After having used this charger pretty extensively over the last few days, I am incredibly impressed with how well it works, how amazingly versatile it is, and how small it is when compared to how much power it can deliver.
The first thing that struck me was how small the charger is. The listing makes it look like a really big brick, but in reality it's quite small. This is an excellent attribute to have for a charger because the smaller it is the more portable and more functional it is in all situations.
Functionality is the name of the game with this charger. It has in integrated USB-C cable that gets wound up and magnetically attached to the charger so it is not likely it will unroll by accident. This cable can be used as a power input or output depending on if you are charging the power bank or using the power bank to charge a device.
I have used the cable on my iPhone 16 Pro, AirPods Pro, M1 MacBook Air, and my wife's power-hungry HP work laptop and it charged them all with ease. The screen on the charger keeps track of how much power is flowing so you have an idea of how long it will take your device to charge.
There are two additional ports on the charger as well - a USB-A and a USB-C so you can charge three things simultaneously if heed be, or have two items charging and have the power bank recharging from the wall.
The body is all metal with the exception of the screen which gives you stats on how much power you're using and which ports it's going to.
The power bank has an output rating of 165W, which means it can essentially charge anything. As mentioned above it charged my wife's 17-inch work laptop from 50 to 100% in about an hour while she was using it, and it still had 20% capacity left in it which would probably be enough to do a smartphone from 0-100%.
The battery itself can recharge from 0-100% in less than 2 hours because it can handle a 100W input. So if you have your laptop power supply with you on the road you can use that to recharge this bank and it will do it quickly.
The 20,000 man is an impressive capacity for such a small package. In the past I have reviewed power banks that have half the capacity and are housed in much larger and bulkier case.
The only thing missing from this power bank is the ability to wirelessly charge a Qi device, however I'm willing to forgive that because of all the other excellent functionality it has. For me this will be my new go-to for when I'm on the road. Between the size, battery capacity, and versatility, you can't really ask for much more from a power bank.
This is one of the most impressive bits of technology I have reviewed in a while. Considering it's a power bank, that's a pretty big statement on how good this power bank is. I highly, highly recommend this power bank for all your on-the-go charging needs. You will not be disappointed.
