Starlight Retractable Car Charger with Retractable Cables, Starlight in Car Roof 4 in 1 Super Fast Car Phone Charger, 2 USB Ports Starry Sky Car Charger Adapter, Compatible with iPhone 15 14 13

Arrived Looking Crazy but Works Amazingly!
The first phot is how the box came when I opened the Amazon package. I know it goes through a lot of people and moving before it reaches me but I have never seen a box come in like that! Lol, that made me skeptical as it if it actually works but so far it does! I have tried every outlet and the lights that go on the roof and everything seems to work fine. I have a 12 hour drive on Sunday so that will definitely give it a more durable test which I will right an updated review then. But so far, box came crazy, but it works!

So convenient!
I love this thing! The cords retract & aren’t in the way. You can charge 2 things at a time!

Hinge is too loose
It works fine, the extra cords are nice, but the hinge is super loose. I have to have it all the way one direction or the other. One way blocks my heat/air controls, the other way blocks my shifter.Would be perfect if the hinge were stiffer or had snap points

Nice Product
The only disadvantages to this charger is it will run your car battery down if left plugged in overnight

I recently purchased a retractable car charger, and it has quickly become an essential accessory for my daily commute. The design is sleek and compact.The retractable feature is a standout. With a simple pull, the cable neatly retracts, keeping my car interior clutter-free. The build quality feels durable, and the charging speed is impressive—my devices charge quickly and efficiently.In conclusion, if you’re looking for a convenient, well-designed car charger that helps keep your space organized, I highly recommend this retractable car charger. It combines practicality with efficiency, making it a great investment for anyone on the go.

One thing I really like about this charger is the “window dressing”. It has a form factor that makes it look like it’s right off the dashboard of a star ship. It does absolutely nothing for its functionality, but it looks pretty cool!But it becomes moot once installed in my car because the 12v auxiliary power socket in my car is recessed under the dash and you can’t really see the charger body anyway. Just the face. One other issue, and this is specific to my car. The front cup holders are directly in front of the power socket. The socket itself is right between them. I had to unplug the charger in order to fit my large yeti tumbler in the cup holder. This may not be an issue for you. But again depending on where your aux power socket is you might experience something similar.And that brings me to my biggest gripe with it. The 180° swivel on the unit is loose. Loose enough that the weight of the charger itself is enough for it to drift over time. Even after using a precision screwdriver to tighten every visible screw the problem persists. And maybe that won’t be a problem for you, but if your Aux power socket is in the dash and not in the center console, this could negatively impact your experience.The voltage display is an interesting choice. I like most people know my car is a 12 volt system. And considering that a cars auxiliary power socket has a maximum current of somewhere between 12 and 20 amps there is little concern that you’re going to drain your car battery. Maybe if you we’re charging four devices simultaneously in the winter with the heater on. But this would likely be an extreme case. And obviously; don’t charge anything without the car running.Both the USB C and Lightning cords are flat and retractable and both worked just fine. even after several pulls. But it’s probably not a good idea to just let them “snap” back when retracting them. Doing so poses a real risk of getting whipped by them.We are an android family, so the lighting connection is only convenient for friends or other passengers that have an iPhone.Overall, the charger does what it says. But it loses a point because of that loose 180° swivel. The trade of here is that at the time of this review the charger is $19.99 CAD which makes it significantly cheaper than most of its competitors with the same capacity.Recommended with an asterisk.
