Not what it’s advertised

It claims to charge your device up to 2 times, it did not even fully charged my phone once. At 100% it only changed my phone from 19% to 62% and it was not fast at all. I will love to return it.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Wireless charging is less efficient than wired charging by nature — some energy is always lost as heat during magnetic induction — so wireless output will be lower than the unit&#39;s rated capacity. For the full charging capacity advertised, we recommend using the included USB-C cable, which delivers significantly more power to your phone than wireless. Factors like phone case thickness, alignment with the magnetic ring, and ambient temperature can also affect wireless performance. We appreciate your honest review.<br />— The iHome Team

Barely gave my 50% charge

I fully charged it… left in my purse overnight. Went to use it and it had dropped down to 84%. Went ahead and used it. My phone still has about 24% battery life left. It only charged me up to 53% and it was dead lol. So not worth much of anything! I got it for about $15 so for that price it’s not bad to have as a backup but if it won’t even hold a charge not in use it may not even be useful for that!

Thank you for the feedback. A small amount of self-discharge over time is normal for lithium-ion batteries, though dropping to 84% overnight is more than we&#39;d typically expect — it&#39;s possible something was drawing power, like the unit being activated by movement in your purse. Wireless charging is also less efficient than wired, so output will be lower than the rated capacity. For maximum charge transfer, we recommend using the included USB-C cable. We appreciate you sharing your honest experience.<br />— The iHome Team

A Travel Companion

We do a lot of traveling from September-May, frequently by air. One of the things we find difficult is to keep our devices charged on layovers in airport, and sometimes on long flights. This power bank will allow BOTH of us to get that last minute charge on our phones before boarding. The LED battery level screen will be nice to give us advance warning that we need to recharge the bank.

Do NOT work as advertised

Very compact is the only plus. My family has IPhone 16’s , smallest to 16 pro max, and they will barely charge them. The phone will be at 40%. This battery pack will be at 100%. The battery packs will get very hot and get the phones maybe up to 75%. I bought two of these and they both do the same thing. I don’t know how they advertise two charges out of one pack. There are other packs that perform as these are advertised, these don’t. I keep them for a 20% boost in an emergency, but I would not buy them based on their claims of a total re-charge of your device. Also, I have charged both batteries to 100% the day before we have plans. I unplug them overnight, and the next morning with no input or output, they are at 80%. The MagSafe connection is sturdy.

Works just not as well as advertised

I like the size and the simplicity but it will not charge 2Xs as advertised. My phone was at 32% and although it did charge and fairly fast the battery was down to 11% when the phone hit 80%. Good for emergencies with only one use before needing to recharge.

Thank you for the feedback, and we&#39;re glad you like the size and simplicity. Wireless charging is less efficient than wired charging — some energy is always lost as heat during magnetic induction — so wireless output is typically lower than the unit&#39;s rated capacity.

This charger was completely disappointing, while it does charge wirelessly the magnet does not stick at all. I have a pixel 7 and I even tried it without my case and it does not stick either. Without the magnet it does not work if I have it on the go and moving around in my bag and holding it in my hand is exhausting after some time. It would only work if I leave it sitting there which is not always the case. I asked for a replacement and found that the second charger also does not have a strong magnet either, incredibly disappointing. I returned the charger, it was not worth the money.

This charger is designed with built-in magnetic alignment specifically for MagSafe-compatible iPhone models (iPhone 12 and newer). The magnetic feature works with Apple’s MagSafe functionality, which includes an internal magnet ring inside the phone.<br /><br /><br />While the charger will still provide standard wireless charging for other Qi-enabled devices like the Google Pixel 7, those devices do not have the built-in magnetic ring required for the magnet to attach securely. Without that magnet system, the charger will charge, but it will not “snap” into place or hold while moving.

Tried on a Samsung

Tried on a Samsung S26 Ultra. It will charge the phone, although it's pretty slow, it gets very warm while charging, and it doesn't have a lot of capacity. Also, it does not seat properly on the Samsung because of Samsung's lower vertical camera lenses. Not a fault of the power bank, but because of that I will be returning.
