If you want it to maintain a port at 65w while using multiple ports this 100w Baseus model is only $10 more and might fit your power needs better. I have it and it works great.

Switched to this to see if Anker's power balancing was better because I never had issues with my other Anker chargers and my devices no longer disconnect.
Anker's power management seems to be smoother than the hard cuts that the other brands do... it's a minor thing but it annoyed me esp since it would randomly happen multiple times in a row sometimes.
It's because they're doing fine without it. It's how they keep their costs down. They have to pay these certification companies every time they stamp their certification symbol on a product. They are relying on their reputation, which I think is very high. I love their products and have never had a problem with any of them. If they thought it would help their sales and their profits. They probably would but evidently they're doing fine without it. It doesn't make the product inferior or more dangerous. Those certification companies don't care about your safety. They care about their profits. It's a business like any other business. If you pay them, they'll put their stamp on it. I'm sure Anker products meet or exceed safety standards in the United States or they wouldn't be able to sell here.
And it still has a 4.7 it's a fact that more people that have a problem with the product leave a review, then people that are happy with a product. People that are happy with the product just go about their life and forget about it. People that are pissed because they got a bad one are way more likely to leave a review. For companies the acceptable failure rate rule is 10 to 15% within a year. Depending on the company and the electronic. For instance, one in three laptops fail within three years. It is what it is and most people that complain don't even take the one year, manufactures warranty or two years, depending on the product and company into consideration, and never use it.
Generally fair points, but I can tell you that I always sort by most recent verified reviews and this has more of these themed negative ones than would be expected for that rating.
So yes those do mean something. I guess each person can decide how much, and you are deeply discounting it, which is fine.

Yes absolutely, there are tons of unfair reviews on products too, and that's why I read reviews like this to get a general sense and make a decision on each one on how valid they likely are, and when I start to see themes that tends to take on a little more meaning if it's something that is important to me.
Ignorant or lazy people are very irritating, especially when they are penalizing a good product unfairly. In that same vein, I can't stand when people give something like a one-star review to make a point or be noticed, when it should be a three or four star review. It gets down to the whole fairness of responses that are non-proportional.

Regarding the Baseus one, I'd be surprised if you'd overload the AC ports but to be sure you can just sum the wattage numbers found on the device labels (or look them up online). According to the specs anything under 1600w is fine, albeit with a blinking light if you go over 650w.
Keep in mind there is a light up button on top that turns off everything (USB and AC). I like it but it could be annoying depending how you set it up.
I have one and those are my 3 complaints.
Other than that, works well.
