Absolutely perfect

Wii remote charge stations are a dime a dozen these days, but the Charge Station Quad rises beyond everything else I've seen.

PROS

- Like any charge station, simply resting your remotes on the station leaves them charging for their next use.

- Replaces your original battery covers with ergonomic grip handles

- Each grip handle comes in a different color, allowing your Wii motes to remain uniformly white while each stands out from one another when looking at the grip handles. It's a much nicer looking solution than purchasing different colored Wii motes.

- Charges from an outlet, NOT your Wii. The remotes will still charge when the Wii is off.

- Quite simply the best looking, most practical, and least problematic of all the four remote charging stations currently on the market.

CONS

- As with any charger station, you will need to remove the remote's plastic safety sleeve in order to charge your remotes. Straps may also make it more difficult for the charge plates to connect properly.

- As with almost all charger stations, you will need to remove the Wii motion plus accessory in order to charge your remotes. The Wii Remote Quadruple Charge Station is the only charge station out there that will charge with the Wii motion plus accessory attached, but that product has its own set of drawbacks.

All in all, this is the best charger station out there and certainly the most convenient and eye-pleasing way to charge your Wii remotes, but if you are unwilling to part with the plastic protective sleeves and wrist straps, any charger station may prove to be too inconvenient for you. Personally, I removed mine on day one, and a full year of house guests and parties later, not a single Wii remote has ever been dropped or thrown. Ultimately, it's a decision each family must make for itself, but I think the protective sleeve and wrist strap were provided more for the sake of keeping Nintendo out of lawsuits and less a necessary set of precautions for the average gamer. They shouldn't hold you back from enjoying an otherwise flawless accessory to your Wii system.

Really love this product. I am sick of "AA" batteries. I am up to my neck in double A's. So when I saw this on line and read the ratings, I had to take a try. Works great. It is true what they are saying about the way it sits in the cradle, but you just move the strap to the side and it sits perfectly. Haven't had any problems with recharging. Initially recharged all four, then only two after that. Works as designed.

Easy to use, convenient, sleek

I was slightly worried about whether having the remotes standing upright would make this unit less stable, but the way the remotes sit in their cradles is very stable. It doesn't look bulky, either; it has a sleek look, and the lights are a nice visual reminder of charging status (blue for charging, green for full). It's extremely convenient to have a snazzy charging station for all four remotes at once - we just put all of them away at the end of each game and never have to worry about low-battery remotes.

The individual batteries are good quality, too, and carry a long charge. You'll get much more charge out of these than competitive products that use rechargeable AAAs, for example.

Things to be aware of: It won't work with sleeves, but one cool feature is that each battery pack is a different color, making them easy to distinguish (and the kids love being able to pick their controller cover). Also, be sure to shift the wriststrap to the side when placing the remotes in the cradle, or they can interfere with the charging.

great product.

This works amazingly well. It charges quickly and the light changes so you know it's done charging. If you get the Wii Motion, you will have to remove it before charging but it's still worth it. People said they had some problems with the wrist band and what you gotta do is move it to the side at the bottom. Great buy! If you don't wanna get this, just buy rechargeable batteries.
