Charges fast. Magnet is amazing. Small size. All, that comes with a price. The price is the amount of charge it delivers is low. Takes my Samsung S24 from 15% to 70% and is dead. Great for an emergency boost but not so great for anything else.

Total garbage

This is not a rapid charger and the battery capacity is nowhere near the specs. It's super slow to charge the phone and only restores about 60% of my iPhone's battery. Recharging the unit takes well over a few hours with the supplied cable.

Thank you for the detailed feedback. A few things worth noting: wireless charging is inherently less efficient than wired — some energy is always lost as heat during magnetic induction — so a 5,000 mAh power bank typically delivers around 50–60% of an iPhone&#39;s battery wirelessly, depending on the model. For faster charging on both ends, we recommend using the included USB-C cable with a compatible 20W wall adapter, which will noticeably reduce recharge time and deliver more usable power to your phone. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.<br />— The iHome Team

Decent for Price Point

This charger is slim and magnetized well to my phone. It will *maybe* get 1 charge. Definitely not 2 as advertised. But one is all I need typically. It does get hot when charging and so does my phone. So keep that in mind as well when charging.

Don't buy

If you plan on using your phone while charging, it's very slow. At 100 percent charged it gave my battery 3 percent more charge and took 10 percent of itself to do that.

Thank you for your feedback. You&#39;re right that using your phone while it&#39;s wirelessly charging significantly impacts efficiency — the phone draws power for active use at the same time it&#39;s receiving a charge, which slows net battery gain and generates more heat. Wireless charging is also inherently less efficient than wired, with some energy always lost during magnetic induction. For faster, more efficient charging, we recommend using the included USB-C cable, especially if you plan to use the phone at the same time.

Slows and small capacity

Terrible charger. I lose about 15% within 3 minute of my portable and if charged me 5% on my iPhone. Mind you i just bought it about a day to two days ago…

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we&#39;re sorry to hear the power bank isn&#39;t performing as expected. Wireless charging is less efficient than wired charging by nature — some energy is always lost as heat during magnetic induction — but the ratio you&#39;re describing sounds outside the normal range. Factors like phone case thickness, alignment with the magnetic ring, ambient temperature, and using the phone while charging can also affect performance. We appreciate you taking the time to leave an honest review.<br />— The iHome Team

Wireless charging works for iPhone only!

The packaging on this item leaves a lot to be desired, as it is very literal in nature. In the upper right corner, the text reads: "FOR IPHONE 12 AND NEWER". In another area, just above the coiled USB-C cord, it reads: "Compatible with USB-C DEVICES Android/iPhone 15 and newer". Understand that what this is telling you is: Wireless charging only works on iPhones, but the power source and charging cord can be used both for iPhone and Android devices. WIRELESS DOES NOT WORK WITH ANDROID PHONES. (I tried two of them, and neither detected a wireless charging signal.) Additionally, the instructions read: "Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn on." This is incorrect. If you press and hold the power button for 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds or more, it DOES NOT TURN ON. To turn it on, briefly press the power button. The packaging text is misleading, it should be clearly stated that the wireless charging ONLY works on iPhone, not giving the impression that this device can by used with Android phones because it says 'Android' next to the charging cable. I've charitably granted 3 stars, rather than totally diss it because it didn't work for me. BTW - I have another iHome wireless charging device that works just fine with my Android phones. I don't know why this one doesn't...

Ok

It took 1.5 hours to charge my iPhone 13 Pro 256 Gb and only at 97% at that, and iHome battery showed 0 in indicator light. My phone is supposed to be ~3500 mAh and this powerbank is supposed to have 5000mAh, why did it not fully charge my phone and drained? Phone was at 19% of 97% capacity so around 3395 mAh (from 665 mAH) .. so supposedly, it needs 2730 mAh to fully charge and the battery supposedly has 5000 mAh. The battery charged at 20% in 20 minutes. Charged to 100% from 11:38am to 1:02pm (~80mins). I would have to make a few more tries to see if the performance improves. Overall, I feel that yes it's thin and lightweight, so it's good for adding juice at the end of the day.
