Prime Charging Station, 240W 8-in-1 Power Strip, 2 AC, 4 USB C | 2USB A, 5ft Detachable Extension Cord with Multiple Outlets for iPhone MacBook, Desk Accessories, Home Office(Not for Travel)

I finally replaced the tangled mess of charging cables at home—and Anker’s desktop charger, along with its accompanying data cables, has completely cured my charging anxiety! The multi-port design of this desktop charger is incredibly practical, offering enough total power to charge every device in the household simultaneously at full speed. The included braided cables are built with robust materials—far more durable than standard TPE cables—and show no signs of cracking even after repeated bending. The reinforced design at the connectors is a thoughtful touch, ensuring a rock-solid connection when plugged into a phone. The stand is angled just right, allowing me to use it as a phone holder for binge-watching shows while charging; plus, the ventilation ports prevent the devices from overheating. The overall craftsmanship is exquisite, and the aesthetics are top-notch—it serves as a stylish yet practical digital accessory on my desk. Anker truly lives up to its reputation as the gold standard in charging technology; this shopping experience gets a perfect score!

Anker is a known and trusted brand in my opinion. When I saw this “power station” while looking for a good multi USB charger I immediately took interest because it was an Anker product. Upon receiving it, I began to really see the use cases and various applications I could utilize it for. The actual AC wall plug is a bit bulky and larger than I anticipated but does correlate to the 240W charging capabilities. The ability to detach the (bulky) wall-plug portion is very handy as I will be using this as a travel charger for work. To many times I have been in a hotel and wishing I had a short extension cord to be able to plug multiple things in closer to the bed or desk. This solves THAT, plus the hassle of having to carry multiple power bricks for the multitude of devices that I carry and use daily! What’s even better is that this power station will automatically throttle power based on the device that is being charged!! Need a high watt charge for an iPad? DONE! Need a lower watt charge for a mouse or keyboard? DONE I highly recommend downloading the Anker mobile App!! It uses WiFi and/or Bluetooth to connect to your phone wirelessly for added functionality and features. In addition to monitoring real-time power usage, you can set timers (like sleep timers) for each USB port AND THE AC power outlets as well! There is a lot of other information and additional features within the app that make using the power station even more practical! (Pro-tip: you can even turn the display off!) As with every Anker product, it is a bit on the pricier side, but the quality of the products is (in my experience) always very high! I wish there was an option/setting to make the screen automatically scroll through the three information screens so that you can monitor everything without having to press the button or use the app. So far I am really impressed with this product, and I have already recommended it to a friend who is a commercial airline pilot that travels a lot and he has already ordered one!! I will update this review as I use it more, but extremely happy with it so far!!

The Anker Prime 240W station is one of those desk accessories that quietly solves three annoying problems at once: scattered chargers, inconsistent USB-C power delivery, and the “octopus” of cables that makes your desk look like a networking closet from 1999. Anker’s build quality is exactly what you expect—dense, clean, and pleasantly over-engineered. It doesn’t flex, rattle, or feel like a generic power cube pretending to be premium. Everything sits in a compact block that stays put and doesn’t slide around when you plug something in. In daily use, the power delivery is stable across all the USB-C ports, even with multiple high-draw devices running at once. Laptops charge at full speed, phones top off quickly, and it doesn’t run hot enough to make you question your life choices. The two AC outlets aren’t replacements for a real surge strip, but they’re perfect for a monitor or a low-draw peripheral. It’s also genuinely desk-friendly—no buzzing transformer noise, no random coil-whine, and no “maybe it’s fine?” electrical odor you sometimes get with cheaper hardware. This is a device you set once and forget, which is exactly what we want from desktop power gear. It’s worth noting that this is not a travel charger—Anker literally says so, and they’re right. The detachable extension cord is bulky in a “this lives under a desk” sort of way, not a “throw it in a backpack” way. But for a workstation, studio desk, or home office where you want fewer chargers, fewer cables, and fewer headaches, this is one of the cleaner power solutions you can standardize on. If your desk is currently powered by three random brick chargers and a surge strip from the Clinton administration, this is a very real quality-of-life upgrade.

Smartest device charger I have ever come across! It will analyze your device and give it the juice it needs, for the fastest charging time. Wifi connected with an app to control all features. Incredible charger for all USB C & older connections. To get the most from this device you should purchase high fidelity (new higher life form) cords too!

I bought the Anker Prime 240W Charging Station specifically for an upcoming cruise. My plan was to use it to turn the limited cabin outlets into a massive hub for all my gear. While the performance is flawless, the physical design makes it completely impractical for travel. The Good: * **Insane Speed:** This thing is a powerhouse. The 240W output is genuine—I can fast-charge my laptop, phone, and watch all at once without any drop in speed. * **Great Port Selection:** Having 4 USB-C ports, 2 USB-A ports, and 2 AC outlets in one device is amazing. It really does clear up the clutter of having multiple bricks. * **The Display:** The little screen that shows real-time charging wattage is a very cool feature that lets you know exactly how fast your devices are pulling power. * **The Hub Itself:** The actual unit that sits on the desk is sleek, slim, and very attractive. The Bad (The Dealbreaker for Travel): * **The "Hidden" Brick:** While the charging station itself is thin, the power supply is **not** built inside it. There is a massive, heavy power brick bigger than an old-school laptop charger. * **Not Portable:** Between the thick cables and that giant power brick, this takes up way too much real estate in a suitcase or backpack. **Verdict:** If you want a permanent charging station for your desk or nightstand, this is a 5-star product. It’s powerful and looks great. But if you are like me and bought this hoping to take it on a trip, a cruise, or to a coffee shop, **look elsewhere**. It is simply too heavy and cumbersome to be a travel companion.

I picked up the Anker Prime Charging Station because I needed something with more capacity, especially one that could handle both USB charging and AC plug-in devices. This unit delivers on both fronts with a sleek, well-engineered design and seriously capable specs. It features four USB-C ports right up front, which is fantastic for modern charging needs, and it also includes two USB-A ports discreetly positioned on the right side, which is perfect for legacy devices. On top, you'll find two AC outlets that can be individually actuated with a dedicated power button. There's also a side-mounted button that toggles the display view, giving you real-time status at a glance. Anker offers a $200,000 connected equipment warranty, which tells me they are confident in their product’s protection and reliability. The charging station itself feels solid and well-constructed. The AC adapter is a bit bulky, but that’s understandable given the power this station can support as it's built to handle multiple high-demand devices simultaneously. This is the kind of product I trust with my laptop, battery packs, and phones, especially in situations where power stability is a concern. While Anker notes this isn’t meant for travel, I’ve still brought it along on personal and work trips when I’ve wanted the security and convenience of one charging hub. It’s not ultra-portable, but it’s powerful, safe, and incredibly useful. Highly recommended.

The Anker prime charging station is fantastic and easy to use. First off it’s listed as not for travel probably due to the weight which is about a pound, but we use it when driving and traveling to older bed and breakfasts that do not have many outlets. This lets us plug up all our phones and tablets in one spot. It has a built-in search protector so I actually use it around the house as well to charge up our devices, game, controllers, and headphones. I really like that it shows you how much wattage is being drawn by each device hooked up to USB – C. There are four USB-C slots, two regular grounded, plugs, and some of the older USB slots on the sides. The device has been very reliable and works great.

This is a unique product in terms of what you get for charging. You have USB-C ports, USBA ports and two 120 volt ports as well. And it can charge a seriously high speed. I used it to charge my Anker portable battery at 140 Watts and it works like a charm. It charges my phone with super fast 2.0 at 45 watts flawlessly and charges my HP PC at between 100 and 130 Watts, and you can use multiple ports together at very high speeds. You have connectivity through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and you can control the type of charging on the outputs if you wish. The control is extremely granular, something that you don't see in other chargers. It offers an awful lot for the money, and I'd get to see any issue with it with one exception . If you're charging a device and you plug another device in it stops the charging on all devices and resets, which is no big deal, but nevertheless it will interrupt the charging cycle momentarily while it resets to accommodate the additional device that just got plugged in. The cable between the wall plug and the charger is a monster, designed to handle 15 amps at 120 volts... It's thick and heavy. The wall plug adapter is as well very large and very heavy, nothing that I wouldn't have expected though. This thing is designed to run a toaster and charge your devices all at the same time, and it's typical Anker quality, really top rated stuff. I feel comfortable and secure knowing that this thing isn't going to blow up on me or catch fire. It's not cheap but you can often find it on sale and it's well worth the price. It's not really very portable, but it does make for a fantastic stationary charging station.

By far the best charging station I have ever purchased. Let's me check on the progress of items that are charging and has two outlets. Very useful.

Fantastic charger, runs my laptop, S25 ultra, Garmin watch and anything else simultaneously. Can track power usage and adjust the profiles of the ports for priority.

Why buy this? Everyone has a multitude of AC and USB plugs existing all around them. I agree with that. But here’s a use case scenario that might give you a similar idea. I sometimes do video editing in bed on my MacBook Pro. I sometimes, well often, have a couple of hard drives, a hub, a usb powered cooler and so on. All these things need power. I plop this Anker power station on my bed after plugging it in (that’s only one cord for power). Everything I use around me including my laptop, iPad and phone gets power from this Anker brick and I need not reach or look for more wall plugs or usb plugs for power. You plug this in and it brings you half your town’s hydro station right close beside you. Useful in a hotel surely and just anywhere you have allot of stuff that needs to be plugged in to operate or charge up. I like mine and use it often. It can run a bit warm when on heavy load, but Anker did a decent job in the design to control it. Recommended.

Very impressed with the quality and functionality of this charging station. lightning fast recharging with a bright easy to read and informative display. Wish it came with an eight foot cord, otherwise a perfect product for my needs.

Great portable charge station, however the power plug is extremely bulky, & to make it worse, the prongs on the plugs does not rotate to hide, power plug/brick has a nice shiny black finish, with a LED light ring, nothing more, still don't understand why it's so bulky. LED screen, when viewed at an angle is blurry, it must be view directly perpendicular to your eyes (like your monitor), which is not realistic when you have this laying on your desk next to your laptop &/or tablet workstation. Power cord could be shorter, but that is personal preference. However, if the power cord can be disconnected from both the power brick & the charger itself, it would reduce the bulkiness when packing into a backpack for travels. Implementation of the phone app is nice, but nearly useless.
