Wow, something from Baseus that broke, what a surprise (at least for me). Luckly there are people like you that do thorough testing on these devices and report on issues. It honestly would've been a lot better if they supplied USB C to barrel adapter. The overheating on the barrel adapter is the worst blunder in this device, that port should work 24x7 at max like a stock adapter would. Great review as always, it's fair and the tradeoffs are much worse than the upsides. Current leakage might make a touch screen device inoperable so it's the bare minimum!
That's why laptops come with high quality PSU that runs cooler, due to surface area. I'd never use one of these for a laptop. Give me a purpose-built PSU, that was engineered for the product.
Hello! I've been following your channel for over two years and only buy the adapters you recommend. Your incredibly detailed reviews are invaluable, without them, we’d be stuck relying on misleading marketing from manufacturers, which often leads to trouble. I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for everything you do for people like us. Please keep up the great work with your unbiased reviews. By the way, you have a wonderfully charming voice!
I keep a usb fan on my desk and point it at charging bricks, because soooo many of them get HOT. and a little air flow, goes a LONG way. In no way am I saying each device should REQUIRE that, but less heat, means things last longer. Definitely should have included a built in fan on this charger.
I'm now considering into strapping a heatsink to the large brick along with the USB fan. When it's too warm to touch makes me wonder how hot it's inside.
Hey man, I don’t usually post comments but I’d like to thank you for these wonderfully detailed reviews. I’ve had enough of the usual opinion show and tell reviews that don’t really tell you if the product is any good. Yours are very helpful in making informed buying decisions.
You're not a sucker, I appreciate your reviews... Be it, cheap or expensive chargers. Can you review the new 45w charger from Google? Thank you in advance.
This is a fair review. I think you were a bit on the nice side considering it didn’t let you complete the tests and failed. With that being said things happen. This could be a manufacturing/QC issue. I guess the only way to know is for more people to buy them and share their experiences with them. Great video!
What a nice surprise! Thank you for a very fair, unbiased evaluation, as usual. Waiting for the test results of the 200 and 250W Anker chargers before pulling the trigger.
Had two power banks from BaseUS (same model) and both of them died. Some of their chargers work flawlessly though. Mixed experience. Recently I've searched for a 200-300W PD charger and I was sceptical when I've read some stories. With my own mixed experience I've decided to go with some other brand. I don't get what's the thinking behind releasing such products. Also why they are so afraid to put a fan in such chargers? Products presentation is nice but we could also have a better design for of the internals.
The Ugreen 300W (tested by ATOP) performs really well but I'm on my third unit since there's always a USB-C port that stops working at some point. Just FYI. Shouldn't be a problem if you can easily get it replaced under warranty but it is a bit of a hassle.
I love the concept. It would be great to have just one adapter for both my laptop and USB devices. But it should never re-negotiate. BTW, keep that square laptop plug! If it is the 230W version (which has a 4.6K ohm resistor attached to the signal pin in the center) it is an extremely rare find. I really wish these companies would consider E-Paper displays on their batteries and adapters.
if it could sustain the 240W then it would be useful, for a gaming laptop for example which can't draw much more than 100W over USB-C - sadly it cant...
I was looking at your older videos for the power banks, and I was trying to get a ZMI power bank 210 watt 25,000 mah that you recommended in the power banks guide, but I am having trouble buying one in Canada. The US Amazon listing in the video description does not offer shipping to Canada. Are there any other power banks you'd recommend as strongly as the ZMI that are available in Canada? Or maybe there is some convoluted roundabout way of getting a ZMI power bank to Canada? Also, awesome video. I love your attention to detail and how much work goes into these reviews. Hands down my favourite review channel.
not a good trend on exaggerating specs and pushing devices to unreasonable limits where people are getting used to disposable products..... just reminded me, how my 7y or so old LDNIO 4 port charger still works to this day... and it costed me 6 USD.... it is not the best but i stand by the if it aint broke dont fix it
I've checked out a good handful of your reviews and recommendations. I'm looking for travel charger for phones, tablets etc for international travel by airplane. My eye fell on the Anker 543 and as someone in the comments pointed out that the ergonomics of this device are great for this purpose. It is compact, light it has a detachable cable (I hate those power sockets at airports that can handle a small charger on a travel adapter. In your review you where not very enthusiastic about this charger so I was wondering if there are some better alternatives that provide a similar package (detachable cable, small, light). I couldn't find any myself. Thanks in advance!
I really appreciate your reviews, and therefore I'd like to give two pieces of feedback: 1. I found your comment about the display reading a bit unspecific. You made it sound like it totally has zero value; "random number generator". Was it really THAT bad? How did you test it? Show some specific examples. I hope this isn't under influence of feedback that you aren't "harsh enough". Just be objective and informative, don't get drawn into subjective "name-calling". 2. I also find it strange to just skip over Bluetooth. If you want to review products that have that feature, I think you should look at that too. I don't even know what that feature brings to the table with a device like this and if it's something I'd like, but this video did zero to learn more about it.
Thank you, very valid. Excuses: For 1) yes the display showed 0 and 150 while delivering 100 watts, my wording was sort of trying to be funny, which didn't land, and yes, show it don't tell it. Hopefully, something that can be updated with firmware which leads into number 2. For 2) I need to pickup a burner device to install all these random apps on to test them. I see security concerns with installing these apps. Yes, I let the review down by skipping the BT feature. I will get a cheap tablet to be able to show the app at a minimum.
Can you do a safety check for the Slimq 240-330w charger? The DC port isn't seen anywhere else and i really like it. I'm just worry about the reliability of it.
If it's crap, just tell me it's crap. Being unable to sustain the advertised output is inarguably crap. It's very refreshing to have a reviewer be honest and direct rather than having to read between the lines and second-guess what they're saying because they're trying to stay on the good side of the companies whose products they're reviewing...
not really related to the video but: have you looked at any "smart batteries", im wondering why audio pros swear by them. usually in tandem with multiple in/out power distribution systems, maybe it's just the voltages and secure connections but seems like a huge price gap for a 1 out 98-99wh battery compared to a iniu or something like that. also wondering how efficient these power distros like audioroot or diety SPD-1
Whenever you do a power bank comparison again, can you find out what has 20,000 mah, 45w charging so it can charge a steam deck or laptop slowly, and is a reasonable size, weight, and price? The ZMI QB826G is expensive, evatronic is out of stock on the 20k mah models, and Anker is pretty expensive as well. It looks like the Anker 737 is one of the main options.
Iniu 25k? I know it's a bit larger but it's still fairly compact, price should be better. At least from what I've looked at so far. But yeah, I have a lot of power banks to get through.
Id love to see the new Google 45w charger, their 30w seemed to be a good buy and with the Samsung 45w being up there it would be nice to see a comparison
I bought a battery bank from them 3 years ago via alibaba; it only lasted 2 years and I didn't like it's issues with longevity. However their USB-C cables have been just fine for my use and the like.
Hello! Just came across your video while searching a good PD charger appreciated the effort to test the charger in detail, which charger have the lowest leakage current that you would recommend? I'm looking for a replacement for my UGreen CD226 as it gives the tingling effect when i'm using my laptop and even stings my ear when i plug in my earphones to the laptop.
Love the detailed reviews. Could you review Samsung's 45W Charger (2024) with EP-T4511XBEGWW model name? It's advertised as low standby, I wonder if it's true. Also the Nothing 45W charger and CMF (Nothing's subbrand) 65W GaN charger, I think you'll love the packaging of CMF one especially.
So I'm wondering if it's really worth it to spend 100-200 usd on a 250w range chargers? Aliexpress is full of 65W pd modules for a few bucks, wire 4 or 5 to a 300W power supply and a 3d printed case, 50$ all together, am i missing something?
There's so many things to discuss in that. Strictly financial, sure, cheaper now, do it. Is it going to work, maybe and you aren't going to like using it because 5 cheap power supplies in parallel worth of leakage current...
Hi beginner question with regards to the leaky-tingling phenomenon - is USB considered DC? Do recall experiencing it with devices charging via USB. Also can this phenomenon happen/worsen over time? Perhaps as the internal parts degrade? (i.e. brand new it doesn’t occur but starts to happen over time?) Lastly what is the worse that can happen with this? Could it eventually zap you? Much like a stinging static shock from touching metal? Thank you!
@@rokiedecentra9656 it also has "The voltage range includes a 3.3V minimum and a 21V maximum. " so... your answer doesn't clear anything, that was asked.
@@stclaws9580 not really, the original question wasn't asking about the range. It just asks whether pps is always 11v though range is probably something of interest with pps
The maximum is 11V in this case. The device asks for whatever voltage it needs though which as mentioned can be anything from 3.3V up to the maximum 21V in the USB specification, but for this adapter it tops out at 11V.
The UGREEN I have here (I think, it doesn't look all that slim). The Anker will go on the list for now, budget is blown after picking up the new chargers from them. September is going to be digging through the archives and cheap stuff.
Hi, Love your Videos! I have an idea for a video, can you please test some laptops OEM chargers to compere them to the chargers from Anker, Ugreen and other third party charger. Thanks!
In spring 2026, here in the EU, usb-c charging becomes mandatory for powering laptops, so honestly i feel like proprietary plug designs are obsolete. 👋👋☠️👎 That said... Shame on baseus for actually breaking during the test. I would ask for a replacement and re-run the tests to see if it fails again. (Just my 50cts...)
its prob a unlucky product flaw u got. or u indeed pushed it too far in that test, though at least it didnt catch fire (and it shouldnt crap itself but happens even with the best ones). baseus - its build with minimal specs with no headroom to save costs. my 65w charger still works i bought from AE for less than $15, though im now using also Amegat chargers (+ as backup & heard they are Aukey oem chargers). the 67w also gets hot (bit hotter than the baseus but its also smaller & feels somehow heavier, + more premium) but the bigger 140w gets like 15°c over room temp in my use case, but also only pullled 80-110w. i usually like baseus products, my older 22w powerbank still works, as an emergency charger in case i need to charge while on the trip. their bowie in-ear headphones feel also like good quality bit their chargers im a bit sceptical + i feel they want to be more premium and increased their prices while still being a budget brand quality wise.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Finally you saw it haha. I was about to buy but I thought I'd consult you first since your conclusions are not affected by biases. In short, you are credible. I love your contents man, very informative. Thanks.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Oh Great! I’m trying to choose between the Native Union one and the one from Journey. Apparently the Journey one uses GaN 2 technology… these things tend to confuse me! This next 140W round will be a delight! Thank you so much for your videos!
Too bad it doesn't work well. With that bluetooth feature, I hope they can upgrade it to work with an app that allows limiting the protocols and power to individual ports. I have some devices that can charge at high wattage but get a bit warmer than I'd like. My laptop can do 65w but I use a 35w ugreen with it because it keeps the laptop much, much cooler. But, this requires having a bunch of adapters at different power levels. One multiport adapter that I could limit max power output for certain devices and set the power splits would be awesome.
Yeah, it'd be very useful to be able to limit the power. For now I can only do that sometimes by using the C4 port on my UGREEN 300W because that's always limited to 45W, so not many options or very convenient. The way you're doing it also has the downside of overheating and shortening the lifespan of the charger that you'll be running at full load all the time. We'll see if the new Anker 250W is the answer.
I think it would be great if it worked. What I've seen implemented seems to work in chunks of PD negotiation probably limited by the USB chips. So, truly dynamic power distribution is going to require a new design.
I need a decent charger that can supply my ugreen revodok pro 211 dock. I need 2x usb c cables and a charger than can supply energy for the dock itself and some other acc. like smarthphone/Headset. Should i go 100w or more? Or should i completely get all ugreen products to ensure best compatibility?(160w charger + 100w cables? ) rlly stuck on this...
haha, yeah, it is certainly confusing, and not sure I can really help all the way. UGREEN cables are not a bad choice. The power adapter, the 160W Ugreen will probably be okay if only connected to the dock, don't load it more than 100 watts though as it may run into issues with overheating, but you should be able to charge anything through the dock as that will stop at 100 watts of draw from the power adapter.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Hey, i went for a Baseus 100w charger based on your other vids. Since it was on sale. It works and i don't think i notice any interferences during gaming with regards to lagg etc. You're doing awesome work man
My pick is the Satechi 165W for myself. It's not for everyone though. Quality issues, compatibility issues, etc. It works with everything I charge. The Anker 240W GanPrime (2023) is a big charger, again, people complain about some compatibility issues but in testing it did well.
@@AllThingsOnePlace i see... most manufacturers ignore the 5A standard and go for upto 7A for better efficiency for laptops (no step down needed). i once thought manafacturers could employ double type c (two type c ports on either end, and only 1 cable) for doubling the amperage hence delivering upto 200w at 20V for gaming laptops, but that never happened... So does the above solution have obvious oversights or is just too weird/ expensive to implement?
Interesting topic. For comparison, the Anker 240W is even smaller (check around the 7:00 mark) but has been designed and engineered to sustain up to a full load. The Anker is also a little heavier, even without the stand that may help it dissipate heat (as mentioned in the video). I also think the Anker has more premium components and it should have a heatsink, thermal pads, etc. One more thing is the shape of the unit. The Anker looks like it has a bigger surface area even though it's smaller than this Baseus, which would translate to better heat dissipation. Apple's 140W and Dell's 130W laptop power adapters are quite flat (similar to the Anker) to maximize the surface area and have been designed to sustain a full load as well.
@@modecir Yep anker has better heat management. I have been hooked up with this guys charger reviews since I want to have a DIY powerbank with 100w output using LiFePO4 cells with at least 430 Wh. Power interruptions are becoming more frequent in my area.
It can give 230W on the DC port. For a non-continuous load like a large desktop replacement laptop, it may work just fine as long as the average power is 120 watts or so. But for sustained full load it will likely shutdown.
I don't understand the confusing marketing claims. They tout this as being able to power hungry laptops, but it's designed never to leave the desk. If your power supply isn't designed to be portable or leave the desk, why not just use the original laptop vendor's power supply? The other confusing trend, one which Baseus in particular seems to be leading, is the power cable that *cannot* be removed from the main body of the charger. Incredibly poor design that drastically limits its use cases, such as people who travel with their laptops.
Good points. I think they may be pitching it as the one nice-looking charger that can replace all the chargers on your desktop, including your laptop's, for less clutter. That way you can also have the convenience of leaving the power supply that came with your laptop in the laptop bag, which would be a nice perk. Just guessing since manufacturers have been touting this ever since the first ≥100W multiport desktop chargers hit the market. Kind of a moot point, though, since this Baseus probably can't replace your laptop's power adapter and power other devices at the same time lol
Yeah, that's the struggle I've been seeing, from this and many other high wattage adapters on the market. They can't sustain. But also, yes, use the OEM brick. For portable get a smaller adapter has been my approach.
Wow, something from Baseus that broke, what a surprise (at least for me). Luckly there are people like you that do thorough testing on these devices and report on issues. It honestly would've been a lot better if they supplied USB C to barrel adapter. The overheating on the barrel adapter is the worst blunder in this device, that port should work 24x7 at max like a stock adapter would. Great review as always, it's fair and the tradeoffs are much worse than the upsides. Current leakage might make a touch screen device inoperable so it's the bare minimum!

Give me a purpose-built PSU, that was engineered for the product.
Yeah, I've looked at the Dell 180W brick and several others, and they stand up.

Excellent review. Not sure if a DC port is useful since there are USB-C to DC adapters for 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V and 20V that fit most devices.
if it could sustain the 240W then it would be useful, for a gaming laptop for example which can't draw much more than 100W over USB-C - sadly it cant...

The maximum is 11V in this case. The device asks for whatever voltage it needs though which as mentioned can be anything from 3.3V up to the maximum 21V in the USB specification, but for this adapter it tops out at 11V.
Nice vid mate
Thanks!
Thank you for your work
Will you be testing the ugreen 65 watt slim charger ?
Also will you testing the new anker hybrid 65 watt power bank wall brick charger?
The UGREEN I have here (I think, it doesn't look all that slim). The Anker will go on the list for now, budget is blown after picking up the new chargers from them. September is going to be digging through the archives and cheap stuff.
Hi, Love your Videos! I have an idea for a video, can you please test some laptops OEM chargers to compere them to the chargers from Anker, Ugreen and other third party charger.
Thanks!
Yeah, I have looked at several OEM chargers. I don't think I've done too many direct comparisons though.
In spring 2026, here in the EU, usb-c charging becomes mandatory for powering laptops, so honestly i feel like proprietary plug designs are obsolete. 👋👋☠️👎 That said... Shame on baseus for actually breaking during the test. I would ask for a replacement and re-run the tests to see if it fails again. (Just my 50cts...)
Thanks for the vid! Another product to avoid. Looking forward to see if the new Anker prime $80 6 port 200w charger is a good alternative.
Yeah, value wise, it's good. Performance wise... I delayed my video because everyone else's reviews are hyper positive.
its prob a unlucky product flaw u got. or u indeed pushed it too far in that test, though at least it didnt catch fire (and it shouldnt crap itself but happens even with the best ones).
baseus - its build with minimal specs with no headroom to save costs. my 65w charger still works i bought from AE for less than $15, though im now using also Amegat chargers (+ as backup & heard they are Aukey oem chargers). the 67w also gets hot (bit hotter than the baseus but its also smaller & feels somehow heavier, + more premium) but the bigger 140w gets like 15°c over room temp in my use case, but also only pullled 80-110w.
i usually like baseus products, my older 22w powerbank still works, as an emergency charger in case i need to charge while on the trip. their bowie in-ear headphones feel also like good quality bit their chargers im a bit sceptical + i feel they want to be more premium and increased their prices while still being a budget brand quality wise.
Good day sir. Please review Romoss PMT 60. It has 100w output. It is quite unique since it uses LiFePO4 battery. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the suggestion.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Finally you saw it haha. I was about to buy but I thought I'd consult you first since your conclusions are not affected by biases. In short, you are credible.
I love your contents man, very informative.
Thanks.
Will you ever review the 140W charger from Native Union?
I am working on another 140W round. Building up a few of them to do all at once.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Oh Great! I’m trying to choose between the Native Union one and the one from Journey. Apparently the Journey one uses GaN 2 technology… these things tend to confuse me! This next 140W round will be a delight! Thank you so much for your videos!
Too bad it doesn't work well. With that bluetooth feature, I hope they can upgrade it to work with an app that allows limiting the protocols and power to individual ports. I have some devices that can charge at high wattage but get a bit warmer than I'd like. My laptop can do 65w but I use a 35w ugreen with it because it keeps the laptop much, much cooler. But, this requires having a bunch of adapters at different power levels. One multiport adapter that I could limit max power output for certain devices and set the power splits would be awesome.
Yeah, it'd be very useful to be able to limit the power.
For now I can only do that sometimes by using the C4 port on my UGREEN 300W because that's always limited to 45W, so not many options or very convenient. The way you're doing it also has the downside of overheating and shortening the lifespan of the charger that you'll be running at full load all the time.
We'll see if the new Anker 250W is the answer.
What are your thoughts on dynamic power allocation?
I think it would be great if it worked. What I've seen implemented seems to work in chunks of PD negotiation probably limited by the USB chips. So, truly dynamic power distribution is going to require a new design.
You should review the new google charger when possible (sorry if this has been asked a hundred times already).
haha, yeah it's on the way. It probably won't be here for another 2 week or so, then time to review, so probably October for a video on that.
i dont see a CMF by nothing 65w in the upcoming video list... so what happened?
It isn't here yet... I am working on a big round of 65W adapters all together.
But why the moulded cable? 🤦
Cause Anker did it.
it's smaller than the charger for my Gaming Laptop (350W) SO expected it's not going to go well.
Wow, 350 watts for a laptop.
Never wanted to try this cheap brand, glad I never bothered.
They had a couple decent options a couple years ago. The newer releases have been less.
Can you test the Spigen GaN III 1402 PD3.1 140W
It looks promising to me
This is on the list, but it's a long list.
PLEASE PLEASE I BEG YOU REVIEW THE SLIMQ 330W. I WANNA BUY BUT IM NOT SURE HOW GOOD IT IS
Yeah, that's been on the list for a while. I don't have a timeline for it.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Fair enough. I shall await in impatient patience.
I need a decent charger that can supply my ugreen revodok pro 211 dock. I need 2x usb c cables and a charger than can supply energy for the dock itself and some other acc. like smarthphone/Headset. Should i go 100w or more? Or should i completely get all ugreen products to ensure best compatibility?(160w charger + 100w cables? ) rlly stuck on this...
haha, yeah, it is certainly confusing, and not sure I can really help all the way. UGREEN cables are not a bad choice. The power adapter, the 160W Ugreen will probably be okay if only connected to the dock, don't load it more than 100 watts though as it may run into issues with overheating, but you should be able to charge anything through the dock as that will stop at 100 watts of draw from the power adapter.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Hey, i went for a Baseus 100w charger based on your other vids. Since it was on sale. It works and i don't think i notice any interferences during gaming with regards to lagg etc.
You're doing awesome work man
the ecoflo chargers are really expensive. wonder if thats what its meant for.
Hmm. Maybe.
Can you please review ups battery backups
Yeah, I want to get into that too. So much stuff to do, so little time.
Hi can you tell me the best charger is over 100 watts thanks
My pick is the Satechi 165W for myself. It's not for everyone though. Quality issues, compatibility issues, etc. It works with everything I charge. The Anker 240W GanPrime (2023) is a big charger, again, people complain about some compatibility issues but in testing it did well.
Hi can you review the dji 100 watt charger pls
Of course they'd get into the charging game, haha. I'll add it to the list.
we still havent seen a 48v 5A capable 240w adapter :(
Yeah, I don't think that will happen for awhile, it has to do with availability of chips to negotiate the USB modes.
@@AllThingsOnePlace i see... most manufacturers ignore the 5A standard and go for upto 7A for better efficiency for laptops (no step down needed).
i once thought manafacturers could employ double type c (two type c ports on either end, and only 1 cable) for doubling the amperage hence delivering upto 200w at 20V for gaming laptops, but that never happened...
So does the above solution have obvious oversights or is just too weird/ expensive to implement?
240w is insane with that size. No wonder something broke with your model.
Interesting topic.
For comparison, the Anker 240W is even smaller (check around the 7:00 mark) but has been designed and engineered to sustain up to a full load. The Anker is also a little heavier, even without the stand that may help it dissipate heat (as mentioned in the video). I also think the Anker has more premium components and it should have a heatsink, thermal pads, etc.
One more thing is the shape of the unit. The Anker looks like it has a bigger surface area even though it's smaller than this Baseus, which would translate to better heat dissipation. Apple's 140W and Dell's 130W laptop power adapters are quite flat (similar to the Anker) to maximize the surface area and have been designed to sustain a full load as well.
Nice overview!
@@modecir Yep anker has better heat management. I have been hooked up with this guys charger reviews since I want to have a DIY powerbank with 100w output using LiFePO4 cells with at least 430 Wh. Power interruptions are becoming more frequent in my area.
Please test REDMAGIC DAO 150W GaN Adapter.
thanks for the suggestion.
i avoid Baseus chargers because they are lack of UK plug.
mmhmm
it there any Chinese preson? i want to know what Baseus 🤣🤣 means ?
Base. Then US. Kind of like wotobe. And US.
@@AllThingsOnePlace its one the worst insults we use in the north east of Algeria,
Damn 26 min thats bad and another thing can it give 230w on the dc port
It can give 230W on the DC port. For a non-continuous load like a large desktop replacement laptop, it may work just fine as long as the average power is 120 watts or so. But for sustained full load it will likely shutdown.
@AllThingsOnePlace so it wont work for me when playing my laptop draws an average of 180 so it would probably just kill itself as it did in the video
I don't understand the confusing marketing claims. They tout this as being able to power hungry laptops, but it's designed never to leave the desk. If your power supply isn't designed to be portable or leave the desk, why not just use the original laptop vendor's power supply? The other confusing trend, one which Baseus in particular seems to be leading, is the power cable that *cannot* be removed from the main body of the charger. Incredibly poor design that drastically limits its use cases, such as people who travel with their laptops.
Good points.
I think they may be pitching it as the one nice-looking charger that can replace all the chargers on your desktop, including your laptop's, for less clutter. That way you can also have the convenience of leaving the power supply that came with your laptop in the laptop bag, which would be a nice perk. Just guessing since manufacturers have been touting this ever since the first ≥100W multiport desktop chargers hit the market.
Kind of a moot point, though, since this Baseus probably can't replace your laptop's power adapter and power other devices at the same time lol
Yeah, that's the struggle I've been seeing, from this and many other high wattage adapters on the market. They can't sustain. But also, yes, use the OEM brick. For portable get a smaller adapter has been my approach.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Yeah, I always use the OEM adapter at home.
Wow, that's a very sad excuse of a product. Shame on Baseus.
I think everyone else is doing the same thing now. Everything I've looked at has been getting worse.
