When Twelve South confirmed that it was bringing the Valet to the UK this month, I wasn't surprised by the price attached, but that didn't stop me raising an eyebrow at it. Twelve South makes some of the best tech accessories in the business, but it's long priced them at premium and ultra-premium levels, and £179.99 for a wireless charger is still pretty out there.
In terms of raw specs, the Valet makes no economic sense, in either of its size variants. You get a single Qi2 charging puck, capable of wireless charging speeds of up to 15W, along with another USB-C port if you want to run a cable out for more passthrough charging (although the two won't work at the same time).
