Wireless charging is a trend these days. Domestic electronics manufacturer YENKEE, which recently entered the market with new wireless chargers, is well aware of this. And since two pieces arrived a while ago for testing in the editorial office, and as a true fan of wireless charging I took them on, now it's time to introduce you to what these pieces are like. So let's get to it.

I will be the first to introduce you to the YAC 5320 model, which is mainly intended for desks, bedside tables or generally for places where you can have it de facto permanently. This is a classic triple charging stand with an arm, on which you will find two magnetic "slots" for charging an iPhone or other smartphone via MagSafe (or magnetic attachment) and then for charging Apple WatchA charging point is then created in the charger base for AirPods, so if you have a model that supports this type of charging, you can be sure that it will work with this charger.
The output power of the smartphone charging surface is up to 15W, although it should be added in one breath that due to the lack of certification, you can charge iPhones at 7,5W - i.e. the standard for classic wireless charging. What about then Apple Watch, they have 2,5W available on their surface and AirPods (or anything else that supports Qi) 3W. Personally, I really appreciate that the manufacturer includes a power adapter in the package with the charging stand, and it's 35W. Thanks to this, there's no need to buy any additional accessories that would make the overall charging even more expensive. So I'm laughing at YENKEE in this regard, because this behavior is really not standard and I'm all the more happy about it.
The entire charging stand is made of black plastic. However, this does not have to be a problem in any case. The base is rubberized, thanks to which it is also nicely matte and velvety to the touch, the "leg" holding the charging pad for Apple Watch and smartphoneone it is then shiny and honestly, you can hardly tell it apart from painted metal. It took me a while to be able to characterize the material the leg is made of, which only speaks to how well the charger is made and how well designed it is. Honestly, I can't think of anything to criticize it for in this regard. MiniThe minimalist design combined with the neutral color just suits it. If you are interested in the dimensions, they are 158 x 110 x 147 mm and 342 grams.
And how is the charger in practice? I have to say that it is really good. Personally, I really like triple charging stands, because in recent years, after the introduction of MagSafe, I have become accustomed to putting my phone on my desk and AirPods are just for them. Lately I've been trying to charge them outside of the nightstand. Apple Watch, to at least take a little break from electronics. So the YAC 5320 has taken a very important place on my work table in the past few weeks. As for charging, it is completely reliable both in the case of the iPhone and i Apple Watch whether AirPods. It is also worth noting that the charger base is capable of actually charging not only AirPods, but maybe also iPhone, although it is necessary to take into account that charging will logically be slow due to the 3W output. But as an "emergency" it is definitely fine for me.
In the review, I must not forget one rather nice feature that will make it easier for you to check the charging. There is an LED strip around the perimeter of the base that pulses during charging and lets you know that everything is going as it should. Once charging is complete, the pulsing stops and you can remove the electronics without having to check their charging status on the display. In my opinion, this is a nice gadget, but if you don't share this opinion with me, it doesn't matter - there is a button on the charger that you can use to deactivate the LED strip and the lighting is suddenly there.
If I were to evaluate the charger in a few lines, I would not be afraid to praise it and recommend it for purchase. This is because, in my opinion, for a price of around 1499 CZK, you will hardly find a similarly good charging stand on the market capable of charging three devices at the same time, which has a power adapter on top of the package that can be used for a number of other things in addition to powering the charger. So the YAC 5320 definitely made a good impression.

YENKEE YAC 5330
The second "shaving master" in my test was primarily a travel triple charger YAC 5330. It is a modular charger in the style of MagSafe Duo, but it surpasses it in its charging capabilities. Although it also consists of two main parts, since one part can be divided into two, there are then three charging points available - specifically for smartphonesone, Apple Watch a AirPods or other Qi-enabled devices. The smartphone charging area is equipped with a magnetic ring, so you can attach it to the iPhone with MagSafe, or rather an Android phone with an additional magnetic ring, it will hold and not fall off.
While smarphone can be charged up to 15W via the charging pad (although iPhone se charges 7,5W, as the charger, like the model above, is not certified), for Apple Watch count on 2,5W and u AirPods then 3W. However, here too, a big benefit is that you get a 35W power adapter with the charger, so you don't need to buy anything else to operate it. The adapter is also relatively small, which is definitely useful when traveling, which is what this charger is primarily designed for.
As I wrote above, the YAC 5330 is a charger in style Apple MagSafe Duo. It consists of two white square bases that are connected to each other by a solid rubber. As for the flip-up part for charging AirPods, it is connected to one of the square bases by a classic solid "arm". What follows from this design? Mainly that the charger measures 83 x 76 x 24 mm when folded, while unfolded it measures 229 x 76 x 13 mm. So when folded, it is absolutely perfect for traveling, which I have tried out myself.
This summer, my girlfriend and I went to the Sunny Coast in Bulgaria, and since we didn't want to lug around any big suitcases that would delay us anyway at the airport, we decided to fly "light" with only hand luggage. Logically, we were quite limited in space, so the loan of the charger came in really handy. In terms of size, it takes up practically no space in the backpack, and what's more, it's also great that nothing sticks out of it when folded, so it won't "splash" on anything in your backpack. So you don't have to worry about having to struggle with the charger stuck in your luggage during the security check.
As for testing, it was actually running "at full speed" throughout the entire vacation and maybe even a little beyond. I tried almost all charging options, from "feeding" products one at a time to full load, and in all cases the charger stood up to the test with a star. The charging speed is definitely not disappointing and, most importantly, it works without interruptions or similar inconveniences. With a little skill in the form of the correct setting of the phones, you can charge two phones side by side at the same time - one on the smartphone pad and the other on the smartphone pad.one and one on the pad for AirPods. We used to charge like this every day iPhone 14 For a iPhone 13, with the phones always being on in the morning 100% charged.
To be honest, the YAC 5330 charger really won me over with its practicality. It's exactly the type of device that you just want to have at home and when you're going somewhere, you pack it in your backpack without thinking twice. The idea of a foldable charger capable of charging multiple things at the same time is simply great, and although this device won't look great on your desk because it focuses on functionality and usability rather than design (which isn't bad either, but the YAC 5330 simply doesn't win out over the charging stand higher on your desk), you shouldn't miss it at home. So miniAt least if you travel somewhere once in a while and want to simply have trouble-free charging taken care of. For a price of around 1000 CZK, there's not much to hesitate about.
