 The perfect charging station for wii May 15, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
There are so many charging stations on the market your most likely going to be at a loss for what to buy. I bought this for the great reviews and the features it had. I wasn't dissapointed.
It is perfect for keeping your nunchuks and wiimotes stored and charging them at the same time so both of them can always be full of charge and raring to go any time. two LED light signal when a remote is charging and when theyre fully charged although ive found this to be inaccurate sometimes. The cooling fan is quiet and works but i dont use it very often. The design is great and the white is very close to that of the actual wii but the LED lights cant be switched off without turning off the power at the wall making your room look like a 70s disco. Finally its a great solution for supplying the power as the wii slots into a power socket at the back of the station and the wiis main power plug goes into the back of the station where it connects to the wii.
All in all a perfect station for keeping your wii tidy, charging your remotes and keeping your wii cool. Perfect in every way.
Great stand! March 25, 2008

I bought this stand to keep my wii in place and charge my wii remotes, and it does this brilliantly! The wii slots in the unit and plugs into a bit of plastic, where the cable to the electriciy point is, and your cable connecting your wii to elctricity, goes into the station.(e.g the station plugs into your wii, and electricity is given to both wii and station through the one cable you got with your wii) ALL POWER FROM STATION IS DONE THIS WAY! No batteries are needed AT ALL! But you can charge 2 batteries if wanted.
The stand keeps your wii secure
The lights are cool, and quite pretty
The fan is a little loud, but it does its job
The battery packs last long and charging doesn't take too long
It keeps your wii remotes and nunchuks, neat and tidy.
There are 3 settings on the back:
EVERYTHING OFF!
FAN ON!
LIGHTS and FAN ON!
On the front of the station are three lights:(set out very easily)
On the left: Charging wii remote on the left
On the right: Charging wii remote on the right
In the middle: Charging batteries at the back!
 3-Position Switch December 16, 2007

Just got the unit and it looks good. There were no instructions with it and the blue lights didn't appear to work. A quick look at tha other reviews revealed the existence of a switch and issues about not being able to turn the lights off and the need for batteries for the fan.
I just want to say that on my unit the switch (at the rear of the unit) is a 3-position switch: 1-everything off, 2-fan on and lights off, 3-fan and lights on.
Having only just got the unit and not having lived with it yet I'm not willing to go the whole hog and give it 5 stars but it certainly seems like it will do the job.
Bought one December 3, 2007

Bought one of these for the kiddies, Noted i cannot actually switch fan off and still leave LED's on. this one also needs no batteries for the fan it runs from the units power.
If your rechargeables were to give up i'm sure minimal effort could prise open the backs to install new and probably higher capacity ones.
Nice unit..
Smart and tidy option for console storage December 1, 2007

Having bought a charging station from another manufacturer and getting no joy from the company when both battery packs gave up after 3 months, i hesitantly ordered this one and am pleasantly happy.
One of the things which differ from the promotional blurb is that My unit does not need batteries for the cooling fan, it runs from the Wii supply which plugs into the back.
The previous charging station unit had no access to the remote sync button on the battery packs, whereas this one does.
As the previous reviewer says, it would be nice to be able to switch off the blue light as my living room looks like a seventies disco when room lights are off.
