IKEA just made all fast chargers look way overpriced،

If you're looking for a reliable fast charger for your phone or tablet, you'll typically shop at an Apple store or a Samsung store if you want the original accessories, or at a big-box retailer like Best Buy.

But, among other things, IKEA just launched two new chargers that support all the latest fast charging protocols, and they are so affordable that it could have made all the other options on the market seem way too expensive.

These two chargers both carry the SJÖSS brand. You have the following two models:

30W 1-port USB-C charger for $7.99
45W 2-port USB-C charger for $14.99

Both can charge your phone, tablet, or most laptops, and they support all the latest standards, including Power Delivery (PD 3.0), Quick Charge (QC4+), and Programmable Power Supply (PPS).

A Macbook Air also charges at 30W, and most tablets achieve charging speeds lower than that.

Only a few smartphone models available in the US, like the Galaxy S24 Ultra and Galaxy S24 Plus, support faster speeds (both of these max power ratings are 45W). However, both of these particular models require 5A charging, while the 2-port 45W SJOSS option only supports 3A output, so keep that in mind. Another detail specific to the SJOSS 2-port charger is that if you use both ports, you get 22W power output on each.

So for most gadgets available on the market, these new IKEA fast chargers have you covered and are a lot cheaper than most other options on the market.

In comparison, Google's official single-port 30W USB-C charger costs more than three times as much, at $25. Samsung's 25W charging brick costs $20, and Apple's even slower single-port 20W charger also costs $19.

Chargers from other popular brands like Anker also cost about the same (the Anker 511 Nano 3 charger costs $25).

The new IKEA SJOSS fast chargers really are an incredibly attractive deal, and at these prices you might just want to buy a few extra just in case.
