Brilliant bit of kit.I use the power bank when I'm out flying my drones, so i can keep charged out on the go. Since ive been using it its never ran out on me while ive been out, the capacity is great. Both the power bank and dock have excellent build quality and feel like they could take a beating. Anker have also included an app that helps you monitor your charging and also gives a few extra features like power saving modes where the device will charge at a slower rate between low usage times to improve battery life.The dock is a fantastic addition to have on your desk. (where mine lives) its multi function of both a charger for your power bank but also the addition of two USBC ports and a single USB port give it useful functionality besides just doing one or the other.Unfortunately like many other manufacturers they have decided to add that textured feel design along the sides of the power bank. meaning there are many small valleys and peaks where dust and dirt is attracted and then accumulates, if you work or take the device to dirty environments this can become frustrating as its not often the easiest to clean. not sure why manufacturers are obsessed with using this design. its not a big issue but i know it frustrates me so maybe it does others.

It's expensive but it's worth it, you can charge your power bank whilst also having handy USB sockets to charge other devices, so great for a desk or bed side. I take mine on vacation with me and have it by the bed so I can charge my phone and my power bank is ready to go.The bank can also be configured to show a clock as well which works well in combination with this charging base as it can stand on its end.

Excellent product.

Been waiting for this to become available for ages, and snap bought this with the 20000mAh power bank when I saw it the other month. Just in time for my Iceland trip and they did not disappoint.Granted I've not been getting the advertised 100W charging speed on the power bank (when on its own) so I suspect something's faulty somewhere - but honestly it doesn't affect my use case enough to warrant a return for more potential e-waste. (Update: I finally figured out what it was: apparently keeping my MacBook Pro MagSafe cable in the 100W USB-C port - even when not charging my MacBook, would reduce the available wattage in the Battery charging port. Same thing doesn't happen when I swapped my USB-C only cable to the 100W port, so something weird is going on with MagSafe cables that seems to make the charger think it's actively charging even when it's not)Currently this sits on my bedside table to charge my MacBook Pro M3 Max, my iPad and random USB-A things like my torch or sex toys and it does the job. Just have to be aware of the wattage split when multiple devices are charging (my laptop was actually losing power slowly when I played RE8).I learnt that the first generation have really light bases and supplied 3M tapes to hold in place. This version doesn't offer the tape anymore but seem to have added weight inside to keep it from moving around. Still not strong enough for me for when I accidentally pull the laptop further away, but otherwise it's been sitting happily in place.The portability made it perfect for travelling. It's much smaller than older Anker chargers I used whilst delivering more overall power, so an absolute win win for me, despite the heftier price.

Anker base station power pod is a winner, nice weight to it, screams quality and magnetic pins for their prime power bank units is a no brainer

I was very happy with the quality and finishing - really high quality and high speed charging
