I'm hoping I'm an outlier, and this isn't the normal experience, but I wanted to share mine. I bought this in Nov 2022 (time of writing is early June 2023). The cable worked great for about three months, and then it only works if I hold it at a very specific angle (tried other cables, and have no issue with any of them). The screen is great, and it's a great tool to see how fast your phone is actually charging, but I wouldn't recommend using it as a daily cable. I reached out to Mcdodo on their website, and never got a response as far as if I even had a warranty/ what my options were. I really wanted to rate it 5 stars, because of how much I loved it, but it's near unusable right now, and that was only after a few months. UPDATE- The company reached out to me and sent me a replacement. I'm keeping the original text for posterity and transparency, but I wanted to say that they were great at helping me out, so I'm changing it to give stars.

3 years. it was great for 3 years, I fly drones and recharge a crap ton of batteries. it was accurate, and I used this specific cable A LOT !!!but it is now not reliable anymore. thats a good run, buy it !

This has become my go-to tablet charging cable for my normal desk setup. It's nice, feels heavy duty, but has good flex still; connectors are durable and secure. Power transfer is great from all the tests I've run. Most of my devices are lower power, but for the stronger PD ones I've used with it, it handles the higher flow like a champ. My only gripe is the accuracy, someone else had mentioned in the Questions about calibrating because theirs was reading about 50% off, and I can confirm mine has a similar issue. I've got several pass-thru power monitors that I've used for years are trust pretty highly, and they confirm that this guy reads higher wattage. For example, I have a battery that can input/output at 45w PD, and this'll read between 65-70w with it. The other monitor will confirm that it's only passing about 43. But, even with that, it at least gets you in the ballpark and shows you power is flowing, so when you're dealing with flaky ports or powerpacks and just want to know am I in slow-mode or fast charge, this can still tell you. Just don't bet your paycheck on the actual NUMBER. But regardless, dang it charges fast, and I haven't had any extreme-heat issues with it at that rate.

Works as advertised with the cable read out swapping back and forth from voltage to wattage. Do do mid the amps reading as I hang them other devices. It’s still a great product to use of your into that kind of thing to know what devices take on during the charge cycle. I’ve only used it to online 6 pro and iPad Pro which draws about 25W. I would like to try making it charge up to it max rating.

Now let's get this clear. There is a similar cable from this same brand that I bought and it's still working fine. The plugs are shaped slightly differently, but it's the same general design. Upon receiving this (presumably premium) cable I was happy that I'd be able to monitor the wattage going to my phone to charge it, especially on the car charger. The first few weeks we'd be easily able to plug our phones in and get them fast charged via the charger with this cable. The other similar cable is being used for Android auto. After those first few weeks, I noticed that my phone, as well as my partner's was making the charging connection sound a lot on drives. I first thought maybe the charging ports had become filled with dirt and crud on the phones, so I cleaned them, to no avail. I also noticed a severe drop in the charging wattage going to either phone. I started thinking it was the car charger, so I switched the cables around for a day. The swapped cable worked fine, but now this cable which was now doing Android auto, kept disconnecting the phones from Android auto. Imagine losing your navigation in the middle of a 65mph busy highway. It was clear that this cable was the problem. After switching them back and trying this cable in different plugs. All the results were the same. Very unstable connections and low wattage when charging. This has caused my phone to die a few times when using it heavily because the cable is neither connecting nor providing enough wattage to charge the battery. I sometimes have to jiggle it to get a connection or I put the phone at some odd angle and this even is temporary. As such I've just removed the cable from the vehicle and am getting better results with a super basic one.

I’ve used this charger cable before and I love it, but it doesn’t fit the new case for the iPhone 17 Pro. Beats case.

I really loved the cable as it gave me a good indication of watt draw for each of my devices. It worked well and did provide up to 100 watts of power according to the lcd display to my laptop. However, after one year and one month exactly, the cable no longer charges devices. The lcd side usbc connector intermittently glitches out and got very hot! I was afraid that it may damage my tablet. I also tried to charge two other devices with the same symptoms. Overall, the cable is awesome and worth the money. Only negative is the durability and reliability of the product. I will be purchasing another cable from another brand as I enjoy the use-case of these type of products.

I barely used it for my galaxy S10+ and I loved it until it just stopped charging fast. It would charge un to 12w with my good charging block and now it only charges at 2w. It also no longer recognizes being plugged into my Cadillac so my android auto doesn't activate.
