WAITIEE Fast Magnetic Wireless Charger

Update: WAITEE emailed begging me to bump my 2-star rating to 4 or 5 because they "live or die by ratings." They offered to send me a free replacement for the one that broke if I did that. So I agreed, bumped it up to 4, and told them I'd bump it up to 5 after using it for a couple of weeks if it doesn't break again. That was over a month ago and I haven't heard from them. So I dropped their rating down to one star. Original review: When I opened the box I noticed the WAITIEE transformer block felt light and a bit flimsy. I already had an Apple transformer and power cord I bought with my phone which felt much more substantial. I used the WAITIEE Wireless Charger with the included transformer for a few nights by my bed; it didn't move from there; I just plopped it on the magnetic charger until morning. I really liked the magnetic charger itself; it felt well-made and seemed to work well. But then, on about the 4th night, it just didn't charge; the phone battery was dead by morning. I swapped the Waitiee transformer out with the Apple transformer and the WAITIEE Wireless Charger worked fine again. Then I used the WAITIEE transformer with the new Apple power cord and it didn't charge. It's clear to me as an old school electrician that the WAITIEE transformer was faulty. At the UPS Store making the return, I got a wild hair and asked them to weigh the two transformer blocks: the WAITIEE transformer block (black) and the Apple transformer block (white). If nothing else, the attached photos confirm that the Apple transformer weighs 50% more than the WAITIEE transformer. This, in addition to feeling more solid, like it just has more hardware inside. The electrician in me says the Waitiee transformer is made to much lower standards than the Apple transformer and simply burned up with a few nights use. It's hard to give a useful conclusion on usability after just a few nights, but here's my take: 9+ WAITIEE Fast Magnetic Wireless Charger: I'll give this high marks simply because I was so psyched to have it and didn't have it long enough to lose that tinge of joy. It functioned as hoped for those few nights. I was a bit disappointed to find the cord molded to the charger, but instantly understood why. I could ask that the cord, especially where it connects to the charger, be made slightly more robust. Yet, as said, it might have lasted years before the attached cord got any damage; I'll never know because of the failed transformer. 0- WAITIEE Fast charger transformer. POS. Hope this helps. - Bill
