240W Ultra-Fast Charging: Equip your workspace with this powerful 240W charging station, designed to handle all your devices effortlessly.8 Ports of Power: Access all the power you need with 2 AC outlets, 4 USB-C ports, and 2 USB-A ports in one compact charging station.140W Max Per USB-C Port: Leverage the 140W output available on each USB-C port to rapidly charge your high- demand devices such as a 16-inch MacBook Pro, efficiently reaching 53% in just 30 minutes.
Pay attention to the specs - it's essentially capped at 100W/USB C unless you have a 28V/5A device. I don't think I've literally ever come across 28V in daily electronics. Ever.
Not a great deal with lackluster USB A performance as well. Plenty of ports and decent juice, but not worth it for me even with the 2x AC pass through
Holding out for a better "everything" charger at this price point
I like the device also. I have the original 6 port I use for travel.
However I find the iOS app for the 8 in 1 to be buggy.
I don't use the app but the fact I can charge my laptop at full rate and super fast charge my phone at the same time, while also having access to two 110v plugs makes it worth it. I take it on road trips and plug into my inverter

This is the only charger capable of delivering true 2x 100W or 3x 60W USB-C. Yet, it costs so much compared to cheaper models. I wonder what drives the manufacturing cost and how soon these will drop another 20-30%. It'll be a no-brainer to buy it under $75.
Look at how they massacred my boy. I have the original prime station - cant stand the absolutely MASSIVE wall wart on TOP of the phone sized brick in this redesign. Returned it immediately and kept the old one - nothing can charge at 28v/5a anyways, so the capacity past 140w is a bit useless.

I know that some laptops coming out this year will support this if the Anker poart is USB-C PD 3. compliant..,

May be a good use case there if you happen to have one of those devices - price isn't too far away from a backup laptop power brick
Personally, if buying a charging device for >100W, I'm holding out for 28V & 36V & 48V support and the adjustable voltage supply mode/feature (15V to max)
THEN it would worth it for an "everything" charger - at least for anything at relatively low amps that is PD (5A). Until then, stuck with standalone power bricks above 100W
Just because this can provide 140W doesn't mean it will fully power your 140W device; laptops in that range are (generally) 19-20V still and will get capped at 100 or so. Some Apple Books support 28V - maybe thats the use case here

I wonder why it says "not for travel".
Maybe because the ports aren't compatible at 240V and it would fry the device essentially

It's not on the list of:

So I think you're right about the 240v thing. (The chargers on the list with similar names are different models.)
