Btw this is not UL listed. Imo don't buy this. When it comes to shit that can literally burn your house down stick to UL listed only. APC, Phillips, GE, Tripplite are what I stick to

I didn't buy this but most of the Anker product works well
Edit: Apparently the clamping voltage shouldn't exceed 400 volts for added protection, while this charger can reach up to 1200 volts! (lower is better) Thus makes the added protection useless.
The USB ports do not work simultaneously. Only one may be plugged in at a time.

"The maximum output of the USB-C port is 20W while the USB-A port is 18W. When you use the USB-A port and the USB-C port at the same time, they will share 20W."
For example, we have this on a kitchen counter outlet, and we have an Apple HomePod Mini plugged into the USB-C port. Since the Mini needs 18W, it runs fine. My wife connected the cable for her small blender to the USB-A port the other day and the HomePod Mini started flashing orange--it was no longer getting the 18W necessary to power it. I retrieved a USB-A power brick and connected her blender to one of the outlets, the HomePod Mini powered back up. But I could have connected, let's say her blender and one of my rechargeable USB-C pen flashlights, and they both would have charged.
Overall I'm happy with the extender. It's been in service since February, works fine. The USB port power sharing is a non-issue. Having the HomePod Mini into the USB-C prevents having to block two outlets with the chunky Apple power adapter. I've got a box of single-outlet USB-A bricks from all the various devices over the years if I need to charge something with that style cable, and otherwise it's nice having six outlets available instead of two. No, it's not UL listed, but in my experience Anker products have been reliable--so I'm not concerned. I would not trust this less than a cheap Chinese UL-listed store brand product from a big-box store.
