Our Favorite Wireless Charger Just Hit a New Low Price

The RAVPower Wireless Charging Stand (RP-PC069) emerged as the top pick in our recently updated guide to the best Qi wireless chargers, and it’s currently sitting at the lowest price we’ve seen. Although its typical street price is $35, Amazon has had an on-page coupon on it for a while. That coupon, combined with a recent price drop, brings the price down to just $28.

In his review, senior staff writer Nick Guy calls the RAVPower Wireless Charging Stand “the best option for anyone looking to wirelessly charge without having to buy any extra pieces like an AC adapter.” Nick continues, “Nothing we tested for this guide charges iPhone or Android devices faster than this stand, and it’s been certified by the WPC to be safe.”

Although this is as fast as wireless charging gets, wired charging is faster. As our review notes, “The fastest wired chargers are almost twice as fast, but the RAVPower’s performance was impressive when we compared it with other wireless chargers.” However, as someone who has several wireless chargers scattered around his home, I can say that you’re way more likely to keep your phone topped off when it’s just a matter of sitting your phone in a stand rather than fishing for a cable.

The RAVPower stand looks low-key, so it won’t be out of place at home, at work, or wherever you plug it in. Its green indicator light confirms that your phone is charging and shuts off when it’s done so you can tell at a glance when your phone is ready to go. The light is muted enough that it won’t keep you awake at night if your charging stand lives on your bedside table.

When it comes to the different styles of wireless chargers, we generally prefer a stand over a pad. Having the phone upright makes it easier to line the phone up properly and get it charging, and the positioning is convenient for seeing notifications or taking a video call.
