A Distinctive Little Thing, the Cuktech 10 Ultra Charger

Preface

Recently I installed Linux on Jige's laptop, and it's been a blast to use. But my previous unboxing-article workflow was all on Windows (including Light Room for photo editing, Starblog Publisher for posting, and so on), so this one got delayed by a few days again 🐦

Today I'm introducing the Cuktech charger I bought at the beginning of last month.

Speaking of which, I mentioned this before in A Few Useful "New Items" I Bought in January 2025: after watching a video by Bilibili creator Pang Tong, I really wanted the "Anker 140W charger" recommended in the video. It has a small screen and looks great too.

But this thing costs over 200 yuan, and I never could bring myself to buy it. Even though resourceful netizens can always snag discount prices of just over 100, I never caught a single deal...

Lately, with charging multiple devices—studio, office, home—I've had different chargers sitting in different places. After forgetting my charger a few times, I didn't want to keep carrying chargers around everywhere anymore 😂

So the idea of buying a charger came up again. While talking it over with a friend, I mentioned wanting the Anker 140W, and they recommended the Cuktech 10 charger. It's 20W less than the Anker, but much cheaper, also has a small screen, and can even connect to the Mi Home app. What more could you ask for?!

Ordered it right away! Snagged it on JD for 172 yuan~

Arrival

I'd seen people online who were obsessed with all kinds of chargers, with hundreds piled up at home, and I couldn't understand it.

But after I first held such an exquisite charger, I started to somewhat get that hobby. This little thing is really finely made, haha—solid and hefty.

PS: The original photo wasn't edited well, so I just had AI redraw it. Super useful 😄

The Back

The back has a bit of an export-product feel, but if you look closely it's all in Chinese, haha 😄

Unboxing

The package contents are pretty simple: the charger itself plus a relatively short charging cable.

The Unit

Laid flat

PS: The aperture on this photo seems to have been opened too wide—the edges aren't even clear 😂

I touched it up with AI, and it looks much better

Three Type-C ports and one USB-A port, so it can charge four devices at once.

In Use

It works really well. Here's how it looks when powering a laptop.

Using the App

After connecting with the Mi Home app, you can view real-time power.

There are some simple settings below, like USB-A low current, which is suitable for charging small gadgets like earphones.

There's also a power curve at the bottom—not really useful, just looks nice.

Wrap-up

I've been using this little charger for over a month before I even noticed~

It feels pretty good, mainly because it's convenient. One charger can charge four devices, which saves a lot of outlets 😁

And support for various protocols is pretty good too. In my testing, even Huawei phones, which have the most closed-off protocols, can still fast charge 😮

Of course it's also a great fit for charging an iPhone~

But the heat is really something. The output clearly isn't high, yet it still gets very hot. For example, I'm writing this article on my laptop right now, and I checked the real-time power draw—only 20W—but if I touch the charger, it's scorching! 😑

Hope they can improve the cooling performance in the future.

That's all. See you in the next article~
