I am not entirely sure why a USB charger would be Christmas themed and surprised indeed that one would be sent to me for review after the festive season. In fact, it does not matter as this is an excellent USB charger, well made, robust and powerful.
We all probably now have plenty of similar wall chargers at home supplied with phones and other appliances but this new charger from Gvoo has more to offer than the basic rivals despite the budget price of £9.99.
Discarding the Christmas sleeve, in the rather plain inner product box was just the charger itself and a simple one-page User Guide, which has some useful information for those that need it. I enclose a scan of it at the end of my unboxing video.
This a four-port USB charger, what a pity there is no USB-C port, and according to the User Guide can output at up to 24W across three ports at 5V/2.4A per port maximum and to a combined maximum of 8. This exceeds the power output of most basic rivals and allows four phones to be charged together at full power. It will work with mains power of between 100 and 240V and will work with any UK socket. It has CE Certified Multi-protection and built-in overvoltage and overcharging protection. Build quality seems fine and nothing appears likely to break or fall off any time soon.
It should work with almost any Android or iOS device or USB powered electronic device. It should charge an iPad mini in about three hours and most larger capacity modern smartphones in two hours or less. It is small enough to fit into a pocket or travel bag and robust enough to survive life on the road.
If you need an inexpensive portable charger that will speedily charge a range of devices then this would be an excellent choice.
