Got this last summer for my mom to charge her new phone, old phone and tablet. Works fine for that.
One caveat is that because it has an on-off switch, if power goes out it will default to off even if it was on before, so if you have anything that needs to be powered when there's power even when you're not around, like a security camera or WiFi outlet, it might not be for you.
Agree 100%. Anker employees are all over slickdeals promoting their product, I find their quality to be inferior or equivalent to no name brands. Overrated and don't buy the hype.
Are you kidding me? Nobody puts 220 V or 240 V regular outlets in a house because it's against code. Only special appliance outlets like for a oven or a electric dryer are put in houses

You are not stuck, you can put 220v-240v outlets in your US house if you like. Baseus does not appear to make a version that also has 220v AC outlets though so you still would be out of luck.

Thanks for pointing this out!!! It's a deal killer for any electric protector or adapter that will stay off after a power outage which happens more often nowadays everywhere.
never heard of this company before. what's their track record like?
They're not on the Anker-tier of fame and popularity (and quality), but for the price they offer, the products are good (enough). Think of Aukey/UGREEN tier.

As someone said, Baseus is ok but not as good as Anker. The products they made has good spec but quality control are questionable. Make sure you thoroughly test it before return period.

Personally I bought their portable charger. It had some issue and the customer service was excellent and quick. The replacement is working as expected. I have ordered this also.

Baseus seems like a shady company. I was in the middle of a warranty claim for the 65w version of this through Amazon, and just beforeI was submitting my shipping address for replacement, the Baseus "storefront" ("Baseus US Flagship") shut down and could no longer receive messages. Two new Baseus "storefronts" popped up in its place ("Baseus Official" and something else). They probably shut down storefronts whenever enough complaints or violations stack up that its no longer viable then just open new ones.
On the 65w charger it had a weird issue. The second USB-A would shut off when, using a splitter/multi-head cable, and a device was unplugged from that cable. The next time something was plugged into that cable it wouldn't charge.

I've had issues with multiple Anker extension cord power strips. One of them had faulty USB ports right out of the box. Anker didn't even bother replacing it with the same model because I'm guessing they knew about the issue but they continued selling them anyway, probably with the intention of replacing the faulty ones. Now I'm having USB port issues on an older model of power strip extension cord. Also when all is said and done, my Anker cords seem to fail at similar rates to no-name chinese brands while the cords that have come with my google and samsung phones have been rock solid. People discuss Anker like it's in the same tier or a half step down from the big name brands but I think at best they're a half step up from the bottom, if not bottom tier. I think they're way overrated and I wonder if they haven't 'sold out' at this point and gone cheap.

We are talking about charger here and not cable/power strips. For example, Anker security camera are not top tier at all and has huge security issue (and people no longer trust their camera security) so many don't buy their camera. But that doesn't mean their charger is not higher tier than most no name brand charger.
