (using a Lightning cable) and now both devices can when needed draw their full potential from the same outlet. bulky and the cable is thick, which is perfect for my purposes, but doesn't seem suitable for travel, at least not in the carry-on/carry-on sense. However, if I was traveling in a group or with my family, I'd probably take it with me anyway, simply because airports and hotels are short of outlets and this one box can charge a whole bunch of devices at once at full power. Having this with you during a long stay will make you a hero to everyone around you.
