Hey, I'm Chris.
And today I'm back with another video about a product
designed to make using your Apple products a little more easier.
And that product is the Omni 3- in-1 charger
from Chargeasap.
This $89 MagSafe compatible stand does exactly what it says on the tin,
while looking sleek and modern on your desk or bedside table.
You have a floating MagSafe charger for any iPhone from the 12 and up.
An Apple Watch charger and a wireless charging pad
which is perfect for your AirPods or another phone.
And on the back there is a USB port which you can use
to charge additional products like an iPad.
It features a charging indicator on the front, which glows
red when charging and switches to green when everything is charged.
Unfortunately, you can't turn this light off,
so if you don't like it, I'd recommend covering it up with a sticker.
The whole floating frame also doubles up as a handy nightlight,
so if you plan to use this
on your bedside table, I think it makes a great addition,
as I've used it to quickly shine a light to find something close.
There are
also three brightness settings for it and unlike the charging indicator, it can
be turned off.
The main magnetic MagSafe compatible charger
is really good for charging your iPhone,
you just pop it on and it just floats there.
The magnets are very strong and I have no concerns about it falling off.
However, it is only ten watts, which isn't the full 15 watts
that Magsafe can handle.
The built in Apple Watch charger isn't the newest quick
charging puck that is supplied with the latest Apple Watch Series 7,
but if you only charge your watch at night like I do, it shouldn't be an issue.
Then there is this wireless charging pad on the base
which has multiple outputs depending on what you place on it.
For AirPods, it will drop to two watts and for phones it will go from 5
watts to 15 watts.
So realistically, if you want the fastest charging for your phone,
you would use this instead of the MagSafe charger, which to me seems a bit silly.
There is also an included usb-c charging cable in the box, but no plug adapter.
So if you want to get the full potential
out of this charger, you'll probably want to invest in at least a 50 watt usb-c
wall brick, which unfortunately is another expense on top.
And circling back to the price, at the time of recording this item costs $89.
When you compare it to something
like the Belkin MagSafe 3-in-1 charging dock at $140.
It does seem like a really good price.
However, you do get an included power cable with the Belkin Docks.
So once you've factored in a usb-c brick capable
of 50 watts, the price gap does shrink.
And when it comes to build quality, I don't think this is the best.
The base is made of a cheap plastic
and the arm holding the charger is quite flexible.
When a product is hitting
almost $100, I'd hope it was a bit more sturdy and well-made,
but this doesn't take away from the fact that this does do exactly
what it's designed
to do with the addition of the extra USB port and the nightlight.
If I could give one piece of advice for a future version,
I would definitely include a power cable or a USB brick right out of the box.
That way I think it would be well worth the $89 they're asking.
Fortunately, as ChargeAsap did send this out to me to review,
they've supplied me with a discount code for 10% off,
which I'll leave in the description of this video.
I don't get any kickback or affiliate payout for this,
but it will help you save a bit of money and soften the blow for some people.
But I do think the quality could be better.
So thank you so much for watching my review of the Omni 3-in-1
MagSafe Charging Dock.
I did get sent another product
from ChargeAsap, which I'll make a video about in the future,
so be sure to be subscribe to get notified when that goes live.
If you liked the video, give it a thumbs up and comment your thoughts.
Thank you again and take care.
