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.

If that catch is a deal-breaker

Highly ranked wireless chargers whose biggest complaint is something else.

#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#4 in wireless chargersNomad Stand One

Tom's Guide's premium pick: a heavy metal-and-glass MagSafe stand that stays put when you pull the phone off. It's one of the most expensive chargers on the list and no power adapter is included. It has almost no Amazon owner track record.

Its catch: very expensive
