out Dave Taylor here and I have my 2017
0:14
Mazda and it doesn't have a lot of cable
0:17
plugs so it is fairly inevitable that I
0:21
am driving with my kids or with my
0:23
friends and multiple people want to
0:25
charge their phones at the same time so
0:28
we have a plug that gives us one but
0:31
what if multiple people want to do it
0:33
you probably experience the same thing
0:35
and then what do you end up doing you
0:36
like take turns getting a little bit of
0:39
charge which is kind of frustrating on a
0:41
really long drive that's probably going
0:43
to work but if you're just going for 5
0:45
or 10 minutes and someone wants a boost
0:47
and someone else wants a boost and you
0:49
want a boost what are your Solutions
0:52
well enter this this is the joyroom 69
0:57
watt 4in one retractable car charger and
1:02
is pretty sweet because it has two
1:05
retractable cables one of which is USBC
1:09
one of which is lightning they have
1:11
another version that's two USBC cables
1:14
and then on the other side it has
1:16
another USBC and a usba port so if you
1:22
bring your own cables you can use those
1:24
two and if you forget all your cables it
1:26
has built-in cables and I just want to
1:28
show you they get pretty pretty long
1:30
this a
1:32
31.5 in or 80 cm and then you just give
1:36
it just a slightest of extra pulls and
1:39
then it retracts right back in really
1:42
really handy now let me give you some
1:45
electrical characteristics so as I said
1:47
it's a overall 69 wat charger so the
1:51
lightning cable is a PD 38 W charger the
1:56
USBC cable is a PD 30 wat USBC charge
2:02
and then the ports the USBC Port is 15
2:07
wats and then the usba port is 12 Watts
2:12
so add all those numbers up you should
2:14
get right around 69 Watts the point
2:16
being that there's enough power in this
2:19
base unit that you can have multiple
2:22
things charging and it's not one of
2:24
those where well when you're charging a
2:26
second thing they're both going slower
2:28
and when you're charging three things it
2:30
goes even slower that's not what this is
2:32
doing it has plenty of wattage to drive
2:35
all of those charges
2:37
simultaneously and between QC for quick
2:40
charge and PD for power delivery it also
2:43
speaks the latest protocols to make sure
2:46
that your phone or your tablet or
2:49
whatever device you're charging gets the
2:50
maximum possible wattage now one more
2:53
really cool
2:55
thing is that it actually has a hinge so
2:58
you can plug it in in at various angles
3:01
so that your 12vt car cigarette lighter
3:05
adapter is however it's positioned you
3:07
can plug it in and then tilt it to get
3:10
it at the optimal angle to work with
3:12
which is really nice so there's the
3:16
explanation you've seen a couple of
3:17
closeups let's jump into my car and let
3:20
me show you how it works we're in my
3:22
Mazda and as you can see there is a 12vt
3:25
plug here so I'm going to plug it in and
3:28
then tilt it up up so I can see what's
3:32
going on and now I have devices so we'll
3:36
start with this which is
3:38
USBC and I'm going to go ahead and plug
3:41
in my Apple iPhone so we'll plug this in
3:45
and it's charging so now we're going to
3:49
take the other cable and this is
3:52
lightning so this one I'm going to plug
3:55
into an old
3:57
iPad and let's have a look
4:01
so that one's also now charging so we
4:04
got two devices charging I'm just going
4:06
to try to keep things neat here and then
4:10
let's see so now I
4:13
have a USBC to USBC cable so I'm going
4:18
to plug that
4:19
in and then we'll plug in one more
4:22
device and this let's see we'll we'll do
4:24
this one so this is a Google pixel
4:27
phone and on the bottom it sure enough
4:30
says charging so at this point I have
4:34
all three devices charging
4:36
simultaneously and I could plug in a
4:38
fourth device and charge that too but of
4:42
course I brought the wrong cable into
4:44
the car so we're going to just stay with
4:46
three but now let's actually work our
4:49
way backwards and do some cable
4:51
retraction so first off I'm just going
4:54
to unplug the pixel and move that out of
4:56
the
4:57
way and then I'm going to unplug the
5:00
iPad and so you just give it a little
5:03
bit of a pull and then it retracts so
5:06
we'll move the iPad out of the way and
5:09
then we're down to my iPhone which is
5:11
still charging away and now I'm going to
5:14
unplug that and again now we have this
5:17
cable but if I pull it out just a little
5:20
bit then it actually retracts all the
5:24
way and there we go nice and neat and of
5:28
course because it has that ability to go
5:31
in at different angles I could plug it
5:33
in sideways and tilt it this way if I
5:35
was so inclined so lots of variations on
5:39
ways you can do it and it works and it
5:43
gives me the ability to do a whole lot
5:45
of charging all at once very nice now
5:48
let me jump back on camera it is really
5:50
nice to have the option to charge a
5:52
whole heck of a lot of devices
5:54
simultaneously I promise you that this
5:56
will cut down on all the arguments your
5:59
kids are having about who gets to charge
6:01
on the way to school and such you're
6:03
like look we got enough we can charge
6:05
everyone huzzah and then you can have
6:07
them argue about something else been
6:10
there done that but importantly this
6:13
jewelry room is a really nice simple
6:15
elegant solution and its actual size
6:18
it's one of the very smallest out there
6:20
that offers you four different charging
6:22
options that's a lot you might find that
6:26
all you are using is just one and maybe
6:28
you're just using the retractable USBC
6:30
cable and that's enough for 99% of your
6:33
uses but every so often it's nice to
6:36
know you have the option of having more
6:39
things plugged in or charging more
6:41
devices now whether you need lightning
6:44
and USBC or two USBC retractable cables
6:48
that's a function of the devices you and
6:50
your friends and family have probably I
6:53
would go for the 2
6:55
USBC but again make your choice it does
6:58
come in five different exciting colors
7:02
it comes in black gray dark gray pink
7:06
and red so lots of different options
7:09
there they all have the same basic
7:11
functionality it's a pretty darn sweet
7:13
device and this is a great thing to add
7:16
to a car if you have a lot of people
7:18
that are going to be wanting to charge
7:20
their devices I am going to invite you

7:30
and give me a thumbs up if you found
7:31
this of value and of course I hope you
7:33
did excellent this is the joyroom 69
7:37
watt 4-in-1 retractable car charger the
7:40
version with lightning and USBC is
7:45
2399 currently minus 30% dropping it
7:48
down to
7:50
$679 at amazon.com if you want to go for
7:54
the two USBC retractable cords that one
7:58
is also
8:00
$23.99 currently discounted 15% dropping
8:03
it down to
8:06
$20.39 choose the one that works the
8:09
best for your world I do have some
8:12
people that do have lightning connectors
8:14
on like old iPhones and such so this is
8:17
a good choice for me but in the future I
8:19
think USBC is going to be the way to go
8:22
with that one usba port as needed anyway
8:26
that's what I got I need to jump back in
8:28
the car and get back to
8:30
charging so I'll hope to catch you in my
8:33
