Reader question – ‘Can you recommend a nice charging station for all my devices?’

Every week, Kim is asked several tech-related questions. Which laptop is best for students? What’s the latest information regarding online safety? What kind of printer would be best for my home office?

This week, Kim received one question in particular that stood out. One Minnesota listener asked, “For my business, I need to find a reputable, compact multiple-station charging station for 10 electronic items, both Android and Apple. I see many on Amazon, but which one can be trusted?”

There are many trusted brands on Amazon, but not all of them are compatible with both Apple and Android products. Here are three powerful options Kim recommends that can get the job done.

1. Anker is a great brand

USB Wall Charger

When you need to charge your tablet, phone or other USB-supported devices, this USB wall charger by Anker is a great option. It's small and can be plugged straight into a power outlet in a conference room or shared desks. Up to six devices can be charged at once.

Promising review: "... Got this hub and now [my wife's] phone shows 'rapid charge,' even with our alarm clock, my phone, a tablet and Bluetooth headphones all plugged in. I wanted to make sure it could handle the demand, so I made sure all the devices had low or dead batteries. Moral of the story, is spend a little more and get a quality product."

2. Great for multiple tablets

10 Ports Charging Station

When your company relies on tablets, you need to ensure they're always fully charged before use. This NTONPOWER USB organizer stand and charger can power up to 10 tablets simultaneously. Perfect for business centers, offices, restaurants, schools, large families, hospitals, hotels and more. Keep your devices neatly charging in one spot and never worry about enough power to go around ever again.

Promising review: "This isn’t my first charging station, but it’s definitely the best yet. I love that the dividers are much more sturdy and practically impossible to break. It doesn’t fit my kid’s bulky iPad case, but that’s just fine. It charges quickly and is sturdy, so I’m happy!"
