Good looking out. Just grabbed this plus a 100W USB C cable for the same price as just the charger itself on Amazon.

Quote from jonen :
Just curious, are you saying to not buy from Anker out of principle? Or because their chargers could also be affected/designed to do something malicious?

I personally shy away from cheaper cameras because of nonsense like this, but I don't have as much of an issue with buying the chargers that still seem to be of very high quality.
it has more to do with business ethics and whether or not a company can be considered reputable.

also, afaik, the issue was that they were uploading stills (not entire videos) of surveillance that was being detected and uploading it to their servers when a user would opt for the "full experience", which would in turn include a still image of what got picked up on the camera. in comparison, when other options were chosen, it would exclude the still image in its notification/alert to you. this contradicts their boasts of your data being locally stored vs. cloud stored, or uploaded off-site/onto the interwebs/a server that is not your own, and claims that your "data" is encrypted, for use only by you and who you deem trustworthy. Not as bad as uploading an entire video capture, but still, dishonest. as mentioned, their handling of the situation (denying denying denying) is what has discredited them in the community, moreso than if they would've just stayed accountable to their mistakes.

The concern with this breach of privacy is that Anker/eufy is a Chinese company, and many of the reservations one would have would be attributed to that, taking into consideration how their government operates.

I still use their cams for now, but it does leave a bad taste in my mouth. not sure I would trust them in a business or commercial environment; or a private environment, for that matter.

I have the 735 (65W) and it also powers the switch docked. It is also a slimmer brick so it only takes up one outlet. There's currently a $15 off coupon on anker's website too, if you don't need the full 100W and want a slimmer brick.

I use it as a travel charger (laptop, switch, phone, and Garmin watch in USB A) and for my secondary switch dock at home.
I like the 735 and have a spare for future needs. I took one for a 2 week trip in europe and it worked for two people including 1 computer. Super cool.

You guys are free to plug your $3-5k MacBooks Pro and $1300 Galaxy Ultras into super cheap unknown brand chargers.

I'm going to spend the extra 20 bucks and get this for $47 off eBay

Who would you recommend as trustworthy? Seems like everyone in that industry is pretty shady when it comes to privacy.

I don't have enough experience to feel comfortable making recommendations; there are others who might be able to chime in.

many companies in the surveillance space have had some sort of breach/security flaw, whether cheap or expensive, new or reputable/established (eg. eufy, wyze, axis, etc); how they deal with their bad press/their flaws is a decent indicator of how they operate as a company. I can't really think of any "good" cheap brands. if it's cheap, it's Chinese and/or no good. if it's "good," chances are it's not cheap and/or Chinese. Not to say that the Chinese can't produce decent items, but there will always be the potential of it being loaded with some sort of phone-home/snooping coding unless the community can test and inspect the hardware extensively.
at the pace at which technology advances and hardware gets released, sometimes it isn't worthwhile to spend the time doing it. it may be better time spent to just pay more for reputable brand(s). everything is paid for in either time or money; in many instances, time is money, so it's up to you to determine what's your best approach to solving an issue like this.

in regards to power chargers, which is what this thread is about, you're going to be fine with this brand or ugreen. I personally like the quality of ugreen better, but as someone else mentioned, they are newer to this space and may not be as reputable. short of the security issue w Anker/eufy, I've seen them at Costco and other big box stores, so they must not be too terrible. Some Anker /eufy stuff I've purchased in the past have seemingly been ok, other have felt pretty cheap. not sure what that's about, but there are definitely inconsistencies in QA with Anker/eufy. I can't say I've used enough ugreen stuff to make the same type of assessment, but the cables, chargers, outlets Ive purchased have seemed to be ok

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank Miraxchange

great deal, purchased one back on December 10, 2022 for $56.69+ tax/free ship with their eBay deal.

I like this charger and replaced my M1 Macbook Pro charger with this for easier travel. Just a reminder that to get the 100w from one port, you can't have other things plugged into it.

Here's a Charging Guide I typed out that references their photo on Amazon:

Single Port Charging:
USBC-1 - 100w Max
USBC-2 - 100w Max
USB-A - 22.5W Max

Two Port Charging:
USBC1 + USBC 2 = 60W + 40W Max
USBC1 + USBA = 80W + 18W Max
USBC2 + USBA = 60W + 22.5W Max

Three Port Charging
USBC1 + USBC2 + USBA = 45W + 30W + 18W = 93W Total

Specifications:

Total Output Wattage: 100W

Input: 100-240V~ 2.1A 50-60Hz

Output:

Single Port: USB-C 1 (100W Max) / USB-C 2 (100W Max) / USB-A (22.5W Max)

Dual Port: USB-C 1 + USB-C 2 (60W Max + 40W Max) / USB-C 1 + USB-A (80W Max + 18W Max) / USB-C 2 + USB-A (60W Max + 22.5W Max)

Triple Port: USB-C 1 (45W Max), USB-C 2 (30W Max), USB-A (18W Max)

Dimensions: 2.64 in x 1.24 in x 2.24 in (67 mm x 31.5 mm x 56.97 mm)

This 140W was $45 during the last deal but is still $55 after it expired for anyone who doesn't need a USB-A port and it comes with a 240W certified USB-C cord.
That isn't GAN. Is it?
