Bachmann NANO - 1x 230V + USB-C & wireless charging, pluggable black

An ode to the Bachmann NANO

Small in name only

Nano sounds like something you need a microscope to find. Yet the Bachmann NANO is quite a chunky thing on your desk: upright, with your phone held firmly on top. Big enough for a socket, a USB-C charger and wireless charging. Only the name turned out a bit small.

Why the Bachmann NANO?

Three ways to charge from one spot

The Bachmann NANO is a desk power socket with wireless charger that simply stands on your desk. You get a Schuko socket with earthing contacts (type F), a 45W USB-C charger and a 15W Qi2 wireless charger. Laptop on mains power, headset on USB-C and your phone on the charger: all from one spot.

Your phone stays in view

On the Qi2 wireless charger of the Bachmann NANO your phone is held magnetically, in portrait or landscape. So you can see your messages while your phone charges. Handy for a FaceTime call or a video meeting on your phone: the NANO doubles as your phone stand.

How to use it

Put it down and you are done

The Bachmann NANO is freestanding. There is nothing to drill, clamp or stick: you place it on your desk, bedside table or sideboard wherever you need power. The cables run out at the back, so your workspace stays tidy.

The connection

This Bachmann NANO is pluggable. The unit has a 1 metre lead with a GST18 plug. You click a 1, 3 or 5 metre connection cable with a mains plug onto it, which you can order with the NANO. If you already work with pluggable power strips or a GST18 linking cable, choose no connection cable.

Also worth knowing

Magnetic ring in your phone or case

The Qi2 charger of the Bachmann NANO holds your phone with magnets. For that, your phone or case needs a magnetic ring, for example a MagSafe-compatible case. Without a magnetic ring your phone still charges, but it is held less firmly.

Fixed cable or pluggable

Want to plug the NANO straight into a regular socket, without a separate connection cable? Have a look at the Bachmann NANO with a fixed 2 metre cable.

Pros and cons

• Phone in view while charging, portrait or landscape
• Socket, USB-C and wireless charging in one spot
• No installation needed
• Cables run neatly to the back
• Less ideal if your phone or case has no magnetic ring
• Less ideal if you have no GST18 connection yet and choose no cable

In short: the Bachmann NANO is a freestanding desk power socket with wireless charger. Important: phone or case with a magnetic ring, a GST18 connection or a connection cable.
