Quote from 66Days :
It's possible I missed something, but USB ports on power strips don't seem to provide sufficient power across all ports to do what you are describing, so I don't see how they could do three of what you listed at once. This can't power an iPhone or Apple watch so it's not like having multiple USB cables would help. I don't know about drones, but it feels unlikely. I mean I guess the firestick makes sense, but why not use the USB port on the TV, it's been decades since I have seen a TV without one.
These should charge iPhone, watches or similar electronics no problem. They just won't do it fast (and higher-current fast-charging can shorten battery life versus slow charging for some electronics anyway). I usually try to stick with Apple chargers for expensive phones, but there are lots of things that use USB outlets where these might be handy … cheap security cams, all kinds of rechargeable flashlights, remotes, etc.

As for AliExpress, I've bought low risk items where they couldn't be bothered to use secure adhesive to keep the product in tact. Their quality control is as lazy as their instruction manuals.
Aliexpress isn't a manufacturer. You're ignorance begets your inability to judge common sense.

Quote from chadog900 :
Name 1 Chinese car on American roads. American cars might be inferior to JAPANESE or KOREAN cars, but that's a different subject. All car makers go thru recalls for safety issues that are discovered after sales. Of course, you cherry pick one industry where the US has a poor reputation, but it doesn't matter since there is no Chinese superior on US roads. Even in China, only the poorest of the poor buy Chinese branded cars.
The reason you don't see Chinese made cars on the US roads is beause Chinese cars are not allowed to sell in the US, our politicians are good at keep competition out just like they did to Huawei phone and 5G networking products. The Chinese car maker BYD is now the largest electric car maker, outselling Tesla in 2022. BYD sold 641,000 pure EVs and plug-in hybrid petrol-electric cars in the first half of 2022, by outselling Tesla's 564,000 units in the same period it became the world's largest electric carmaker by sales.

Fast charging is 27W for an iPhone and 20W for a watch. I am not convinced you can charge three phones on this charger via the USB ports. Maybe the low-end devices, but I still don't think they can all charge at the same time, which is the point of multi-usb chargers. I have the same issue with Anker claiming their 65+W chargers can charge a MacBook and iPhones at the same time. If you are watching Netflix on your phone while charging your watch and AirPods case, it's going to pull more power than it draws.

The big real-world use case is that it needs to pull more power than all three devices draws when used at the same time.

If you absolutely need a power strip with USB ports, then okay. But the AmazonBasics 4500 Joule surge protector/outlet strip is $3 more:

It's what I use. And if the 4500 Joule rating is accurate, it's so much better of a value. I did the cheap Sunbeam surge protector/outlet strip and it burned itself up in a month. But it was cheap, so what was I expecting?

Ah Jack Ma was your English teacher prior to his AliBaba venture. No, I wasn't implying that AliExpress manufactured anything, because who would say the same thing about eBay? Does there exist one person in this world that confuses a marketplace with a manufacturer? Does that same person think that one company manufactures millions upon millions of items across every sector known to man? You knew what I meant, but decided to go there anyway.

The big real-world use case is that it needs to pull more power than all three devices draws when used at the same time.
I have an old 5 Watt Apple charger that I've used to charge every iPhone I've owned and never had a problem, even with newer ones that can fast-charge. I charge my phone overnight and prefer to use that old slow charger since I plug it in overnight anyway. I have a fast charger at my desk in case I need a quick charge during the day, but rarely use it. I don't like trying to use my devices while they're plugged in because that kind of defeats the point of wireless devices. Between my iPhone, iPad, and laptop, something is usually charged plenty to do what I need.

This says the total USB power output is 3 Amps at 5 Volts or 15 Watts, so it should handle charging all three ports at 5 Watts each. No, not fast but again, not an issue for many devices. The $15 security cam on my porch that I use to watch for deliveries works on 5 Watts and I have a USB-powered rechargeable flashlight that also needs minimal power just to charge back up. Same for my battery-powered Dremel and a Wi-Fi hotspot device. I probably charge them every few weeks on average and never need a quick turnaround time on them. Of course some people will want chargers with more power. And personally, I wouldn't use a random cheap charger for my iPhone … but there are still lots of uses for various things that these would work fine for.

You're working really hard to make a point if you're bringing up spyware phones. As for your EV stats, neither company has significant general auto market penetration because EV's in general are still super niche. Your best example was actually DJI (I own a Mavic and Osmo), a Chinese company from CEO down to labor, their edge in drones is unrivaled. Really an example of what Shenzen innovation is about with a reputation on par with a US company. However, they are an anomaly, most Chinese companies are looking to scalp the next dollar, not looking to build a long lasting brand name.

Interjection: spyware phones and drones are the same product in different form factors.

I can't argue with that. Their intrusive app is full proof of that, they want to keep tabs on you and basically force you to get full functionality of the product. I use an out of commission phone for it, but still, it's spyware really.

The point was these USB ports don't provide enough power to do that.

Most devices I use require 20 to 30 W, but they often go up to 100W. Anything that is going to be plugged in regularly has a power cord, not a USB port.

The key there is most devices you use. Everyone isn't you. There are all kinds of things that come with USB plugs to recharge. Several were mentioned above. Dozens of items that use small rechargeable batteries come with a USB port these days and most all of them will charge just fine on 5 watts if speed isn't an issue. Like I said, I probably wouldn't use this as my main charger for expensive electronics and of course it's not going to charge bigger devices like a laptop. But for a cheap outlet at a workbench to charge up my battery powered tools, it would be fine. Or for a spot next to the couch where a lamp plugs in and I might occasionally want a USB outlet for something like ear pods. USB outlets can be handy in a lot of places these days, but don't necessarily need a high-power charger at all of them. Lots of uses for something like this for some people. Not everyone.

Below are a few of the devices around my place that recharge just fine on a 5 watt charger.

By the way … not trying to be a jerk with my reply, but just pointing out a number of uses where something like this could be useful.
