infino 240W USB C Charging Station (240W-BLACK-1PCS) Review: 8-Port Powerhouse?

Introduction

The infino 240W USB C Charging Station (Model: 240W-BLACK-1PCS) promises to be a powerhouse, capable of charging up to eight devices simultaneously. With a mix of USB-C and USB-A ports offering varying wattage outputs, this charging station aims to simplify the charging chaos of multiple devices. I’ve been using it for several weeks now, putting it through its paces with a variety of devices, and this review will detail my experience.

Features

The infino 240W charging station boasts a compelling feature set. The highlight is undoubtedly its eight ports: four USB-C (one 100W, three 30W) and four USB-A (18W each). This allows for charging a diverse range of devices from laptops and tablets to smartphones and earbuds, all at the same time. The inclusion of GaN technology promises faster charging and reduced heat generation. Other features include a 1.5m detachable power cord and certifications such as FC, CE, and ROHS, suggesting safety and reliability.

Performance

In my testing, the 100W USB-C port flawlessly charged my Macbook Pro, achieving speeds comparable to the original charger. The 30W USB-C ports rapidly charged my iPhone and iPad, while the 18W USB-A ports adequately charged my various other devices. Charging multiple devices simultaneously didn’t noticeably impact the charging speed of individual devices, a testament to the station’s power handling capabilities. The unit remained remarkably cool even under full load, a clear benefit of the GaN technology. I appreciated the compact design, which didn’t overwhelm my desk.

However, there’s room for improvement. The documentation could be more detailed and the power cord could feel slightly sturdier.

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: Fast charging, multiple ports, wide compatibility, compact design, GaN technology, cool operation under load.
  • Cons: Documentation could be improved, power cord could be more robust.

Final Verdict

The infino 240W USB C Charging Station (240W-BLACK-1PCS) is a solid performer. Its ability to charge multiple devices simultaneously without compromising speed and its compact design make it a great addition to any home or office. While minor improvements could be made, the overall performance and convenience make this a charger I would wholeheartedly recommend.
