Lightning deal - Seems like a good price for 200W. Im unfamiliar with Hicvers but they seem to have at least some history on Amazon with good ratings. Similar units with 200W/6-ports have previously sold for $100+.
Mod Edit 9/1: Small decrease in price $49.90 -> $48.80.
CamelCamelCamel.
I'm sick of these marketing crap with "200W" GaN chargers but can actually never reach 200W concurrently.
The only way to use the 100W is as a single port. If you plug in anything else it drops down to 65W.
I mean when I look at the price I'd expect concessions like that, but you're right it's misleading.

Both of these can reach their respective Wattage and is cheaper than this deal

Don't settle ahaha
I fail to see how it can reach 205W:
USB-C1+C2+C3+A1+Wireless Output: 65W+30W+20W+60W+15W = 190W
100% correct. They are fool around with marketing term. Also, I am concerned about the reliability.
It's 100% correct now, but if they are correct about something else at the same time this will drop to only 65% correct
why not 62%
This is backed by the no other than Hicvers. Should be true!
/s
Can't agree more! What a dodgy way for marketing.
For this perticular one, even if I play along with their adding up game: 100+20+20+20+18+18 = 196W, and they marked 200W.
Thanks @marshmall0w2 and @CodeXD. I did not know that about these sorta chargers. Barely worth posting it then. How do I delete a deal?
Don't buy this dangerous Heymix clone rubbish.
Do you suggest anything or something else as well?
Note the power distribution chart. This can only do 1 port for 100W; and can only do 1 port of 65W if using two or more ports. Also take note of temperature rise.
