Pros and cons

Pros
  • The format is genuinely convenient — a magnetic wireless face for cable-free iPhone top-ups plus built-in cables for everything else.
  • Owners who get a good unit say it charges the phone faster than the battery drains and holds several charges.
  • The magnetic hold is reported as strong enough to use the phone while it charges.
  • It is compact and cheap at around $20 for a mid-size capacity.
Cons
  • The 3.5-star average is the headline caveat — a meaningful share of buyers had a worse experience than the positive review summary suggests.
  • Capacity is unverified and, in this segment, usually below the label.
  • Wireless charging is 7.5W to an iPhone and loses efficiency to conversion.
  • No brand, no warranty, no support.

The review

Design and build quality

A compact slab with a magnetic wireless face on one side and two short cables that tuck into channels on the body, plus a USB port. The all-in-one format is well thought out for a go-bag. Build quality is the unknown — the mixed rating suggests it is not consistent from unit to unit.

Setup and ease of use

Snap it to the back of a MagSafe iPhone for wireless charging, or pull out a built-in cable for a wired connection. Recharge it through a cable or the USB port.

Performance

Usable capacity, wireless and wired speed, heat and hold are the measures. Hold is reported as good. Wired speed via the built-in cables is basic. Wireless is 7.5W to an iPhone, with conversion losses. Usable capacity is unverified and likely below the 16,800mAh label. Heat is not documented.

Compatibility

Not compatible:

Durability and warranty

The mixed 3.5-star rating points to inconsistent reliability, and there is no warranty or brand support to fall back on.

Price and value

At $19.99 on Amazon (checked August 26, 2026), it is cheap for a mid-size magnetic bank with built-in cables.

The value depends on getting a good unit, and the 3.5-star average says that is less certain than with a branded bank. If it works, it is a lot of convenience for $20. If it does not, there is no recourse. A branded Anker or TORRAS magnetic bank costs more but removes the gamble. We would call it a fair buy under about $16.

A branded magnetic bank like the TORRAS MiniMag costs more but removes the reliability gamble. If you do not need the magnet, the Anker 10K is a proven wired option. Prices are Amazon figures from August 26, 2026.

Who should buy it?

Buy it if
  • You want a magnetic wireless face and built-in cables in one cheap unit.
  • You are willing to gamble on getting a good one for $20.
  • You mostly need convenience rather than speed.
Skip it if
  • You want a proven, warranty-backed bank.
  • You want fast or efficient charging.
  • You need the capacity figure to be accurate.

Final verdict

The 16800mAh Magnetic Power Bank has a genuinely useful format: a magnetic wireless face for cable-free iPhone top-ups plus built-in cables for everything else, all for around $20. Owners who get a good unit are happy with it.

The 3.5-star average is the reason for caution. It says a meaningful share of buyers had a worse experience than the upbeat review summary implies, the capacity is unverified and likely inflated, and there is no warranty. Its 3.4 score reflects a convenient format on an inconsistent product. A branded magnetic bank costs more but takes the gamble out.

Frequently asked questions

About 7.5W to an iPhone, with the usual wireless conversion losses. Use a built-in cable for faster charging.

It is not independently verified, and unbranded banks in this segment usually deliver less than the label.

A meaningful share of buyers had a worse experience — early failure or lower-than-expected performance. The star average weighs those in.

Only via a stick-on magnet ring for wireless, or the built-in cables for wired charging.

No warranty is stated and there is no brand behind the listing.

A branded bank (TORRAS MiniMag, Anker) costs more but removes the reliability gamble. This is the budget bet.
