CARLCOO Portable Power Bank Usb Type C, QC 3.0 Quick Charger 18W PD 20000 mAh Charger with Power LCD Display (18W Faster Charger Input,QC 3.0 USB Ports, Li-polymer Battery, (Cable Inclued)

Initial inspection shows the unit itself is clean, slim, smart-looking, and not too heavy. In terms of size, it is roughly comparable to a modern smart phone. Indeed, there's not much size difference with my current LG 3G Shine. This makes it reasonably easy to transport. It has 2 USB ports which allows charging of 2 devices at once - which is very convenient for the techi on the move surrounded by devices.The charging times will of course vary depending on device. But I found no real difference from charging in the standard fashion. If there's a vast difference between this and wall connected charging, I dont notice it.Rarely do I run down any device to 0%, so the number of charges I get vary. But I have just charged my phone up from 32% to 100%, and my tablet from around 68% to 100% and both were fully charged when I checked around and hour and a half later, and the charger still had plenty life in it. From the inital start of 75%, it was showing 50% juice left.I bought this as a back-up to my normal charging methods and for emergencies. If I am out in the car or camping and my phone is about to die, I take out my portable charger and I'm back in the game. I rarely let that happen, but if I do, I know I have a great little back-up charger. Another bonus is that it has a little led torch that runs off the charge as well. Its not hugely bright, but again, if its an emergency, you'll be glad of it!

Wanted to wait about six months of having the product before posting because I think it gives a more accurate review. It was delivered extremely fast and well boxed. A little heavier than expected but for the amount it charges it is definitely worth it. Enjoy the LED especially when camping and it does allow to charge multiply devices when out and about which is a plus. As well as telling you how much charge is left. The only downside is how long it takes to charge, but that isn't a complaint, just annoying when I forget to charge it until last minute. A lot of people on here say it will charge their phone 4-5 times but mine will only do about 3 times max which again is more than a lot of other portable chargers I have bought. Would recommend for the price and efficiency, price has been reduced A LOT since I bought it so I would say buy it now. You definitely won't regret it. Would buy another if this one breaks.

A very solidly built unit which means that it will last - but the price of this is a unit which weighs in at 217g. Put it in a sock and you will not have any problems fighting off muggers, which is good because you would not be able to run away from them with this in your pocket.Takes some time to charge the first time so do not be surprised which it sits at 25% charge for a few hours before lighting the 50% light - but your putting in the power you will be using later, and there is a lot of it so expect it to take some time filling.Other slight grip is the cable provided is a minimum of 1/4 the length it should have been for convenience. But nearly ever one with a smart phone has lots of these cables knocking around - so no real problem.Overall I am pleased.

Early days as it only arrived two days ago, but so far it's working great. It arrived three quarters charged but I topped it up as the instructions said to do, which took about an hour. My Samsung S5 was on 73% but I charged it anyway as I wanted to test the Powerbank. I used the short wire that came with my phone and it reached 100% after about 45 mins, which is not much longer than charging via the conventional method. The Powerbank is about the same size as a long pocket diary, but it was definitely heavier than I'd expected. I plan to carry it in my handbag but this will definitely make my bag much heavier so I'll only take it when my phone battery is less than 50%. All in all I think I've made a good purchase, especially considering the price. £3Review

The Good:- actually slim and doesn't create bulk in your messenger bag or satchel- you don't need to "wake it" up for it to charge. Plug your phone in and it charges automatically.- excellent price point. Bought this for travel because I needed something cheap and compact- time it takes to charge your phone is decent, acceptable and around par with the other powerbanks I ownWhat could be better:- Aluminum case makes it slippery to hold and the case has edges that scratch things (rounded, plastic case power banks do not have this problem)- aesthetics and construction of the USB ports look poorly made (but has not failed me so far using it everyday)- takes long to charge the powerbank; likely you'll need to let it charge overnight to get it from 0 to 100%What I hate / dislike about it:None..

Got the portable charger in advance for a long flight as I have poor phone battery. I wanted to run a test before I used it so set about charging it up, it took about 6 hours to fully charge I then left it in the packaging for 2 days before I needed to use it, at some point since charging the torch had activated meaning that I was down to about 50% according to the lights. I was at 50% when I used the charger and it topped me back up to 100% in about 40 minutes and had 25% left so it should be capable of fully recharging my phone twice. Overall great quality and price it's both bigger and heavier than my Samsung s6 edge but thats fine by me come with a lead that fit my phone so no other wires requires. I would recommend.
