    This relatively new entry from Anker doesn't deviate from the pattern established by most of their AC power strip products: their listing under TÜV [certipedia.com] lacks either a surge protection listing (UL 1449) or an appropriate listing as a "current tap/adapter" (UL 498A - the UL listing you'd be looking for on any direct plug - as in no cord - one/two to three/four/six outlet expanders). A review for the product [amazon.com] highlights the lack of safety certification marks. A reputable device with appropriate listings will bear UL listing marks. Proper labeling is typically seen as those holographic metal foil labels or an integral part of the injection molding in the body of the device to indicate a listing certificate number and/or the appropriate standards. You can review the guidelines here: https://marks.ul.com/about/ul-lis...h-america/.

    Allow me to link to a completely random but otherwise comparable product [amazon.com] I do not personally recommend but which indicates the UL 498A listing's applicability to this product form factor. In fact, most any basic one to many AC outlet adapter without a cord would fall under this UL standard, as these Home Depot [homedepot.com] and Amazon [amazon.com] listings illustrate.

    You can find a better deal, and likely build yourself a product better suited to your specific charging needs, by just constructing something like this out of a more traditional power outlet expander and a USB adapter.

    Good luck!

    The Anker to which you linked has all of the exact same problems as the Anker Outlet Extender in this listing. This Anker A9263 doesn't deviate from the pattern established by the Anker A9261 at the top of this slickdeal: their listing under TÜV [certipedia.com] lacks either a surge protection listing (UL 1449) or an appropriate listing as a "current tap/adapter" (UL 498A - the UL listing you'd be looking for on any direct plug - as in no cord - one/two to three/four/six outlet expanders).

    Good luck!

    Well, truthfully more like this is nothing.

    This Anker Outlet Extender claims surge protection, but is not listed under UL 1449.

    The form factor of the Anker Outlet Extender is that of a current tap / adapter (like simpler three-to-one or six-to-one plug in adapters), but it is not listed under UL 498A.

    For the record, I have seen some Anker devices claim to be extension cords (which are covered under UL 817) when in fact the device should more correctly have been listed as a relocatable tap (what most people would term a "power strip", covered under UL 1363).

    With this Anker failing to be listing under any of these standards, I'd call it nothing. And I don't pay money for nothing.

    Good luck!

    I bought 2, don't listen to the haters.
    I know this is better than what I have....Repped!
    I dunno, I like a good bargain as much as the next guy and hate when people threadcrap, but an electrical device without a UL listing is a pretty big deal. Especially when said device is both a charger and outlet extender. A fair number of fires are started by bad/faulty chargers left unattended.

    If anything, that other poster was offering a PSA, not complaining.

    Good info in the thread. Bought two of these last time when they were on sale for 12 bucks foolishly assuming they'd have at least the UL rating. Thought Anker was reputable but this seems like they're not

    2 things that I find interesting:

    1: I went to the Anker website but could not find this item. https://www.anker.com/

    2: The lack of an ETL or UL listing is a red flag for me.

    I'm passing.

    no _should_
    Legally, that is an OSHA requirement for things used at work. And people really overthink the role of these private laws. UL and alike are one of the things which really need to be eradicated and replaced with CE-type system.

    You mean the system where everyone declares themselves to be in conformity, even if the product is actually just an electrical incendiary device?

    I went to install this and the center screw provided didn't fit into my wall outlet- It was metric and I needed a 6/32 so picked one up at Ace down the street. My wall outlet is 4 years old. I feel like they should have included both.

    That receptacle center screw size has been standard for decades (there are no "new" metric receptacle screw sizes for the U.S.). This suggests another ding against Anker as a provider of such products. Having a screw that isn't long enough for all applications might be understandable, but failing to have the correct size for a defined standard begs the question about other choices made within their power product.

    Good luck!

    Wow Jon! You really got something against Anker. You either work for a competitor, a rogue former employee or consumer advocate. So, please do tell which best bang for your buck do you personally recommend?
