Anker 60W 6-Port Family-Sized Desktop USB Charger with PowerIQ Technology for iPhone, iPad, Samsung S6 / S6 Edge, Nexus, HTC M9, Nokia, Motorola and More (White)

I've been using this little beastie for a couple of weeks now in conjunction with some Volutz braided cables, and here are my impressions to date.First up, I bought the white and silver version, which makes for a tidy looking unit. The unit appears to be well put together and of robust construction.The six usb ports all work well and provide positive contacts to inserted cables. Having read some reviews that suggested that some users had experienced failing ports, I was quietly cursing when I found that a port had apparently given up the ghost after a couple of days,although the blue operating light remained lit. I was on the point of returning the unit when I thought to try the integrity of the electricity input cable. Sure enough, it turned out that the cable had come slightly loose (the unit was on the floor, so I suppose this should not have come as a major surprise), and when this had been disconnected and fully reconnected, the problem was solved and all six ports were again working as sweetly as nuts.So how well does the unit perform as a charger? It claims to use 'Power IQ Technology' to establish the optimum current to recharge a given device, and given the 60W rating I was anticipating good things from it. Fair to say, I have not been disappointed. A first generation Nexus 7 tablet charges well (not always a given in the past!) and a Sony Experia phone charges remarkably quickly, as does my own Samsung; each time a short time on charge does seem to yield a better-than-expected increase in battery charge. The same applies to an Ipad; it moves from 64% charge to being fully charged in impressively short order. I have used both the supplied and Volutz cables, and in both cases the unit has performed excellently; I now use it with the Volutz cables, and remain one happy bunny!Is it worth buying at the price? I would say it absolutely is. It makes for a handy unit to take on holiday for families like ours that are replete with usb-chargeable devices, and the speed of charge (sustained when multiple devices are being charged) makes this little device well worth its price tag.

I bought this not for charging devices but rather for powering USB powered devices such as USB fans and such.I cannot say anything negative about it what so ever.I use it to power 6 USB fans, all 6 fans work at their full potential. this 6 port charger is awesome, its turned on 18 hours a day, everyday and will be on everyday until it completely breaks which i hope it wont.i am more than impressed with it. i havent detected any hot spots to cause any concern on the casing with such heavy usage, in fact it barely warms up at all even after 18 hours using all 6 ports at full power.i have seen other people writing reviews about one or 2 ports failing to work over time, i have not seen this at all. Even if you do get that problem where one or more ports just stop working wihtout warning, just unplug it, let it stand for 30 secs then plug it back in. charger should be fixed.Love it thank youAddition to this review:I have been using this product now with all 6 ports constantly active, powering USB fans. i mean litterally running 24 hours per day, everyday for the last 2-3 months.After using it over this period of time i have now encountered the issue other people are talking about with one or 2 ports failing to work.This is very simple to solve, it no different to turning your phone on and off when it crashes. Being a smart charger, able to detect the power requirement of the device plugged in, on occasion a usb port or two will stop working. All it has done is crashed "so to speak" simply turning the charger off at the wall for 5-10 seconds, then plug it back in hast it back in full working order.with my constant use of this device i have been paranoid, you hear all these stories of products malfunctioning and causing fires.This device does not get hot what so ever, it gets warm, only only stays warm. I havent detected no hot spots, no parts feel uncomfortable to leave it unsupervised.in all money well spent for sure. havent regretted this purchase at all, in fact it was the most perfectly suited product for my use. no need to have plugs everywhere. just one wall socket is all it takes.

Anker makes great products.This charger is another addition to that list of products.Was purchased as we have too many devices in the household that requires charging on a daily basis.Works really well as we rid of all the charging bricks from the various manufacturers.Bonus when on holiday as all I need is this charger and the various cable in addition to a Apple Ipad brick as backup if this does not work. It worked seamlessly on holiday to Portugal.Pros:1) Fast charging for Iphone SE, Iphone 5, Ipad Mini 4, Ipad Mini 1, Lumia 640 XL, Blackberry all being charged at the same time!!2) Does not heat up3) Fits perfectly into Ikea cable management box, KVISSLE4) Reduced clutter tremendouslyCons:NoneConclusion:Highly recommended for being reliable and uncl
