If you are looking for an easy to use, high quality, no fuss, plug it in and go solution to check the power on your USB C devices then we’ve found the solution for you. The Plugable USB-C Voltage and Amperage Meter is one of those rare products that does what it says on the box. It just works.
When tested on a PC, several different power supplies, chargers, phones, cables, SSDs, and more it never failed to give accurate and useful information. We tested it up to 130 Watts with no problems. It worked bidirectionally, so if you have devices like power banks that can both give and take power through USB C you can see that here. A small button on the side of the device rotates the information display so you can view it no matter which side of the meter you are looking at.
After using this meter for a week it’s hard to find any faults. If there is one tiny rough edge it is that the meter can be a bit wide in size to fit next to the USB ports on some devices. This was easily solved, however, by moving it to the other end of the cable and away from a cramped plug in space. If you need this kind of device you can stop your search and just go buy this one. Really.
