Customers are saying

Customers find value in the Targus Plug-N-Power Charging Station for its convenience in charging multiple devices simultaneously. The USB ports and extra outlets allow users to charge their devices without monopolizing all plugs. While some customers appreciate the added security of the screw-in feature, others find the constant green light to be a minor annoyance.

    The power station works great, very convient for mobile devices and charges them in a timely manner or at least I don't feel like I'm waiting a long time to get a decent charge while using it. I didn't fasten it into the wall with the screw and plugging my computer or anything else into the actual sockets will probably cause you to pull the whole thing out of the sockets. So that's my advice, bolt it down. Great product for the price.

    Love the size, it fits perfectly above cabinet shelf. Before only had one plug available, could only charge 1 thing at a time. If I wanted to use outlet for anything else, I had to unplug whatever I was charging. Now I don't! Charges quickly.

    Solved our issue with who gets to charge what and when. We can use two usb ports and two outlets at once, so four phones/tablets/Bluetooth can safely charge at one time. If the sockets were slightly farther apart we could do five. Good product so far.

    The low price is the best part of this. However, the power socket does not seem to fit with other connectors. In addition, it's rather bulky, enormous and space consuming for the few things it does.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I bought this product because we have so many devices that need to be charged and we were always running out of outlets. We can now use the USB ports to charge devices and still have outlets for other needs. I love the charging station and highly recommend it to others.

    Good charging station

    Overall this charging station works as expected, I can charge at the same time 5 gadgets including cellphones, ipods and ipad. What I dont like is the green light that comes out of it, it's always on and you can't turn it off, I had to put duck tape on it because it was very bright for me at night. The usb ports worked with every gadget that I connected (iphone, ipod, ipad, blackberry and nextel cellphone) but they didn't work with a Samsung Dart android phone, it doesn't even try to charge the battery.

    Works for all my gadgets

    I was shopping for something else at Best Buy and saw this on the shelf. Was easy to install and works perfectly with all the devices I own (have tried it with iPad 2/3/4, iPhone 3G/4S/5, Motorola Droid, HP TouchPad). I have had very good luck with Targus surge protectors. One of the portable ones died protecting my iPhone during a power surge - no greater sacrifice can a device make - so was glad to find one capable of charging an iPad while the device is on. The always on green light is a minor irritant, but I have grown used to it.

    Works as advertised

    I really like this charging station. I use it in my office and primarily use it to plug in my all-in-one touchscreen computer, but also have a USB charger always plugged so I can charge my mobile device, tablet, etc. The USB seems to charge quite fast compared to other methods (like plugging the USB directly into a computer). I'm very happy with my purchase. And the green light really doesn't bother me at all. I actually like that it's on because it tells me it's working correctly.

    Overall - Great Charging Device

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This device works as expected on select devices. My Ipods charge without a problem (three different generations). My Blackberries (two different model phones and one playbook) don't charge at all. They don't even try. They just sit there. If Best Buy can provide some guidance on that, I'd gladly change my review.

    It is a central charging and multiple-outlet system that powers most of my business devices. It is very compact and it comes with a night-light feature. I am also able to charge my portable devices (tablets, smartphone) via the USB cable. Great for homes and small offices.

    This wall outlet provides USB power for mobile devices (2) as well as 110 VAC (3) for standard plugs. It easily plugs into existing 2 socket wall outlets. Works only with device cables where one end in a USB connector.
