Baseus Blade Charging Station 140W 6-in-1 Compact USB C Power Strip with 5ft Detachable Flat Extension Cord Digital

I have several Baseus products including several powercombo chargers, so I was intrigued when I saw the Blade and decided to pick one up the next time I saw a sale. +140W & PD 3.1 capable. +Really nice, slim form factor. +Good distribution of ports (3x USB-C, 1x USB-A plus 2x NEMA 5-15P AC receptacles). +Real time charging monitoring with V, A, W output shown (aggregate or per-port). +Screen turns off after time and there are no bright LEDs lighting up your dark room and keeping you awake. +AC plug is flat (like with other Baseus products), as is the cable and the cable can be disconnected from the Blade. -No USB-C cable included. ~USB-A port limited to 5W. ~AC cable's connection to blade is non-standard and proprietary (?), sticks out the back. ~Yellow USB ports. Look a little funky, but perhaps they're trying to align to standards (yellow on PCs usually indicate always on charging ports). The USB-A port is a standard "slow charging" 5W port, which I think is a good decision for legacy devices, but worth a mention in case that's a deal breaker for someone for some reason. The AC cable sticks out the back a bit, so maybe they can look to have that recess into the Blade and more flush with the back in the next version. Overall, I think the Blade is a great combo charger and a really nice upgrade from my previous Baseus powercombo chargers, although one factor in that is simply Baseus' decision to go with 3x USB-C ports this time around with the Blade, instead of 2 ports on the powercombos. Good move. I think the Blade's slim form factor is much better than the powercombo for tabletop/nightstand charging, although the powercombo form factor might still pack smaller for traveling purposes. I love that the Blade has a screen so I can nerd out and monitor my devices' charging. The fact that the screen automatically turns off after some time is a huge win, and there are no other LED or lights that will keep you awake at night. USB-C charging is fast and PD negotiates with my devices as expected and without issue, although I don't have a device that can saturate the maximum rated charging output, so I haven't been able to test the max charging claims. Baseus used to provide a high quality C-to-C cable with their powercombo chargers. That was a nice touch and I'm sad to see they've stopped doing that, but I can't knock a star from the Blade because of that. Read more

From the flat outlet plug to the USB ports, this is a really great charger. We keep it in the living room to power a light, and keep charging cables handy. The quality is really sturdy and I'm happy with the aesthetics of the design. It's low profile and stays put. The size is not too large, as it could seem to be from the pictures. It's great to have one central charging station in an easy to reach, yet out of the way location. I also like how solid the power cord into the unit is. It's very sturdy and it is extremely unlikely to ever come out. The display can be turned off, or you can turn it on to see how much output is being generated. Definitely worth the price. Read more

Love this charging station. Took it on a long distance trip with multiple stays, easy to unpack and set up for charging all the mobile devices. A little bigger than a standard smartphone. Read more

Final review update. My final review is updated to 4 stars. First I have to commend Baseus for their truly outstanding customer support. I have had an extended message conversation with them where they have provided thoughtful and detailed information regarding my questions. As my original review states, I really like this device, but intended it for international travel. Since the placard information on the back of the device indicates that 120V is the valid input voltage, I assumed it will not work safely at 240v. However, Baseus got back to me and said it will operate properly and safely at 240v with the appropriate countries adapters, and pointed out in the description where it states it will operate internationally. They furthermore told me that they were forced into stating only 120V because it uses a US flat plug. I pointed out to them that I have many devices with flat plugs that state a valid input voltage range of 120-240v and provided a photo of one of those examples. They then told me that their US certification said 120v only. So my final communication with them is that perhaps the certification paperwork is incorrect, but that I will likely not use the device internationally if the US certification is only for 120. If a worse case scenario occurs such as a fire caused by this device, and the device label and US certification is only 120, then I would perhaps be exposed to liability. I suggested that they work hard to get their US certification changed. I am really sorry to see this issue with such a thoughtfully designed and wonderful piece of equipment. I hope they get this ironed out soon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First review update. The below would have been my review. However, I since discovered that this power strip can only use 120V for input power. Is was fooled when I asked the Rufus AI about 240 and it answered that it would handle world wide voltages. However, inspection of the actual unit when it arrived showed that it was 120V only. A really horrible error on the manufacturers part in my opinion. Why build a travel power strip that cannot travel...... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Review I probably should not, but I tend to carry a lot of electronics stuff when I travel including Surface Pro, Ipad Pro, Kindle, Headphones, airpods, phone, etc. So I need quite a lot of capability to power and charge equipment that might be at several different locations in my room (bed and desk for example) where I am staying. I have one of those small brick charges with foldable prongs, and I always carry a travel power strip. Currently I was also carrying a few other small chargers because of the lack of USB-C PD ports on the power strip. I really liked my previous power strip with a flat cable, 3 AC plugs and 120-240 capability. However, it only had USB A power ports and only one of them was QC qualified. So I went looking for an update and found this marvelous device. It is a bit longer than my current strip, but waaaay thinner due to the ingenious extending AC ports, which work well. It also has a very high power capacity and multiple USB-C PD ports which I really needed and allows me to stop carrying some smaller PD chargers. I like the display of power per channel, but don't use it that much. The must have feature that works well is the ability to turn off the display completely if you use it in the room where you sleep. The cord is a bit bulkier than the one I had with my previous charger. However, since the cord can be removed from the strip, the entire package probably takes up slightly less space in my compact electronics bag, so I am pleased with its size. Overall, highly recommended for travelers with heavy electronics requirements. Read more
