Works well but really stinks

This cable works great and is great value for money. However, it stinks a lot. The stench is some kind of chlorine compound. It's really insulting. I had to stop using it and put it in an unfinished part of my basement hoping the smell would go away after a few weeks.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Unbearable stench for computers and accessories

The price is great, it charges quickly, but the smell of chemicals is unbearable! I left it outside to air out for a week and it still stinks. The smell makes it almost unusable. I've used it less than a dozen times and one of the connections broke. Extremely bad quality. Do not buy!

Pros
  • The best
Cons
  • For pensioners

DO NOT BUY, THEY GIVE STRONG CHEMICAL ODOR

I know it's cheap but Revain need to change supplier of this cable, it has a very strong chemical odour. As soon as you open the box, it hits you in the face and keeps smelling. I'm sending it back and paying a little more for a better cable.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Not sure

Toxic exhaust smell that lasts for days before I send it back!

Not sure how this can even have an average rating of 3+ at the time of writing this review. It smells absolutely toxic and lingers for a few days after I open it and put it in the garage. I made the mistake of looking at the overall rating without reading all the negative reviews about the scent, but my goodness! I'll return them as soon as possible.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not the best

Plug larger/thicker than OEM - may not fit

Please note that the plug is larger/thicker than the end plug of Apple's original USB-C charging cable. This may not matter in most situations, but I've found that the cable doesn't go through the hole in the keyboard case that holds the iPad Air 2. I think I can either blame the keyboard/case for being too small or this cable too big. I decided to take the last option.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not all will fit

Cable works great - Cable doesn't have a weird smell

I had to leave a review when I saw a bunch of people leaving bad reviews because it "smells". How should the cable smell? smells like string. rubber cord. At first it smelled like "new" cord, now nothing. I just couldn't believe seeing 1 star reviews for a great cable because people didn't like the smell - it's a cable and it works fantastic - so I had to give a review even though I don't usually do it.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • A few minor things

Works great with my Macbook Air

I'm not comfortable with these cables. I've never had one of these stop working by accident, but I accidentally trip over the cable and it bends a bit, so I prefer to keep extra devices. I like these because they're shorter, so I usually just plug them in to charge and don't usually use them while they're plugged in so I can't trip over the cord. They work just like the one that came with my Macbook Air. It's about 3 feet, so they're good if you don't want a lot of extra cord. You need your own

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
