This is a nice but bulky and big car charger. The thing I like most is that the cables are built in and are retractable. But for our sports car it is a bit too big and we mostly use it just when we go on long journeys and it does the job. It charges quite fast for a car charger and has extra spaces for your own cables. Very convenient and if you have the space quite good
When I ordered the ‘Gwydre Retractable Car Charger, 4 in 1 Fast Car Phone Charger 60W’ I already had a perfectly decent car charger. My mag-safe phone holder has a USB-C port – however myself and my wife both have iphone 11s so need a lightning port.
This phone charger knocks the socks off of any phone charger I have had before and is the charger that now stays in my car.
The charger arrives well packaged in a card box, and it is evident straight away that this is not a light charger. The charger flexes at the top of the stem. The inbuilt cables are both the ‘flat’ type and pull out and retract with ease, they stop out by use of a ratchet system. It also has an additional USB-A and USB-C socket on the charger itself equalling 4 outputs in total. Build quality is excellent.
For those with sensitive accessory sockets you can flex the neck to that it rests against a surface if you wish. My accessory socket is very sturdy and this charger is a nice snug fit inside.
Once plugged in and powered the socket shows current car voltage to the socket. You can pull out the required lead to whatever length you like.
In many weeks of use this charger has been excellent so far, it has not failed – even once. Bumpy roads, accidentally knocked – it stays put. WIth the retractable leads it stops the rats nest that happens sometimes with multiple devices.
At a price of 24.99 this is worth every single penny, and if this ever fails I will buy another one. You get a charger and 2 leads all in a really tidy package. This is probably the most no-brainer review I have ever had to write. I can understand that this would not be perfect for all – definitely consider the size before you buy, but if size is no issue this is a great choice.
This car charger is a notable addition to my vehicle, providing a clutter-free way to charge multiple devices simultaneously. The retractable cables are a neat solution to avoid tangled wires. The ability to adjust the length and angle makes it versatile for passengers in any seat. It charges devices efficiently, making it a must-have for road trips or daily commutes. The charger fits securely in various car models, staying in place even on bumpy rides.
This Gwydre retractable car charger is a game-changer!
It has 4 ports (1 iPhone, 1 Type-C, 2 USB) to ower up driver, passenger, and devices simultaneously.
It istangle-free, cables retract neatly, no more messy cords in your car.
Rotates and extends to reach any position for comfortable charging. Supports a variety of fast-charging protocols for speedy power boosts.
Fits most cars and securely plugs into 12V-24V vehicles, stays put even on bumpy roads.
This charger is perfect for families or multi-device users who value organization and fast charging.
The Gwydre Retractable Car Charger is my go-to for keeping devices charged on the go. With retractable cables and a 4-in-1 design, it’s super convenient. The 60W fast charging ensures my devices power up quickly, and it’s compatible with a iPhone 15. A reliable companion for staying connected while on the road.
Quite a bit bigger than I expected, but this has not been a problem for its installation in the car. The long connection cylinder prevents it from bumping into any areas of the car, as it’s usually a bit tight in there. It doesn’t feel light and low quality, but well made, with good materials, so it feels robust.
I love the fact that the cables are included because otherwise there are always loose cables around the car that end up getting damaged and lost. The retractable and retaining system works very well, allowing it to be left at the desired length. We cover a wide range of USB-C and lightning devices. And if we need any other type or several of the same, we have the output ports to connect another cable.
It also has a small display that indicates the voltage, it reads very well.
This is a great charger for in car use, with plenty of options and can keep you car free of the clutter of charging wires.
The key feature of this charger for me is the Lightning and USB-C cables that are built in and retractable. When not in use they simply disappear inside the body of the charger, making your car tidier. When extended, the cables have a ratchet lock, so they dont pull themselves out of your phone.
There are also an extra pair of sockets to use with your own cables, one standard USB and one USB-C, so in total you can have 4 items charging simultaneously.
The only real downside to this item is its size. It is very bulky compared to much simpler products, and the layout of your own car may well be the deciding factor in whether this is a product that will fit or not.
If you have the space, for me this is a five star product.
I do like the idea of this charger and I have it currently in a large 4×4 car I feel like if it was in a small car it may take up space and you should note the space you have around your cigarette lighter. It can be angled to suit if needed.
The leads work fine and suit me as I have an iPhone and my partner has a google phone so we can charge both without issue.
I do like how it lets you know the battery voltage it’s nice to see.
It seems to charge the phones at a reasonable pace for a car charger.
The leads come out and retract nicely as you would expect.
At 24.99 I think it’s a little expensive you could buy a small twin usb cigarette adapter and put the cables from home in it for a fair amount cheaper but for convenience you have them in the car so you pay the price.
I hope this review has helped
Gwydre retractable car charger is designed for vehicles that have cigerette lighters built in. The unit provides USB charge to your portable devices, included is a double retractable wires for USB C and also Apple Lightening connector. In addition to that there is also two built in usb A & C ports. Finally there is a small numeric blue light up display showing Voltage. The top part tilts forward and backwards 180 degrees adjusting the angle for your need.
I really like this car accessory for charging my mobile phone etc, bottom line is: it’s fantastic! The retractable cables keeps the car tidy and only shows the cable when I need it, grab the require USB port and plug and charge, no more looking for wires. I actually use an android phone and my wife is an Apple user (iPhone 14 pro max). It can charge both our phones at once. granted its not high speed charging. Also it can be a little bulky as the 2 cables (80cm each) is retracted into the housing, for me it looks fine in my VW polo as the cigerette lighter is positioned central.
One thing I find a little pointless is the Voltage meter, some may find it useful, personally I would have preferred it to display output watts to the charging devices. Apart from that, this really is a must have accessory for car users.
After several weeks of testing, I’m delighted to share my positive experience with this car charger. Initially, its size may seem bulky, but its functionality quickly overshadowed any initial concerns. And thanks to its 360 and 180 rotating head you can easily position it conveniently.
Equipped with 4 USB ports, this charger offers unparalleled convenience. I am using it to power various devices simultaneously. From wirelessly charging my mobile holder to keeping my wife’s iPhone juiced up, and ensuring the kids’ tablets stay operational during long journeys, it’s proven to be an essential companion for keeping everyone content.
One standout feature is its rapid charging capability, facilitated by the PD port’s impressive 3.2A output. Additionally, the inclusion of two retractable cables—one USB-C and one for iPhones—has eliminated cable clutter in my car, enhancing its tidiness and functionality.
In conclusion, this charger has exceeded my expectations, providing fast and efficient charging for multiple devices while maintaining a clutter-free environment in my vehicle. It’s become an indispensable accessory for anyone on the move.
The “Retractable Car Charger” from “Gwydre” is a well-designed and relatively good quality charger for use with charging mobile phones and the like. Essentially the charger has a built-in retractable USB-C cable (for charging your Samsung phones and similar) as well as a lightning cable (for charging iPhones etc). This is then plugged straight into your in-car cigarette lighter/DC adapter.
The charger also has a USB input and a USB-C input on its uppermost surface to allow you to charge other items and devices as long as you have the correct cable for doing so.
There an LED panel on the surface which illuminates with a reasonably bright blue informs you of the voltage being utilised. This is also a handy little visual to help you locate your phone or the charging unit whilst driving in the dark.
The overall build and manufacture of the charger is of a good standard. You can feel that it’s of a good quality when handling the charger. The multi-positional neck on the charger ais also strong and robust, whilst allowing you to position the charger right where is convenient without obstructing your gear stick or any controls on your car.
The two built-in charging cables are an excellent length when retracted, which allows you to easily put your phone up on a holder whilst charging and then retracts into the unit when not in use.
All in all I’m incredibly happy with this in-car charger. It absolutely meets all my requirements and makes for a fast and easy way to keep your phone charged whilst driving. Recommended.
The retractable cables are a stroke of genius, eliminating the hassle of tangled cords and providing a clutter-free charging solution in my car. The 60W fast charging capability ensures that my devices power up quickly, making it perfect for those times when I’m running low on battery. The inclusion of both a Lightning and Type-C cable is incredibly thoughtful, catering to a wide range of devices, including the latest iPhone models and Galaxy devices. This versatility means I can charge multiple devices at the same time without the need for additional adapters. The build quality of both the cables and the USB car charger is excellent. The retractable mechanism works smoothly, and the compact design makes it easy to store when not in use.
The Gwydre Retractable Car Charger came well packaged in a cardboard box.
By no means this can be called compact, its pretty big for a car charger but to be fair it does a lot more as well. This is a super fast charger and that too in a car. And the best bit it has 2 retractable cables (1 x USB C & 1 x Lightening) already built in and if you have more gadgets to charge, you can make use of extra 1 x USB C & 1 x USB A slots using your own cables. For most people the built in 2 cables would suffice. Good thing is they are retractable so they dont create a mess and just hide inside the charger. The charger itself can also be rotated at any angle to adjust to your requirement. This is heavy and seems well built.
A car charger that works well & does lot more than a conventional car charger.
Gwydre Retractable Car Charger
Flexible car DC converter, which provides both USB-A & USB-C ports and two in-built lead for USB-C and lightning.
Things to consider
– at 14cm long it does stick out, but has a rotating joint so you can angle to suit
– metal body makes it robust, weight is 160g
– the retractable leads are ~80cm long, and lock in place at intermediate lengths, rewind is smooth
– supports up-to 60W, with one the USB-C lead providing 18W, lightning lead 12W
Tried this in the car today to charge an iPhone using one of the in-built cables, and it worked really well — just push the charger into the cigarette lighter socket, then you’re good to go.
The charger has a hinge so can be folded partially (see photo), and, as it’s in a cigarette lighter socket, can be swivelled 360 and the combination of these means you can put it at the most convenient angle for your use.
That said, the actual charger part is pretty bulky. I guess it’s necessary for the retractable cables plus all the electronics that make it work, but when your cigarette lighter is between the gear stick and the handbrake in the car, it is difficult to find the optimum angle so that it doesn’t interfere with actually driving the car.
The retractable cables are maybe about 50cm long (I didn’t measure them), and are very flexible. They are of the type where you pull (gently!) to the length required and they lock into place so that there’s no strain on either the charger or your device. When you want them to retract, another gentle tug and the lock is released and they slide easily and neatly back into the charger.
In theory, you can charge 4 devices simultaneously, but you’d need separate cables for two of them, but if you keep this in the car, you’ll never need to have a flat battery for either Apple devices that use a lightning cable or others that use a USB-C one.
Love the idea of this, and it works a treat, but I’ve knocked one star off for being awkard to fit between the gear stick and handbrake, so for anybody else considering this, I suggest you check the size and measure up your car!
This 4 in 1 fast charger (for use in a car) is equipped with a connector for iPhone/tablet, then another for Android Type-C phone/tablet.
then a further USB port 2.4A and a PD port 3.2A, and charges faster than other models, to meet the charging needs of 4 people at the same time.
This car charger even removes the problem of tangled and messy charging cables. I absolutely love the way the cable ‘pulls out’ for charging up to 2 devices for, perhaps, passengers in the back of the car, and then when finished, the cable(s) retract back into the unit again.
Truly very neat and innovative.
It is compatible with a massive amount of phones, tablets, notebooks, see manufacturers large list,
and the makers say the charger will not pop out even when driving along bumpy roads, I can see this is certainly the case, as the unit feels so solid.
I have included some images to show how useful this excellent (car use) phone / tablet charger is.
Every now and then something new and exciting shows itself, and this really is another of those items with great design, and of course a voltage display too, to monitor the current voltage of your car battery.
The charger even tilts (at the half way point), to allow your charger to fit (and be viewed) perfectly in your vehicle.
My new car has usb-c ports but sadly these are useless for anything that needs pd power so i grabbed this.
It’s quite large but since my 12v socket is somewhat hidden away it fits well for me. I have 2 usb devices that take the usb ports like my previous charging plug but now i have an extra 2 retractable cables so i or my passengers can charge their devices too. Well thought out and it works so can’t complain.
