Please avoid this loophole product. There's a UL/ETL on the plug but not on the body of the device because the device is NOT UL-/ETL-listed (only the plug!). Almost worse is the fact that this cord is likely an 18 gauge cord, driving the low 10A rating (most proper power strips that look like this will be rated for 15A).

Anker has made some fine chargers. Buy one of those and plug them into a proper power strip.

Good luck!
Jon

For comparison, I've linked below to a Tripp Lite and Amazon Basics model that have comparable superficial features, but have clear UL-listing labels and support a 15A rating.

For anyone shopping for a deal, just buy the charger and power strip at your local dollar store (checking for the UL-listed label while you're there).

Good luck!

Not to be confused with a surge protector.

I was wondering if this item was good. It seems it's not.

I bought a similar power strip, 3 outlets and 2 USB, for $10.95 last year. It works great. It even says 15A rating, and 5.5 feet long power cord. One caution. It's a Chinese product. DOES NOT have UL or such label. In the past 11 months of using it, I have not problem whatsoever.

I've had this for over a year powering a 34'' monitor, a Mac Mini, and a 65W USB-C charger. And the USB-A ports for legacy cables.

No issues so far.

I don't know whatever the UL/ETL comment means. Should I be concerned?

No need to spend $11 on a knock-off product when a comparable product with a UL-/ETL-listed label is available at your local Target everyday for a co... [target.com]?
(Also available for the same price on Amazon)

You can actually save a few bucks if you put this together yourself using separate pieces for USB charging and the power adapter... and you would get a more flexible choice of power adapter form factor and USB charging options.

Good luck!

Imagining a worst-case power draw scenario I'd assign 100W to the monitor, 500W to the Mac (imagining an old Intel rig), and 65W to the adapter (that's easier!) plus just 18W for the onboard USB your total peak draw would come to under 700W. That's just over half of what the power strip is supposedly rated (10A or 1200W - 1250W by Anker's math)... and you're likely never coming close to that amount.

This is part of the reason why so many people have an experience with unlisted electrical gear that boils down to I never had a problem. However, this does assume that Anker also built a fundamentally safe design with failure modes that don't create hazards of their own and that meets both the manufacturer-stated ratings as well as any generally accepted safety regulations. What's a reasonable way to ensure this is the case? Listing and inspection/testing by a 3rd party like UL or ETL.

I would generally recommend that if it connects to AC in your home you should look for the UL- or ETL-listed labeling. Anything like this power strip, which has neither of those marks, should be avoided.

Good luck!
Jon
