So wireless charging is where it is at now days, but is getting to be a challenge with the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14, because of the new style of camera area. Some of the previous wireless charging options, just don't work, and you need to go with a magnetic style. So Pro: It charges, and seems to be fully compliant with the MagRing for Apple, as the phone does detect it as a mag-ring charger (visually able to see that when the charging starts). It seems to charge at a pretty quick rate, but I haven't broken out the timer on it.. but I can get 10% charge added to the phone, during a short trip. Looking forward to try it on a long road trip, with navigation going. Two downsides though: The clip to the vent, there is no way to adjust it. It is really really tight, and you slide it on.. but if your vent is a little thick you may have some problems, and be very careful, not to push to hard, you could break your vent. Bigger downside... the plug. WAY to thick and big, and really looks/feels cheap. And the wire does NOT come out of it. The way my car is designed, these thick 12v plugs, push into the cup holder, and I lose that one for drinks. I can't swap this out for a different one (like a mini Anker). It does have a 2nd USB port, but no indicator on what the voltage rating is on it. Not sure if I will be able to charge two iPhone 14's on it, or not yet. Good/Bad, the cord is REALLY long... for many installations, the cord is way too long. It works, but there are many options out there, and this one really doesn't do anything different, and lacks in a couple areas.

I have been using the charger for a while. I even took it with my on vacation when we got a rental car. This is a definite must have companion for my MagSafe iPhone in a vehicle. It is built very well and is very sturdy. The mounting clamp for the car vent is only by friction. So you have to just force it on. But It holds the vent very well and doesn’t move. I do wish it was a clamp or screw clamp so it would be a little easier to install. The magnet it very strong and hold the phone very well and the phone does not move one millimeter while it’s attached to the charger. The charging works very well on the unit. I was running GPS and Bluetooth and the battery stayed at 100% which is a huge plus! I hate when I have a charger that can’t keep up with my usage. Not a problem with this charger. The lighter jack plug also does have a usb port built into it so you can charge something else. This is great the lighter plug isn’t just used for the unit. I definitely recommend this charger. It is a great must have MagSafe Charger for any car.

I had been looking for a wireless charger to put in my truck for several weeks, and I received this Best Buy Wireless Car Charger. When I took it out of the box I was very reluctant as if it would hold up because of the way the clip was made, I was soon proven wrong. I clips into your air/heat vent which makes it easy to move around in the vehicle, which I really like. The one I had previously that broke after a month or two took an Act of Congress to move from vent to vent. I placed it on the left side of my steering wheel, the vent closer to the drivers window, and used the plug located in my console to plug in the charger, the reason I shared that is it comes w/ a cord that is very long, in fact I ran it under the steering wheel and into the console close to the dash. I really like how strong the magnet is on this charger, it is exceptional, and I like the fact that I my phone attaches to my truck through Bluetooth, which allows me to take hand free calls all the while my phone is charging. Best Buy did a good job w/ the manufacturing of this charger. I highly recommend this product.

I’m my Wrangler, I have the vents that rotate 360 degrees in all directions. None of the regular vent clamps stay put, even the ones with the hooks (which have been invariably too short). This Insignia one has “wings” and locks in nicely. By spreading over the surface of my vents, the louvers are prevented from spinning, which keeps everything tight. The magnet doesn’t feel like it has as much pull as some of my other MagSafe stuff; that’s both a positive and negative. On the bright side, it has a bigger surface area for support that makes it feel sturdier when it’s attached. It also makes removing my phone feel less likely to pull the clamp off my vent. Conversely, the non-round configuration of the charger makes the locked angle the only angle your phone stays in unless you want to adjust it. The adjustment mechanism for the angle/orientation of the MagSafe attachment point uses a finger-tightened locknut on a ball head. Once you have it tightened down, it’s not moving. Coupled with the aforementioned “wing” clamp, the whole set up is very sturdy and shouldn’t fall during normal use. This is now my go-to car charger, as I’ve been using CarPlay with the phone attached to a cable in my center console before now. CarPlay isn’t as good as having the phone right on the vent, so I’m happy.

Works as intended. Vent clip doesn't hold as well as I'd hoped.

This car charger securely held both an iPhone 12 Pro and my iPhone 14 Pro Max, nicely. It should hold any iPhone that has MagSafe, with ease - all while wirelessly charging at the same time. Mounting was pretty simple. I did find it somewhat hard to open the ‘jaws’ that clamp onto my car’s vent fins, but once I did, if feels like the right amount of grab to keeps things in place without damaging anything. I also like that the clamp has some tabs to the top and bottom, letting it support itself on my car’s dash. The charger is very helpful when using directions on your phone without draining the battery in the process… and while I placed it above my car’s center screen, I don’t feel like the cable gets in the way. The plug itself does stick out decently far out of the cigarette lighter port, which could be a consideration for some, but it was fine for me. I also appreciate the extra USB-A charging port this provides, though I would have preferred USB-C. While this is an ‘essentials’ branded item, it actually has a premium feel to it… or specifically the metal chassis surrounding the edges and back of the charging mount, which appears to be similar to an anodized finished. I expected this to be plastic for the price, but it’s a very welcome element here. In short, I’m impressed by this charger - it has both great charging and magnetic mounting ability, with a minimal footprint and looks to match. I received this product as part of a review program, in exchange for an honest review.

I like the idea of charging my phone without having to fumble with the cords and special attachments, especially in the car! This phone holder/charger plugs easily into the 12v sockets in my truck; I have them in the front and the back. When I laid the phone on the circular disk part, it signalled that it was charging! So far, so good. Next I adjusted the air vent holder portion and got it arranged at a perfect angle. Even though my phone connects to my truck via bluetooth and I have a big screen on the dash, I figured it would be nice to have the phone closer in the air vent. Alas! My phone will not adhere to the magnetized section of the charger while in its protective case. I removed my phone from the protective case, and it immediately attached itself to the holder. Thus, my conundrum! I can keep the charger in a cup holder and charge the phone without removing it from the case, OR, I can remove the phone from its case and have it attached magnetically to the charger in the air vent. I was quite disappointed that the popular name brand phone case prevented the phone from attaching via the magnet. I think they should have stated this somewhere in the literature.

This little device filled the need to charge two phones at once. Installed this charger on an air vent in the car. Then next I could charge an iPhone attached to the device magnetically - which is most of the time for me. Also it held the iPhone in perfect view for maps and directions and for taking calls. This device also has a USB connector on its car 12 volt plug. I utilized the USB connector to charge a second phone or other device at the same time. It should be noted that this device will charge a magnetically attached iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone Mini, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Mini with the MagSafe cases. I did see that if I charged my iPhone just directly with a USB cable, it charged a little faster than with this device, but I have found this charger to be much more convenient since it can be easily used in the car all the time. Be sure you place the center of your iPhone onto the round circular demarcation on this charger. What is helping me a lot is that I can charge my watch, another phone for another family member or even earbuds a the same time because of the extra USB port. I highly recommend this very useful device.

Perfect for my car where I don't have good surface area for anything other than a AC vent based installation. Seem sturdy enough. Power plug has extra USB plug for other devices. Saved me as my old phone charge port is toast.

I ended up buying three of them for all of my vehicles. Much better and cheaper than the iottie car chargers I had before.

This all in one accessory is spot on as a phone holder and charger!

I really like it!!!! Is stable and magnet is great

Very helpful and easy to use. Lightweight and compact.

Broke after 2 hours of use, the mount between the charger and vent snapped, rendering this thing useless for anything but charging. Not ideal considering the one job I would like this to do is hold my phone up to see my navigation. Let’s see if Best Buy sends me a new one or if I’m $40 in the hole!
