Third Party USB C Wall Chargers

[comptr]

Hi I have been looking for a third party USB C Wall Charger. I see that Best Buy is now offering one that works with the 2016 & 2017 15" MBP TB Models. Has anyone bought one and does it work well ? Here is a link to it: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-type-c-wall-charger-black/5880500.p?skuId=5880500

Is the cable detachable from the power supply? I’m not completely familiar with the OEM set up, but I think I would want something C to C. This doesn’t look it and looks proprietary. I’d want to be able to use the charger for other things like iPhone X fast charge.

No the cable is not detachable, but it does support up to 90 Watts.

That’s my point. I would rather have a brick that can charge a few different devices. Such as the ability to use a USB C to lighting cable for your phone or iPad.

So I ended up buying the Insignia Charger found it at my local Best Buy for 40.00 open box, going to give it a try have 2 weeks to return it if I don't like it or it does not work. I will make a update post, letting you all know how it works.

This one is appealing to me because the cable is detatchable (included), it can be used for other purposes (like fast charging the X/8/8+) and it's $22 bucks.

So I tried it out and it works. When I looked under system report power it showed 90 watts.
