Shargeek idmix nomadiq 100W USB Power Adapters reviewed and tested

[@darko1996x]

I am really thankful you did a review of a Nomadiq charger. Too bad the voltage drops once you go full throttle otherwise it would have been a really good choice! Thank you for regularly checking comments and engaging with your subscribers.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Not a problem. Actually all the devices in this video were suggestions. Some took longer than others. Yeah, because it’s going to struggle on the actual USB side I can’t give the win even though it’s actually very close. They need to adjust that voltage up a bit and it’d be good to go. It’s really way beyond the other two adapters in this video.

[@nwlandas]

Great video. It’s always interesting to see which chargers are just rebranded versions with the same internals. Do you have a spreadsheet or ranking of the different categories of wall chargers (similar to your USB-C cable list)? Is going off of the PQS website a good start?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, PQS for now. My list of possible clones is a text file as of now. It's all about time to complete tasks.

[@yicheng-ng4jn]

I purchased SHARGEEK, the twill design is very special, the charging speed is also very fast

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks for sharing. Yeah, obviously lots of adapters out there with this design.

[@sandufane8546]

Your videos are amazing, thank you so much. Targus released an interesting 100w PPS UL certified GAN charger "PowerElite 100W GaN Wall Charger", it will be wonderful if you reviewed it, looks like it have a huge potential.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks for the suggestion. Yeah, that seems like a great one to check out.

[@masterjack8222]

you are the Project farm of the tech world

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

That sounds good to me.

[@mrgringo7289]

Found the baseus 100w gan3 pro for 37€ which i think is a absolute steal :)

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, that makes sense. Pricing on sale is the way to go.

[@plattrap]

Efficiency in the table of 0.91%? Or should it be 91%?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, 91% I didn’t even notice, this is why we have reviewers.

[@BienTambling]

Off topic since you might not be able to answer this if I commented on your older videos. I'm planning to get the Anker 736 Adapter to be paired with Anker 737 24000 MaH powerbank for my Steamdeck since it said to be the best of the best. I got confused on how or what is the proper way to charge the powerbank. Do I need to drain it completely then charge it to 100% or instead, do not charge it below 20% and do not charge it all the way to 100%%? Hopefuly I get a response because so far it seems you know a lot about these stuff. I apologize in advance if it might be a stupid question. Thanks!

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

For any power bank, if you limit the charge to about 80% of full and don’t discharge below 10% or so you can theoretically extend the life of the batteries. They will always degrade a little every time you charge cycle them but yeah on an expensive power bank like that getting more would be nice. I don’t think there is anyway to do that except set a timer or something to remind you to unplug it after a certain time. Any new comments go to the studio app on any video so I usually will see them if they’re first posts. After that, no idea what happens, haha.

[@BienTambling]

@@AllThingsOnePlace What you're saying here is that, don't charge the powerbank beyond 80% or to full charge and do not let it go below 20% it should atleast prolong the battery life? Did I get it right?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

@@BienTambling Yeah, 10% on the low end so you at least get 70% of the cell capacity. Once on a while when you need all the energy, fully charging isn't a problem. Keeping it fully charged all the time is generally worse for the battery though.

[@BienTambling]

@@AllThingsOnePlace so do I charge it atleast to 80%-90%?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

@@BienTambling 80% is a good target, like I said since it won't stop on it's own, it isn't going to make that big of a difference if it goes a little beyond that. The nature of a battery pack is that it will eventually stop working, use, charging habits play a small role but can make it last longer.

[@duynguyen-hy6ur]

I am using idmix 140w, this brand is so good .In my opinion,ít is better than Anker overall

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thank, yeah, I’ve looked at a couple as part of other videos, and one in a short. I still haven’t been able to get any of their larger adapters so still on the list.

[@tek2313]

I need your help which brand should I buy other than Baseus? I'm considering anything between100w-120w.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Anker, is a good 120W choice kind of an odd form factor though. The Belkin 108W is a pretty good option. Hyphen-X 100w?

[@tek2313]

@@AllThingsOnePlace Hi man, Thanks for the advice I bought the Belkin. However, I noticed that the cable that came with it is not grounded/earthed UK adapter and I feel static charge when I touch the body of the laptop. Can this be fixed by just changing the power cable with a grounded/earthed one?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

@@tek2313 Unfortunately, not with this one. The actual power adapter is only two pin so it doesn't have the earth connection option. Actually, most of the USB adapters don't have a connection unless they are 'laptop' adapters. Or, are larger and heavy desktop adapters, and then have a direct short to the earth pin which you don't want either. Still stuck in that there is no perfect power adapter.

[@vishantantil808]

According to you which is the best. 100watt adaptor to buy in india need one

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I honestly have no idea which ones are available in India. If you can get a Baseus or similar I’d give that a try.

[@manityjones7306]

Thank you again

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

This one was actually all viewer suggestions so thank you!

[@stellarproductions8888]

I think you are right. If you really think about it, these power adapters are manufactured in all things in one place.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, in general the race to the bottom is not great, but worse is charging more for a worse product. Made in I don't think matters at all, it's a global supply chain. But tested in might matter. I need to add the all back into the things in one place. It's been power adapters in one place for too long, haha.

[@DhanaHuru]

Audiobook level narration right here... No?!

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Also yeah it’s a little toned down for your normal KZbin content.

[@DhanaHuru]

@@AllThingsOnePlace It's a good thing. You should dabble in narration for audiobooks as well... You've got it.

[@didamnesia3575]

Totally agree. With some acting/voice coaching from a real professional that works in the business not some "local shmo" he'd have a long career narrating media. Voice is there

[@MBAPresents]

Great video. As always.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thank you for watching!

[@ClintMansell-vn8wu]

Here to vouch for the Nomadiq. Solid performance for this little beast. Will pick up another.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks!

[@lennarta4553]

I am very impressed with your Power Adapter tests. I have not seen anyone else who has gone so deeply and thoroughly in their reviews. For example was "power factor correction" an unknown concept to me, before I took part in your tests, very instructive! Finally one question: do you have any plans to do a review on the "AOHi Magcube 140W USB C Charger" with PD3.1? It looks promising on the specs and with it's compact design, but how does is it perform in reality?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, the 140w magcube just arrived for testing. No idea what to expect.

[@TeddKris]

I bought KM003C and Shargeek S100P last week and just found out that the spec sheet isn't always straightforward. USB C1: Fixed: 5.00V 9.00V 12.00V 15.00V 20.00V USB C2: Fixed: 5.00V 9.00V 12.00V 15.00V 20.00V PPS:3.30-11.00V USB C3: Fixed: 5.00V 9.00V 12.00V The manual says says C1/C2 output but in reality to utilize the full capacity i can only charge my 65W laptop on C1 and 25W Samsung phone on C2 and not vice versa. Still good though I think Anker 737 does best at this class *The web page does say 60W+30W on output specs

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

mmm yeah, I've seen mistakes in datasheets quite a few times, it's also led to me making mistakes in videos when I copy the mistake right into the video and clearly demonstrate it's wrong in the video, haha.

[@ruemignon]

I bought the IDMIX 100W but in a different colour, white. It cost me about USD 18.75 and I have been using it to charge my laptop, mobile phone and Apple Watch since February this year. Pretty solid adapter overall, nothing interesting, nothing to complain about. There are accessories like its guts-clone brother Shargeek that support global travel, but you have to pay extra bucks.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, the sale deal makes more sense on something like this... That basically covers the extra electricity cost over the lifespan of the product versus a more expensive Anker. The energy is still wasted but money wins.

[@rahulgarg44]

Great video as usual. Hard to keep track of so many clones. Also, can you review more Rocoren and maybe Voltme chargers ?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, I have the 100W Rocoren which was debatable for this video, it didn't make it because it is very different. It is 30w max on one port so lots of low power ports. Very different than the other 100w products. I also have some voltme chargers to review.

[@HoangPham-yx6gg]

Can you make a video explaining the symbols for the safety listing and what they mean?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, that's been on the to do list for a really long time. I need to get going on that.

[@TennesseeSlim]

Im not finding the review for the shargeek 140w

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I didn't make it because it is a clone of the many other 140W adapters I looked at. Performance is the same.

[@thebellyslap]

Interesting that you reviewed the Nomadiq unit. We bought half a dozen for our office earlier this year and they've been absolute workhorses for our staff. Charges MacBook Pro's, Dell XPS, Lenovo and all of our iOS/Android phones without any weird voltage issues. Thanks for the review though...interesting!

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Nice! It is good to hear it works with a lot of devices. I think it's one adjustment away from being a great charger, it'll actually gain a little efficiency if they boost the voltage a bit.

[@darko1996x]

The price too is very good. Around $40, not to much.

[@MohammedAli-mb6oz]

I've watched so many of your videos to see what's the best bang for my buck. I'm pretty impressed with anker that they are after all these years still among the best options. Also disappointed that no upstart has disrupted the space from the clutches of anker. I've been buying anker for over a decade because one dude one time told me they were the best, glad I've been making the right move all these years 😂

[@alx9r]

The failure rate of the Anker 717 is extremely high. That makes me apprehensive about their entire high-wattage lineup. I didn’t expect that obtaining adequate power adapters would be a challenge I face in 2023.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, Anker, like all companies, doesn’t always get it right. That’s too bad the 717’s are failing. I wonder what the failure mode is.

[@RedEyedITguy]

Speaking of Shargeek - do you by any chance know who they really are? I noticed that Shargeek and Hyacide have similar charging bricks and they both make a similar looking battery bank that's transparent and allowed you to see the cells and were also some of the first ones I've seen with an multi-color screen before the Anker 737

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I have it written down somewhere who the OEM is, but it's not confirmed. I did notice another clear one but it was really only a basic power bank, not a power delivery one so I don't think it's the same.

[@NoRegLegend]

Thank you for the video! Couple questions. Does the USB PD mean that the power is more consistent. I am looking for a laptop charger that can output a more consistent 100W to match my gaming laptop power draw. The main plug is a 200w barrel plug but offers 100W PD type c charging. Do you see any issues with battery lifespan when charging and using the laptop at the same time, assuming that most if not all the power is being delivered by the type c charging. Thanks again love to hear what you have to say.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

A laptop battery is pretty large so charging at 100 watts is probably not going to be much of an issue in terms of battery life. What sometimes happens with larger power consuming laptops is they will use some battery and the USB PD at the same time to keep the performance level high. USB PD doesn't mean the power is more consistent, it is a standard for delivering certain amounts of power to devices from power adapters and the negotiation required for that to happen. The standard does have voltage levels and limits for those. One thing about a lot of the 100 watt class USB power adapters is they aren't really made to do 100 watts all day and all night. They tend to over heat. If you really need 100 watts all the time I'd recommend sizing up the power supply a little. 150+ watts total capability.

I'm looking for a three port usb-c charger to charge my iphone, ipad pro, and apple watch. Im leaning towards the Nomadiq but hesitant because of the voltage issues.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

The Nomadiq does have high leakage current also, so probably not the best one, it is efficient but it the other issues kind of move it to a pass. I still like my Baseus 100W Desktop adapter and then also the Satechi 165W adapter I use a lot.

[@LyokoProductions981]

@@AllThingsOnePlace I would 100% go for either of the Baseus chargers if only they had 1 more usb-c port. I might go satechi then. Although there is a new adapter that came out 2-3 months ago called the Nomad 130W. Its a 3-port USB-C. If you ever do a review on that one ill be sure to watch it!

[@numberIII5243t]

@@AllThingsOnePlace Yup, only thing though is that it's not a Gan charger and probably doesn't have PFC. Looking at all those chargers you reviewed and ones I saw, value is extremely important.

[@shaysudman]

19.19V at a 20V PDO is perfectly within the PD spec. This isn't an issue

Yeah, 5% so 19 is the lower end. Got my wires crossed on that a few times in videos. Thanks for the correction.

[@willcastro4099]

Given the price and performance, I think the Nomadiq deserves a second look.

[@yellow2683]

Why does a 2.5A Input imply a lack of power factor correction?

[@cat-.-]

2.5A 120V is 300W, with 80% efficiency it implies 240W out w/ pf correction, which it is not, which means no pfc

[@yellow2683]

@@cat-.- ohh thank you

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, there is usually a little margin on those input current numbers too, but still it is way more than double the current required of about 1 amp with PFC.
