PCMag's most versatile MagSafe charger: a compact cube that unfolds to charge an iPhone at 15 W plus an Apple Watch and AirPods, with the adapter included. Wirecutter found it cluttered, easy to knock over and awkward to pack. Amazon owners are split on magnet strength with cases and on value.

Top complaints

  • Cases don't always stay put

    Amazon's review summary says magnet strength is mixed: it holds phones securely, but some owners report phone cases not staying in place.

  • Cluttered and tippy

    Wirecutter calls it impractical for everyday use: the design is too cluttered and it's too easy to knock over. Its shape is also awkward to pack for travel.

  • Pricey for some, heavy for others

    Amazon owners disagree on value, and some find it too heavy for travel.

What owners love

  • Three devices in a compact cube

    It charges an iPhone at 15 W in portrait or landscape and has extra surfaces for AirPods and Apple Watch. PCMag likes its sleek looks and collapsible design.

  • Clever design

    The phone pad adjusts in angle and flips up to reveal a mirror and an earbuds pad. The watch charger hides in a slot (Wirecutter).

If that catch is a deal-breaker

Highly ranked wireless chargers whose biggest complaint is something else.

#1 in wireless chargersBelkin UltraCharge Magnetic Charger with Qi2 25W

PCMag's best Qi2 pad and its pick for kickstand fans. It's a Qi2 25W puck with a kickstand that doubles as a finger loop, plus passive cooling, and it works with Qi2 Android phones too. It's new on Amazon with few ratings, and about 1 in 5 of them are 1 or 2 stars, citing units that stopped working and buzzing.

Its catch: some units stopped working#2 in wireless chargersApple MagSafe Charger (1 m)

PCMag's pick for maximum compatibility: Apple's own puck, rated up to 25 W on recent iPhones, with strong magnets. Wirecutter found it slower than cheaper models and it has no stand. You need your own adapter, and Amazon owners report heat and some units dying within a month.

Its catch: gets hot#3 in wireless chargersBelkin BoostCharge Pro Portable Wireless Charger Pad with MagSafe

Wirecutter's top single-device pick. It measured the fastest of the chargers Wirecutter tested (10.9 W) and has a flip-out kickstand and a long braided cable. There's no wall adapter in the box, the cable can't be swapped, and Amazon owners are split on reliability and speed.

Its catch: some units stop working or charge slowly
