UGREEN 100W USB-C DigiNest Pro charging station review

REVIEW – Like it or not, the charging world is headed towards USB-C. I don’t consider a desktop charger if it doesn’t have USB-C! Fortunately, the UGREEN 100W USB-C DigiNest Pro charging station is a slick product that has you covered.

What is it?

The UGREEN DigiNest Pro is billed as a 7-in-1 charging station. It’s a desktop charger with three AC outlets, 4 USB ports, and a generous 6-foot extension cable.  

What’s in the box?

Not much in the box, but the long cable does have a nice hook and loop strap.

Let’s address the power delivery: It’s listed as “100W max” but that doesn’t mean ALL the USB ports can handle 100W EACH. Take a look:

Design and features

On the front of the UGREEN 100W USB-C DigiNest Pro charging station is a very uncluttered panel. Three USB-C ports and one “old” USB-A port. That’s a power button on the right to power all your USB devices on and off. The power button does not affect the AC ports.

When the USB ports are on, the tiny white LED lights up.

There are two three-prong AC outlets on the back.

On the top of the UGREEN 100W USB-C DigiNest Pro charging station, you’ll find a single two-prong AC outlet.

Tech specs can be found on the bottom alongside two grippy rubbery pads.

This is the way all plugs should be: The cable exits at an angle! I love it.

Performance

With the UGREEN 100W USB-C DigiNest Pro charging station, I am very happy that I have more than enough USB-C ports within arm’s reach, PLUS the ability to plug in an AC device without crawling on the floor hunting for a spare outlet (hint: there are none)! A real lifesaver.

What I like

• Three USB-C ports and a single USB-A for good measure
• Handy USB power button
• Convenient AC outlets on top and back.

What I’d change

• A toggle switch for the AC outlets would have been a nice bonus.

Final thoughts

If you’re constantly fishing for USB-C charging ports AND AC outlets for your workstation, the UGREEN 100W USB-C DigiNest Pro charging station is it!
