Good to have in a pinch, but could be better.

Took a long time to charge the first time. Seems to use a lot of battery up to not charge the phone up very much. Directions say to push button to turn on for 3 seconds, this is incorrect. Does power on when something is plugged into it. Convenient with flat base to store and handy to have to charge the phone otherwise.

Highly recommend

This ihome magnetic power bank charges your phone Super fast! And it's thin so you can still fit in your pocket also when you work a 12 hour shift it keeps your phone charged when needed and you don't have to take a cord or worry about finding a plug to plug in the Wall

Small, but helpful at a good price

This power bank is small, light, convenient and pocket-sized. So far, this is not a daily carry item for me, although I have found myself out and about with my phone at risk of running out of charge a couple times the last month or two. I can fit it and my iPhone 16 pro max in my shirt pocket. I need to remember not to let it near my other pocket where I keep my wallet. Magnetic wireless chargers and power banks can pose a hazard to magnetic stripe cards (like credit cards, hotel room keys, or transit passes) if they are jammed into the same tight pocket together. It is a nice device with a percentage readout for the remaining charge unlike my previous power back that showed 1 to 4 LEDs to indicate remaining capacity. Part of the appeal was the braided 6 ft USB C cable included in the kit, because between having mostly 3 or 4 foot cables, and periodically losing my longer cables to wear and tear, I considered the cable a great bonus. I didn't comparison shop, so it felt like an impulse purchase, but for $20, I think it was a good deal. Since then, I did a little comparison shopping and found a higher capacity device from Energizer that was twice the capacity and about the same price, but also one from Anker, that was twice the capacity and twice the price. I knew before I bought it, that 5000 mW was not big. So far I have not given it the travel test, but as just an adjunct charger on my desk, I was able to charge my Air Pods a few times and I guess I might have tried it with my iPhone. I didn't think I was using it much but it showed 0%. To give the objective data, I asked Google Gemini to comment and here is what it said to expect: Here is how that 5,000 mAh capacity and 20W output translates to your devices: 1. For AirPods Full Charges: You can charge an AirPods case roughly 3 to 4 times from empty. Speed: It will charge them quickly and efficiently. Because AirPods cases require very little total energy, a 5,000 mAh pack treats them like a deep well. 2. For an iPhone 16 Pro Max Full Charges: It will get you roughly 0.7 to 0.8 of a full charge (about 70% to 80% battery capacity). Why? The iPhone 16 Pro Max has a battery capacity of around 4,685 mAh, but power bank capacity is rated at its internal cell voltage (3.7V), and converting that to the phone's operating voltage incurs some energy loss. So, a 5,000 mAh power bank doesn't quite deliver a full 1:1 transfer to a phone of that size. Speed: Very fast. It supports up to 20W Power Delivery (via cable) or MagSafe wireless charging, meaning it will juice up your phone at a respectable speed rather than a agonizing trickle.

Best Portable Charger I've Had!

This little charger is amazing! It has the mag safe on the back and it sticks to the phone even with a case. It charges well and if my phone is below 20%, I can get a full charge and have some battery left over. When the charger is fully charged, it can go a week without losing charge. I work 12hr shifts in a hospital and this is now a must have in my work bag. BONUS it also charges my AirPods. I do have to take my case off of the AirPods while it charges, but it is worth it. 10/10 recommend.

Great Charger!

I really like the iHome Magnetic Charger. I am a Samsung user myself so I can't take advantage of the powerful magnetic charging capabilities but it still works great. It only takes about an hour to charge my phone 30% using the usb c cord included. It is almost 1% drain to 1% charge for my phone which is pretty good. The best part is that it is super lightweight. I tested the magnet on a friend's phone and even when shaking it really hard it held fast abs didn't fall off.

I do not recommend this!

Add really high hopes for this mini charger, but I was completely disappointed. I used a total of seven times on the back of my phone to give it an opportunity to show me what I can do each time it lost three times the charge than what it gave my phone and it became extremely hot and made my phone Extremely hot. I tried it a couple times just plugging it in with the exact same outcome I would not recommend this charger

Thank you for taking the time to share this detailed feedback — we&#39;re genuinely sorry the power bank didn&#39;t meet your expectations. A few things can affect performance: wireless charging is inherently less efficient than wired charging (some energy is always lost as heat during magnetic induction), and factors like ambient temperature, your phone&#39;s battery level, and whether the phone is in use while charging can all impact how much charge transfers. That said, the level of heat and power loss you&#39;re describing sounds beyond what&#39;s typical. We appreciate you giving it multiple tries and sharing your honest experience.<br />— The iHome Team

Hot product

The charger is sleek and small. Convenient and effective. 30 minutes and I got 30% more charge. However, I left my phone charging on it and the charger got extremely hot after only 30 minutes. I'm lucky I came back and found it when I did. Does it work? Yes. Will it start a fire? Maybe.

Thank you for the feedback, and we&#39;re glad the power bank delivered a solid charge for you. Some warmth is expected during wireless charging — it&#39;s a normal byproduct of magnetic induction, and it can be more pronounced when charging for extended periods or in warmer environments. The unit is designed with built-in safety protections, including temperature monitoring, to prevent unsafe conditions. We appreciate you sharing your experience and your honest review.<br />— The iHome Team

bought this as my phone battery is getting older and i wear a cgm and need my phone. it claimed it would charge my phone twice but it doesn't even fully charge my phone once. Definitely is not a rapid charger. It becomes very hot during use. And as of yesterday the cord is no good. it will only work magnetically which is drastically slower so I will have even less battery before this power bank dies. I needed it to charge my phone twice without needing charged as advertised. But with its cord no longer working when it dies this time I will be unable to charge it anymore.

Met expectations

Overall did meet what is advertised on product, Easy to use and did perform satisfactory, we recommend to make packaging more easier to open, even with scissors as somewhat difficult, also the on and off button is a little hard to access had to press several times to make sure it was on

Very compact charger

I really love this charger since it's very compact and easy to carry around. I have a mag safe case so the charger attaches magnetically to my phone and since the charger is only about 1/4" thick, it fits in my pocket with the phone very easily. A USB C cable is also included so you can also charge via the cable if you do not have a mag safe case on your phone. Can charge the phone about two times and has an electronic reading of the charge available in the battery. Definitely would recommend this for the price over the other generic chargers you see online.
