Aukey has improved
In general, a compliment. Had bought a good two years ago an Aukey charger (in China directly) and this had besides a cheap processing also unstable materials. I have not used for a long time.
This one is a very pleasant to touch safe charger. Recommendable with two restrictions:
a) Two of the outputs are USB C - I had to expand my cable assortment a bit ;-) But USB C is definitely the future - but that's nothing new.
b) The charger, as well as it is controlled by the power controller, is also just a charger. That means if the cable, the plugs and the counterpart do not meet the standards PowerDelivery or Quickcharge, then it hardly charges faster.
As a peculiarity here comes to the fact that the 90W are only really achievable under very specific constellations. It has in the "manual" extra a quite extensive table, which shows which outputs may be occupied with which charging methods to achieve a certain charging level.
Who has devices with QuickCharge or PowerDelivery and takes into account the combinations. who gets a really great, qualitative charger.

PS: The device is really robustly built and Aukey Powet Controller takes its task seriously. I had to realize that my charging cables tw are no longer so great or were - since the controller takes away juice (safety first) and loads because slower. Already still impressive.Pro
- Better workmanship than 2 years ago
- Better materials than 2 years ago
- 2 USB C outputs - super convenient
Contra
- 2 USB C outputs - get used to
- Also only one charger
- 90W only when certain constellations are present
- You notice when you use worse charging cables
Very good
It does its job excellently if you keep a few things in mind.
For it to charge at full power (90W), only one USB-C port should be occupied.
It doesn't matter if there's another cable in the other port that isn't charging anything. So, for full power, all other cables out.
Each USB-C port can supply 90 watts solo.
If both cables are plugged in, the lower one supplies 60W and the upper (middle) one 30W.
Whereas the latter supports power delivery, the lower one does not. (at least it is recorded that way)
The USB-A port cannot supply 90W.
But all that is of no use if you use "any" USB-C cable. It has to be one that supports at least 100 watts.

Good, but misleading features
This charger reaches 90W by combining two USB-C interfaces (60+30W) and not on one. It will hardly be enough for a 14" which normally requires 65W. It would be useful to specify this. I would have returned it immediately if I hadn't thrown away the box.

Loads quickly once it charges
If several connections are used, one of them may no longer be operated. Or the connection switches back and forth between charging and not charging every second. The problem usually occurs when one port requires much less power than the others. When it works, the device is actually very practical. It's a pity you can't rely on it.
So olala...
All the "technologies" sound nicer than they seem. I have both iOS and Android devices. If I plug them in individually, they load accordingly. If I plug in both versions, the craziest things happen. (Charging mode switches on and off permanently or it doesn't charge at all or only one of the devices).
I wouldn't mind if fastcharging was deactivated when both systems are connected, but such unreliability is not suitable for everyday use.
I can only recommend this product to a limited extent.Misleading specs, paying for good reviews, randomly stops charging
It is a maximum 60W charger. 90W is the combined power output. Why is this not properly disclosed on product page!?! I see that fault with digitec for their superficial product description which is sometimes confusing at best and misleading at worst.
Aukey itself is dumpster fire with their incentives for positive reviews which got them banned from the money-loving immoral Amazon of all places. Let this be the last time I give them my money.
As for the product itself, it is supposed to pause and reset charging all devices when a new one is plugged-in for safety. However, it does not quite work they way it is intended. Sometimes it just stops charging one device altogether, sometimes it gets into a charge/discharge loop. So I suggest looking at a different brand for your charging needs.
