Anker Prime Charging Station, 240W 8-in-1 Power Strip, 2 AC, 4 USB C

The Anker Prime 240W Charging Station to streamline my desk setup, and it is an absolute beast. Between my MacBook, phone, and all my content creation gear, I need a serious power solution. The charging capacity is incredible. It handles everything effortlessly. The selection of USB ports is exactly what a modern setup needs. You get four USB-C and two USB-A ports right on the front. I can fast-charge multiple devices at the exact same time without any drop in speed. The two AC outlets on top are also perfect for plugging in a monitor or a larger power brick. Cable management is usually a headache. This station makes organization completely painless. It features a great flat profile that sits flush and secure. It looks sleek sitting next to my Alienware monitor instead of looking like a messy, traditional power strip. Installation was completely straightforward. The 5-foot detachable extension cord gives you plenty of slack to route the plug perfectly behind your desk. You just set it up, plug it in, and you are good to go. When it comes to reliability, it delivers consistent power without ever getting too hot. Keep in mind that this is strictly a desktop accessory and not meant for travel. I will definitely be leaving it on my desk when I head to Paris later this summer. If you want a clean, high-performance charging hub for your home workspace, this is entirely worth the money.

The Anker prime charging station is fantastic and easy to use. First off it’s listed as not for travel probably due to the weight which is about a pound, but we use it when driving and traveling to older bed and breakfasts that do not have many outlets. This lets us plug up all our phones and tablets in one spot. It has a built-in search protector so I actually use it around the house as well to charge up our devices, game, controllers, and headphones. I really like that it shows you how much wattage is being drawn by each device hooked up to USB – C. There are four USB-C slots, two regular grounded, plugs, and some of the older USB slots on the sides. The device has been very reliable and works great.

I have absolutely loved this power station for almost 2 years now and it died recently while charging my laptop. Anker support just absolutely blew me away tonight with my first ever warranty claim with them and in a very short time from sending them a message to ask if it has a warranty and giving them details about what was not working right, they already have a replacement shipping to me and it has a prepaid return label in the box for my old one!!!! Products fail, it happens, but when having this easy a time dealing with the failure, I have to say I love this company even more now! As this power station goes, I remember being a little wary at first about the feedback regarding the "wall barnacle". As big as this power cord wall plug is, it rarely is a problem for me and the fact it gives me such great power from the usbc ports, 2x 120v outlets that can be independently turned off or on with simple buttons, additionally USBA power, connects to Wi-Fi and I can control things and see power details from my phone through the Anker app showing really great versatility in it's function and the cord length has been great without being to little or to much pretty much everywhere I use it, it is a really well designed unit! If the wall charger plug is to big and you can deal with a smaller amount of power output, they do have a 140w charger option that I also own and has similar functionally but not everything this one does.

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'm normally pretty happy with Anker products, and I am mostly happy with this one, but I do have one minor complaint. A few months ago my display screen stopped working. This is not a big deal since it's really not critical to be able to see how much load is on each port, but it is annoying that a feature stopped working on a product in Anker's premiere lineup. Other than this minor grievance, the product is great. The low profile makes it cleaner than a lot of other desktop options for multiport charging devices. The switched outlets can also be handy if you have lamps or other items that you might want to switch on/off from the unit. The power brick that plugs into the wall is pretty chunky, so be sure to plug it in somewhere that it won't get bumped. If Anker wants to send me a replacement with a working display screen I won't tell them no, but it's doing it's job of moving electrons where I need them at a respectable rate so I'm happy about that.

Alright, after waiting OVER a month for this to deliver(I got a mint condition), there's a few things that I already don't like. I already took into account that massive connection that goes into the outlet, so when I finally saw it, it kind of surprised me. Also, the actual charger station itself feels very cheap. It's so lightweight compared to the other ones I've tried and the screen itself also just feels ok. Connecting something does the usual, it displays how much watts are being used, but even after disconnecting, it just stays on screen... not only that, but when I connected it through wifi to my phone, the display isn't displaying anymore. It's just black and it's supposedly "charging". And although I connected it to my phone, it says it's "disconnected". I'll play with a little more, but if it's not as what I expected, then this'll be the first anker device that I find to be not worth it. Update: I got the help I needed, so the problems I had with the one I mentioned were solved.

Broke within warranty period started getting A1/A2 error. Well, I heard Anker warranty is very good. It should be fine. 4 Stars - for contacting them using Amazon website.It was hard to actually contact them using Amazon website, it kept me going through loops, we can contact amazon for faster. Eventually I was able to contact Anker Customer Service. 5 Stars - for Anker Phone Support. After calling Anker Support and requesting call back, I received callback within 10 minutes. Support rep was great, after verifying order number and serial number, we went over troubleshooting (i already did most of the steps before contacting support, but I did it again just to make sure) and after troubleshooting they acknowledge it was a hardware issue and provided the ticket number. All I had to do was email support with ticket number and shipping address. 0 Stars - for Email Support. I sent them an email with ticket number and shipping address. Instead of confirming the ticket number, they created a brand new ticket asking for order number. After going back and forth mentioning them we don’t need to create a new ticket, just use the ticket number i sent them. Finally I provided all the information requested again over the email and I got a reply that 30 day return window is passed.

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.

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.

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.

Why buy this? Everyone has a multitude of AC and USB plugs existing all around them. I agree with that. But here’s 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 (that’s 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 town’s 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.

Very impressed with the quality and functionality of this charging station. lightning fast recharging with a bright easy to read and informative display. Wish it came with an eight foot cord, otherwise a perfect product for my needs.

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.
