Hands-on: This charging station has quietly become a desk essential [Video]

One of the best ways to judge how good a product is, is simply how long it sticks around. There are tons of products that hit my desk that, for one reason or another, do not make it past one month of use. It could be poorly built, too cheap, not a good fit for my aesthetic, or for any other reason. But if a product earns a permanent spot on my desk or nightstand and I stop thinking about replacing it, that’s usually a really good sign. So when I noticed I had been using my Nomos charging station for about a year, I knew I had to give you my review. Here is what it is and how well it’s held up.

There were a few things that initially drew me to this charger, but the main one was the display. This charger came out during a time when displays came at a premium, and not every charger had one. I feel like most chargers these days have a little LCD to show some stats, which I love. But I wanted something reliable that could charge most things and had a display so I could test different wattage speed claims. This does that and so much more.
