That first review seems to be written by an electrical engineer or someone with similar experience. Not a bad thing per se but probably written from an overly technical (and critical) perspective where things are never quite good enough. We can all get like that sometimes with stuff we are (or think we are) particularly knowledgeable about or experienced with (e.g. see threads on SD about knives and coffee).
Again, not to discount this sort of perspective but something to be considered. I also see 3k+ reviews and a brand I've had good first-hand experience with so I'm in for one. Thanks OP!
It's literally stock photos of random circuit boards, followed by a list of claims with no context or evidence, and random EE jargon.
The boards (and they're not even the same boards across photos) are not even close to the same dimensions as the actual product, and not one of the photos shows anything actually related to any Anker product. No Anker branded charger photos, no Anker packaging, no Anker manuals or warranty cards.
It's totally fabricated.
I don't own one of these, but if you're that scared of it, I'll gladly take it off your hands.
Can anyone show proof that the top review is true and accurate? I see the pictures, but they're unlabeled and point out the issues mentioned in the review itself.

It is a very compact and attractive charger. I bought one. But the top review on Amazon harshly criticized the safety and quality of the electronics, and I don't use it anymore.

I have this and always use it for travel. The prongs fold down when not in use so it's inevitably more fragile than one without moving parts, but the compact form-factor makes it worth it for me. I am careful when unplugging it and haven't had any issues. It works great and I love the fast charging for my iPhone. I like that it can fit flat behind furniture or beds and doesn't fall out of the outlets in the back of an airplane seat.

Yep.
I cannot possibly understand why someone who publishes a review like that does not even bother posting a photo of the actual board inside the product.

Your comment is so so true. For 99% of the people that use this product it will be good enough. Also how long do you actually think you'll end up using this? 1 year 2 years 10 years?

I used to be a product tester many years ago. Now, I'm a repeat customer. Excellent quality & customer service.

Anker customer service has not been as great as before. I had a USB reader that won't read properly and Anker does not stand behind the product. This is battery so maybe it is still good.

That first review is weird. "Poor repairable"? Who is repairing these?
