Honest Review: STM Goods Chargetree Go White Portable Wireless Charging
Hi there!
As a tech enthusiast constantly on the hunt for efficient and reliable charging solutions, I was thrilled to receive the ChargeTree Go Portable Wireless Charging Station from STM Goods for review. Here’s my honest opinion based on my experience with this sleek and versatile gadget.
The ChargeTree Go arrives in neat packaging that clearly explains its functionality. Inside the box, you'll find the charging station itself, a USB-C cable, and a handy little pouch to protect the ChargeTree Go when you’re on the move. One thing to note, as with many similar accessories, it does not include a charger. To get the most out of it, you’ll need to use a compatible charger. I opted for the Anker 20W fast charger, which meets the minimum power recommendation by STM Goods.
For this review, I tested the white version of the ChargeTree Go, using it to charge my iPhone 15 Plus, Apple Watch SE, and earbuds.
First Impressions
Upon first glance, the ChargeTree Go is extremely well-built. Its compact design, combined with the stylish white finish, makes it a chic addition to any workspace or nightstand. One feature that particularly impressed me is the retractable Apple Watch charger. This thoughtful design element keeps the charger out of the way when not in use and easily accessible when needed.
While the Apple Watch SE charges perfectly fine for me, I did come across some reviews where users experienced issues charging their Apple Watches. In my case, I had no such problems. It’s important to note that this charger is designed specifically for Apple Watch, so it did not work with a Samsung Galaxy Watch when I tested it.
The setup process is straightforward. Simply plug in the ChargeTree Go, place your devices on the designated spots, and charging begins. The LED indicators provide a quick visual confirmation that your devices are charging properly.
Product Features
The ChargeTree Go offers several impressive features:
Triple Charging Capability: This charging station supports simultaneous charging for my iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods (or any other Qi-enabled earbuds). The convenience of having all three devices charging in one spot is incredibly practical.
Portable Design: The foldable design makes it easy to pack and carry. Whether I'm heading to a café to write or traveling for business, it fits neatly into my bag thanks to the included pouch.
Fast Wireless Charging: It delivers up to 15W of power, ensuring my devices charge quickly and efficiently. This is particularly useful for my iPhone, which reaches a full charge faster than with a standard wireless charger.
Retractable Apple Watch Charger: This unique feature adds to the versatility of the ChargeTree Go, allowing it to accommodate different charging needs without unnecessary bulk.
Stylish and Compact: The sleek design, especially in white, is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. It doesn’t take up much space, making it perfect for clutter-free environments.
Performance
In my experience, the ChargeTree Go delivers on its promises. Charging speed is great, especially for my iPhone 15 Plus. I appreciated the dedicated spots for the Apple Watch and AirPods, which are perfectly designed to make alignment effortless.
I also tested the ChargeTree Go with my Pixel Buds Pro and found that they charged without any issues. This flexibility in charging various devices makes the ChargeTree Go a versatile addition to my tech lineup.
Usability
Using the ChargeTree Go is incredibly simple. The plug-and-play nature of the device means there are no complicated instructions to follow. The LED indicators are a thoughtful addition, providing peace of mind that my devices are charging properly.
The foldable design is a standout feature for me. The ability to fold it flat and tuck it into my bag without any hassle is a game-changer, especially for someone who travels frequently. It’s lightweight enough not to add any significant weight, making it perfect for holidays or business trips.
Build Quality
The build quality of the ChargeTree Go is top-notch. It feels sturdy and well-constructed, which gives me confidence that it will last for years to come. The materials used are high-quality, and the overall design is both functional and stylish.
