Portable, Fast, Nice Sized, Wireless Charger
I love this thing. I mean, multiple times a day I stop and think about how much I love this charger. My iPhone can no longer be charged by cord, my battery isn’t in the best shape, but I don’t want to buy another one right now. I’d finally pieced together a few far too fragile wireless chargers, either plugged into a charge station or with a portable charger that works, but it took forever. Any time I had to move the wireless charger I was damaging the cord, or the port on the charger, etc. My phone hasn’t been near 100% charged in months and I was constantly getting down to 20%.Then I found this wireless charger. I can charge my wireless earbuds, my Fitbit, and my daughter’s tablet, but most of all, I can charge my phone. It’s at 100% right now. The charger doesn’t heat up. It stays well charged, and while the description says it won’t work as a pass through charger, it actually does.Just as important, it’s not awkward and you don’t have to monkey around every minute with it. I have my phone clipped to the charger, which is roughly twice as thick as my iPhone but otherwise the same dimensions. Took a couple hours for me to adjust to the thickness, but it fits so well against my phone, just perfect. I just grab them and go!I will be ordering another one, just so I can keep one upstairs and one downstairs to take with me when I leave the house. It’s nice looking, it’s unobtrusive, and I didn’t even have to worry about my phone while trick or treating with my daughter this week. It stayed charged, the charger has never dipped below 76%, and it’s so convenient. So much better than a cord that was constantly needing to be replaced, or I had to be a contortionist to not jostle it so it would stop charging. I don’t see much need in my future for anything other than a wireless charger, and while I have an excellent car charger that charges my phone very fast as well, this is the very best wireless charger of the 5 I currently own.

25000mah WOW!
This is one awesome portable charger! With 25000mah I never have to worry about running out of battery when I'm out camping/hiking or just playing Pokemon go. With my phone battery only being 4000mah I'm not stuck charging this power brick every time I use it like I used to have to with my smaller 5000mah brick. Also this power brick costs just a portion of big brand power bricks that offer many less features. I absolutely love the digital read out to know exactly how much battery life is left. My old one would only show 4 lights so it wasn't very helpful in calculating how many more times I could change me phone. On top of that it is very slick looking with the glossy front. I was worried this thing would be huge but compared to my pixel 2 xl it's only a little bigger and about double the thickness which isn't bad at all. Still very easy to walk and charge. Charging time with a USB C cord wasn't an issue either charging 50% in just a few hours. I just can't say enough good things about this charger!

Maybe NOT 25000 mAh?
So, the good the bad and the ugly with any power bank is the balance between size and capacity. When we recently upgraded to phones that all had wireless charging (and having a phone that once had the charging port crash out on me during a vacation) finding a power bank that offered a wireless feature was a bit of a bonus. Finding one that offered wireless charging with a capacity big enough to charge all three of our phones while out and about was even better. Unfortunately, when you try to make the perfect solution things start to go south quickly and this bank is no exception.The Good - THREE yes three USB outputs for wired charging. This is the perfect solution to charging multiple devices on the go. The display showing the battery level is also a complete winner. Nothing like seeing 3 out of our LED's lit up when you start charging only to find it drop down to one within minutes of starting. The percentage gauge appeared to be pretty accurate when in use. Now, don't think of this as a short good list because honestly, if a power bank charges your device, it's a good product. That's exactly what this power bank is, a good product, but...The Bad - I'm not going to say they are wrong, but my Note 9 had a 3500 mAh battery in it. I got approximately 1.5 charges out of this power bank before the meter dropped to 10%. Call it fuzzy math, but I don't see how a 25,000 mAh battery could only charge a 3500 mAh battery that few times and be correct. The next misstep in my opinion is reverting back to the archaic MICRO-USB charging input. With three standard USB and one USB C output ports, going Micro USB on the input just seemed like a HORRIBLE choice. I'm not sure of the reasoning, but as the last of my Micro devices went away, this beast brought the adapters right back into play. So between the lack of capacity and the poor choice of charging input, this goes from a solid buy now to a think about it for a bit in my book.The Ugly - Now, this is where that trade off I mentioned came in. This thing is HUGE - which I would expect it to be for a 25,000 mAh battery pack. The packing size on this is 7" x 3.5" x 1". That makes for a pretty epic pack to carry around - like forget about taking in in a pocket type epic sizing. Again, IF it was truly a 25,000 mAh pack, I would totally say it wold be worth it - but since it behaves more like a 5,000 mAh pack, I would have rather gone with a much slimmer 10k pack instead. The other part is the slow charging time - both wireless and wired. There is no fast charging of any kind with this bad boy, so be prepared to wait quite a while for your phone to charge while using it.Overall, I'm not upset with the performance vs. price ratio on this guy, but I am pretty bummed about the performance in general. It reminds me of the days when phones had replaceable batteries and we would be the generic "extended battery packs" that only lasted about a 1/3 of the time that the original ones did due to the quality of the components. I think that may be the case here as well. They build out the battery to hold a certain charge, but it only lasts 20% of what the stated capacity is. Anyway, it does fill the need that I had and it's a decent enough product. The saving grace to the larger size and mediocre performance is a great price.

Have had for 1 week, does not hold a charge
I want to like this, but it has problems. First, I've only gotten it to charge completely once, and when it did I realized the LCD was broken (part of the "1" on the "100" doesn't light up"). Not a huge deal, 99% of a lot is still a lot...but I've had a lot of USB batteries and when they start not completely charging, that's usually when they're headed downhill. Also this battery loses charge. I use the wireless charging feature often. I charged my phone a couple of nights ago. In the morning I went to grab the battery and it was blinking "00%". Somehow it completely discharged over the course of the night/day while it was not being used. My theory is that perhaps it stayed on, trying to wirelessly charge something that wasn't there, and completely discharged itself.I'm hoping I just got a lemon, and am going to ask for a replacement.
