Hey everyone! I just picked up the Anker 250W Desk Charger, and after spending a few hours with it, I wanted to share my first impressions.

So far, I’m really impressed with this charger! Here’s what stands out to me:

•	Powerful Charging: I’ve tested it with my 140W Anker 737 power bank and with my iPad Pro M2 and it charged the power bank at full speed 140W, which is awesome! 

•	Completely Silent: One of my favorite things about it is that it’s dead silent. No buzzing or other coil whine etc. (Not sure if that is even an issue with these type of chargers in general, but I wanted to mention it nontheless lol) —just smooth, quiet charging.

•	Heat Management: It does get a little warm when charging at high wattage as expected, but the heat seems to dissipate evenly across the unit and it didn’t get too hot. I don’t have any heat measurement tools though so just keep that in mind. Seems like the design really keeps things under control.

•	Solid Build Quality: The build quality is excellent—feels really solid with a nice amount of weight to it. It’s clear Anker put some thought into the design.

There’s also a new firmware update (1.1.1.4) which I assume is supposed to fix some of the display’s inaccuracies. I haven’t been able to fully confirm this yet since I’ve only been using it for a few hours, but it’s displaying information correctly so far and I haven’t encountered any similar issues that this sub has posted earlier.

The only small downside so far is that the screen looks a bit fuzzy to me, but it’s not a dealbreaker since I’m not staring at it constantly and I prefer to keep the digital clock off completely.

Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase so far, and I think it’s a great option if you need a powerful, silent desk charger.

Hi!

Does anyone have this charger?

I want a solution for my home office setup, because I get quite tired of having to switch between plugs all the time.

I have seen reviews about this one telling that it is kinda overpriced for what it delivers, but since it is at a discount, maybe it is worth it?

I would really appreciate your opinion on it.

I want to be able to charge

1. ThinkPad x1, stock PS is 67W - want to have it always plugged in and I would want up to 100W support for my second laptop

2. Phone, I'd expect up to 35W

3. Powerbank occasionally

4. Smartwatch, should have small power draw

5. Earbuds occasionally

6. Wireless mouse, should be light

7. Monitor light bar (Razer Aether Light Bar - 10W) - planning on having it always plugged in

8. Perhaps some other USB-C light or a wireless charger in the future

I have look at other amazon deals and options because I feel I can just get something cheaper accepting a few trade-offs, e.g. the watch needs charging daily for ~30 mins and I charge the earbuds once a week, but if this one is a good deal then why not

Thanks <3

UPD:

Ended up ordering a Baseus 100W multiport charger and a 8-socket power strip from Anker that has 2 20W usb C ports and 2 USB A ports.

I think having multiple devices, I don't want to restrict myself in the future in choosing e.g. a type c charging laptop that will work ok with the charger I have. My gaming laptop has only up to 100 W type C charging, while its factory brick is for 240W so I can write it off from the start.

So just getting a new power strip can be enough for most cases!

I can plug

2 monitors

2 laptop chargers for whenever I need them

1 speaker set

and then I am still left with 3 sockets, 1 for the multiport type C charger

and all that costing less than the 250W charging station
