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

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.

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!

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.

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!!

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.
