This charging hub is excellent. It has a flat plug, a good-length cable, and although it’s a bit heavy, it offers two USB-C ports that charge my MacBook Air at 60 watts. It includes 2 USB-A ports, 2 USB-C ports, and two standard US three-prong outlets, allowing you to connect other devices (including additional chargers). It’s a great addition to any desk where both charging USB ports and standard outlets are needed. It may be a bit large to carry in a bag, but when traveling it solved my need to charge a MacBook, phones, and an iPad simultaneously at good speed. Read more
This works great if you don't want the features of some of the advanced models. Put simply, this has four USB ports, two of them USB-C and then two are USB-A. And then it also acts as a power strip in that it has two electrical outlets. The cord is long enough to plug from a wall to most places you'll need it for. The power output of the USB ports charges most devices relatively quick. It packs up easy to put in a purse or backpack or your day bag of choice. I do wish the plug was a little thicker as I feel like I'm going to accidentally touch the prongs when pulling it out of the outlet and potentially electrocute myself. Otherwise, a great produce overall. Recommended. Read more
I love this charging station. It pumps out 67 W, which is enough for me to charge my iPad, my MacBook Pro, and an iPhone all at the same time. In addition to the 2USBC and 2 USB ports it also has two normal three prong plugs. Which is ideal. Great design the weight is pretty heavy, but I would expect that for something with so much power. The pork capacity is solid plenty of ports for you to charge everything you need. Seems to be really well-made and durable. The power cable that connects to the charger is very high-quality super high gauge. And clearly designed to last. I find this to be the ideal thing when you're traveling, I take it to a hotel often there's no plugs or there's only one plug and they've got there light and there clock, which you don't use anyway, plugged in and no plugs for any of your devices next to your bedside. This solves a problem for me immediate I plug it in. I've got plenty of things that I can plug directly into it and there's still two plugs available to use for other devices like CPAP who knows Read more
Okay, yes, this obviously is a great little charging station. Super fast. You can plug un usb-c cables directly without hunting for an adaptor, or usb-a to c cables, etc. great for travel, easy to coil up to eliminate tangling, well made - all the things. I liked it a lot in an older guest room with hidden outlets, not only for delicate electronics but also a blow dryer. But here is where this unit shines - I’ve had several hospital stays this year and always struggled to reach an outlet for charging devices. This station allows you to reach an outlet in the wall behind a hospital bed and lays nicely flat and accessible on the head of the bed next to your shoulder. You can access power more easily without needing to get in and out of bed. No tangling with IV lines because the cord is flat and doesn’t roll around. And it is just the right weight to stay put and not flop on the floor any time you unplug something. I’m sure there are safety limits on its use like that, but it was such a great solution because it wasn’t a trip hazard and didn’t interfere with all the people coming in to mess with me. Read more
I didnt even make it till end of the day to fall in love with this. Its this perfect thing that almost everyone needs nowadays. 2 ac plugs, 2 usb ports, and 2 usb c. Excellent speed charging. When you plug to ac they go up so when not used the thing can be very flat. The cord is also flat. So basically everything is done so it takes minimal space and takes care of almost all needs most people have with charging. Its bit heavy but like feels not cheap material type of heavy but very portable. Read more
This is an amazing unit. I have nothing but good things to say about it, except one issue. To put this into perspective you have to realize that this is all of these things at once: 1) A high speed, high wattage 4 port charger. 2) A 5 foot 2 outlet extension cord. 3) A substitute for you portable computer's cord & brick. 4) To, overall (the unit weighs about 1 lb), be more compact and portable than all the electronic pieces it replaces. It appears to have been carefully designed by Anker to pack as thinly as possible. The Anker designer that designed the outlets to be only 3/4" is to be give a gold star. They did this by having the outlets expand when a power plug is inserted in them. Truly an innovative idea. However, the designer in charge of designing the plug for this unit seems to have not been informed that "packing well" was the objective. That person designed the plug to be thin to the wall, but it doesn't pack well. The thickness' of the rest of the unit is approximately 3/4". The thickness of the electric cord when rolled up for storage is also approximately 3/4". Any normal electric plug (such as those found on a cord for the portable computer's brick) would normally be about 3/4". However this unit's plug's packed thickness is 1 1/4", which ruins the design of the rest of this unit. My question to Anker is: "Can I take a saw and cut off 1/4" on two sides of the plug to make the overall width 3/4" without causing an electrical problem?" P.S. I have bought 2 of these units. One for my wife and one for me. Read more
Another great product from Anker. This charging station sits on my desk with a slim plug that fits behind the tightest of spaces without a kink. I have a usbc for my phone which gives ultra fast charge, additional usbc for my watch charger and 2 usba powering my grow lights. The sockets are amazing. They raise out while plugging somthing in and tuck away when not in use. Small footprint and everything you need on your desk. Read more
