Anker Maggo Wireless Charging Station 3-inch 1 Foldable Pad Review
this Anker MAGGO Wireless Charging Station 3-inch 1 Folding Pad is a travel-friendly QI2 MAGSAFE charger with charging modules for iPhone and AirPods, as well as certified Apple Watch Fast charging module. It retails for $89.99/£89.99/au $199.99 on the Anker website, available in Amazon also.
Anker Maggo wireless charging station has a material 3-inch foldable pad with a high-quality look and a patented design. I’m particularly happy to see Anker incorporates the material to reduce environmental impact by using 75% PCR (post-consumer recycled) plastic in a MAGGO wireless charging station 3-inch foldable pad.
Just a moment to fold the Maggo wireless charging station The 3-inch foldable pad is small enough to hold my palms, and the magnet is strong enough to withstand the depth of my bag, but easy to pull away when needed. But it’s not easy unless I have two free hands to pull the iPhone apart and stop the charging pad from hitting the table after it is separated.
Although I like the novel UFO-Meets-Macaron aesthetic, I found that when paving flat to charge three devices, I found that the charger was easy to move, especially when placing or removing the iPhone and Apple Watch. The latter’s charging module made me most uncomfortable because every time I moved, I could hear the outer surface scratches on the table. It gets a little marking from the rough surface of the table I photographed – Luckily, it wipes off easily and doesn’t seem to have any scratches, but I still recommend you be cautious. This can be avoided if the Apple Watch has an all-in-one band or a sturdy belt, as the charger’s silicone strap allows the Apple Watch charging module to be tilted upwards, allowing for upright charges.
I’m really not a fan of flat wireless chargers – unless it’s a charging pad, I can be like Anker Maggo Wireless Charger Pad. However, I was happy to find that the Anker Maggo wireless charging station 3-inch foldable pad can be made in the stand by connecting the Apple Watch charging module to the back of the iPhone module. This is not a perfect solution, as the phone can only be a landscape with only one viewing angle, but Anker’s focus is to promote standby mode, which can do the job.
I’ve tested quite a few wireless chargers that seem to literally look too much. If they charge efficiently with any cable and adapter, then this is not the end of the world, but some require the latter on a certain wattage. Fortunately, I wouldn’t add the Anker Maggo Wireless Charging Station 3-inch foldable pad to this list, as it comes with a 40W adapter and convenient 5-foot/1.5 m USB-C, which is also a USB-C cable.
The ANKER MAGGO Wireless Charging Station 3-inch foldable pad takes commendable hours and fifty-six minutes to fully charge the 3,095mAh iPhone 13 Pro, almost twenty minutes faster than this Pro Anker 3 in 1 cube with Magsafe. The Apple Watch charges well, and it only takes an hour and three minutes to charge my Apple Watch Series 9, just one minute from the fastest Magsafe charger I’ve ever tested Anker Maggo Wireless Charging Station 3-in-1 Stand.
At the end, I really liked the Anker Maggo Wireless Charging Station 3-inch foldable pad. Some aspects may not exactly match my preferences, but it is made with beautiful materials and the patented design makes it easy to fold and pack. Of course, this is expensive, but for good charging speeds, eco-conscious materials, compact size and light weight, you can get a great value here.
