Inside, you get the wall charger, a power cord, and USB-C charging cable. The svelte 15-ounce accessory feels very well-built, despite its plastic casing. We plugged in the maximum number of devices right away to see how warm it would get, and surprisingly enough, even after hours of charging, it was still very cool to the touch. What really sets it apart its competitors is its 60W USB Type-C port. In addition to laptops, tablets and smartphones, even the iPhone X and iPhone 8 can take advantage of the increased Power Delivery charging speed with a USB-C to Lightning charging cable.

Plus, you also get three USB-A ports with a charging output of 5V/2.4A and since the max output of this charger is 72W, 60W is reserved for the USB-C Power Delivery port, while the 12W of charging is available for the three USB-A ports. Even with four devices plugged in simultaneously, we did not notice much slowdown in charging speeds, if any.
