Functional, practical, slim, perfect for small spaces
By Ana Maria on Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2020
The Anker power strip is a great solution when you need a slim strip and not too many outlets, perfect for a desk, the bedroom, the kitchen or any other area where you also use USB chargers. I just needed some extra outlets at my desk without creating too much bulk, and the 3-Outlet power strip was perfect for that. I'm not technical savvy enough to make statements about power, voltage or other electrical details. It just works as it's intended and even the USB ports charge really fast my phone and headphones. The strip is very light and easy to travel with (especially in a gaming backpack, or any fitting 15-17'' laptops), but doesn't skip on cord length. The plug is really small and can fit in tights places. The power strip body is slim and doesn't take too much surface. Overall the plastic and body seem good quality, not something easily breakable. The layout isn't that spacious, it fits most plugs, but definitely not 3 huge ones. The USB ports provide Turbo Charging for my Moto G smartphones.

USB NOT PROTECTED!!!!
By excessus on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2025
This product does not properly protect the USB ports from short, overcurrent, or themal breakdown. If your Vbus+ (power) shorts to D+/- (data), the power strip will continue sending power until everything downstream is melted. You think... 5 volts at 2amps or less. What could it harm? Well, you can melt a good quality cable quite quickly. Thankfully, it burned me and woke me up before the problem got worse. The kicker is that Anker will agree that a short caused this issue most likely, re-iterate the high quality safety design, and then refuse to compensate for even a wire replacement. The wires having damage and coming in contact with each other is, by definition, a short circuit and Vbus coming into contact with the Data cables is very likely in any wear or debris related short. If they consider this short circuit protection for the lower-power USB standard around for years, I am afraid for everyone buying the current generation of USB power modules from them.
