    I was thrilled to find a charger that actually fit my google pixel phone, however it doesn't really charge my phone. I was at 10% and even when I had it charging in my car it went dead within 15 minutes

    Extra charging port needed around the house so with a family of four charging phones required a few more charging cords.

    Doesn't charge very quickly, it does feel pretty nice though. Surprising given the price. I'd use one in an emergency over a main charger.

    Poor packaging: Slow speeds bad power

    As is with the best buy essentials brand, there was hardly any specs or packaging information included with this cable. As such, the cable can only charge up to 10watts(some iPad tasks will drain faster than this cable can charge) and the cable is slower than pretty much all of the competition. Especially anker and belkin products. In short, charges less and is slower than everything you can buy in the best buy store. I guess I got what I paid for.

    The item is made with nice strong material, but no plug for the wall was included in the box. a plug for the wall is important for me because that is where I tend to plug in my telephone.

    I purchased this charger from Best Buy along with a Charger Base... Turns out Best Buy no longer has the USB Charger bases... So I had to return it and get a Type C to Type C charger, and had to pay an upcharge because the Type C is more expensive... I feel like it's a monetization scheme, where they stop selling the Bases do the chargers that everyone has just so they can buy the more expensive charger.

      Hi Eman. Thank you for writing a review about our Best Buy Essentials Charge and Sync Cable. I apologize that this charger does not have USB charger base and you separately buy Type C to type C that is more expensive and you feel like store is a monetization scheme. We would love to check this situation further with you. Please feel free to contact us at the link below to get assistance with your unit.
