Now most of us have multiple gadgets that we use throughout the day so the need for a streamlined charging solution is now more important than ever. In this review, we got sent the STM Goods latest offering the ChargeTree Mag which is a 3-in1 charger that is designed to not only declutter your bedroom table but also provide a compact solution that will charge up your iPhone, Apple Watch & Airpods at once.
What is the benefit of a 3-in-1 charger well who wants to wait for one device to charge before they can plug in another or carry multiple chargers with them? So buying something like the 3-in-1 wireless charger is the answer.
First Impressions
The STM Goods ChargeTreeMag is a space-saving and portable 3-in-1 vertical charger that can charge your iPhone, Apple Watch & Airpods simultaneously from one charging unit.
The ChargeTreeMag comes in two colours – Black or White and is available for $99.95 from the STM Goods website. I did search on Amazon but could only find older models. In this review, we were sent the black version which fits in nicely with my work desk setup.
The ChargeTreeMag is compatible with iPhone 8 or later, all series of the Apple Watch and Airpods or Airpods Pro using a wireless charging case. The charger sits neatly on a flat surface when charging your devices and folds flat when not in use for easy storage so you can take it on the move.
When you unbox the STM Goods ChargeTreeMag they keep things simple and just provide you with the actual charger and a 1-meter charging cable (USB-C). This device is perfect if you are a consumer who just uses Apple devices. I found the ChargeTreeMag useful when using it in the office and then packing it away for a night away in a hotel or staying at a Friend’s house.
Design
In terms of design, this charging device is less than 200g making it very lightweight and in terms of size when in its upright position it is 12.6 x 12.2 x12.98 cm. When collapsed it measures 12.6 x 12.2 x 12.98 cm making it easy to store when not in use.
Something to consider you are not provided with a wall plug so need to buy one with a USB-C port as the charging cable is USB-C to USB-C. Also, the plug needs to require a minimum of 20W. As long as you have the correct adapter you should be able to simultaneously fast charge your phone on the front stand (Max 15W), and charge your Apple Watch (3W Max) using the swing-out arm. Then use the rear of the stand to charge a pair of Apple Airpods.
Performance
Once you purchase a compatible power adapter to charge your phone you simply need to open the ChargeTreeMag into its vertical position and simply stick your phone to the upright stand using the magnetic connection and you will see your phone will start charging wirelessly and quickly.
If you want to charge your Apple Watch, simply swing out the arm that is hidden away behind the vertical stand and put your watch around it. Last but not least if you want to charge your Airpods just pop them on the base of the ChargeTreeMag which is located behind the phone. All three have an indicator light to let you know which station is currently charging.
We have been testing this device for a couple of weeks and I have to say it’s an excellent option for those looking for a one-stop charging device for your Apple phone and accessories. The simple minimalistic design is very sleek and versatile. It’s perfect for charging all three devices at a very fast speed.
The lightweight and portable design makes taking this on a holiday or keeping it in your bag when you need to charge on the go. There is no need to carry multiple chargers or carrying cables.
Verdict
The ChargeTree Mag is a fantastic device for charging just one device or all three devices at once without the need for charging cables cluttering up your desk. I was also impressed with the portability of the ChargeTreeMag. My only negative when it comes to this charge station is they did not provide a power adapter especially when you consider the price tag.
Overall, if you can look past the lack of the 20W power adapter it’s a fantastic device that will save you space when charging all your Apple devices. So, if you’re looking to reduce the desk clutter and remove that potential nest of charging cables which will also reduce power sockets this is a good option to consider.
Overall Rating 4.5 stars
The ChargeTreeMag is available from Amazon for £89.99
