So, there is one very premium 3-in-one charger that has just come to market from Belkin. It has received a lot of good reviews from YouTube vloggers (of course, they get free product) and the Amazon reviews, thus far, are fairly positive

This is one of the new generation QI2.2 25-watt fast chargers with cooling technology.

I was about to pull the trigger and purchase on Amazon, until I happened to remember I had read something about Anker about to release its own product...

This is Anker's 25-watt charging station, rumored to be released shortly, which has cooling technology and a temperature monitor screen on the base. I am certain it's going to cost more than the Belkin.

At this point, I am curious to know if anyone owns the Belkin charger pictured above and is happy with its performance. Also, is Belkin a reliable brand long-term?

And, if one feels Anker is the better brand, long-term, I would like to know that as well. I would consider holding out for this charging station.
 
I’m interested in reviews as well :) I have had the last gen Belkin charger since it came out and I’ve been super happy with it, really interested in the cooling feature.

I ordered the Belkin but it won't be here until October 1st
 
Curious what the point of the cooling feature will be? Have not noticed any issues with my current Belkin 3/1 charger.
 
Didn’t Anker recently get some backlash over an issue with a product and most people felt that they were not offering proper support?

I THINK it's the fact the charger is at 25 watts instead of 15 watts which generates more heat.

Do you remember which product that was? I just ordered, as a second device for traveling, their Macgo folding charger

Wait for Anker. I have owned two Belkin 3-in-1 charging stations. The Anker ones are always much better designed. Now I don't waste my money on the Belkin ones.
 
I ordered the Belkin, my s10 Apple Watch with link band will fall off any slanted charger like that with the tiniest movement.

Can I ask where you saw the anker one? I can’t find it anywhere on their site.
 
I have the Belkin for my watch, AirPods and phone. The fan is the best feature by far it actually keeps the charger from overheating and throttling. Well worth the $140

Thank you for this. Mine is coming tomorrow. You have given me something to be excited about.
