Featured Comments

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!

Agree with this. To add, the USB ports are annoying - if you plug a second usb cable in, you have to unplug the first cable, plug it back in, and hope that both devices start charging.

It's profoundly not user-friendly.
It feels like Anker, once a darling of budget-minded tech enthusiasts everywhere, made a huge mistake with the Eufy camera ordeal. The increased scrutiny on their products is probably well-deserved, and I thank everyone who has done the research into the shortcomings of their products.

Not only did you open my eyes to check Anker for stuff like this that I expect from them, but also the homestar runner profile pic is excellent

I understand that we want someone who was paid to look at a product to give it a seal of approval, but I wonder if the design is really any more dangerous in any way than a ul listed one.

if a company can sell a product that is equally safe without getting it passed by the agencies, then the savings customers get won't be wasted on burned down houses... the only question is who is able to tell it's design safety or willing to gamble?

The eufy thing was big and stopped me from ever wanting anything of theirs with a camera, even made me look into tencent of china and other Chinese tech nightmares.

So many comments on SD saying "garbage" or "poor product" without any supporting info. It's refreshing to see a comment that informs fellow SD'ers as to what the problems are. I for one, thought Anker was safe and reliable. Now I've learned they are reliable but do not meet safety standards I trust. Thank You

So your theory is that a company could elect to skip the certification to cut costs, yet still invest the money into adding all the safety features that would have enabled them to pass those tests anyway? Because deep down, companies are just full of good people looking to secretly do the right thing?

I don't think "equally safe" is a term I could use in that scenario.

how dare you say sh*t about anker, the de facto "good brand" that numerous SDers (who don't use their brains for more than 3 nano-seconds) would look up to, and accuse all other posts on SD are just shillings?

Think about it in such a way: is there a way to force you buy an APC or Belkin overpriced crap? Look, here it is! Certification!
While these USB ports may not be the best, Belking is still selling RJ11 protection:
