Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source I was sent last year. After testing it, it was quickly assimilated into my workspace, and I was so impressed that I bought three more. What’s more, they are super cheap.
Also: I tested a solid-state portable battery for a week – now lithium-ion feels outdated
Before I go further, note the unit I tested and photographed here is the UK version, with UK sockets. The specs that will be listed, however, will be for the US version.
USB-A, USB-C, and AC outlets.

The unit also has two AC outlets — one on each side — allowing the tower to be used as an extension cord. The outlets can handle devices up to 1,250W, so it’s good for most things around the home. This is handy, but be aware that the tower is quite light, and heavy cords could drag it to the floor.

The unit has a long, five-foot power cord with a special angled, thin plug (only 0.31 inches thick) to allow it to fit into awkward spots like behind the couch or a desk (the UK version has to be fitted with a traditional UK plug that conforms to BS 1363 standard, so no angled, low-profile plug for me). The tower sits on a reasonably wide base and has rubber feet to keep it in place.
If 65W of USB power isn’t enough for you, Tessan also makes a similar unit that can push out 100W. And if black doesn’t fit in with your decor, these also come in white
