No but from the description: "up to 2.4 amps per port or 8 amps overall (Does not support Qualcomm Quick Charge)."
So it will not fast chage phones from 2016 to now.

These are older, but I have used them extensively. Work well when charging multiple small devices, like kindle, ear buds, smart watch.

This. Don't buy this crap. This shart was slow in 2016. Too slow for phones. Way too slow for tablets.

This. It can do small stuff. But terrible for phones or tablets.

Not terrible for phones and tablets. It's good to have an overnight charger for daily use. You don't want to fast charge your phone all of the time. For overnight, as long as it's done by the time you wake up, it's fine.

You might be buying junky devices if they have trouble charging at 10W. Any standard phone or tablet should be able to charge off of 10W without issue. It looks like most flagship phones would charge from 0% to 100% using a 10W charger in 2-3 hours when sitting idle.

I bought a USB charger similar to the Anker in this deal and paired it with a wooden stand similarthe one in this listing [amazon.com]. I have it sitting in our family room. It makes a convenient place to charge multiple devices. Especially the kids. I've had an iPad, Kindle Fire, Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro, and 2 or 3 phones plugged into it at once. All of the devices charged just fine.

I'm typing this response from a hotel room on a work trip. In front of me I've plugged in a travel router, ear buds, a Pixel Watch, and a Samsung phone I'm doing testing with. 10W is plenty for each of these as well. I do also carry a faster charger for when I need a quick top-off. But there is still plenty of use for saving money or weight on lower wattage chargers.

These were the OGs. I remember buying a couple every time it went on sale during 2016-2018, gave it as holiday gifts to relatives/friends and everyone loved it. I have one which failed but at that time Anker just straight away replaced it (without even asking to send back the faulty unit). Until now I have 2 of these bad boys still running mainly to power some smart home devices.

Ive had the exact same model for like 5 years. It's old school and not fast/quick charging, but gets the job done. Ive had no issues with it for years (:

Agreed- I have two of them and I use them to plug in bunch of my smaller stuff like rechargeable flashlights, batteries, etc where I want to charge a bunch of stuff but it's not critical that it charges all that fast. I think it's a deal for this price, I probably paid the original $30 or something for mine.

Idk if they improved at all but I hated mine, the cable that comes with it started falling out with any movement whatsoever a year in and started emitting a really loud buzzing noise but still works like 8 years later lol, I wouldn't buy it again though

I have these next to my bed for years. Nice to have easy access for several devices and they will be charging overnight so slow charging isn't a big deal.

Not great from anything you want fast charged.

Looks similar to what I bought 5 years back. It's going strong. I don't need fast charging when WFH. I charge magic keyboard, mouse, iPhone, etc.. No issues so far. The only consideration is the lack of USB c since so many devices are now USB c supported.
