Did you consider another Ugreen product before? This has longer wires for better reach.

The price is not as "logical" compared to the Prolink 100W Desktop Charger which is certified by SIRIM...

UGreen never have SIRIM certification...

UGreen used to be the "popular" electronic accessories (thanx to paid online Influencers...) but ever since they jacked up the price almost 2 times from the launching price, me never can give viable reasons on "influencing" friends to get UGreen stuffs...

Almost twice the launching price...Kalah harga rumah property...LOL...

Now, me sold all UGreen stuffs to neighbors and friends at 50% from current market price which is the price me bought a few months back...kind of "pulang balik modal"

Thanks for sharing. Didn't know that. Makes sense.. If this is the case, might go for the Prolink 120W with a 2M wire for reach.
thankyou

Yea, we were lucky to get it early before the price hike. I guess the chip issue also affected the GAN chargers cost...

Right now I'm also looking at the kind of table top desktop charger... Sometimes those cafe wall plug really quite loose. This heavy charger is not suitable for loosened wall socket.

The 120W not with SIRIM certification? I checked, the Prolink 120W same price as the Ugreen 100W.

Would you recommend the Prolink 100W or 120W?

That 120W is plugged directly to wall outlet... the 100W has 2m power extension...

All Prolink accessories are SIRIM certified (unless not stated...)

These kind of power strips are scary because the cord is usually substandard.
Minimum regulations for the cord (on a power strip) should be min 1.25mm² cable thickness based on the power strips with SG Safety Mark here.. those with substandard cable cannot pass

Wow, didn't know this thread actually exists over here.
Ya, I do feel like Ugreen accessories price jack up quite alot in recent years.
Their brand become pretty well known nowadays. Chip shortage and inflation, but double the launch price is blood sucker lol.

Compare to prolink, Ugreen actually pretty well known among ppl.

Usually I will compare Anker and Ugreen for charger. Ofcoz Anker is a lot more expensive.
I have a 60W 5 port USB-A charger bought it 5 years ago. Still rocking.

Right now, we are transitioning into USB-C charger. Maybe in 1 or 2 years I will upgrade to USB-C charger. Since most of the mobile devices are going to use type-c in the future.

This time will definitely consider Prolink.

I use a Baseus 100W Charger, could be considered

Mine is the "Gan2" one which has 4 ports and uses a 2pin plug
its fine, only downside is it will block the next outlet that's beside it
Unless you have a device with an ultra slim plug (like those that come with kdk fans), then it manages to fit perfectly under it
