Hi friends! I just published my review of the Anker PowerWave II Pad. I’d love to hear your thoughts or answer any questions that you may have about the product!
PowerWave II Pad Review - We Love Testing

Hey @gobranj1 love the review.
One question, what is the charging input socket on the pad, USBC, Micro or something else?
All the best.
Nice review,
Wish only if these could use the USB-C input or even a MicroUSB - this is but may have been included to overcome charging inefficiency.
This is the only reason I will be staying away from the whole breed of DC Input socket devices.

I agree with you. I personally would have preferred a USB-C cable with a compact PD wall adapter in the box for better portability. However, I think the DC input can be a lot better for those who may not understand how to pair a wireless charging pad with the correct wall adapter. It works as it should right out of the box.
If I am travelling (while not in situations like the quarantine mode like these days 
) I take only 1 charger, may be PowerPort Atom III PD (2 ports - 60W) or Anker PowerPort Atom PD 4 (100 W) and use the wireless charging out of one of the ports on these …
But with DC Input, adds bulk to travel, additional power socket, high chances of losing / forgetting to take it while checking out of hotel 
However there is a market for any product out there… PowerWave Pad II is no exception, so some people may prefer this over my choices

Yeah that is a shame.
Having the ability to use and existing charger would make it much more flexible to grab and go.

100% agree with that, I thin it’s a surprising move.
And also one that pushes the price up when there are a lot of people out there with an adequate charger to power it.

It’s not ideal, but I would go so far as to assume that the PowerWave II Pad was designed for more stationary setups and likely wasn’t meant to be portable. I have the original PowerWave pad as well and I’ll probably use that one as a more portable option while keeping the PowerWave II at home.

Great review 
Nice detailed review.
You could install a 1 foot extension cord (USA) if you’d like to get that power brick off the socket or power strip. I got one these that comes 3 in a pack and the plug can rotate to your needs. I use them in tight fits. Very effective: https://www.amazon.com/Nekteck-Listed-Extension-Degree-Rotating/dp/B071KSM5DQ/
Good PowerWave review
