Don't do it! I bought in on the deal in December and 4 ports have already failed on the unit. Also, the 100w is only shared by the top two ports. It's 2x USB-C (100w shared), 2x USB-C (15w shared), and 2x USB-A (12w shared). When working the top two ports do indeed deliver 100w, but the bottom 4 are really only useful for maybe a 15w wireless charging pad or keeping devices topped up (again, assuming the ports function). I still kinda like the idea of this thing, and I suppose you won't get a 100w charger for cheaper... but suspect there's a reason they keep unloading them so cheap...
Unfortunate you have that experience - completely valid.
On the other hand, I have this and use this as a daily driver (if I may use that phrase) since last November or so and have not one issue had. Am completely happy with the item I purchased for around $28 or so pre-tax. As with technology unfortunately, user experience is definitely varied.
After reading the comments here yesterday I reached out to Anker again and opened a new support ticket. They're going to send a replacement and a shipping label to send the faulty one back, so I'm very pleased with that. Sorry for my rantings, and thanks everyone. Obviously haven't received the replacement yet, but felt I should apologize and/or provide an update or something.

Yeah, sorry, just a bit of buyer's remorse (and if you read the comments in the post from December as well as what few 1 star reviews Amazon let through I'm not alone)... But again, in theory, it's not a bad buy, just not one I personally would make again.

What did Anker support say when you told them it failed early?

I can ship them the item for their engineers to 'evaluate' and once my issue is confirmed I can expect a replacement in 5-7 business days. For the $30 I paid (had some Amazon credit) I can still get 100w out of it on the top two ports and charge stuff... The hassle of paying to pack it up and send the thing in for 4 ports (providing 27w of power combined) that don't work isn't worth me having to juggle charging the kids' chromebooks without it for a couple weeks.... I kinda regret bringing my gripes up here anyway, I'm probably in the minority... also I really pushed the full wattage output on the thing with plugging so much stuff into it...

For what it's worth, I've always had good experiences with Anker support. They generally replace right away and only sometimes ask for the return for quality control.

Own a number of anker products, first time I've had an issue. Also first experience with their support, and definitely the last.
