I’m curious about the brands you mention, as I haven’t heard of them too much. I usually just shell out for Anker stuff since it’s performed well for me. Would you say they’re all typically good quality? Or am I reading you wrong and you’d like to see analysis of how bad they might be despite being popular?

I would recommend: http://reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware http://reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware Apart from top tier brands like Apple, Belkin etc which are generally good all of the others tend to be more mixed. Some products are amazing and best in class others a bit average.

  What multiport charger options are the top of the line now? For example I saw [1] and bought one but then cancelled the order because there was no precise shipping details (waited more than 5 days for shipping information after the payment).

    I have that exact one and it has been solid given the power it is putting out. Satechi just released a competitor which isn't shipping yet but is a good brand: https://satechi.net/products/6-port-gan-charger?variant=40197715492952 https://satechi.net/products/6-port-gan-charger?variant=4019...

Those seem to be the most popular on aliexpress. I'm assuming you've mostly been exposed to advertisements in US/European media? Anyway, I've bought a few Blitzwolf and Baseus chargers and have been satisfied with them, but I've never done any charge-time measurement, stress testing, exact voltage testing etc.

  > I'm assuming you've mostly been exposed to advertisements in US/European media? Spot on! I'll definitely be taking a peek at them. Not like I've seen much actual testing on Anker and the like, so a little anecdotal evidence might be enough for me to try out something cheap. Thanks :)
