If you’re tired of cluttering up your desk with multiple chargers, check out Anker’s MagGo Magnetic Charging Station 8-in-1, because it can probably replace all of them. It’s one of our favorite MagSafe chargers precisely because it can power up eight devices at a time, and right now is down to an all-time low of $55.99 ($44 off) at Amazon for Black Friday. You can also purchase it at the same price directly from Anker when you apply the promo code WS7DV2NMENHH.

Anker’s orb-like charger is capable of quickly delivering Qi2 speeds (15 watts) of power to MagSafe-compatible iPhones. Yet it’s also a power strip, one that supports up to 67 watts total power output and features a pair of USB-C as well as USB-A ports, along with three AC ports. That means it can juice up eight devices, so you can not only charge your iPhone, but you can also power up monitors, lamps, tablets, laptops, e-readers, and a wide range of other gadgets.

As if that’s not enough, the MagGo is also a sturdy, Standby-ready phone stand, so you can easily check your notifications with just a glance. All in all, the device offers a ton of value, particularly given that the latest official Apple MagSafe charger starts at $39 at full price. That’s slightly less than the Anker, but Apple’s device only charges a single gadget at a time while Anker’s is far more versatile.
