Lyrics are going through my head from a love song, where have you been all my life? Lol this charger is absolutely amazing! The power cord weighs quite a bit and takes up space, but the actual power bank itself is tiny in comparison. I love that I have two additional 110 power outlets combined with the four USB-C ports, and the two USB ports. The real luxury comes with the wattage draw read out, because while it’s not necessary, it is very cool nonetheless. The only drawback I could see is that both the power bank and its plug glow at night. There is no way to turn this off that I can tell. I would recommend a couple strips of electrical tape over the offending light source if you don’t like how bright it is at night. I’m looking forward to taking it with me on a cruise and putting it through its paces to see how well it does. In the meantime, it sits on my bedside charging whatever I want! Very happy!

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? DONEI 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!!

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.
