This is my second GAN charger from UGREEN. I have another 100w charger that is a compact travel charger with two USB-C ports and it has been my traveling companion for about a year and has performed flawlessly to keep my iPhone, MacBook Pro, and AirPods charged at all times. At home I have a nice wooden box from Pottery Barn that has spots for small devices and little holes for running the charging cables. Previously I had a power strip in there and then a bunch of individual little charging bricks, which was not only a mess, but didn't provide enough power for my laptop when at my deck (forcing me to run yet another cable to the wall).

I have another 100w charger that is a compact travel charger with two USB-C ports and it has been my traveling companion for about a year and has performed flawlessly to keep my iPhone, MacBook Pro, and AirPods charged at all times. At home I have a nice wooden box from Pottery Barn that has spots for small devices and little holes for running the charging cables. Previously I had a power strip in there and then a bunch of individual little charging bricks, which was not only a mess, but didn't provide enough power for my laptop when at my deck (forcing me to run yet another cable to the wall). This desktop charger really cleans up my entire desk - I placed it inside the charging station and ran three USB-C cables and two Lightning cables out the front. I can now hook up my 2021 MacBook Pro, my iPhone, AirPods, and other devices such as rechargeable mice and keyboards all to the same neat and tidy little spot.The unit itself is quite heavy, so it sits solidly on the desk. Not sure if they added weight to it, or if that is just the weight of the circuitry, but it feels like a brick of steel when you pick it up. It also sits on four little rubber feet, so it does not slide around the desk and stays put very well. One of the things I REALLY like about UGREEN chargers is that the do NOT have status lights or any other annoying lights on them. Thus you could use this in a bedroom and not be bothered by it.The finish is beautiful, and while darker than the "space gray" of the MacBook, it is still very complimentary and has a nice satin finish to it - very similar to a MacBook.I only have two (minor) complaints about this unit: (1) all the ports are in the front - it would have been nice to have one or two ports on the back for things that are "permanently" connected (such as my MacBook when docked) and (2) the labels on the ports are nearly impossible to read. It is important because ports 1 & 2 are the only 100w ports so you need to be sure you're plugged into the right port if you want full power.One other thing to note is that this is designed to only be used in a "horizontal" orientation, which does take up a bit more desk space.

I have been waiting for something like this charging station since GaN chargers started becoming a thing in 2019. I think that the technology is especially useful in applications like this where you get a lot of ports and high watt output, packed into a tiny little square shaped device. This has a cable that plugs into the wall, as it is too heavy to plug directly into the wall socket. You also get a 1-meter USB C to C cable that is braided, although I think they should give us at least two cables (considering how many ports are on this thing).There are numerous configurations for how you can use this, but the two top USB C ports (or farthest to the left) can both do 100 watts, simultaneously. You can also get 3x 65w at one time. But I would look at the product ... MoreI have been waiting for something like this charging station since GaN chargers started becoming a thing in 2019.

You can also get 3x 65w at one time. But I would look at the product page to get the full breakdown, because which ports you use in combo with the others, depends on how much power is available. I have been using this for about a week and have had 3x laptops charging from this, all at the same time and they were all being charged at their full speed. I think this is worth it for people who are committed to USB C and can legitimately use something like this. It really has the potential to clean up a lot of wall sockets, if you have been using different adapters for each device you are charging.

I thought this would eliminate my need to use those little 5V adapters. While it's truly great for most charging, alas, it hasn't worked for all of my needs. Long story short, I'll be using this for charging almost everything I can, except some low-power electronics that won't work with this and require a little 5V charger instead.Here's how my testing went.The quick-charge protocol apparently steadily ramps up the power to reach the higher wattage, so I waited for that to be steady before coming up with an average at the end of the test session for the quick-charge numbers. I used a USB power tester that gives exact numbers—which gives me good peak watt data—but I did some eyeballing on the average power delivery after the ramp-up (so it's not exact).With the ... MoreI thought this would eliminate my need to use those little 5V adapters.

I used a USB power tester that gives exact numbers—which gives me good peak watt data—but I did some eyeballing on the average power delivery after the ramp-up (so it's not exact).With the 100W port on this 200W charger and its included (presumably 100W) USB-C cable, the power to my 16" MacBook Pro (at under 30% charge through all the tests) ramped up to around 80W with 87W peaks. With the original 96W Apple charger and cable, the peak was the same, but it seems with a slightly higher average toward the end of my test (around 82W).Not a significant difference, except that my Apple charger can only charge one device.When I had devices simultaneously charging in the first three USB-C ports and the first USB-A port, I got a fairly steady 63.7W out of the first USB-C port using a 240W cable. It's fair to call that 65W, so I'd say the listing is accurate.The other ports were low-power electronics, so my measurements weren't that useful for testing the power adapter's limits.It's important to note that I had a couple of very-low-power electronics that would not take a charge from the charger. These were 5V and 1 or 1.5 amp devices (a battery/charging case for a wireless mic + transmitter and a phone gimbal).My small iPhone, very old iPad, and footlong wand light charged just fine.

This is a tremendous charger - it can generate enough power to charge two 100W laptops at the same time(!) or even 3 smaller laptops, 2 phones and a smart watch/set of earbuds ALL AT THE SAME TIME. That's just a ludicrous amount of power - 200W in total.Yes, it's also a substantial size and weight - though not much more than some of the bigger wall chargers - but that's a small trade-off for the amount of power you get. It's not designed as a wall charger though, it sits on a desk or table with a cord connecting it to the wall. While that's more practical given the size and weight, it does make it somewhat less portable. Again, a small trade-off in the grand scheme of things. The charger and included power (and USB-C) cables are good quality and seem like they ... MoreThis is a tremendous charger - it can generate enough power to charge two 100W laptops at the same time(!) or even 3 smaller laptops, 2 phones and a smart watch/set of earbuds ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

The charger and included power (and USB-C) cables are good quality and seem like they will last for a good amount of use (it uses GaN tech so it doesn't get hot at all even when being pushed).There is the (not small) matter of the price though. It's priced like the premium product that it is - if you need the power it can produce and to charge a number of devices at the same time with as single charger, then it actually ends up being a reasonable price to pay for the functionality you get (and ability to replace multiple other chargers). IF that's the case for you, then this is definitely one to pick up.

It's great having 4 USB-C charging ports on one charger, along with 2 USB-A ports. The Ugreen has charged everything I've thrown at it. It's impossible to remember the wattage of the individual ports and how they change when multiple ports are in use, but I don't mind too much, since I'm rarely in a hurry to charge up my devices. The unit itself isn't very big, but it weighs a ton. This is not a good travel charger, but it does look nice sitting on a tabletop. The rubber feet and heft keep the charger from sliding around on a flat surface and the long power cord easily reaches power outlets. There are no LED lights on the charger, which is kind of weird. A small, white LED next to each port might have been nice just so you'd know if was working without having to ... MoreIt's great having 4 USB-C charging ports on one charger, along with 2 USB-A ports.

A small, white LED next to each port might have been nice just so you'd know if was working without having to check the device, but at the same time, it looks clean and isn't distracting. The included USB-C cable charges up my USB-C devices fine, though, I use higher quality cables for my more expensive devices as a precaution.All in all, this is a nice charger without any glaring flaws. I'm a little concerned about reliability, but my own experience has been positive so far. The price for the charger is very high, so hopefully it does last a while. I had a similar charger from Anker that failed, was replaced under warranty, and failed again, so if this one fails, I may steer clear of large, multi-port chargers.

This charger appears to do everything it claims and looks cool doing it. The charger has a premium weighty feel to it and the construction is of nice, sturdy plastic. The bottom of the charger has some rubber pieces on each corner so that it doesn’t scrape against the table or ground that it’s placed on. Even the box this charger comes in is super nice, it’s seriously the nicest box I have ever seen. It also comes with a braided usb c cable that seems like it will stay in shape longer than a lot of the rubber ones out there. The power cable for the charger disconnects from the charger which is a good thing, though it is a mickey mouse style plug which isn’t super common so don’t lose it.On the front of the charger there are 6 ports, 4 usb c and 2 usb a, which ... MoreThis charger appears to do everything it claims and looks cool doing it.

On the product page they list all the specifications for the different charging/power rates of each port and they seem accurate. I have a usb c power meter that I used to test the output of a few of the usb c ports, and my laptop was able to draw like 90W from the 100W port (I’m sure it can do the full 100W, but my laptop just can’t charge that fast) and got right near 65W on the 65W port. I also tried it while charging my phone from another port and didn’t see a noticeable drop in power.As far as the price goes, it’s a bit pricey, probably the most expensive charger on the market. That being said it is also the only charger on the market that is this slim, can do 200W with 100W ports, and has 6 total ports. Other 200W chargers are probably going to be kind of bulky or have fewer ports or not be from a reputable company.

The UGREEN Nexode 200W USB C Desktop Charger is extremely useful when charging several devices or using it when howling a combination of devices (laptops, tablets & phones).This multiport charger is fast, it can deliver power to several devices at once, saving space and outlets.The UGREEN Nexode 200W USB C Desktop Charger is a unit that can deliver 200W of power from two of its USB-C ports or from a combination of its 6 USB ports (4 USB-C ports and 2 USB-A ports).The charger comes with an extension cable that goes between the wall outlet and the charger’s body, so it could be placed on desk near your devices.Also included a braided 3-feet USB-C cable that supports 100W charging.I have several devices, each one with its own charger, which creates a mess in my ... MoreThe UGREEN Nexode 200W USB C Desktop Charger is extremely useful when charging several devices or using it when howling a combination of devices (laptops, tablets & phones).This multiport charger is fast, it can deliver power to several devices at once, saving space and outlets.The UGREEN Nexode 200W USB C Desktop Charger is a unit that can deliver 200W of power from two of its USB-C ports or from a combination of its 6 USB ports (4 USB-C ports and 2 USB-A ports).The charger comes with an extension cable that goes between the wall outlet and the charger’s body, so it could be placed on desk near your devices.Also included a braided 3-feet USB-C cable that supports 100W charging.I have several devices, each one with its own charger, which creates a mess in my workspace.The UGREEN Nexode 200W USB C Desktop Charger has replaced all chargers and I placed it in a bamboo charging organizer and could charge my devices (2 laptops [65W/45W], 1 smartphone [20W], 1 powerbank [45W] and 1 tablet [15.5W]) all at once...and it does it fast.The charger did not get hot, just got warm while using at its fullest .The charger was able to deliver 200W from the main two USB-C ports, while charging a gaming laptop and a 100W 26800mAh powerbank.I do not consider this charger a portable travel companion, and that is why I placed in a charging station. But if you travel with several chargers the UGREEN Nexode 200W charger could replace them all while only taking one outlet.The Ugreen it is not a cheap device and it does not feel cheap either. It has a solid plastic body with smoothed out lines and rounded corners and four rubber feet with a nice grip that keep it in place even with several devices plugged.While charging two devices via USB-A, one devices could get disconnected depending on the devices power draw.I would have liked if each USB port was labeled with the charging capability.

Thank you to the charging gods for creating this beast!! I did not know that this type of charger was in existence and where have you been?? Ode to the silence and cries of the the MOOMMM……my IPAD died!!! Or where’s a charger, it is not working then their’s my daughter who sees it charged to 4 % unplugs it and goes to her room then yells out for me and repeat. But besides my therapeutic rant of how much my sanity & quality of life has already improved let me tell you about this magical beauty. It is the smallest compact charger I have ever seen with this much power and boy have we been thru some lightening chargers, high tech stations, and similar chargers to this one, But no where near this impressive capacity!! My daughters ipad pro 12.9 charged at a pace of 1% ... MoreThank you to the charging gods for creating this beast!! I did not know that this type of charger was in existence and where have you been??

It is the smallest compact charger I have ever seen with this much power and boy have we been thru some lightening chargers, high tech stations, and similar chargers to this one, But no where near this impressive capacity!! My daughters ipad pro 12.9 charged at a pace of 1% per a minute and total from 0% to 100% in about a hour and half. This was on a regular usb charger not the lightening one it comes with and normally it takes about 4hours. For as many ipad pros, minis, airs, macbooks, iphones we have along with 2 macs etc, this monster is Aaahhhhh mazing!! The fact that it can charge 6 heavy duty devices at once as fast as it does and it checks the device temps while charging is unheard of. To not have to worry about devices overheating is a nice bonus!! If I could give this product 6 stars I would it certainly deserves more!! Highly recommend this it is a must have for me!!

200W USB C Desktop Charger: $199.99 at the time of reviewI have a number of devices (ipad, phone, laptop, etc.) around my home office that run off of rechargeable batteries and as such they need to be plugged in. I was able to put together a nifty little charging station with, of all things, a nice bamboo paper organizer. But I still had a bunch of little wall wart adapters that all of their charging cables plugged into. I’ve been looking for a way to clean up the cable/charger mess underneath for a while now so when I saw this 200w multi-port charger that had a single AC plug, I jumped on it.*What I liked*:This is a really nice full retail giftable package. It comes in a beautiful matte black box with a lift-off lid that reveals the charger underneath.

I’ve been looking for a way to clean up the cable/charger mess underneath for a while now so when I saw this 200w multi-port charger that had a single AC plug, I jumped on it.*What I liked*:This is a really nice full retail giftable package. It comes in a beautiful matte black box with a lift-off lid that reveals the charger underneath. It is really high quality (which I expect at this price range, to be clear).The charger itself also feels very high quality. It has a good weight to it, which is important because otherwise it is easy to yank around if one of the cables plugged into gets yanked.The port selection is perfect. As USB-C becomes more ubiquitous, it will be the primary charging connector. But I like having a couple of USB-A ports for older cables.The maximum wattage of 200w is great. My laptop has a high charging need so this is a good option for me.*What I didn't like*:I do have a couple of issues with this charger though. First of all, to call the power distribution-per-port complicated is an understatement. UGreen does post a couple of diagrams for a better understanding, but man, they’re a doozy. I recommend saving the images (as I did) in case the listing goes away or gets updated.Another slightly less important but slightly more annoying characteristic of this charger is that whenever I plug a new device in, the power delivery to all other devices currently plugged in stops and restarts (presumably due to the smart charge circuitry re-assessing power delivery to each port based on draw versus availability). For all of my Apple devices this means all of the charging chimes ding again. Not a big deal, but if I plug an iPad in at night, the chorus of the chimes will wake up my wife.Lastly, while this is a very nice package, the price is pretty darn high. There are a number of other multi-port GaN chargers on the market that, while they may have 1 or two fewer ports, come at nearly half the price. It is worth noting though that there is currently a $15 off coupon available that helps a little bit.*The Bottom Line:*Overall I’m mostly happy with this charger. I can accommodate all of my devices without needing a whole surge protector’s worth of little charger adapters. It does deliver a good amount of power that is more than enough for my needs, but the cycling issue where all attached devices stop and start charging again is annoying. At the $200 price range, I expect more. The reality is that I consider this charger to be a 3.5 star item, but I can’t give half stars. I believe that it’s better than a three so it’s getting rounded up to a 4. Honestly though, I wouldn’t order it over again at the $200 price range. There are too many other options for less money.

If you need a super fast charging device that can handle multiple devices at a time this is a great choice.My first unit didn't work out of the box. The devices that I was trying to charge recognized that a USB device had been connected but nothing was being charged. Took a chance and purchased a second one because this item gets a lot of good reviews.The second unit works great and I received a reply from support that the first unit appears to be defective and I should return it for a refund.I gave the charger an overall score of 4 stars for 2 reasons. 1st it was DOA and I had to go through the trouble of returning the defective unit and 2nd the revew asked about traveling with the unit.

It is very heavy. I believe it is much heavier than what my 5 original chargers combined weight was. It is convenient as it is less space and less hassle but if you fly with it then weight in your carry-on is of concern.I have had the replacement unit for only 4 days but it has meet all my requirements. I do recommend this as a multi charger replacement and if you are not worried about the extra weight then this will be a great space saver. I have not yet checked the power consumption compared to the 5 chargers it is replacing but I suspect it will draw more power but I won't bore you with the engineering reasons for my suspicions.Again, if you need a super fast charging device that can handle multiple devices at a time this is a great choice.
