What Redditors Say

Best praise vs top criticism for UGREEN 145W Power Bank

Best Praise
+5 pts
β€œBoth are extremely good power banks. I'm using the 145W one this very moment. For me, I prefer the flatter form factor as it's more pocket friendly. However, if I didn't care about that then I would go for the 200w version as a display which shows the current draw is surprisingly useful. The extra power would be nice too but frankly 145w is probably more than you need anyway.”
