Einfach 15W USB Desktop Charger Review

Einfach 15W USB Desktop Charger a great investment.

I think I am a tech addict. I have a graveyard of technology resting on my nightstand and my computer desk. At any given time I may have my iPhone 6s Plus, IPad 2, IPad Air 2, AppleWatch 42″ Space Gray Sport, Samsung Galaxy S5, New 3DS XL, Bluetooth headset, Sandman Alarm clock. With most devices charging via USB, there are so many power bricks that require plug-in space. In 2016, this is ridiculous, as there are multi charging USB HUBS. Now when I camp or travel, I take a USB HUB and USB charging cables instead of the plethora of charging bricks. This really has reduced my overall travel gear as I now have a universal charger for all things USB A.

The product comes in a white box, measuring 4″ X 5 7/8″ X 1 9/16″. The cover displays the 4 port device with 2 rows of 2 USB A inserts. Near the insertion point of the cord is a standard toggle for power. The picture on the cover, is not to scale. It accepts input of 100–240V and 50/60hz, which essentially makes this universal. The device outputs at DC 5V 3A. The side of the packaging shows an included A type outlet (compatible with North America and Japan). The device is compatible with iPad-iPad4, iPad mini, iPhone4/4s, iPhone 5/S/C, iPod touch/classic/nano/shufle (spelled incorrectly on the packaging), iPod with video, mini and color display. The back of the packaging shows the various outlets available.

Opening the top of the package, the device slides out easily. There is nothing in the packaging besides the device. It comes with 5 feet of cord with a type A (2 prong) outlet prong on the end. This directly plugs into a single wall outlet, giving you access to 4 ports. I plugged my iPad Air 2, my iPhone 6S plus into the device. I tested the current with a multimeter attached to a USB cord (stripped wires and attached to leads of multimeter). I obtained 3.2 A output for each of the ports and my above iDevices were charging fully. The device weighs in at 4 oz and is roughy 2″x4″X1″. It is apparently available in various prong types, depending on which version you buy. It would honestly be better to have a single device and an adaptor. There is no mention about surge protection. I do like that this Einfach device has a power toggle switch and a rather bright Red LED near the USB ports. When powered, the LED is illuminated. If you unplug the device or turn off the power it will turn off.

Summary:
 I love devices with multi-utility. This not only serves your nightstand well, it is white sleek and appears to be something Apple would make. However, if Apple made this it would be a cylinder or hexagon or some other shape as rectangles are overdone and boring. There was some clear plastic tape around the top of the charger. There is actually quite a bit of dead space between the power toggle and the 4 USB ports. I do not know why the rectangle is this big. It seems that they could have added another 2 USB ports or even an outlet in the space that is available. For the camper/backpacker each ounce is a calculated amount. It is uncertain if this device is surge protected, I do not think it is based on what I see. There are no instructions, no manual. Simply plug it in and use it. I love this little device. It now lives inside of my 32 foot class C Diesel Dutchman Motorhome, as the means to power my iPhone, iPad and my wife’s phone on the road. The cool thing about this device is it will charge the 3DS XL (if you have the USB charging cable), and it will charge any device that already charges via USB. I do not have to take anything except a few USB Micro and lightning cables and I can charge just about anything. I am really happy with the device and I would rate this at 5/5 stars. If you do not have a power USB Hub, I would highly encourage you to get one of these. This will revolutionize the cable management and need for multiple charging bricks. Lastly, the company proved itself to be customer centric by making Singapore/UK/HONG KONG and Continental Europe versions.
