I have bought an EU Plug USB Charger Quick Charge 3.0 For Phone having 4 output ports from “3C Featured Store” in Aliexpress.com. Please note that this is a generic travel charger.
I had ordered it for a price of Rs. 143.52.
I went with the 4 port version since I am having trouble carrying multiple chargers for me and my family during travelling. Its a fight when everyone wants to charge their device at the same time usually at places where there is only one mains ac power outlet point. Now everyone can charge at the same time using this. Still need to carry 4 USB cables though.
It was ordered on 7th Jan 2020 and it was received by me on 22nd Jan 2019. So 15 days to reach me. Even though I had ordered from a Chinese site, it was shipped from Western province of Soloman Islands. It reached me locally via the reliable Indian postal service.
I am including the photos of the product. Its larger than a normal charger that I have with me at home. I have included a photo for comparison
EU Plug USB Charger Quick Charge 3.0 For Phone – Pictures
The specs written on top are
Model: AR430
Input: AC 110 – 240V, 50/60Hz, 0.5A
Output: DC 5V, 3.5A(Max)x4
In the site they have written that there is protection for over temperature, undervoltage, overcurrent, overpower, undervoltage, shortcircuit etc – I am not sure about it.
Please do note that when ordering the charger, besides the color (I choose the black one, there are other colors available. I don’t mind about the color as long as it works), there are 2 different plug types – EU and US. If you are living in India like me, go for the EU plug type.
EU Plug USB Charger Quick Charge 3.0 For Phone – Advantages and Disadvantages
Now these are my views. They are mine only.
Positives
– Its very well priced. If buying in India from sites like Amazon, it might come around 326 (without GST).
– Reached me faster than I expected.
Negatives
– This is a rather generic product. There are no company name included on top of the charger. Not at all an issue for me – but there might be people who look for a particular brand, then this is not for them.
– Warranty – what warranty? Don’t think there is one.. It’s working now. Usually chargers work for a long period of time unless there is an electrical problem in the mains, its the USB cable which is having more issues.
I am still using the product. I am rating the product as 5 out of 5 for the moment. I will be updating this review accordingly when I get any new information. Please do check out my other reviews
