Belkin Boost Charge 30 Watt Home Charger + USB-C to Lightning Cable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very thankful Belkin sent me this wall charger to review. This is my first fast charger, and to-date have been using the typical usb-c and usb-a wall chargers that come with my Apple products, or the usb-a connectors in the surge protectors. I ran several tests across multiple Apple products and am very happy with the results. - On average, charging my iPad Pro 12.9 was 3.5x faster using the Belkin boost charge versus other methods - While i didn't see it on the 'made for' list on the package, iPad Mini 4 charging was 2.2x faster - iPhone 11 / iPad Pro 10.5 was 1.5x faster - The only product not showing improvement in testing (but also not on the 'made for' list) was the iPad 6th generation. The fast charge time is very impressive, and more importantly, being able to rapidly charge up to 50% in the short time advertised is now something I take advantage of regularly. This is the main charger in our master bedroom now. With two iPads, it is certainly nice to have two ports so they can be charged at the same time. Even though the second port is standard usb-a charge speed, it is very convenient. Before moving to the master bedroom, the charger was plugged into the bottom outlet on the wall and folded flat against it. It is small enough not to obstruct the outlet above it. Now that it is in the bedroom, i am taking advantage of the unfolded mode which allows the charger to stand straight up in the surge protector. We already have a device with a larger plug using the only outlet that supports its size. Being able to unfold the Belkin charger allows use to use any of the other outlets without causing any obstruction. Very nice! This charger is also small enough that it wont be a problem to take with us when traveling. Again, having the two ports there is another bonus! I have many Belkin products, and this is another that i am very satisfied with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A wall charger should be a simple thing - you plug it in and connect to your device and the device charges. Well, some chargers work better than others and this is one of them. It has 30 W of power, and while I have not measured it directly, I can say that it charges via my Qi disk without issue while at the same time charges my iPhone. Now how can it do both? there is a USB-C (with included lightning cable) as well as USB-A (for most of my other charging needs). While charging, the unit does not get warm as some others do. The form factor is a bit larger than the 10 W Apple adapter, but certainly not 3 times larger. In summary, this does the job. This charger has both USB-C and USB-A for forward compatibility. It also has the power necessary to charge my devices.
