Amazon Basics 15W Qi Certified Wireless Charging Pad for iPhone 16/15/14/13/12/11/X, Samsung and More, with USB Cable, Black

This product blew me away. I was on the skeptical side after reading some of the negative reviews, but I have never had any issues. The charger is very fast and charged my phone in 2 hours from <5%. That's faster than some of my corded chargers. The cord and charger are of very high quality and even withstood my cat biting at it. Unfortunately, it does not include a charging block/usb wall adapter, but as long as you use a block/wall adapter that can support the charger (I used a Samsung fast charging block), it works great. The product will even blink if you are using an incompatible block. The rubber on the bottom of the charger prevents it from sliding around, and the overall appearance is slick and great. The product took less than 1 minute for me to set up and is very easy to use. Overall, it's an amazing product for an amazing price.Regarding some of the negative reviews; I see lots complaining about how hot the product gets. My block and the charger itself did get warm after extended periods of charging, however, there are safeguards that will pause charging if either get too hot. It hasn't gotten hot enough to be worrisome or even activate the safeguards, so I am not concerned about it at all.

This is a great little charger. Worked great out of the box. There were instructions explaining the light indicators, so no trouble there. Placed my phone on it and it immediately began charging. This is awesome because my old charger was so touchy that you’d have to pick up and replace the phone like 47 times to get it to charge! This one seems to find it first try every time! I am not sure how long it takes to charge, but not more than a few hours. My phone was on 1% and when I checked in it about 3 hours later, it was fully charged, so 3 hours or possibly less, I am not sure because I forgot to check it periodically! I had no problems with anything overheating or feeling hot to the touch. I’m very happy with this, great value for the money!

The 15w rating of this pad is a bit misleading as it is only rated for that for LG phones, which they haven't for 2 years. It's rated for 10w for Samsung phones, which it seems to hit with battery monitoring apps reporting a 1500-1700mAh charge rate (counting the screen on and monitoring usage drain of 300-500mAh ). iPhones seem to charge at the 7.5w rating (I cannot attest to the actual speed as it is a work owned phone). I use an Anker charger capable of 12v 1.5A 9v 2.22A /20W (ASIN B08WX99CYJ). A slow wireless charge is not a bad thing, especially as it doesn't feature a cooling fan. Using a Type C connector is a big plus as well, as many others from reputable brands are Micro USB, and allows you to charge a phone at fast charging speeds if necessary by quickly moving the plug.This pad is temperamental though, often times charging the phone for a few seconds to even a few minutes before stopping and flashing the green LED (error indicated). Picking up and replacing the phone in the same position will often allow it to work. Many reviewers have also mentioned this. It's not a problem if it's used on a desk where you're looking at it, but you do need to check it after a minute or so if you walk away to ensure it is charging.If you have the space, I would recommend looking at the stand version instead, ASIN B0874YN8B9. I have two of them. It charges at the same speed, is far easier to align perfectly centered, and doesn't have the same detection error issue this pad can have.

I purchased this wireless charger in February 2024. It has worked great and does a nice job of quickly boosting the battery on my Samsung Galaxy s25(Note: I have updated this review. I had previously blamed this charger for an issue I was experiencing that I have subsequently found was due to the charging brick this charger was plugged into)

Great--works perfectly with my grandmother's smartphone! Makes her life easier: when she goes to bed she just places the phone down on the pad and it starts charging. She's 95, and while I'm constantly impressed by her ability to adapt to technology, I still try to make it as simple as possible for her, and this makes her life better.It is also convenient to have at my grandmother's house as a back up for the rest of the family--we have mixed Apple and Android users, and this works for both. If someone is running low on battery and forgot their charger, this is helpful to have!Worth noting, my uncle and cousin used it to charge their phones and claim it is slower than with their native cord plugged in--I haven't done a comparison test or noticed any difference myself, but I don't doubt that the wireless charging technology is slower than the wired (but I wouldn't assume this is a problem withe the specific charger, but rather the charging technology). For my grandmother, this makes no difference, but it could for others.
