I feel cheated because they inflate the prices to make you feel like you're saving more. The following item has a list price of $29.89 if you don't sign into Amazon with your prime account.
But if you're signed in the list price is $85.99 with a prime price of $22.36. 74% savings? Hmm, not quite:

I have the one listed on Amazon with "Upgraded" in the title, and can confirm it works with Switch. I use an Anker Powerline+ USB C cable to connect the Switch to it. I have only had a concern with it one time. I charged my smartphone (LG G3) in the other port at the same time as the Switch, and when the phone was fully charged, the green light started blinking on and off on the charger. Green symbolizes quick charge. If it was blinking on and off, that tells me it got confused when the phone finished charging on whether quick charge should be active, and I have no idea if the energy it was providing was surging as the light blinked. I did not notice any issue with either device, but keep that in mind. Some comments on the charger indicated similar experiences, but the "upgraded" model per Anker was supposed to address that. When the Switch is charging by itself, I have not experienced any issues, and it charges fast enough to continue playing.
As a sidenote, I also have a Holsem power strip with USB ports on it. I have charged my Switch directly in it again using my Anker Powerline+ cable, and it also provides enough charge to continue playing, even when the Switch is low on power. Other brands may provide the same experience, but if you sit at a desk or near an entertainment stand when you play, you could plug directly into your power strip as well.
