About the Product

The Sanctuary is a combination charging station and desk organizer that you can use to charge almost anything. It is compatible with over 1,500 devices, and eliminates the need for multiple plugs and adapters. It utilizes just one A/C adaptor, but since it has 12 built-in connectors, it lets you charge several devices at the same time. It also has a USB connection for even more device compatibility. It's compact 9" x 9" size takes up very little desk space, and its available in black and white.

The Good

The Sanctuary uses both desk space and electrical outlet space very efficiently, and supports an amazing number of different devices. It is a well designed and compact device, and keeps things looking tidy because everything stays hidden under the foam platform. Because everything is connected, it reduces the problem of losing a specific connector or cord.

The Bad

The Sanctuary is not compatible with everything, so before you buy, you should check the list to make sure your device is on it, it’s a bit pricey. There are so many different connectors that they do tend to get tangled a bit under the platform. If you have more than one device that uses the same style of connector, you won't be able to charge them at the same time.

The Bottom Line

The Sanctuary is very useful, and greatly simplifies the often complex task of keeping a person's myriad of electronic devices charged. If your multiple devices are all on The Sanctuary's compatibility list, it can be a good buy, especially if you don’t have more than one of the same device to charge at the same time.
