5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a power station that provides more than 5W of USB!!!

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } This is a fun little unit, though it is pricey.I've searched (separately) for power strips that have any of the following 3 features:1️⃣ A cord plug that sits very flat against the wall, for minimum clearance situations like behind furniture.2️⃣ A subtle, solid, minimalist shape that sits nicely on a flat surface like a table or shelf.3️⃣ Included USB ports that supply more than the minimum power USB can supply, which is about 1 amp x 5 volts.This Anker station does ALL THREE!It has always seemed stupid to me to include a useless USB port. "Oh hey, look, this (car / lamp / power strip / furniture) has USB! Yay, I can charge my phone! But why does it take 10 hours to charge the battery by 5%?" Modern devices need more power, often at different voltages to charge quickly.Unfortunately the best charging speeds here are only from the USB-C ports, but we'll take it.This station is so thin that the 3-prong plugs on top wouldn't be deep enough, so as you plug something in, the plate surrounding the prongs pushes out to complete the full depth.Only one criticism: the power outlets facing up have no protection against dust or spills, so in a dirty environment they would likely become fouled over time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very slim and travel friendly option with plenty of power!

Offers plenty of power in a small package. At a little less than half a pound, it is a very portable thing, eliminating the need for me to carry multiple external power bricks to charge my device devices. And the fact it has two outlets on the top is very nice for if I really do need to use those outlets for other things or for faster charging. Although the USB-C ports that are built in our plenty fast for charging something like a MacBook Air or even a MacBook Air & an iPad Pro. The thing can warm up a little bit if you are pushing it with multiple things plugged in and outlets in use, but not dangerously warm. I’ve only noticed any heat whenever I’m using both USB-C ports built-in and pulling lots of power through the outlets, otherwise I don’t notice the heat at all.It’s very portable and very functional, allowing me to check this into my bag for places like coffee, shops, or traveling. I use this all the time at the coffee shop because of the very slim profile of the power outlets allow me to not accidentally kick my legs into it when I’m charging my stuff.Overall, very easy to use, basically plug-in play, and the thin nature of this especially helps for the portability. The cord is plenty long to reach basically any outlet at about 1.5 m/~5 ft.

5.0 out of 5 stars I use it with my Dyson Supersonic R professional hair dryer

I’m really happy with this Anker Nano Charging Station! I use it with my Dyson Supersonic R professional hair dryer, and it handles the power load perfectly. No overheating, no performance issues — just smooth, reliable operation. The flat plug and 5ft cord make it easy to place even in tighter spaces. Definitely recommend it for anyone using high-wattage tools at home or in a professional setting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for when you are in the hospital

D.M.E. · May 31, 2025

It is a little pricey, but it sure made my last stay in the hospital easier. I have had a few stays in the hospital recently and the first one were not planned. They availability of charging ports are very limited and are far from your bed. I knew I needed for a solution for my surgery to make thing easier. The length of the cord puts the outlets right by your side. It also has high power USB ports to accommodate newer phones and devices. Hospital stays are not fun, but this made my last stay more comfortable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Feels durable

B.J.S. · June 10, 2025

This feels like a great product, despite only having it a couple of days. The power cord feels very durable. For me, the key is that the plug and cord are flat so it can fit behind a couch against the wall. So far, I only have one USB-A cable plugged into it, and has worked as expected.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good unit but bulky cable

A. · May 18, 2025

The unit is compact, light and very handy, but the cable is too thick, hard, and heavy compensating the weight and making the whole thing much bulkier and heavier than it could be. Still useful and somewhat easy to carry. Don’t be surprised how bulky the cable is though, I warned you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't recommend Anker enough

A. · May 26, 2025

An extremely handy gadget to have, especially on vacations. I don't use mine as a bedside station but instead use it as a power dock/extension for vacations. Especially when combined with Anker cords (usb-c preferred, even though usb-a is an option on the station), my phone was completely charged in less than an hour. The rugged, rubber-coated cord offers more than enough length, and the wall plugin lays flush so you don't have to change your furniture setup to cooperate with awkward wall outlet placement if it's a permanent feature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good design

Cleaned up some of my cord chaos. After getting a new “work” iPhone with a different cord than my personal iPhone, needing a plug for a lamp and… (add another item that would drive you nuts), this solution is working perfectly. I still have a lot of cords and devices… but they are at least organized in one place.
