IKEA has black and white mobile phone Wireless Charger on sale for $7.

It's only the charging pad and you need a power brick and USB-C cable as well. But if you want to update your charging cable to wireless by pluging it in instead of your phone each time like me - then $7.

Link to white unit:
White Charger

Enjoy.

Sorry, forgot the power details: 5v 2A (10W I believe)

From product description:

Max. power induction charging: 5W.

Update 27 Hab 9:45am: Now out of stock all locations except Tempe, NSW

      It does, but it's only on when it's charging, and your phone covers it. I have mine in my bedside table, and use it every night - can never see the light.

  • DOGGYWOWWOW on 26/01/2021 - 21:41

      There is a lot of white stock around though by the looks…
      Canberra, Logan, Marsden Park, Perth, Rhodes and Tempe

      Wouldn't really recommend it though. Wife has one on her bedside table, it's ok for overnight charging but not much more than that as it's so slow.

      good on you!
      wireless chargers are very inefficient. wasting up to 50% of the electricity compared to wired charging.

      It's quite unbelieveble that there is a push for wireless charging while the whole world is struggling to keep energy consumtion as low as possible. There is absolutely no hope for mankind imo.

  • ShirPatrick on 27/01/2021 - 00:02

  • tragic on 27/01/2021 - 09:27
    +1

    Admittedly I've only got a 10w wireless charger, but I really don't see the attraction with wireless. Comparatively slow vs wired, inefficient, sometimes seems hotter on the phone.. overnight charging perhaps convenient, but I am known to fall asleep with my phone in my hand, plus any bump of the side drawers and if it's not positioned on the pad it doesn't charge anyway.

    Horses for courses, but seems a novelty to me. Absolutely not a criteria for any potential new phone in my assessment.

    • Trojan on 27/01/2021 - 09:59

      Personally, I use mine at my desk at work. I don't like sitting with my phone in my pocket so I always take it out and put in on my desk when I sit.
      Having a wireless charger on my desk means I just put it on that whenever I sit … its easier than unplugging and plugging in my phone every time I get up from my desk.

    • jeworge on 27/01/2021 - 15:33

      Depends on personal use case, I use mine to charge overnight majority of the time. I also have them in the kitchen and work where either I don't want cables laying around the bench or frequently get up from my desk. Saves the port on the phone from wear and tear.

      Well designed wireless chargers will still generate a little heat, but so will charging via a cable. Most importantly is that if the charging coils aren't aligned well then efficiency drops significantly.

      My experience across multiple wireless chargers would be to use a multi coil pad that allows for free positioning, in turn improves charging efficiency and avoid the annoyance when dealing with a device that didn't charge.

      But this is a really good way to get started, better off with this then some cheap dodgy pucks that burn out and melt. I've seen it happen first hand to someone at work.

    • Kontiki on 28/01/2021 - 10:42

      I don't have wireless charging in my current phone (Pixel 3a) and of course the first thing to give way is the USB port…. :(

  • NinjaCatfish on 27/01/2021 - 11:22

    I’ve been checking stock in the Adelaide store since these came out and I swear it is straight up never in stock.
    It’s so nice and cheap but far out, hard to snap one up.

  • spoonmugen on 27/01/2021 - 11:23

    only 5w charging… u'll have to leave your phone overnight to make any dint in %… and if you have a big battery might not even get to 100% the next day…

    • opilot87 on 27/01/2021 - 15:37

      No different to the Apple 5w chargers that were included with iPhones. Can easily fully recharge multiple times over, overnight. Better for your battery, too

  • TimApple on 27/01/2021 - 15:09

    Not a bad price, but beware that some flat wireless chargers like these sometimes makes the phone vibrates throughout the night (because of the intermittent connections).

    I would go for the vertical wireless chargers if you are just starting to use these kind of chargers. E.g. https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-10w-qi-wireless-fast-char…

    Found this browsing Ikea's smart home electricals. Does NOT come with a usb cable. Not a lot of information on it. Stock seems pretty good nation-wide except Vic of course. Comes in white or black.

          Why "of course" with regards to stock levels not being very good in Victoria? Is there a specific driver of low stock levels for Ikea wireless chargers in Victoria?

          In fact, they have moved on mostly. Magsafe charging now

          • ihfree on 13/06/2021 - 14:08

            @auna: Magsafe charging for iPhones is wireless charging with a magnetic ring to hold the charging pad in place.

            • auna on 13/06/2021 - 14:17

              @ihfree: Yes, you can easily still use the phone and it charges three times faster- 15w.

              • ihfree on 13/06/2021 - 14:22

                @auna: … but it's still wireless charging with improvements, so they haven't moved on.

              • spaceflight on 13/06/2021 - 17:16

                @auna: So it's wireless charging and when you use the phone there a cable attached?

                And then when you want to pick the phone up and take it away you need to remove the wireless charger because it's magnetically stuck to your phone.

                Sounds about as easy as plugging your phone in to a cable and much less convenient than wireless charging.

          • pennypincher98 on 13/06/2021 - 15:59

            @auna: That's as 'revolutionary' as iMessage and FaceTime. Which if you have never heard of any alternative does sound good.

            I have to give it to Apple's marketing team though, they can introduce something already done in such a way it makes them look like they've made it

            it charges three times faster- 15w.

            If you're just comparing raw charging output OP9 Pro charges wirelessly at 65W

        I think it's very fair, you can't really compare IKEA to other retailers. Their whole premise is you do it yourself to save costs, if you want extra service, you pay. I don't think you fully comprehend the amount of space and staff hours required to provide free click and collect at a store where people often buy 100's of items spread across kms of store space, some of which being over 2 metres long and 50kg+ per box.

      These are really solid chargers.
      They may not be the fastest but you don't need to position the device EXACTLY over the perfect point for it to work (unlike some of my other chargers).

      If you want a reliable, cheap wireless charger for maybe the kitchen or living room these are good.
