Product review: CHOETECH 50W 10Amps 6-Ports USB Charger Wall Charger


CHOETECH got this device just right:

✅ All ports work for every device I tried work close to optimal (I am attaching results of the current monitor tests below). No need to figure which port to use for which device.
✅ There is no blindingly bright LED light (on a few of my chargers I use black electrical tape to cover them up).
✅ Super compact. 6 ports on a 3.5" x 2.75" x 1", 5.5 oz
✅ It take one slot on the power strip due to a cord with a regular power plug.
✅ 60 inch cord that lets me place this charger anywhere I need it.
✅ CE and FCC marked, RoHS compliant, although no UL emblem is shown. This could be a problem for using this charger in corporate or government environment as they require US rather than European electrical standards. But for home use I have no worries about it.

I am using this charger with a Nexus phone, iPad Mini, and Samsung Galaxy tablet. Each one performed very well on every port of this charger.

➨ Test Results:
======================
CHOETECH charger has a chip which figures out what device it is charging and uses a charging protocol designed for that device.
I started all test with the devices at the same level of charging for account for non-linear charging.
