Wireless charging has come a long way, but cord clutter is still an inevitability, especially in high-traffic charging areas like bedside tables or work-from-home setups.
Thankfully, there are plenty of options on the market for cutting cords and maximizing the wireless capabilities of gear like smartphones, smartwatches, and earbuds. And if you’re an Apple user like me, you might need a multi-charger that can fully power Apple’s mobile trifecta: your iPhone, your Apple Watch, and your AirPods.

it is right here Lululook’s Ultra-Rise Qi2 Charger Like many stand chargers on the market, it has a raised, mobile MagSafe charger for the iPhone, an Apple Watch charger built into the back where the phone will rest, and, at the base, a wireless charger for AirPods. It’s a fairly common setup, and it’s certainly not innovative in terms of function.
But this is one of the best multichargers I’ve laid eyes on (and trust me, I’ve looked at a lot). It is not stark white or black which stands out in home decor, and it is long enough to rest perfectly on the side table without any obstruction.
Lululook’s Ultra-Rise Charger has a sleek, metallic finish that’s smooth and crisp to the touch. It is refined and polished, and looks like a real piece of hardware. Intentionally designed technology like this is appealing to me, and this charger blends in well.
Lululook’s multi-charger offers 15W Qi 2.0 fast charging, making it perfect for quickly charging my iPhone and Apple Watch. The wireless charging station for my AirPods also gets a lot of use. I haven’t noticed much difference in charging rate or speed between this setup and other Qi2 wireless chargers I’ve tried, and any heat generated from charging also appears normal.
I like that since it’s a stand charger, it has a little more room to work with while placing or holding my AirPods and Apple Watch. My Anker’s foldable wireless charger Easily moved around since you have to place either wireless earbud at an angle on the back of your iPhone.

The best benefit of using a standing wireless charger setup is that it enables standby mode for iPhone users, which is perfect for office or desk work (and watching, too).

Lululook’s ultra-rise charger is not compatible with the Samsung Galaxy Watch, but does support 15W fast charging for the iPhone series, 5W charging for most AirPods, and 5W fast charging for most Apple Watches (except SE). It comes in four different colors to match your look.
Price wise, this is not an unusual price. Right now, it’s on sale for $70 lululuk And AmazonWhich is decent when you consider that competing products from brands like Belkin, Nomad, and Anker often sell for more than $100.
Why do I recommend this product?
I generally recommend that if you’re going to spend money on a multi-charger, especially over $60, it’s worth looking for a charger that can be used at home and while traveling, so you don’t have to spend the extra money.
In this case, Lululook Charger Not made for travelling. It is a stand setup designed to maintain a fixed position on a tabletop, desk, counter, etc. This means that if you need an additional travel multi-charger, consider options like Anker’s Maggo UFO Charger or 3-in-1 Maggo Charger. Lululook also offers several travel chargers of its own, such as Ultra-Nano Qi2 Wireless Charger.
This charger may not be equipped for on-the-go use, but it’s definitely a must-have in my house. I like to keep multi-chargers in the busiest rooms (kitchen and living areas) and guest spaces. I think it’s a good move to provide a charger and ensure that no one is left without one (although this is unlikely in a tech journalist’s household). Now that I’ve had time to work with this charger, I’ll likely keep it in my kitchen for the perfect elevated charger and stand while following recipes or cooking videos.
