This is my favorite Anker charger (and I’ve spent an absurd amount of money on these for some reason). It’s perfect to just be able to hookup a laptop at my desk without cord clutter sitting there (or at least, minimizing it) all while still having an open port where I can plug in a longer cable on an as-needed basis. I love how clean it looks and how clean and uncluttered my desks look when they’re not in use. I have a white one here in my office as well as a black one back at home. I’ve found the LED display looks great in most lighting conditions, it’s not many angles that seem to result in the off-color/non-seamless display that others have noted. Great pick for a desktop charger that you plan to leave in one place. It also maintains its charging speeds pretty well; it’s bigger than a wall charger so it doesn’t need to throttle for overheating as much. The cables work reliably, and the retraction and magnets have been flawless so far. Read more
I’ve been using the Anker Nano 7-in-1 charging station for a few weeks now and overall I’m happy with it. I wanted something that could replace multiple chargers on my desk, and this does exactly that. Being able to plug in a laptop, phone, and a few other devices at the same time without swapping cords has been really convenient. The USB-C ports provide fast charging, including enough power for a laptop, which was important to me. Everything charges reliably and the unit doesn’t get excessively warm during normal use. The build quality feels solid, which is what I’ve come to expect from Anker products. It also doesn’t take up much space, so it works well on a desk or nightstand. One thing to be aware of is that when multiple devices are plugged in, charging speeds can vary depending on what’s connected. It hasn’t been a problem for me, but it’s worth noting. Also, it’s a bit heavier than a basic power strip, so it’s better suited for stationary use rather than travel. Overall, this is a well-made charging station that helps keep things organized and cuts down on cable clutter. If you have several devices to charge and want a cleaner setup, this is a good option. Pros: Charges multiple devices at once Fast USB-C charging, including laptops Solid build quality Helps reduce cable clutter Cons: Charging speed varies with multiple devices Slightly bulky for travel TL;DR: A reliable and convenient charging station that does what it’s supposed to do.

I travelled with this and it worked great. It is a little bulky and weighty for travel, but it works great as a power strip and to charge two USB-C devices at the same time. It delivers on the fast charging aspect and it's convenient that the USB-C cords retract to reduce the number of cables you're dealing with. It also tells you what speed it's delivering the charge. It's pretty good as a power strip alternative. Read more
This is a great little charger that powers my charging station. I like the look of it, and love how it has integrated cables -- not one but two usb-c. The only negative thing would be that the screen is virtually useless since you have to push a button to power it up, but when it is on, it does look cool and seem like you have the latest tech gadget.

I actually ordered this by mistake. I thought I was ordering the one that had no display, and all ports on the front. When this unit arrived, I was disappointed iny mistake at first, but ended up keeping it. Pros: + Compact and sits well in the desk + I am enjoying the wattage display more than I thought I would. You know precisely how much it's outputting. + Unlike the one I thought I was buying, all ports can deliver their full capable wattage at any time (as long as the unit's 100W is not exceeded), and are not subject to specific configurations. + The 3 AC ports on the rear are very convenient for powered peripherals like desktop speakers, monitors, etc. Cons: - I still wish it had front ports. The side ports are difficult to get to, and in my specific desk layout, I can't even really access the ports on the left. - I'm not a fan of charging products that have built-in / retractable USB cables. The USB-C end will *always* fail eventually, and when that happens, you are left with a useless plug (and one less charging option). And I can tell the retractable action is already a little inconsistent/weak. Overall, still a quality product from Anker, but imperfect from a design perspective for me. Read more
I’ve been a loyal fan of Anker Chargers for a long time and I’ve purchased quite a lot of Anker products. What I like most about this charger is that it has a retractable cable system and offers two USB-C cables for my devices. It also has a display that can show you the wattage each device is drawing. Do you absolutely need to see the wattage? I guess not. But it is mysteriously satisfying to know how fast your devices are charging. Read more
Works great. I have never had an issue with a Anker product.The retractable cord is so nice to keep things tidy. I think this would work best for a work desk because the retractable cord is only about 2 ft. If you have a longer cord than that will work since there are ports for that. Charges fast and has never gotten hot. Read more
I've been buying Anker products for several years: from their charging cables to their overpriced (underwhelming) Anker Prime 14-1 Thunderbolt 4 Dock. This is one of those products that seem to be a culmination of their past experiences (mistakes and all) with their new "Nano" series. The absolute best thing about this desktop charger is the retracting USB-C cables as it tucks away. How long these spring assisted pulleys will last is questionable, but knowing Anker's incredible customer service, they will take care of you. The company is one of the few that absolutely stand behind their products. The other bonus? The rear wall plugs built into the device. This is brilliant and fantastic addition as it's practical and they really thought about the user experience in a pragmatic way. Read more
