YILON USB C Charger 18W Fast Charger 3A 2-Port Wall Charger Plug Adapter for iPhone XS/XR/XS Max/8/8 Plus, Galaxy S8/S7/S6/Edge/Plus[Red]

This is an amazing product and is super fast in charging my phone. The spare phone charger was very bulky and took up a lot of space in my work back. It would take a long time to charge my phone. This changer is very compact easily slides into my bag compartment. It quickly charges my phone. I would recommend this product to everyone. It is also ideal to take on holiday.

Although I can’t give a long term assessment, it works well and is compact enough to pack away easily for travelling.

Potentially useful charger that folds amazingly flat. However design (it needs good clearance above the three pin socket) means it can’t be used in many places where mains sockets are located such as on a train, in many hotel rooms etc defeating much of the purpose for me. Folding pins could be easier to fold out but haven’t caused me any problems.

The charger keeps cutting out and not charging. So my devices plugged into it keep charging, then cutting out, then 'pinging' every time the charge comes back. Not sure it's safe to use.

This is a very low profile charge of plug that can have its pins folded down easily for travel - great for laptop bags etc. The unit does make noise if it is not under load - so if you plug it in with no phone attached then you can hear a quiet electronic noise. The unit size does also mean that depending on your socket, when you fully push in the plug, the on switch of your socket becomes obstructed. Lastly, any slight tug on a cable will wrench it out of the socket

Bought this to use as a phone charger to plug in behind my bed as its quite a tight squeeze and i didnt want to put unnecessary strain on my USB-C cables. For this purpose it worked quite fine, even supported turbocharge on my Moto G7. However, two things to note for anyone interested in purchasing this. 1. Im not certain this was designed with UK plug sockets entirely in mind, on just about every plug in my house the charger overlaps onto the switches, to the point that its not possible to have them entirely depressed while the charger is pushed the whole way into the plug socket, this makes turning it on and off very annoying, as you kinda have to wiggle your finger in behind the charger. 2. There is a very noticable coil whine/humming coming from the charger when its plugged in and on, but not connected to my phone. Since my charger is right beside my bed, this can make sleeping hard unless i go out of my way to turn it off. This isnt difficult, but extremely frustrating and confusing since i own literally no other chargers that have this problem. In all, I think I maybe purchased the charger for the wrong use case, as it's likely much more suitable as a travel charger for someone whos travelling quite a lot. Despite this, i'm not sure my above grievances are excusable either.

The bulkiness of UK plugs means it's essential to have a charger with folding pins if you want to get something really small, and I've been looking for something like this for years. This is about half the thickness of its nearest rival, and more up-to-date because it has both Qualcomm Quick Charge (v3) and a USB-C output. I don't have a device that charges via USB-C at anything other than 5V but have checked that it does work, and it charges phones etc fine. The QC output also works. I have not had it long enough to comment on longevity but fingers crossed for that. In all other respects I think the device is excellent. NB that as photographed in the listing, it's obviously plugged into a socket that is upside down in terms of normal UK orientation, ie with the earth pin at the bottom. As used in UK/Ireland, the cable outlets are on the top of the device, which I think makes them easier to access. It does mean that the brand name is upside down when it's plugged into a normal wall socket, but who cares?

It works as intended however there are some points that would put me off recommending the product over others. Firstly the feel of the product is quite cheap. If you are use to using the accessories that come with your apple products then you will be disappointed with this as it is made from a very thin, light plastic that doesn’t feel durable. Also as others have mentioned there is nothing to lock the pins in position meaning they can fold down again as your push the plug into the socket. This feels a little disconcerting as the first time I plugged the device in it sparked on me. If the product we cheaper I would say sure, it does what it says so you get what you paid for. But with it’s current price tag (£19) you are expecting a certain degree of quality with the build that this product doesn’t deliver sadly.
