Prime Charging Station, 240W 8-in-1 Power Strip, 2 AC, 4 USB C

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!

I've been a big fan of ANKER products for years, especially since i travel a lot. i realized, as modern life became more and more electronic device-centric, that power became more critical. Instead of carrying multiple chargers, i realized a single power solution was the way to go. i first bought, was is probably the grandfather of this model, a 65 watt Anker station, but quickly realized i needed 80watt + to power an Apple Powerbook, smartphone, and multiple smaller devices, then went with a 100 watt charger, just to cover the bases. Soon, i required more power, and was looking at the 140watt model. When this 240 watt monster went on sale, i decided to spend a bit more and cover all the bases for years to come. I prefer this style charger over ones that plug directly into a wall outlet, and only charge USB devices. This has a detachable power cord, for easy storage in my laptop bag, provides multiple USB ports (4+2), standard AC plugs, and is 100/240 volt adaptable. For international travel, all i need is one wall outlet adapter to connect this station to a power socket, and everything i carry is charged. Btw, i don't know why Anker says this is a not travel charger, it's certainly designed exactly for that purpose. It does have surge protection, perhaps some electric circuits, like cruise ships, don't allow that feature, in which case, i still have the 100 watt version. This device is another Anker triumph.

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.

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.

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!!

I purchased two of these units, one in Nov 2024 and the other in May 2025) because I insanely believed in Anker Products. I was so impressed with the design and features of the first unit I bought the second for my son. The configuration and design was in my view a dream come through. The display was a nice feature, showing the real time power output for each port, however the real selling point for me was the inclusion of the two 110V AC Outlets. Both units remained plugged in for just about 1 year from the purchased date. Now they have both suffered the same failure, the AC outlets have stopped working and the display no longer works. Is this coincidence For a charging station that costs around $149, this is simply unacceptable. I expected much better durability from a company with Anker’s reputation. Having two separate units fail in nearly the same way after only about a year has left me feeling completely let down and very disappointed. If you’re looking for a durable, long-term charging solution, I cannot recommend this product based on my experience. Save your money and consider other options. It’s hard not to wonder whether these devices are engineered to fail shortly after the warranty period, especially when I’ve come across numerous AMZ reports from other customers describing similar issues.

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!

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.

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.

A great product. Works very well. The only negative is the simplistic user guide which didn't have the instructions to connect the charging station to my smartphone.

After buy 5 of them this one is a beauty

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.
