You can find a better deal (and get a better power strip) by just constructing something like this out of a more traditional power strip/extension cord and a USB adapter. Particularly problematic with this design is the very thin gauge lamp cord used for the extension cord: though it looks like a more rugged extension cord, the cord is likely only 18 gauge given the 10A rating. That's what you'd expect in what was commonly termed lamp cord, though even the lamp cord equivalent at Home Depot these days uses heavier 16 gauge wire.

I recently noticed a CyberPower 3 outlet AC power strip model GC306UCHD with USB A and 15W USB-C cyberpowersystems.com[/url]] you can find at Home Depot for under $11(!). Unlike most every Anker power strip, the Cyber Power product is listed through ETL intertekconnect.com[/url]] as a power strip and surge protector.

You can also find a comparable form factor from Amazon and historically at a per unit price as low as ≈$7 per cube if you were willing to buy a 4- or 6-pack (1-pack ASIN B082Q1LC55, 4-pack ASIN B082Q26YYT; 6-pack ASIN B082Q26GGD). As a bonus, the Amazon product has 4 USB ports, a heavier gauge extension cord (14 gauge), and has surge protection. In addition, the Amazon product has both of the appropriate/expected UL certifications (UL 1363 for relocatable taps - since the cord and receptacles are NOT molded together - and UL 1449 for surge protective devices) UL Product IQ[/url]].

It should also be considered problematic that the Anker product [certipedia.com] is listed under UL 817 (extension cord) and not UL 1363 (relocatable taps). UL 817 would normally be restricted to cords with a molded in connector (like an orange garage cable, or the typical white/brown lamp extension cord you might use behind a sofa with 3 outlets at the end). CPSC[/url]]

The fine print on the three USB ports on this device is that they share a total output of 18W,

So any single USB device might charge at up to 12W, but connecting even two USB devices at once is a severe restriction. At the same time, if slow charging is what you're seeking you're at the mercy of this device to decide how it apportions power.

TLDR: Buy another USB charger which can consistently deliver the power level you seek (either high power fast charging or slow/overnight charging).

Good luck!

USB Ports are so outdated. Need USB C ports.

For people that are saying this product isn't reliable, do you have an alternate high value product?

For electronics, I don't touch it unless it's UL or ETL listed. You want some safety standards for your stuff.

Plus, fun fact. Your homeowner insurance can technically deny your claim for electrical fires if it's caused by non-listed equipment.

Don't you have any USB-C to USB-A adapter?

Good to know. Were you successful in contacting Anker for a warranty replacement? Within 6 months it seems there shouldn't be much of an issue there.

I have a larger version of this and it works great. We have put it through quite a bit of abuse over the last 9 months. We run space heaters on the main plugs, and we are constantly charging devices with the USB. Everything still works fine

"Majority" would be a big exaggeration

My USB went out after about 3-4 months but anker did replace mine with no issues. New one is great so far. I got this for work and just leave it there.

I bought one of these for my home office at the start of the pandemic. Still working well after 2 years of use every workday. The USB ports quick charge my phone just fine. I haven't tried to connect a laptop or anything to the USB ports.
