Anker Prime Charging Station, 240W 8-in-1 USB C Power Strip, 5 ft Detachable Extension Cord, 2 AC, 4 USB C, 2 USB A, for iPhone 15/14, Desktop Accessory for MacBook, Home, Office (Not for Travel)

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!

I’ve had the Anker Prime Charging Station 240W since last year, and it’s been fantastic! I don’t use it at home every day, but it’s my go-to for traveling—whether I’m staying at a friend’s house, a hotel, or an Airbnb. Many places I visit don’t have enough outlets, or they only have old, unreliable USB-A ports. That’s why I got this charging station—and wow, it’s a game changer! With just one wall plug, I get 6 USB ports and 2 AC outlets, all working perfectly. I can charge my phone, MacBook, iPad, and even use the extra outlets for other devices with zero issues. Hotel lamps and outlets are often weak or in awkward spots, but this station plugs straight into the wall and delivers powerful, reliable charging every time. It truly makes my travel experience so much easier and stress-free. Note: it’s not cruise-approved since it has surge protection, but that’s no problem—I just bring my Anker 140W charger with USB ports for cruises. For everywhere else, the power station is absolutely perfect. I’ve been using it for several months now and never had a single issue. Highly recommended for any frequent traveler!

I've been a big fan of ANKER products for years, especially since i travel a lot. i realized, as modern life became more and more electronic device-centric, that power became more critical. Instead of carrying multiple chargers, i realized a single power solution was the way to go. i first bought, was is probably the grandfather of this model, a 65 watt Anker station, but quickly realized i needed 80watt + to power an Apple Powerbook, smartphone, and multiple smaller devices, then went with a 100 watt charger, just to cover the bases. Soon, i required more power, and was looking at the 140watt model. When this 240 watt monster went on sale, i decided to spend a bit more and cover all the bases for years to come. I prefer this style charger over ones that plug directly into a wall outlet, and only charge USB devices. This has a detachable power cord, for easy storage in my laptop bag, provides multiple USB ports (4+2), standard AC plugs, and is 100/240 volt adaptable. For international travel, all i need is one wall outlet adapter to connect this station to a power socket, and everything i carry is charged. Btw, i don't know why Anker says this is a not travel charger, it's certainly designed exactly for that purpose. It does have surge protection, perhaps some electric circuits, like cruise ships, don't allow that feature, in which case, i still have the 100 watt version. This device is another Anker triumph.

The Anker Prime 240W station is one of those desk accessories that quietly solves three annoying problems at once: scattered chargers, inconsistent USB-C power delivery, and the “octopus” of cables that makes your desk look like a networking closet from 1999. Anker’s build quality is exactly what you expect—dense, clean, and pleasantly over-engineered. It doesn’t flex, rattle, or feel like a generic power cube pretending to be premium. Everything sits in a compact block that stays put and doesn’t slide around when you plug something in. In daily use, the power delivery is stable across all the USB-C ports, even with multiple high-draw devices running at once. Laptops charge at full speed, phones top off quickly, and it doesn’t run hot enough to make you question your life choices. The two AC outlets aren’t replacements for a real surge strip, but they’re perfect for a monitor or a low-draw peripheral. It’s also genuinely desk-friendly—no buzzing transformer noise, no random coil-whine, and no “maybe it’s fine?” electrical odor you sometimes get with cheaper hardware. This is a device you set once and forget, which is exactly what we want from desktop power gear. It’s worth noting that this is not a travel charger—Anker literally says so, and they’re right. The detachable extension cord is bulky in a “this lives under a desk” sort of way, not a “throw it in a backpack” way. But for a workstation, studio desk, or home office where you want fewer chargers, fewer cables, and fewer headaches, this is one of the cleaner power solutions you can standardize on. If your desk is currently powered by three random brick chargers and a surge strip from the Clinton administration, this is a very real quality-of-life upgrade.

I bought the Anker Prime 240W Charging Station specifically for an upcoming cruise. My plan was to use it to turn the limited cabin outlets into a massive hub for all my gear. While the performance is flawless, the physical design makes it completely impractical for travel. The Good: * **Insane Speed:** This thing is a powerhouse. The 240W output is genuine—I can fast-charge my laptop, phone, and watch all at once without any drop in speed. * **Great Port Selection:** Having 4 USB-C ports, 2 USB-A ports, and 2 AC outlets in one device is amazing. It really does clear up the clutter of having multiple bricks. * **The Display:** The little screen that shows real-time charging wattage is a very cool feature that lets you know exactly how fast your devices are pulling power. * **The Hub Itself:** The actual unit that sits on the desk is sleek, slim, and very attractive. The Bad (The Dealbreaker for Travel): * **The "Hidden" Brick:** While the charging station itself is thin, the power supply is **not** built inside it. There is a massive, heavy power brick bigger than an old-school laptop charger. * **Not Portable:** Between the thick cables and that giant power brick, this takes up way too much real estate in a suitcase or backpack. **Verdict:** If you want a permanent charging station for your desk or nightstand, this is a 5-star product. It’s powerful and looks great. But if you are like me and bought this hoping to take it on a trip, a cruise, or to a coffee shop, **look elsewhere**. It is simply too heavy and cumbersome to be a travel companion.

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!!

Very heavy and large if you are planning on traveling with this. It is an absolute beast for the desktop, though, with power for all my needs.

I bought the Anker Prime 240W Charging Station because my desk setup was getting out of control with all the different chargers and cables. Between my laptop, phone, tablet, and smartwatch, I needed something that could handle everything without overheating or slowing down. This station completely simplified my workspace. The 8-in-1 design is incredibly convenient—I can charge my MacBook, iPad, and phone all at once, and still have room to plug in a lamp or speaker. The 240W total output means everything charges fast, and the detachable 5-foot extension cord gives me flexibility to move it wherever I need. What I really love is how clean and organized it makes my setup look. No more clutter or fighting for outlets—it’s all in one sleek, solid block. The build quality feels premium, and the power delivery is consistent even when multiple devices are plugged in. The only tiny thing I’d change is the weight—it’s a bit heavier than expected, but that’s a small trade-off for the power it delivers. Overall, this charging station is worth every penny. It’s powerful, reliable, and makes charging multiple devices effortless. If you’re tired of dealing with messy cords or slow chargers, this one’s a total game changer.

Ease of setup with app. Fast ports up to 140W. Compact. Plug in outlets handy for lamp or other devices. Solid build. Cord length a good length. Only negative I see so far is the size of the power brick, which can limit outlets. Overall solid station.

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.

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.

A great product. Works very well. The only negative is the simplistic user guide which didn't have the instructions to connect the charging station to my smartphone.

Great portable charge station, however the power plug is extremely bulky, & to make it worse, the prongs on the plugs does not rotate to hide, power plug/brick has a nice shiny black finish, with a LED light ring, nothing more, still don't understand why it's so bulky. LED screen, when viewed at an angle is blurry, it must be view directly perpendicular to your eyes (like your monitor), which is not realistic when you have this laying on your desk next to your laptop &/or tablet workstation. Power cord could be shorter, but that is personal preference. However, if the power cord can be disconnected from both the power brick & the charger itself, it would reduce the bulkiness when packing into a backpack for travels. Implementation of the phone app is nice, but nearly useless.
