5.0 out of 5 starsThe most convenient, versatile battery bank on the market - not even close
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2024
First off, I know what happened with Anker, but that doesn't matter with quality products. I own a UGREEN 25000mAh bank that I love to death, which is hefty but fits perfectly in my pocket. It's a great product, but this is on another level. I will probably write more about that in that review.
Anker has finally combined the best of two worlds: battery banks and charging bricks. It's a relatively small capacity and average speeds, but the plug is what sold me a year ago. Wall bricks are great. They charge things. But when you're travelling, there's no guarantee there's going to be one conveniently right where you sit. Battery banks are great. They also charge things. But when you get home or at your hotel, plugging it into the wall makes you lose a port for charging and it squirms and falls and is generally annoying. Now I can unplug this from my surge protector, go, charge wherever I want when I'm out and plug it back in and charge multiple things when I'm back. I can put this and a phone+airpods in a pocket in my jacket (30W), or I could plug it into a socket and charge my laptop (65W). It has no weaknesses beyond its capacity.
We can skip the quality part: it's very well built and feels nice in the hands. It won't break on you, it won't burn you, and it won't malfunction. GaN baby.
For the price it usually markets for ($60-70), buy it. I don't recommend it to you, I am SELLING it to you. Buy it. Sure, you can buy the same for cheaper. 10000mAh 30W batteries $20; 65W wall charger, <$30, but you will never need 2 separate things for charging with wires everywhere ever again. 2-3 wires, 1 brick = less space and hassle, more inner peace. Well worth the $10-20 premium. It is simply too convenient to not buy.
