Anker Prime Charger, 250W GaN Prime USB C Charging Station, Ultra-Fast 6-Port, 2.26" LCD Display and Smart Control Dial, Compatible with MacBook Pro/Air, iPhone 16/15/14, Galaxy, and More (Silver)

Love the product. It was easy to set up, is durable, and looks great on a desk. Software gives really cool charging and device options, if you want to use them. It charges some very low-power USB devices that do not work with most modern charging blocks.Tip: Know your cables. Don't buy cheap ones and expect them to charge at the best speeds.Now for the bad. Really nothing to do with the product. The packing was absolute trash. A really expensive charger in an unpadded envelope? Really? The box was significantly damaged. Thankfully, it projected the charger.

So, if you want the best, here it is. For reference, I have so many chargers shaped kinda/mostly like this that I lost count years ago, and for some reason I'm always still looking for the best one. And, as of August, 2024, here it is. This thing is fantabulous. Why, well let's get started:1.) Super easy to set up. Controls are a satisfying scrolling wheel/crown and the ability to click the wheel in (think the crown on an Apple Watch).2.) Once plugged in, you can connect the charger to BT/WiFi via the Anker app. This is very simple to do, by rotating the dial till you get to the Settings page, click in the button to confirm, and select the wireless option. It will then show up in the Anker app and you'll be able to further confirm wireless settings there.3.) Extremely customizable either on device OR in the app. Do you want the total wattage displayed for 30 seconds before the screen turns off or switches to the time and date? Would you prefer longer than 30 seconds? Perhaps a minute? Perhaps 5? Perhaps longer than that? Or perhaps permanently on the wattage screen? Sure, do what you like! Is the screen too bright? Adjust that, too. Oh, and do you want to see the voltage and amperage on a per-port basis? Easily done, too, with selecting the port by scrolling the crown, and clicking it in to see more info about the usage.I love that you can use the app (once the charger is connected to WiFi) to see usage and current wattage/set schedules, - from anywhere in the world. Curious if your laptop is done charging without having to go back upstairs? Easily checked.Overall, this thing is marvelous and just looks and feels so polished. If there are any glitches in the future, Anker also has the ability to send this thing firmware updates. It has no trouble with high-wattage devices, has intelligence in terms of which port to send power to, and on the 2024 Asus ROG Ally X it has no issue sending 100W of power to the device as requested.However, as of August 12, 2024, I have discovered one bug, which is the screensaver set to turn off the display after x amount of time doesn’t work properly. What happens is, for example, if you set the screen to turn off after 1 minute, - that’s what happens. However, several minutes later the screen turns back on to the clock/date, and the screen saver option has reset to Time/Date rather than off. A bit odd, and annoying in a bedroom when you want the screen to stay off.Overall, this is the best desk charger yet, but this bug is annoying and needs to be addressed.4 out of 5. Close to perfect.*EDIT August 20, 2024.Anker just released firmware update 1.1.1.4. It adds some new clocks, and tweaks some charging algorithms, but does NOT fix the bug of not being able to have the screen stay off. Boo. :-(*EDIT August 24, 2024If you don’t use the WiFi connection this bug does not appear.*EDIT September 17, 2024Anker are now aware of the problem and a firmware update around October will apparently solve it. Will update as and when!*EDIT October 6, 2024The above issue is fixed as of the latest firmware!

I don't recall when exactly I first came across Anker products, it's been years now I suppose. Every product I've purchased from Anker has been a delight, even down to the packaging. This charger is no exception, it came well packed and felt like you were getting a product worthy of your money and ease of mind. It has a nice weight to it, and the ability to control how the power is distributed among the ports is just awesome and helpful. The Anker app is extremely easy to use and paired with this device almost instantly... I didn't encounter any connectivity issues at all. Once connected to my WiFi, it quickly alerted me to a firmware update. I don't know why, but just seeing the wattage fluctuate depending on the device and how much charge it needs gives me so much joy. I can easily see that it's not over charging devices or causing battery damage. I love it so much that I purchased another one and a carrying case so that I can have it handy while traveling. Whether it's charging my laptop, Pixel phone, Pixel watch, or whatever else... It does the job. It's well worth the investment.

This charger is pricey, but man does it do a great job at charging my devices. I really enjoy the screen that tells me the charging speeds. I checked it against other readers and the charging speed displayed seems to be accurate. It's fairly heavy and feels like it's high quality. The fact that it can handle charging all of my devices at once, a phone, 2 tablets, wearables, and others is pretty awesome. It is primarily USB C, but all new electronics are nowadays. There are 2 USB A ports on the side in case you have older things you need to charge. Cleared up a lot of clutter on my desk with miscellaneous other chargers. This is the only one I'm going to need for a long time.
