I Tested $1200 Worth Of MagSafe Multi-Chargers - Which Ones Was Best?

Choosing the best MagSafe 3 in 1 Charger isn't just about brands. It's about performance, reliability, and standing the test of everyday use. A little over a year ago, we figured that the Belkin Boost Charge Pro was the best multi-charger. Is that still the case? Monty and I have tested $1200 dollars worth of Made For MagSafe Multi-Chargers and there are some great products!

Overall, the Made For MagSafe chargers in this video performed significantly better than the previous generation of multi-chargers. The difference between 7.5W of Qi-charging with the 15W of MagSafe charging is definitely faster!

Here's the Top 3. I've included the affiliate links:

Here's the rest of the rankings

4. ESR Halolock 3 in 1 Charger - I’ll be honest with you, I was bamboozled by this product. Why? Because in my search for Made For Magsafe chargers, I saw this Made For Apple Watch and thought it was Made For Magsafe. This charger is slow BUT not as slow as the Mophie. The only redeeming feature about this product is the price and the portable Apple Watch charger.

5. The Anker Series 737 is a decent charger. It’s priced a little cheaper at $140 dollars but that’s it’s only redeeming feature because the charge speeds are below average. The AirPods charge pad isn't big enough to charge anything else except a set of AirPods.

6. The Normal Belkin Boost Charge? Again, runs hot and charges slowly like it’s Pro cousin but costs just as much as the Pro. This flat charger has a feature that allows you to raise the Apple Watch charger to accommodate larger devices.

7. The Nomad Base One pulled a fast one on me as I thought the space behind here, was for my headphones. It’s not. The unit doesn’t come with a charger, you have to supply your own which is annoying BUT the biggest slap in the face is the fact that my Apple Watch Ultra with a case doesn’t fit on the charger.

8. The ex-winner, the Belking Boost Charge Pro is slow, runs hot and but looks decent and the build quality is great. The Charge Pro was the best product out of all the MagSafe compatible multi-chargers but when put in a competition with equivalent products, gets blown away...

9. The Mophie 3 in 1 Travel Charger came in dead last because it’s dead slow. Yes, Mophie is trying to fix it but as it stands now, this cheap feeling product is terrible. The felt bag is nice but who would pay $150 for a felt bag?

With iOS 17 coming next month I wouldn’t recommend anyone buy a flat MagSafe charger right now. The new StandBy feature requires the phone to be in landscape orientation, so you’ll be missing out on that if you buy the Mous charger

[SchneidersG]

I like that you define your parameters for your tests. That’s something that not many reviewers do, but it’s extremely important! Thanks

[michealspates]

You really should have talked about vertical and horizontal positioning on these chargers with the new standby mode coming.

[riverjustice]

Btw I just wanted to let you know that I watch a lot of tech review youtube channels. But your channel is one of the few that I actually go and buy based on your recommendations. Thank you for making such good reviews!

[wasmadeinthes]

The Anker Cube has been my go to travel charger since it released. I absolutely love it. It has been with me to 9 different States here in the US as well as 3 different Countries.

[MichaelToub]

I haven’t seen one of your videos in years. Your production values and presentation skills have evolved and are super wonderful! Well done!

[ralPhieZZey]

Dude out here doing The Lord’s work! This video definitely answered all the questions that I’ve ever had about these 3-in-1 charging stations and then some!

[TeabridgeX]

I have the Anker 3-in-1 cube as well and I love it. TBH I only use it overnight so it is a perfect size for my nightstand (unlike what the Mous one looks to take up). The ability to change the angle and orientation of the phone on the lid makes it perfect for any space. Finally, the portability is great. It is a bit hefty, but when removing my phone from it I don't have to hold on to the base like some other chargers I have tried. Great review! Say "hi" to Monty!

Your dog is super adorable. I think pet owners are amazing who are able to show such love and care for their pets for years on end. It just warms the heart to see the bond last a life time.

[chrluc]

Like many others have pointed out, one of the most important features I look for in a 3 in 1 charger is something that will be compatible with the new standby feature in iOS 17. I actually think that’s more important than changing speed. I charge overnight, and I got 6-8 hours to get a full charge.

[jalepeno]

I got the Mophie 3in1 for when I’m away from home and I absolutely love it! I’ve used it a couple of dozen times now already. I don’t really care about the charging speeds because my devices charge overnight. I also love that it comes with a case, so all is nice and neat.

Even with all 3 on low battery mode, my iPhone 13pro, Apple Watch 6 and AirPods Pro 2 were ready to go, all at full power in the morning.

My wife is jealous of my setup when we go away, so I’m going to get her the Anker 3in1 cube instead of the Mophie because her home charger is due for a change as well and it seems pretty easy to pack and carry.

Great review as always Aaron!

[jaysax]

Informative, concise, entertaining, and cute pup to boot. One of the best reviews (of anything) I've ever seen. Thank you!

[DeeDee_Says]

Great review. Thanks for the info! Btw, 7:10 mark missing your b-roll.

[biglan]

Great job as always, Aaron. I will definitely use your link in purchasing the anchor 3 in 1 charger. Thanks for all your great work.

One of the best review videos I have ever seen. Concise; entertaining; and thorough! Great job! Earned a subscription.

[Kaiyening]

Wow you’ve always been THE accessory king! I’m so thankful for all the insane amount of work you’re putting into this. I’m now watching your videos even when I’m not interested in the subject, I just want to know your opinion on stuff

[TheTechnoHash]

Worth checking ESR charger that’s on kickstarter at the moment and will be shipped in October.

[Anthony__]

Thanks Monty and friend. I used your link and bought the Anker Cube to use when I travel. Great discount. Glad it helps your channel

[DCuerpoJr]

I bought the Belkin Boost Charge Pro based on your recommendation (and used your link!) and it's worked flawlessly. I'm not concerned with charge speeds as long as it can completely charge everything overnight. The two negatives you mentioned are true for me as well. First, it can get uncomfortably hot. I charge my AirPod Pro on it and the whole case gets hot where I need to let it cool down before I can place the earbuds on. Second, the cord is too short. I had to get an extension cord behind my drawer in order to place the charger where I wanted.

All that aside, I'm now looking for a compact travel charger and I'll go with your recommendation for Anker's.

Cheers!

This was great. Glad you covered some of these. I kinda expected the Anker Cube to be in the rankings, but surprised it was in the the top three. Can’t wait to finally get one (especially after the long hiatus when it first released). But really surprised that the Otterbox made the list. I like Otterbox, but know some of their products are hit or miss. Been eyeing some of their latest offerings; glad to see you approve of them as a brand.

Took your advise on their MagSafe batteries; gave away the one I had (the dual-sided 5k), but came back to it for my girlfriend, now that she has a MagSafe iPhone (from iPhone 8 Plus). The recent markdowns from Best Buy definitely helped (not sure what you’re seeing up there in Canada). I’m sticking with the Apple MagSafe battery for now.

Lastly, kinda wished you pointed out that, unlike the original Belkin 3 in 1 (I have the original), some of these chargers come with USB-C instead of the AC barrel cable. That’s why I’d recommend the Anker Cube as my overall charger because of the exchangeable Type-C over the barrel port cables. It’s much more common, flexible option seeing as we’re in the USB-C era. But once again….great video. ❤️👍🏾👏🏾
