From collecting and untangling all the cords, making space on your desk and ensuring there are enough outlets — charging your iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch at the same time can be harder and more annoying than it may seem. Of course, if you upgrade to something like this sleek, swivel-top cylinder 3-in-1 power dock from Acer, you’ll never have to deal with that mess again. Deemed the “best charger I’ve ever owned,” it’s a sleek, fast device that fans are buying in multiples. And it’s under $40 — a small price to pay for what one fan called “an absolute life changer.”
And yes, we already did the math on this one. This 3-in-1 option definitely comes out to be the better deal than buying even Apple’s smallest $14 USB-C wall charger and $30 watch charger as separate devices. That total would be $44 to charge only two devices — and it doesn’t include the cable for that wall charger, which would be another $15. That’s $59 to charge all three devices separately.
With a rotating MagSafe phone charger and pop-out sections for your Apple Watch and AirPods — this little baby does it all for under $40!
When you’re ready to charge, simply press a button and watch the MagSafe head swirl up, then press for the hideaway Apple Watch and AirPod charging panels to come out, as needed. While some charging docks lie flat down taking up extra space on your desk, this compact cylinder leaves a smaller footprint, only extending the charging panels when you need them.
Because the dock only demands one cord (to plug itself in), you can do away with that tangle mess of cables. “The charger itself charges all of my Apple devices flawlessly,” one fan said. “It keeps everything organized without having to worry about the cords,” another wrote.
Measuring about 3 inches wide and 4 inches tall, it’s a little bit bigger than a can of soda, meaning it’s super easy to tuck away or take with you on the go. Users compliment how sleek and modern the dock looks, helping curb cord clutter while propping your phone screen up so it’s easy to read as it charges. Note: This charging dock is explicitly designed for Apple products; be sure to check the listing to ensure it will work with your devices.
It’s so fast and so easy to use that people are buying multiples.
In addition to looking good on your desk or nightstand, reviewers compliment how speedy the dock works, making charging less of a chore. “The charging is very fast with phone, watch and airpods connected,” one said. “It’s easy to use, doesn’t heat my devices like other chargers have done, saves me more space while charging 3 devices in 1,” another said, adding, “I like the design a lot.”
Because it’s such an effective and compact charger, it’s no surprise that after trying it, people come back for more. “I bought multiple and everyone in my family loved the charger,” one wrote. “This is the coolest little charging station! ...Will be gifting these to everyone this year,” another said.
Reviewers love this 3-in-1 charger for ensuring all their devices are always charged. Read more 5-star reviews and grab one for yourself on sale.

Looking for portable chargers to take with you on the go? Check out these three favorites, courtesy of HuffPost Shopping.
If you want the best overall with the most ratings (20% off)
Awarded an overall 4.5 out of 5 stars, the Anker PowerCore charger is probably one of the best-known options on this list and will offer a solid performance and basic capabilities. (And don't worry, this isn't the same model number of Anker PowerCore chargers that were recalled earlier in July). One of the brand's slimmest and lightest models, this power bank has 10,000 mAh, which will charge your phone (depending on your specifc phone) fully two times before it needs the pack needs to charge again — a process that takes about five hours, which is standard for most 10,000 mAh chargers across the board. This trusty and airline-friendly bank uses PowerIQ and VoltageBoost, two brand-exclusive technologies that ensure an optimum charging speed of 15W, while “trickle-charging” mode ensures that your devices that are at their lowest battery life get the exact amount of charge they need. Built with a two-way USB-C charging port, the Anker PowerCore supports iPhones as early as generation 11, iPad minis, Apple Watches, Android devices and other USB-C-charged electronics. Prime members can get it for 20% off.
The one you want if you want a MagSafe charger (26% off)
The Anker 621 MagGo is compact, lightweight and promises 5,000 mAh of wireless, uninterrupted and hands-free power using a much smaller battery compared to other models — it's enough to bring dead iPhone 15 models up to 80% per charge. Keep in mind that, due to an overheating prevention safety feature that preserves battery quality, MagSafe chargers and such as the Anker MagGo, will automatically stop charging your phone once it reaches 80% and they will also have a decreased mAh due to energy conversion. You can also use this pocket-sized and airport-safe charger using a cord plugged directly into the MagGo's USB-C port if desired, and it's compatible with iPhone series 12 and above, just be sure to use it with a MagSafe case, or none at all. Prime members can get it for 26% off.
If you want the most compact one
The iWalk is a portable charging device that frequently sells out on sales events like Amazon Prime Day and is the most diminutive option on this list. Its direct-to-phone port connection design makes this a great option for anyone who doesn't want to fiddle with cords and who wants to use their phone as it works, while the helpful digital display on the front makes it easy to tell how much charging life is left. Available in several fun and neutral colors, this 4,800 mAh power bank promises enough capacity for a complete phone charge (depending on your phone) and can bring your dead device to 50% in just 30 minutes. It has a USB-C type connector to support iPhones generation 15 and above, iPad Pro and iPad Air and several Samsung and Google devices.
