It does everything perfectly
Yes the wall wart is huge and heavy but the little tiny piece you put on your desk is small and super useful it has more than enough power for all my devices I love being able to see how much power everything is drying and being able to turn the power on and off at specific times is wonderful
Amazon Customer –
A very versatile charging station.
While the plug to the wall is quite large, the unit itself is compact and very versatile. With so many options for USB A and C cable charging plus two A/C three prong outlets, it is a perfect travel companion. And the screen provides charging information as to watt usage for each item plugged in. Build quality is excellent.
I have purchased 2. One for the office and one for home.

The best!!!!
I got mines today 12/30/2024
I have to say this is a game changer when it comes to charging multiple devices. Especially when you have children who need a fast charge. It charged my iPhone 16 pro in 15 mins from 50% – 100% itâs worth the money I hesitated it for a while and after buying this charging station I donât regret it even for the price.
Itâs compact. You donât need all those charging blocks
Itâs sleek the design is beautiful
You can get rid of the extension cords
The cord is a decent length.

Does an awful lot for a charging station.
This is a unique product in terms of what you get for charging. You have USB-C ports, USBA ports and two 120 volt ports as well. And it can charge a seriously high speed. I used it to charge my Anker portable battery at 140 Watts and it works like a charm.
It charges my phone with super fast 2.0 at 45 watts flawlessly and charges my HP PC at between 100 and 130 Watts, and you can use multiple ports together at very high speeds. You have connectivity through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and you can control the type of charging on the outputs if you wish. The control is extremely granular, something that you don’t see in other chargers. It offers an awful lot for the money, and I’d get to see any issue with it with one exception .
If you’re charging a device and you plug another device in it stops the charging on all devices and resets, which is no big deal, but nevertheless it will interrupt the charging cycle momentarily while it resets to accommodate the additional device that just got plugged in.
The cable between the wall plug and the charger is a monster, designed to handle 15 amps at 120 volts…
It’s thick and heavy. The wall plug adapter is as well very large and very heavy, nothing that I wouldn’t have expected though. This thing is designed to run a toaster and charge your devices all at the same time, and it’s typical Anker quality, really top rated stuff.
I feel comfortable and secure knowing that this thing isn’t going to blow up on me or catch fire. It’s not cheap but you can often find it on sale and it’s well worth the price. It’s not really very portable, but it does make for a fantastic stationary charging station.
The Peculiar Mechanic –
Nice Charging Station, always been happy with Anker products.
Convenient to have a charging station where I can plug everything in at the same time without having to rotate devices that require different charging cables with only having one easily accessible wall power outlet I have in the office.
Use it to charge my MacBook Pro, iPhone, Apple Watch, Steam Deck, and anything else I need to charge. Have not used the 120v outlets yet, which is rated at 1250 watts that is not described anywhere on this listing (had to go to the official product page). Having the ability to remotely view charging status and disable ports via the Anker app is a nice feature to have.
Have several Anker devices: Anker C1000 portable power station with two solar panels, Anker 737 Power bank, hand full of wall PD chargers, multiple USB-C cables which have all been reliable.

So unnecessary and so amazing!
This thing is luxury but I absolutely adore it.
Negatives: The plug is MASSIVE. No getting around that. It’s the size of some multi-port hubs. Huge. Biggest I’ve seen. I think it’s got the surge protection in that so that the actual device can remain thin and discrete.
Positive: This thing is cool in the nerdiest ways. First of all, I bought this to clean up my charging area. My kids have 3 laptops charging all the time, and those boxy, ridiculous chargers were always strewn all over my floor. Not anymore. This thing can put out PLENTY of power for those three laptops via USB-C. I replaced those three ugly 65 watt Dell chargers with three nice USB-C cables that I cord wrapped together to make a sleek charging area for my kids’ stuff. Not to mention I still have two USB-As for their smartwatches (ugh) and two normal outlets too (and one more USB-C for whatever else).
The fact that I can see how many watts go to each device is awesome. Live stats. Live graphs on the app. Custom prioritization or smart management of the power based on need. Timers and on/off for each port. This thing is just so cool and screams quality. I’ve never had any issue with Anker and I trust this will last. I got it on a good deal where it was “only” around $100 so it didn’t feel as bad. These things aren’t cheap and I don’t think they’re a necessity, but boy it’s fun to have! There’s even challenges in the app… Secret things you can do to achieve little Easter eggs. Strange but kind of fun!

Heavy af but it lets you plug in a lot in a small space
It’s heavy, and it has this super thick cable that doesn’t wind up very well. but it’s great for plugging in just about everything into a single outlet.

Akward Design. Works Well But Cumbersome for Desk. Outlets are Shining Feature.
Charging Features Work Amazing. The design though leaves a mess of cables in weird directions. Extremely limited viewing angle for screen, no way to mount upright which would make it more ergonomic. The outlets though are a win just would have liked the Clock Style Anker A2345 with the AC outlets.
The slim design is nice and two AC outlets are awesome. Screen is blurry though and hard to read when on your desk making it kinda useless.

Why buy this? Everyone has a multitude of AC and USB plugs existing all around them. I agree with that. But hereâs 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 (thatâs 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 townâs 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.

Great Buy, good for saving space and organize all wires and outlets
David Shore –
This is a high-quality product with the maximum output. I have a mobile requirement and therefore the charge box was just a bit extra. I purchased a smaller one with 200 W as opposed to 240 W and that has worked well for me.
Nguyen Do Minh Hoang –
The display is very blurry and not sharp, I thought there was a film on it but unfortunately, there was not. The material is plastic, giving the feeling that it is not a high-quality material, I feel like it is not worth the money I spent to buy it, I rate 3* for this product
RML –
None of the USB-C ports worked. The same cable plugged into a USB-A port (with adapter) does work so is not the cable and I can’t get 140 watts out of a USB-A. The rest of my USB-C cables are rated either 100 watts or 240 watts and work in other USB chargers and my cables work with all my power banks and outlet chargers so it is not the cables. I don’t know what ANKAR is looking for in a cable that could be stopping the electrical connection so if I can’t use a generic USB-C charging cable, which is becoming the world standard, then this thing is junk.
As a note, I also have an ANKAR 727 and it has the same problem in that the USB-C ports don’t work with my cables.
