Acefast Z4 218W review: This 4-port charging station has a unique feature I’ve always wanted

Acefast is a Chinese accent model that is aware of methods to seize consideration with its merchandise. Its T8 earbuds have a see-through design that is attractive, they usually mix a good design with nice sound and reasonably priced pricing. The model carried the see-through aesthetic to its Crystal 65W GaN chargers, providing unique designs with engaging colours and three charging ports at simply $25.

The Z4 218W charging station builds on that heritage, and whereas it does not have a completely clear design, you get an acrylic window on the entrance that exhibits off the circuitry behind the charging ports, and that simply appears plain cool. But what I like essentially the most is that the Z4 has a 1.3-inch LCD display screen that exhibits real-time charging info.

I’m obsessive about USB-C energy meters and seeing how briskly devices cost in real-world use, and having a display screen on the charging station itself is a terrific transfer — I’m undecided why extra established manufacturers have not considered doing so already.

Anyway, the Z4 is simply as value-focused as Acefast’s different merchandise, and this 4-port charging station that has a complete energy finances of 218W prices simply $80 on Amazon. I used UGREEN’s Nexode 200W because the go-to charging station for the higher a part of the final 18 months, and whereas it has two extra ports, it prices $199.
