"Good product for the price for sure." on by rtpick1198
Pros: One less "toy" to purchase AA batteries for
Cons: strap gets in the way of it sitting in the cradle correctly sometimes
Summary: It is a very good place to "hold" the remotes, I always know where they are. We have played the Wii at parties for hours like no less then 7 or 8 hrs between people taking turns and never have had them die. You can't use the sleeve anymore but after using it without, Its hard to use the one I have with the sleeve now.
If you are worried about them getting scratched without the protective sleeve you can get covers from here http://www.invisibleshield.com/game-system/nintendo/wii-remote.php and I will also say these are the best covers I have seen that work for anything and they will even make custom covers which you would need to get the cut out @ the charge contact location.
I would recommend this to anyone that is getting a Wii, to me its just easier to put the remote on the charger than change the batteries every 3 or 4 days. (yes my Wii is played alot) -
"Hard to get contacts to match up" on by dargreg
Pros: The batteries last a pretty long time. It will save you money over the long run.
Cons: Getting a full charge is difficult.
Summary: I would never go back to standard batteries, but I find this unit to be very frustrating. It takes a while to match up the connectors so it will charge. And even once I do, the blue charging light typically turns green within a minute, long before it has reached full charge.

"Hard to get a good fit when docking" on by germany 88
Pros: Looks nice wont take up to much space on counter.
Cons: U have to move the leash around the the remote for it to fit in the charger right. If you leave the remote in the charger while its unpluged it will drain the battery faster then it will with just the remote sitting by it self.
Summary: I wouldnt buy one again. Its also prone to geting tipped over or remotes knocked out of charging easy.

"Best charging solution for the Wii" on by SurfLife14
Pros: The Charge Station is very easy to use and comes with gripped battery covers which feels really nice in your hands.
Cons: Wish it came with more batteries for my other remotes
Summary: I have asked many of my friends as well as retailers which charging solution I should go with for the Wii and everyone pointed me to the Nyko Charge Station. The best part of the Charge Station is that its ease of use. You just have to drop your Wii Remotes onto the base and it just starts charging and your Wii Remotes will be ready to go for next time.

"Good batteries, poor housing" on by btc50
Pros: Batteries charge quick and last a long time
Cons: The internal contacts on the battery packs are not solder or spot welded and they will fail if you drop your wii remote a few too many times. (Wii remote still works with regular AA's)
Summary: Somebody clearly forgot to do drop testing. 4 drop is 2 months = "wii remote loss of communication" with every sudden motion. Battery packs + charger => trash
