With all the recent GaN deals I was looking for something with 4+ ports and around 100w with a power cord. Almost pulled the trigger on the UGREEN then noticed this one and got it instead.
CamelCamelCamel.
Yep I've always taken one of these style chargers overseas.

Surpised they float.
@PainToad can't work out the downvotes mate. It was comment of the day for mine. I had to scroll up to see your name, as I was 90% sure it was going to be a jv comment.
Oh dad, since when did you have an OZB account?
This is exactly what I did.
I have the white version as it was on sale at the time and the black was always full price. Now the black one is cheaper.
Does it come with different type of figure 8 cord plug or youll need to buy them individually?
How do you mean? Don’t you need another figure 8 cord to local plug?
This has less charging modes than the cheaper UGREEN and pretty sure it doesn't have PPS.
Good price but seems considerably worse aside from lack of Prime requirement.
Does the UGREEN have a Figure 8 plug? To me that's the main appeal esp as a travel charger.
Yes
Do you mind linking to it? Edit: found it and confirmed it was mentioned by the OP. I can see the Belkin may appeal if you have older devices that need USB-A eg OMD cameras etc.
Yea why would you choose this over ugreen? Brand?
Electrical certifications are a big factor for some people, but this is ozbargin - I have the ugreen
The validity of my insurance policy is a pretty big factor too!
I have just checked my Ugreen 65w, 100w and 200w chargers, all of them have Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM).
Also checked the Heymix, Anker and Belkin charges, without an exception, they all have RCMs.
Yeah. I have put 3x UGREEN products in the bin from failure outside warranty. Zero Belkins.
Never had a ugreen charger or cable fail on me. Also delivers advertised throughputs as multiple-y reviewed and tested on YouTube. Belkin though… I've personally had their cables and chargers fail on me.
Personally i dont tend to trust smaller brands, i dont want to killing my laptop or phone cause i cheaped out on a charger. The Ugreen is probably going to be good enough and I'm just worrying over nothing but i would prefer to spend that little bit more for peace of mind.
I was just in Japan and in the major retailers like BIC and Yodobashi Camera, UGREEN had their own section in the store with all their products, sitting alongside the likes of Anker and Belkin.
I think the ugreen version of this uses a laptop style clover cable ranther than a simple figure 8 cable.
Ugreen has maximum of 45W output for single port, base on this picture: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/aplus-media-library-serv…
For Belkin: 65W https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/aplus-media-library-serv…
Not sure what Max 96W means tho
That graphics seems to say 45w max for the usb-c is if you have all of those ports in use. Where did you get that graphic from?
The graphics in the Amazon listing show 100w max from a single port (I assume the max is if you don't plug in other ports) .
The UGREEN pic you quoted is for when all the ports are in use simultaneously.
The second photo in the carousel shows the actual maximum output, which is 100W for the C1 and C2 ports.

I have the white version of this product. It's great. The connecting wall plug is quite long too (handy for when travelling and there isn't a power plug near the bed).
This. Also handy when in a departure lounge etc that doesn't have charging stations nearby. The long cable does take up some room, but one of the more important uses of your carry on IMHO
I have two of these, they’re fantastic although I’d prefer more USB-C these days
The Ugreen one has 3 USB-C and just one USB-A. (Or 4 USB-C if you jump up to the higher wattage models).
Belkin has a 4 port USB-C 200W version but it's currently $169.
Anyone know how much it weighs? A Google say 90g, surely that's not right. I just bought two.
It's buried in the Amazon listing. 480g
Why not the heymix one
.
heymix
That's why.

I have a Heymix one and I don't think it's earthed properly. You can almost feel the electricity through your devices.
This gets fairly toasty when under decent load; however it does feel like there's decent heatsinking inside due to the weight so I'm much less concerned this will melt compared to other import brands.
Returned mine as the coil whine was really loud.
Same, its fine when lightly loaded. But plugging a laptop and something else. It goes bzzzzzzzbzzzzzzzz.
i've got 2 of these, in both black and white, love them to bits. bring one on all my travels and i can power and charge all my devices. however, the white one developed a coil whine if i use one of the usb A slots. Aside from that, they've been rock steady chargers/power bricks.
It’s no longer available is it ? Can someone check ?
I still see $68.98 on the product page and if I add to cart?
White one is $80.82
Are you looking at the black one which is $68.98?
Yeah you are right. The deal is still on.
I just tried from the link above and was able to get it at the advertised price, thanks OP 😄
Can anyone recommend a reliable Dock to connect 2 monitors (HDMI and DP) and can charge laptop as well. Thanks
About to pull the trigger on this model.
Has anyone noticed any coil whine on this new model? The earlier Belkin 4-port GaN chargers suffered from this issue.
Seems like a useful charger to take on holidays by swapping out the figure 8 cord for a local plug?
