Great for those hotels that use up all of the outlets in the room and can't spend $10 on outlet in a desk lamp. Though, a ext. cord with outlets and owned USB charges works just as well.

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 actually only 18 gauge. 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 [cyberpowersystems.com]] you can find at Home Depot for around $11(!). Unlike most every Anker power strip, the Cyber Power product is listed through ETL [intertekconnect.com [intertekconnect.com]] 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 [ulprospector.com]].

It should also be considered problematic that the Anker product is listed under UL 817 [certipedia.com] (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 [cpsc.gov]]

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!

I know I know, you can build/buy others for cheaper and better that will go back in time and charge the devices of my ancestors, but for $10 this is great. Give them to my kids for all our summer travels (teaching them to manage charging their own devices on trips instead of hauling a big USB 10 port around) and if it gets left in a hotel or something it isn't a huge money loss.

Thanks for the tip. I found it on the Home Depot website here: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Cyber.../316152728

It's $9.97 at my local store. Ordered one for pick up.

I have seen the pricing vary regionally so I defaulted to picking one of the highest prices. Glad to read that you've found it even cheaper (beating the Anker in every measure).

Good luck!

Thanks so much for your time here.
We want to make clarification according to your several concerns.

Normally, we call a multiple socket outlet as Extension Cord Set or Relocatable Power Taps, which means for a multiple socket outlet, it may be tested by UL 817 or UL 1363. There is cross area for the scope of two standards.
An Extension Cord Set is a cord set having NEMA fittings on both ends with an attachment plug and a cord connector of the same mating configuration.

The standard of UL 817 covers the general-use extension cord sets. Our PowerExtend USB 2 mini (Model:A9123) is an Extension Cord set.
We can also find the construction requirement of extension cord set in the standard of the UL 817.
For example, total outlet number of an extension cord set should not more than 3, and when fitted with Type SJ 12AWG wire, the maximum total number can be 6. Noted that there are 2 AC outlets on the PowerExtend USB 2 mini which also complies with UL 817 safety standards.
We choose the suitable certification according to the characteristics of our product.
Meanwhile, 18 AWG wire of this Anker item also complies with related standards.

Our PowerExtend USB 2 mini is covered under an 18-month warranty and a $25,000 Connected Equipment Warranty. To view more about the Connected Equipment Warranty, please visit: https://us.anker.com/pages/connec...t-warranty

For any issue with our Anker items, we will respond within 24 hours to offer a proper solution to our customers.
If you need further help, please feel free to contact our customer service at [email protected].
Wish you a lovely day!Smilie

Thank you for validating that model A9123 does indeed meet the absolute minimum for the standards defined in UL 817. This includes the allowance for 18 AWG wire only when over-current protection is incorporated into the device (overcurrent protection being noted for the A9123 in the Amazon listing page - see attached). I believe you could also then confirm that, despite the overlap ("cross area") noted between UL 817 and UL 1363, the A9123 product would not meet the minimum requirements for UL 1363 as that standard does not have a similar allowance for 18 AWG wire(?).

Could you also please advise how or why the following devices claim surge protection but do not appear to be listed under UL 1449:
  • A9166 Anker Power Strip Surge Protector with USB
  • A9191 Anker Power Strip Surge Protector, 12 Outlets
Welcome to slickdeals. Thanks for joining the conversation.

Good luck!
Jon
