Needing a 4-port charging dock.

I’m looking for a charging dock for a HomePod mini, a 10gen iPad, an Apple Watch 8, and a Qi pad for my phone.
I didn’t think it would be hard to find one, but I’m actually struggling.
This is the better option I’ve found so far. I like that is not too expensive, and it would hide all cables from view.

I’d appreciate any opinions or suggestions.
Thanks!

I like the Anker line of chargers. Whatever you get I would make sure it is returnable and to test out all the devices in different combinations. I had to return a multiport charger because the usb 2 Apple Watch cord wouldn’t charge when there a usb c cord already plugged in. Very annoying.

I bought a two of these and use them every day but it is no longer available. Is this similar to what you are looking for?

pqrst, thanks for mentioning that. I’ll keep it in mind. The one I linked to states that all usb-c ports are 20w, and it doesn’t seem they’ll dynamically adapt to the load required.
I like Anker too, but didn’t find anything for my application.
I need 3 usb-c minimum, no laptop will ever be plugged.
Gilbert, that’s a nice model, but the Apple Watch 8 has a fast-charging mode when using usb-c.
This is the better chance for a few years to provide adequate juice for these devices.
Thanks!!

Bez-azon suggested this one when I clicked on C(-)ris' link.

Anker USB C Charger, Anker 747 Charger GaNPrime 150W, PPS 4-Port Fast Compact Foldable Wall Charger
https: //www.amazon.com/dp/B09W2PNLX7

It's got the right buzzwords but is out of stock at suggest price of $120. Anker implied it could be pre-ordered at $110. Maybe someone bought the first entire initial shipment to resell at a higher price...

That one is great, but it’s too much for my needs.
This one looks fine, but it already states that the 3rd port drops to 7.5w which multiple cables.
