I Ordered 3 of These But Only 1 of Them Worked!

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2024

I ordered 3 of these about a month apart. Only 1 of the 3 worked! Since they were given as gifts, one of them was past the ‘return-by’ date by the time I found out it didn’t work.

Not only was I embarrassed because I gave it as a gift, but I was basically ripped off because I can’t return it.

Anker used to be a good company. Did they outsource there products to be made somewhere else? I have attached a picture of the product that doesn’t work. Just for kicks I’ve also included another Anker product in the background of the photo. It’s the white charging block. I bought it someplace else and as you can see, the faceplate won’t stay on it. But I digress; this review is about the black multi-port charger shown.

I would like this seller to contact me since I am outside the return window of one of these and it was never even used once.

In the meantime I recommend that no one buy this product until the manufacturer can explain what’s going on and why only 1 product out of 3 works.

Untill we have the same connector, this is a must have

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2023

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I bought this to travel and for my car because I got tired of having one cable for every different device I had and also so passengers that don't have the same device can charge their phones in my car.

I find that the tips don't stay as tightly on as when you first get it but, nothing a bit of pressing doesn't fix; it seems wiggling expands the metal connector and it becomes a bit lose. This is particularily true for the one I use almost every day, which I need to use with the lighting adapter. Regardless, the first one i bought is like 5 years old and it worked excellent up until the day I closed the door on it and broke it.

Pros
No kink
Universal
Charging power
Sturdy

Cons
Loose connectors over time

Anker cords are a good choice

I have never been disappointed when using Anker branded cords. This is a sturdy cord that gives you choices of what type connector you want. I have used all 3 for charging with no problems.

These are a handy option to replace 3 cords in the every changing USB cable game. I find them too short for my standard applications and not very flexible. I prefer the "braided" cable coverings and something at least a meter long. These say 3 feet, but the usable length is more like 34". First Anker product I have been disappointed in.

It's the 1 charging cable you'll need.

Almost the universal charging/ data cable for any current device (most cell phones), a little tricky to use at first, but it works for all 3 charging types.

Cut Down on Carrying Multiple Cables - as Long as You’re Okay with Connecting One at a Time.

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2020

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

We’re in a time of change at the moment from a cable standpoint (and perhaps from other areas too, but that’s another topic!). If you have multiple devices, you likely have a need to carry multiple cables just to have the right connections, as many devices - particularly older android devices or small electronics - still use MicroUSB, newer Android phones, newer small electronics and iPad Pros use USB-C and iPhones and non-Pro iPads use Lightning. Charging all of these devices (and syncing them to a USB-A device, as many PCs/laptops still are) requires multiple cables, even if you only want to work with one at a time.

Enter this handy cable. At it’s heart, it’s a USB 2.0 USB-A to MicroUSB data and power cable - one made with the quality that I’ve come to expect from Anker. Then they permanently (via short rubberized - read as nice feel, but not stretchy - durable connectors) attached MicroUSB to Lightning and MicroUSB to USB-C adapters. This means that in a heartbeat you can go from charging a MicroUSB device to either a Lightning or USB-C device with the same cable and back again! Great for travelers and those looking to cut down on cords.

That said, there are a few caution notes to know before you buy (these are not worth removing a star as they are simply the way the product works, and I knew about them in advance, but still worth noting for those that are looking to buy this):

- Because it’s a USB 2.0 cable with a USB-A end, it doesn’t support “rapid” charging that many USB-C and some Lightning devices now support. It would carry only up to about 15W or so (the max standard via USB-A) if your AC adapter (sold separately) can support that.
- Again, because it’s a USB 2.0 cable, it is limited to USB 2.0 speeds regardless of which connector you use.
- MOST IMPORTANT - Due to the use of adapters (vs a split in the cable itself as some other cables employ), only one device at a time can be charged/connected. While this is slightly less useful as you cannot connect three devices and let them sit/charge, it does allow data connections to work on all three types of devices (one at a time) vs the split models that are usually power only.

Again, I knew about these limitations in advance, so it’s not a dealbreaker nor worth removing a star - it’s a great cable that performs as advertised and is just what I wanted - but these are things you should know going in.
