As a customer, I'm a fan of Anker products. I haven't had to return one yet, and I have a few of their batteries and a ton more cords/hubs/etc.

I look forward to seeing the price for these home-scale battery packs.




I find their products hit or miss. I've burned through half a dozen of their USB-C to USB 2.0 adapters for my mouse (low power draw, how could it even burn them out?) Thankfully those adapters are dirt cheap, and the other products I've gotten from them have worked fine.


Was going to come say the same. I feel like Anker is just killing it on many dimensions right now. I'm always happy with their products and they're quite innovative, too.



That's very disappointing.

I've liked Anker products, starting with being able to get quality batteries for older laptops and handhelds. Today, I'll lean towards the Anker brand for any product, when I see it in Amazon search hits (amidst the hundred random-brand-spam listings for the same cheap product, and the handful of hits for real brands likely commingled with counterfeits).

If it turns out that Anker only made the mistake of hiring a stereotypical criminally-negligent/insidious IoT product team, then healing could begin by Anker dragging every person responsible out to the parking lot, and telling them to go defecate on some other brand. Because the value of Anker is trustworthiness.


They're very high on my trust-o-meter too. Never bought a bad product from them, and if someone asks me a question that should really have a very long and boring answer like "which USB-C cable should I buy?" I tend to just tell them to buy Anker.


I've had major issues with the couple USB hubs I have purchased from them.I've totally written off their hubs at this point.

It's been disappointing since their cables, chargers, etc have been pretty good.
