Syncwire 4-Port USB Wall Charger

What is it?

A charger that does what is says on the tin, allowing up to four USB devices to be powered simultaneously. Many households have become a haven for tech clutter, particularly charger cables, which are an inevitability given the sheer number of gadgets we accumulate over the years. Most of us don’t even remember what half of them are for, never mind if we even still own the device it plugs into. Syncwire has recognised the need to dispense with the cable spaghetti and bring order back to our lives with the release of the 4-Port USB wall charger. There is no great innovation or technical wizardry here; just common sense that has taken existing technology and scaled it to the level of demand.

Good points?

No set-up is required. Plug the charger into a wall socket as normal then attach a USB device when a top-up is needed. Although each port will charge any device, Syncwire has made two specifically for larger devices such as tablets that need extra juice to get back up and running as quickly as possible.

Bad points?

Samsung’s rapid charging technology is not compatible with the unit and there is no wireless charging functionality.

Best for ...

Those with more three-pronged plugs than they know what to do with. People who travel will also find the weight savings and simplicity a relief.

Avoid if ...

You are one of the few whose home isn’t a spaghetti-like tangle of cables.
