Secondly, what you interpret as a weakness is actually its strength, which most multi-port chargers lack, as well as a reputable brand name and legitimate safety marks.
Unlike many chargers, this one can supply full rated power to all of its ports simultaneously, and doesn't have to reboot itself to reallocate the power distribution when a new device is plugged into a port, which disrupts charging cycles and can confuse BMSes. They rob Peter to pay Paul.
Granted, the 30W maximum isn't particularly high, but it is a true 30W, at all times, and more than sufficient for most mobile devices, if not laptops.
This one doesn't have to hide any compromises in the funny math marketing that sells most chargers, like the 65W charger now on the front page that drops to 45W max if more than one of its three ports is utilized, and must split 15W between the other ports if they are put to use.
Total the full output for every port when in use and it totals 112W, with the 30W max clearly labeled on the port itself. There are no hidden compromises in the specs, if one bothers to actually read and understand what they say.
30 + 20 + 20 + 18 +12 + 12 = 112
Try doing that math with most other chargers, and they will fail that test, and woe to those who don't read the diagrams that are required to help users decipher their true output limits.
Seeing this charger through the deceptive marketing prism used for most others does it a disservice.
As always, right tool for the right job.

I have a $100 200W 6-port combo charger but if I use more than 2 ports (port 1 for laptop + the rest lower power devices), output drops to 65W on port 1 and my 90W laptop complains the charger is not delivering enough power.
This Anker doesn't deliver very high power but at least it delivers what it says on the label. I don't need to refer to a chart to see what the output is if I use a combination of ports. I do think it's overpriced at the $40 MSRP but at $26, that seems pretty fair given the power output and number of ports you get.
As far as power blips when plugging devices, I do experience the unit pausing charging to the plugged in devices when adding another device. I did not see what @CrankyBastard mentioned above:
"Unlike many chargers, this one can supply full rated power to all of its ports simultaneously, and doesn't have to reboot itself to reallocate the power distribution when a new device is plugged into a port, which disrupts charging cycles and can confuse BMSes."
in the description of the product and thought the power reboot blips were normal since all of my other multi-port charges do this. So far the blips haven't had any negative impacts on my devices that i can see.
Other than the power blips, this unit performs well and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one at this price if I needed it.
For our family, this one's perfect for the living room for charging multiple lower power devices at the same time: 1x 30W USB-C (for tablets, phones, Switch, etc) + 2x USB-C 20W for iPhone MagSafe + miscellaneous USB-A cables (Kindle, AppleWatch, wireless headphones, electric toothbrush, etc).
