Anker PowerPort Atom PD 1 (30W)

For all devices NOT named “Nintendo Switch” - the Anker PowerPort Atom GaN. It’s compact, it’s designed to not heat up as aggressively as other chargers, and it charges up USB-PD devices impressively quickly. - Dave Pevsner

Editor’s Note: This charger is fine for the Switch in handheld mode. In docked mode, you’ll only want to use the official Nintendo power supply. 

I’ve been using the Powerport PD-1 for about six months now, and it’s the best one I’ve had. - sonicsean89 

RAVPower 61W Wall Charger

I have the RavPower 61 w GaN charger.I love that’s it’s so small and usually around $35-$45. - ThisisGeorge
The compact Ravpower 61W GaN is absurdly good, and it goes in my bag with my laptop. - mpelti

Anker PowerPort PD 2 (30W)

I have this.
And I’m not buying another for some time. I want a model that has 2 USB-C ports from a reputable brand. - BigJayDogg3
The Anker PowerPort PD2. I’ve found it on Walmart clearance as low as $15. It’s a great USB-C charger and I’ve got multiples in all of my travel kits. - dragonfli-labs

RAVPower 18W Dual Port Charger

Cheap, compact, extra port. - AP Hill

Anker 30W PowerPort Atom III Slim

Convenient behind a couch or bed, it’s great for carrying around in a bag. - Pleckthaniel Ugene Decksetter
This is the one. I have several others, and this is my go to for travel of any sort. It’s basically the best form factor with a plug that flips and less than half the volume of any of the others I own. - theredtape
