Appears to fall to this price often, using it to charge a gateway laptop right now… charger does get warm but it's working. Maybe cactus can chime in on whether it's a good one or not.

Review meta seems to indicate the 4.4* reviews are made without deception.

I read some of the reviews, and some of the complaints stem from when trying to use both ports simultaneously. Possibly some issues with the s24 and iPhone 15, but I don't have those so didn't fully read the reviews.

Here's a snippet from the listing description
With up to 67W max power output, you can charge your MacBook Air M2 up to 55% in just 30 minutes. Our advanced SuperVOOC flash charging technology delivers super-fast charging for OPPO, One Plus, and realme mobile phones.

    Is this a genuine MOOVOO?

  • lwinstan on 11/02/2024 - 14:16

    I'll give it a whirl.

  • bdl on 11/02/2024 - 14:19

    This or Wotobe?

  • frugalftw on 11/02/2024 - 14:27

    Slightly off topic, is this one (same brand 120w) @5% off a decent price? I’m looking for a 100w charger, only need a single usb c port.

    • spaceflight on 11/02/2024 - 15:32

      The one you linked to us unavailable so I can't see the price.

      Try this if you don't mind the different form factor

        I can see it still, comes to a bit over $57.

        Oh what you linked is a much nicer price. Will get one, thanks 🤩

          I would think twice before getting these cheap USB-C multi port chargers. It is important to check the issues reported by people who purchased them. For example, this 67W posted, people complained about overheating, lower charging speed when the adapter is too hot, and some people experienced random disconnects / re-connects. It might be fine for your older phones and devices, but if it is a current flagship or a more expensive laptop, do you really want to risk it?

          That Novoo 120W, when all 3 ports are used, the other 2 ports basically are 10W each. Basically, no fast charging support on those 2 ports when all 3 ports are in use. With USB-C chipsets, charger makers could get away with dodgy design and just let / hope the chipset takes care of things when there are issues. However, your original chargers have proper circuit design to keep things safe. You really think the quality would be much better in the 120W version? I am cynical about it.

          As for the AliExpress one, one user complained it doesn't charge at the right speed with his Samsung S23 Ultra. Does that mean not quite right PPS support / coding? There is also a comment from another user on thermal protection kicks in after a while. Honestly, that's not a good thing, that means lousy design and the chipset thermal protection had to kick in, lowering its charging to avoid the whole thing blowing up.

            @netsurfer:

            It is important to check the issues reported by people who purchased them.

            What about brand name chargers from Apple, Samsung, Lenovo etc
            You will find users with those which have had issues too. Do you just ignore that because there are a brand you know and assume all never have issues?

            For example, this 67W posted, people complained about overheating, lower charging speed when the adapter is too hot, and some people experienced random disconnects / re-connects.

            It's a small device putting out up to 67w.
            Of course it will get warm and may need to throttle itself.

            You can't have a small charger with super high wattage, no heat and no throttling ever.
            If you want that buy one that's physically larger.

            That Novoo 120W, when all 3 ports are used, the other 2 ports basically are 10W each.

            Correct that's what the Amazon listing says.

            However, your original chargers have proper circuit design to keep things safe

            Which any other charger can have to.

            As for the AliExpress one, one user complained it doesn't charge at the right speed with his Samsung S23 Ultra

            So a single user complaining makes something bad?

            Does that mean not quite right PPS support / coding?

            Or perhaps it means something more else like the cable is damaged.

            There is also a comment from another user on thermal protection kicks in after a while.

            It's small so yes that can happen as I said above.
            Brand name chargers can throttle themselves too

            Honestly, that's not a good thing

            So you'd rather no thermal protection?

              @spaceflight: You are doing this to me again? Just playing around with words, rather than real facts?

              Brand name chargers often have proper tear down reports. You should read the tear down reports. The differences between original and these el cheapo 3rd party are better quality components. You heard about Japanese capacitors? More expensive brand name ones have them. Proper thermal and safety design in original chargers. They often use electrolytic capacitors. From the rendered picture of the AliExpress charger in question, you can tell ceramic ones are being used. Also, you'd better hope they are not el cheapo grade ones. Bought some dirt cheap resistors and capacitors from AliExpress. They have much inferior rating than ones you get from Jaycar. I guess those el cheap ones are quite easy to fry. I've mucked around with some of them, purposely fed a bit more current than the rating, fry easily (was kinda fun). They are much easier to fry.

              Proper reviews often tests what happen to those chargers when the test device attempts to pull extra voltage or current above the rated specs. Noise and ripple are checked as well.

              So you'd rather no thermal protection?

              You don't get it. For 65W+ chargers, you want a properly designed adapter so it doesn't overheat. When the chipset thermal design kicks in to protect the adapter, it basically means the circuit is subpar (and I am being nice there). Do you really expect Apple, Samsung chargers to slow down due to sloppy, way too much corner cutting leading to overheating?

              Would you accept a PC power supply that drops power output by 35% because it uses el cheapo, rubbish components which overheat?

          • frugalftw on 11/02/2024 - 21:12

            @netsurfer: Thanks, I’ll take it into consideration. The reviews seem ok on it. Haven’t found anything that makes everyone happy at a reasonable price, most of them are equally random, but price fluctuates quite a bit, so it’s already a gamble.

    My 65w charger died yesterday while I was charging my dead phone. Was literally next to it, and hear an internal click and buzzing sound, and charger died.

    It was test and tagged on Tuesday, so for it to fail on the second use after that is a bit sus.

      Which brand charger was it?

  • KrugerOz on 11/02/2024 - 17:26

    It is a good charger, powerful for it's size…

    • netsurfer on 11/02/2024 - 17:39

      Just read the top reviews (from AU buyers):

      • A significant issue is the reduction of USB-C charging power from 62 watts to 40 watts due to overheating of the charger. Therefore, it is not recommended.
      • Don't waste your time with the allure of high W charger in a small package. Wouldn't work with an apple watch charger and phone charger. The iPhone 15 Pro would start and stop charging consistently.
      • Generally it's good to charge everything from mobile to laptop, but sometimes it disconnect and reconnect my S22 during charging

      Their comments (from verified purchases), not mine. However, feel free to neg me (I don't care).

      If you want to assume it is still good a charger, just have some QA issue, then check it thoroughly once you get it. I don't recommend any 3rd party charger without a full tear down review.

        What would you recommend for a compact size charger?

  • ritzaus on 11/02/2024 - 17:51

    Thanks - I'm giving it a go. Will compare it with my current Belkin Gan USB-C Dual 65w charger and provide my thoughts.

    • ritzaus on 12/02/2024 - 17:23

      Received earlier today. I don't know how to measure exactly but it seems like it doesn't do the 45w via USB-C when another device is connected to the USB-A port. Have used it for a few hours and it hasn't got warm at all. Single USB-C port did superfast charging on my phone (up to 45w) but as soon as I connected a measly 5w charging device into the USB-A port, the charging of the phone dropped to "fast" charging.

      Update - my wireless charger has an LED that lights up when a device is charging. With my other chargers like Belkin, Google, Apple, STM etc, it doesn't light up when idle/no device is on the charger. However with this charger it periodically flashes on and off. Not sure if this is a biggie but it concerns me…doesn't seem right.

  • KrugerOz on 11/02/2024 - 18:08

    It charges my Pixel 8 pro very fast, with USB C port….

  • Roe Jogan on 11/02/2024 - 19:08

    whats the best 100w universal gan charger besides thoes $70 dollar heymix one with the changeable heads (ideally similar price has heymix)

    • ATangk on 11/02/2024 - 19:16

      Maybe give the Zyron chargers a look.

      • KrugerOz on 11/02/2024 - 19:24

        They used have small micro charger, but not anymore….

      • Roe Jogan on 11/02/2024 - 19:31

        yeh those ones i saw, it was on sale too but i missed the sale, ill wait another month

    • Droz on 12/02/2024 - 08:12

      I bought a Rocoren one from AliExpress, different class of charger sure, but posted about $40-$50.

      2 USB-C, 2 USB-A, 100w, great, great charger.

      Check out the reviews on YouTube (and here I think!) - swappable lead (figure 8).

    Input voltage 220 Volts (AC)
    It works in Australia, but is not designed for Australia.

      In 1980, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) rationalised the 220v and 240v nominal voltage levels around the world to a consistent 230v

  • AmperSand on 11/02/2024 - 20:57

    Who thinks up all these weird brand names. Are they legit serious and there is some form of reasoning to the name, or is there some form of "random brand name generator" for aliexpress/ebay/amazon drop shipping.

    Its pretty good, works fine to charge my laptops (only thing is it does get hot tho when charging laptops or higher wattages for long time may be 23+ mins as OP said)
