Also: This MagSafe pack is equal parts stylish and efficient - but I have one issue
This charger offers two mounting options: a highly effective vent clamp and an adhesive mount that uses high-quality 3M adhesive for a secure dashboard attachment. I've tested both methods and found them reliable.
The charger's adhesive mount.
There are three key aspects I consider when evaluating a car wireless charger:
- Ease of installation: The two mounting options included with this charger make installation straightforward, earning it a thumbs-up in this category.
- Performance as advertised: It is crucial that the charger meets its promised output, and this one does precisely that.
- Reliability: Many wireless chargers fall short here, overheating during prolonged use and failing. However, after logging several hundred miles using this charger, I've encountered no issues with this unit, which is a testament to its reliability.
The vent mount is one of the best on the market.
This wireless charger has impressed me so much that it has now replaced my older one -- an earlier ESR charger, which served me well for over a year.
's buying advice
The ESR Qi2 15W MagSafe car charger is as close to perfect as wireless car chargers get. The charger itself is sturdy and well-made, the magnets hold the iPhone in place securely, and the two options for mounting -- vent or adhesive -- give this a great deal of flexibility. And for just $19, it's an absolute steal.
