It took some time but I was able to test this charger for a multitude of devices before giving my review/impressions. I was asked to test this item and give an honest review.

Packaging is clean and minimal. Comes in a beige/light brown box, inside you get the charger, a 6 ft usb c to usb c cable, manual. The cable is nice, it's thick and has a velcro strap for cable management, which is nice.

Initial impressions is that it's solid, well-built. The prongs fold into the charger, which is nice for portability, and the cable not being attached to the charger means extra portability for using other cables as well.

I was able to test this on various devices. It does fast charge the iphone 8 series phones using a usb c to lightning cable. It also fast charges the ipad pros as well, which is nice. In addition, I was able to charge the 12" macbook at OEM speeds (this is a 45w charger), and I even was able to charge a 2nd gen chromebook pixel. While the Google charger is a 60w charger, this 45 w charger did a good job charging as well. The charger did become warm while charging the pixel, but the cable remained cool at both ends, and no harm was done to any devices.

In addition, I was able to charge a Nintendo Switch with no issue even while docked, and it fast charged a google pixel smartphone as well with no issues.

Overall I'm impressed with this charger, as usb c becomes more standard, this charger provided flexibility across a wide range of devices and the quality is top notch imo. I would not think twice about using it for my devices.
