Magnetic Suction Car Phone Holder CZ16-1 (Black) Review
Introduction
The CZ16-1 Magnetic Suction Car Phone Holder promises a secure and versatile solution for keeping your phone within easy reach while driving. This review delves into the performance and practicality of this magnetic car mount, evaluating its claims of strong magnetic force, 360-degree rotation, and easy installation.
Features
The CZ16-1 boasts several key features designed to enhance user experience. The double-sided absorption, powered by what the manufacturer calls “electrically-powered intelligent vacuum suction technology,” is a central aspect of its design. This, combined with the 360-degree rotation capability, allows for flexible positioning of your phone, regardless of your preferred viewing angle. The advertised ability to hold 5kg is impressive, suggesting a robust and secure hold for even larger devices. The inclusion of a Type-C charging port for the internal battery is also a welcome feature, ensuring longevity. Finally, the ease of installation and removal was a key selling point.

Performance
I tested the CZ16-1 over several weeks, mounting it on both my car’s windshield and dashboard. The initial setup was indeed straightforward, and the magnetic force was surprisingly strong. My phone, a fairly large Android device, remained firmly in place even during sudden braking and sharp turns. The 360-degree rotation worked flawlessly, allowing me to easily adjust the phone’s orientation. The battery life proved to be quite impressive; I only needed to recharge it after several weeks of consistent use. However, I did notice a slight decrease in suction power after a few weeks of use, which required a quick reapplication of the vacuum to restore the optimal hold. Additionally, while the mount worked well on both smooth surfaces, it adhered slightly less well to the textured dashboard compared to the smooth windshield.
One minor drawback was that the magnetic force, while strong, could occasionally be a little too strong. Removing my phone required a slightly firmer pull than I’d anticipated, and I did worry about potentially scratching the device’s casing.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Strong magnetic hold, 360-degree rotation, easy installation, long battery life, versatile placement options (windshield, dashboard).
- Cons: Suction power may decrease over time requiring reapplication, potentially strong magnetic force could scratch devices, slightly less effective on textured surfaces.
Final Verdict
Overall, the CZ16-1 Magnetic Suction Car Phone Holder is a solid option for anyone seeking a secure and versatile phone mount. While the minor drawbacks regarding suction power and potential for scratching are worth noting, the strong magnetic hold, ease of use, and long battery life make it a compelling choice. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a reliable and convenient way to mount their phone in their car. The minor issues are easily mitigated with proper care and attention.
