I have heard about Anker for a little while from their ubiquitous ads on Facebook and looked longingly at their line of attractive USB chargers.
Since I have been suffering from a bad case of "wallwart-itis" lately, I thought I would give one a try. Any device that helps clean up the inevitable cable mess of a technophile is certainly welcome.
The 5 port unit I selected can supply 40 watts of power at 5 volts for 8 amps total. That is enough power for a few tablets, a newer phone and a few other small devices like cameras.
Anker chargers use "Power IQ" which enables them to figure out the charging requirements of each device and reportedly provide a quicker charge than most power bricks.
After using it for about a week, I can say that I am really pleased with this device and think it is a good addition for anyone who has too many devices and not enough outlets.
