Dodocool QC 3.0 & Type-C Wall Chargers + QC 3.0 Desktop Charger - Unboxing & Review

Dodocool offers a wide-range of chargers and, in order to cover most of them, i decided to review one charger for each category in order to cover most of them.

As a Wall Charger, i choose the Dodocool Quick Charge 3.0 DA67WEU with 1x QC 3.0 USB port and 1x 5V/2.4A USB port.

As a Desktop Charger or Charging Station, i choose the Dodocool Dual Quick Charge 3.0 DA67WEU with 3x 5V/2.4A USB ports and 2x QC 3.0 USB ports.

While as a type-C Charger, i choose the Dodocool 45W Type-C Power Delivery DC58WEU with 1x Type-C port up to 20V/2.25A.

I wanted to review also a Power Strip, but apparently with the EU model there is a design issue with the Power Switch so i had to skip it.

Unboxing

All chargers come in a nice eco-friendly packaging with no USB cables included (at least one would have been appreciated) and an Instruction Manual.

As regards the build quality, both Wall Charger (Quick Charge and Type-C PD) feature a nice and solid chassis with no annoying glossy parts.

While the Desktop Charger, unfortunately, is almost entirely glossy with the only matte part being the one on the back for the power plug. Still, the same high-quality plastic has been used also here.

Starting from the Wall Charger, on the front there are 2x USB Ports, 1x Quick Charge 3.0 and 1x Standard 5V/2.4A. Of course on the back there is the power plug, in my case, an EU plug.

On one side all specs are written, slightly hard to read in photo due to reflections.

Compared to another wall charger reviewed a while ago, this doesn't feature a foldable power plug so it isn't super-compact, but considering the power it needs to handle, it is still really compact (59.92x55.06x2.97mm for the body) and weights 97g.

The Desktop Charger instead features 3x 5V/2.4A USB ports + 2x Quick Charge 3.0 USB ports on the front, and the power plug connector on the back.

It is as big as most multi-USB chargers, probably not too much considering the high power output: 9.0x7.0x2.72cm with a weight of 225g.

Finally, the Type-C charger that seems to be the most bulky one, with a size of 6.62x5.56x2.79cm. That was expected since it must handle 45W (2.25A) at 20V. It isn't light neither, with a weight of 121g.

It features a Type-C port on one side with a nice PD indication and an useful, but not too-bright, blue power LED on the front.

Efficiency and Power Meter

All stress-tests have been done using my semi-professional USB Load tester in order to stress all internal components to the maximum and check the quality. For those interested in a picture of it, it is the one below.

The Wall Charger is a little beast, able to push up to 2.92A (over-specs) on the standard USB 5V/2.4A port before tripping the over-current protection.

While the Quick Charge 3.0 USB port is even better, reaching 5.39V at 3.00A for maximum efficient even with some USB cables that might not well-suited for this power (high AWG ones)

Testing different QC 3.0 devices, i wasn't able to find any issue related to unstable power output or too-low voltage. Perfectly working with no efficiency issues.

Apparently the Desktop Charger shares the same Quick Charge board components or at least seem to provide the same exact power output as the smaller Wall Charger.

As regards the standard USB output (5V/2.4A), there seems to be some differences, with the over-current protection not tripping at >2.92A, and an overall slightly higher voltage on high-load.

Last, but not least, the Type-C PD charger. This is a bit difficult to test because i don't have a PD device that supports over 12V of voltage, so as soon as i get one, i will extend the review.

As a standard USB charger, the power output at 5V/3A is decent, slightly below 5V but still perfectly compliant to USB standards.

Used as a PD charger instead, it is the most efficient one, with the highest voltage output. Wouldn't have expected something worst from a dedicated high-power charger like this.

Valid for all chargers: I wasn't able to notice any noise even under high-load from any of these chargers, confirming that high-quality components have been used.

Conclusions

Considering the level of perfection found for all chargers, it is pretty hard to write some conclusions about them. This doesn't mean that there they are perfect, that's obvious.

I would have appreciated a Power LED for both Wall Charger and Desktop Charger, something useful to find the charger in low-light environments, and a matte surface for the Desktop Charger since, in my opinion, a glossy plastic surface shouldn't be used for anything that gets in contact with hard materials like metal (the USB plug for instance).

Other than that, there is nothing else i am able to complain about these chargers. Just choose the one that meets your requirements and you won't regret it if, as i always say, you can't find anything better for the same price ;).

Pros:

- Stable and Powerful Power Output

- Solid Plastic Construction

- Silent under high-load with no buzzling noise

- Power LED (for the PD charger)

Cons:

- Annoying Glossy Surface (for the Desktop Charger)

- No Power LED (for both Wall and Desktop Chargers)

- No USB Cables included

Rating: 8.6
