For $45 on Prime, this is an absolute steal, at least into the first day of use.
Pros:
-6 devices can be charged at once. The main focus is on IPhone, but Android devices can be charged as well.
-Great for nighttime charging.
-Cord ports are 10W each. It's not a fast charger, Android Wireless is faster, but for nighttime charging Apple devices, it is.
-30W for the total unit which can easily charge 2 apple phones/tablets, 1 airpod set, and 1 apple watch easily.
-All settings can be adjusted for the clock brightness and the base lighting as well.
-Bluetooth sync for the clock is simple and very effective. Even has manual adjustment giving you options should the time somehow be wrong.
-Works with charging through thin cases. Thicker cases might be a problem. Cannot confirm.
-Indicators to show when a device is charging, with icons to indicate which charge station is in use.
Cons:
-No temperature if a device is charging on the flatbed. Don't know why this is the case and seems silly despite being in the instructions.
-No am/pm for the clock. The time can be changed to 24 hour, but the lack of am/pm feels lazy, especially since many clocks have that functionality.
-30W of charging. While it is a pro to charge many devices, if all ports are being used(all 4 wireless chargers, and 2 cord chargers)then the power will need to be shared, causing overall slower charging. For nighttime this is not an issue, but for shared households, this can be a problem. You would need double the wattage to charge all devices at once at max speed and don't forget, you also have to account for max brightness on the clock, and the lighting at max brightness as well.
I can still highly recommend it at $45 for its versatility and just works utilization, but if you push it to its limits, expect charging to be slow.
If the same device had up to 75W of output to account for the entire unit, then it would be perfect, but I cannot complain with what's here for the value.
