I bought one of these around a year ago and it's been great for a central charging area in our house. Going to order a second for our game room
No way I've ever put it under a full load or tested it to the limit.
About 15 watts on a couple of ports for a total of 35 to 40 watts on the whole unit at one time.
Does what I needed to do.
Just to clarify on the screen,
Single clicking the button takes you through each individual port, volts, amps, temperature,and charge time.
Double click rotates the screen.
Click and hold turns the screen on or off.
The screen's pretty bright, so it's nice as you can turn it off so it's not a distraction.
My Review:
I tested this unit alongside a 5-year old USB-C PD 3.0 1-port 100w charger from Nekteck that I consider very reliable, able to provide a consistent 100w without overheating. I had a few different vendor 100w rated cables alongside a 240w rated cable.
I had an at-wall wattmeter, and also tested with USB-C power meters to confirm accuracy of the Sabrent's display. It was generally right on, with some inefficiencies to be expected from AC to DC conversion, and power delivery loss.
My 100w device is an Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 2021 laptop. I noted the laptop started charging at 90-100w for around 10 minutes on the Sabrent charger, then slowly de-rated down to 80-90w for another 15-20 minutes, before slowing further as the total battery charge reached 70-80%. To compare, I could even move the USB-C cable over to the Nekteck charger, and once charging began again, it reached within a watt or two of where the Sabrent was charging. This seems to confirm the Sabrent can indeed provide a full 100w. The slowing charge speed over time is from the laptop, not the charger, as all devices have a charging curve. (this concept was pounded into me with EVs)
I will say, just charging the laptop didn't make this unit particularly warm. I suspect charging from all 8 ports during my stress test is what truly made it heat up, as it would have only been supplying 20v @ 5a with my laptop. The full unit should be topping out around ~15-20 amps in the maxed out config, which is about as much as it can pull safely from a standard NEMA 5-15R outlet. I have some doubts it can sustain this at a reasonable temperature for long, as there is no active cooling. For instance, one hour into my charging tests, some of the ports reported 160F. Testing with a temperature gun had the surface near a few ports revealed a temperature near 130F, more than hot enough to burn skin. I pulled devices off charging and the temperatures gradually fell.
Digging into the manual, it looks like there are a number power distribution configs. In order to reach the stated 252w, you'd have to be using all 8 ports, with 2x USB-C ports charging at 65w, 2x USB-C at 25w, and 4x USB-A at 18w. Each bank of USB-C ports (A and B) have only 126w maximum power distribution, so the right and left sides would be splitting up available amps when more than one device is plugged in. For instance, you can start with 100w to a single USB-C device that supports it. Then plug in another USB-C device on the same side / bank, and it will only receive 25w. Plugging a device into either USB-A port on the same side will then derate the USB-C ports down to 65w and 25w levels, and supply 18w to the USB-A ports.
One common scenario is using all 4 USB-C ports, which outputs a maximum of 250w, typically with 100w+25w on the A and B banks. Again, connecting a single USB-A cable will derate the 100w down to 65w.

I've confirmed there is indeed no active cooling for this device, despite some misinformation on the Amazon page and a few videos about this device. Teardowns clearly show the vent on one side is merely a perforation, with no fan. I didn't hear any fan in my testing.

I do believe this thing can become too hot if you torture test it like I did. I would have liked to see an active cooling element. Most users will never push a consistent 15+ amps through one of these for more than an hour, because devices should be mostly charged, and on the down slope of their charging curve after 1 hour.
