Muchas gracias por tu análisis, hice lo contrario, primero compre el producto, el cuál está en transito para entrega y mientras tanto he encontrado tu canal y estoy maravillado con todas tus pruebas y mediciones, excelentes instrumentos los que utilizas. En mi caso el uso que le daré al cargador, es conectar mis dos monitores, un Macbook Air M2, un iPhone 13, un Motorola Edge. ¿ Agradezco por favor me confirmes si la capacidad del Anker Prime 6-in-1 Charging Station (140W) , será suficiente para mi requerimiento ?
Un saludo desde Latam
not sure, but the upper outlets look dangerously close to the edge making it possible to put half in a 2 prong plug? leaving a possible hot connector :O
What do you think about the longevity of these pop-out outlets? I’m considering this vs the Anker 7-in-1 USB-C for a home station w/ possibility for international travel
I just wanted to see you plug something in like a box fan or something.
I have the older model: 727
On my recent vacation to Bali, I got use out of it by charging my headphones, my applewatch and plugging my laptop into the 110v socket.
I used the other socket for my Choetech 100W dual USBC brick as my main way to charge my iPhone 14 Pro Max as it was the fastest way.
These USB sockets don’t put out enough power to rapid charge everything that you plug to them but for items that you don’t mind trickle charging slowly it’s fine as an extra port to have around.
in Bali, I also purchased one of their plug type multi sockets with its own built-in USB and USB-C ports. It was nice to have extra ports in the room to charge my phone from different positions.
These anchor chargers are good for travelers. I don’t think that they make sense for office use or home use. It’s easier to buy a larger surge protector and use individual charge bricks for your devices so that they all get the appropriate amount of power.
I picked up on the ‘"Courage" reference 🙂
What do you recomend tho?
This is a very good review. Thank you for this.
Is it input only 110 volts, or can be used also on 220volts?
I had one and returned it. It was making a high pitched noise when charging devices.
Have you done the 240w Prime Desktop?
This actually looks more compelling now.. mainly for the screen. And that being on all the time makes sense on the power draw issue, I’m fine with that. I also dig those AC outlets.. the pop up is neat. I’d rather this whole unit be a rectangle like Baseus and not this pancake looking thing though.
Still cool, very versatile. For my needs? With 4 high wattage good 6’ cables this could be my power station in any room basically. And I could still just use my Apple brick for my MacBook on the AC.
But that price.. I’m poor. I just replaced my five year old Anker PowerPort Speed2 Quick Charge x2 and it still works great. It just slow charges everything so for a daily driver I wanted more power. Settled on Mokin 65w 3 port which is miles better but after watching your videos here I’m disappointed in the 65w port-negotiations… quite the bummer.
Also quickly learning all my cables suck.. gonna grab some USB4 Type-c and then a solid type-a Lightning and a type-a to type-c.
I’m getting closer to having a nice clean and efficient charge setup! Thank you for your help, great channel.
Well this thing looked much like a power bank but figured out afterwards its just a power cord …bummer
Thank you
Do you have recommendations for this type of charging station?
Do you have a list of your top 3 picks?
damn. and here i was thinking since i had the first 6-in-1 and i loved it so much i was going to buy this new version for my birthday. most reviewers don’t go into depth like this but will praise the newer one (which they should) but digging into it the way you do man really got me reconsidering on not to buy it and just stay with my previous 6-in-1 station. Definitely deserves a SUB for this wonderful break down. and i totally agree with you they should use 3 usb-c and 1 usb-a in this modern era
THANK you for showing the connector straight away. Increasingly disappointed with Anker and their use of proprietary-ended power cords when the standard ones already exist and would work just as well (and in fact were used on older Anker products)
So apparently from anker this supports 240v even that is not marked in the package or the product, but that cable being proprietary and they don’t sell it separately… what am i gonna do if i loose it?
Great video…any chance you have tried the new Baseus 100 Watt tower with AC output? For my use on a boat with limited space and AC outlets, the combo USB and AC units sure are attractive…and oh yes…I hope to be able to run a Dell XPS laptop on the bigger C output…a little challenge..
Have you tested the Baseus Blade Charging Station 140W 6-in-1?
Is Xiaomi the only ones that do a USB A to USB C cable for 6 amps to get 67w charging. I tried essenger that claimed their usb a charger cable was capable of 100 and it got 18w
Ankers AWEIGH!!!
Baseus also has USB-power outlet combo thing; it just looks like longer version of their regular USB chargers. Maybe you could do that next as comparison?
I think they max out at 100W though.
Hi! Great video. What’s your recommendation for best portable battery then?
Im so glad I found your site after just ordering one on amazon and I just cancelled. Thank you for you work. Also, is there any high wattage charging station that doesnt disconnect whenever you plug in a new device?
Hello! I bought Anker nano power bank A1259 this time, but I don’t have a video about this product yet, so could you review this product?
Nice vid mate
You didn’t upload the video for Anker Nano Charging Station(67W Max), and I wonder how that performs. But I feel like it doesn’t matter to me right now, as most of the time I will just use two of AC ports and plug some other good multiple-c-port charger, and this will usually do it for me. It was even portable enough compared to the other power strip. I am happy with it for now.
I got one brand new on marketplace for $40, so I can’t complain. I only planned on using it during travel anyway.
So disappointed. Its nice to have a real EE doing reviews
Hello, I am always amazed with your exceptional expertise and knowledge in this fields. I always review your video before purchasing any charging devices. Would it be okay if I ask you a question regarding this product?
I am international user based in the UK who frequently uses US plugs products with UK adapter. I am planning to purchase and use this product with UK adapter as well but it seems like the two AC outlets in this products only supports 100-125V / 50-60Hz (1000W) from the packaging. As United Kingdom operates on a 230V supply voltage with 50Hz, the AC outlet in this charging station may not function well and cause severe damage on either the charging product or the charging station itself.
However, I noticed from the Anker FAQ website that Anker Prime 6-in-1 C Charging Station (Model: A9128) power strip supports 100-240V input for worldwide travel. Also, they say "The user manual of these products may only state 125V due to certain certification requirements."
(Anker: https://support.anker.com/s/article/Do-Anker-power-strips-support-100-240V-input-for-international-travel)
In this case, does this mean I can use both AC outlets and Charging Ports in the UK without any issues?
Greetings. I travel internationally frequently and I’m looking for a decent charging station for that purpose, but one that ISN’T the "brick plugged into the wall" type that Amazon wants to push. Something like this Anker here, that I can plug into the wall with a cord and put on my night stand. After watching your review, I’ll pass on this one, but was hoping you might have another suggestion for my purposes? I would be charging standard things like a phone (Pixel 8 pro), laptop (USBC), occasional camera battery (USBC), and maybe one or two other miscellaneous things.
Thank you!
Your in-depth analysis puts your channel at the top of all content on YouTube. I haven’t seen anyone else who goes into the deep details of electrical efficiency, power factor correction and all other measurable characteristics. So when I saw you were going to test my ANKER Prime 6in1 140W, I was very excited to see your review on this.
I bought this and would really like to understand what you think these mean and why it is important to choose a charger that measures better.
Power factor correction: “not great” – can you explain what this does to devices drawing power? Does it damage them? Does it charge slower? I can see that the ac power is not like an ideal sine wave so what does it do when it is “bad”. Is it just 3% less efficient?
Dude absolutely awesome videos. So nice to see your work. I love the deep level detail
Having already purchased this device, should I be concerned it may harm the devices it will charge? I understand it is relatively inefficient and less clean in its delivery of USB power. Thanks in advance! Your testing is very much appreciated.
does the two ac outlet works when plugged in to a 230v source?
The new Prime series is out, you should examine it immediately
I’m sorry but I’m a little slow.. Could you please please tell me 2 things
If you think the 140w charger that comes with the new Macbook M3 Max would fit on 1 of those AC plugs WITH space for something normal next to the other AC outlet?
Also, if my damn charger IS 140w, does that mean it won’t have power to do anything else? Lol because I also wanna put the 35W dual USB-C Apple charger next to it. (AC)
*Hoping I can do all that and still use the ports at the bottom*
Not sure why everybody jumping to conclusion on this because nothing he has said is a real deal breaker for me not to buy this
Appreciate your detail in these reviews. Helps to know how much compromise one chooses to make when buying a product that advertises A but delivers B.
This is a unfailing action. It took its course 📖
When both ac plugs are plugged in, how much power is left for the 4 usb ports?
The initial few minutes didn’t do justice to the rest of the video. However, the amazing details and fantastic setup make it worth watching.
I ordered this for $66. How do you feel about it at that price?
I thought it was a power bank
Returning mine now. Sorry Anker, you are just being lazy and opportunistic
If I can get this for $40 will this be worth it?
man on some late night amazon purchasing rotfl uhhh I had something else in mind but either way i own it now. it was on sale for 60
You can connect to 240 v in europe. Just remember the 2 ac outlet wiil also be 240 v . If you have another us plug 115/240 charger pluggec in it, it will work. The usb are already 115/240.
