My Travel Power Strip
Great power strip for traveling, Enough ports for 1 or 2 people and has some plugs in the back too. Power is good and charging is fast. Nice and compact and the best thing for me is that it has a small surge protector too, you never know how the power is outside of your area.

Own two!
I have two of these, and one has more USB ports than the other. I’ve gotten a great deal for the price, and I really appreciate how easy they are to use. The build quality is great, so I can plug everything in on my nightstands. The size and design also allow me to plug in a heating pad for her, since there’s a cool outlet on the backside. I glued one to each nightstand. I love them!

Very good, was what I needed
I'm kind of going down the line of all my purchases writing reviews here lol. This was purchased because I needed a portable and quaint power port for my laptop station. Essentially all ports are filled because I have so many gizmos and gadgets. So far I have no issues. That's not saying a lot because I'm a new buyer, but there are no funny smells, power issues between devices, lights, heat, etc. all the normal stuff you usually check.I keep my laptop plugged in at all times, and I can plug in my rechargable mouse since I keep the Anker on the desk with the USB cord ready. If I need to charge my headset there's a cord for that readily availble as well, especially if I'm in a Zoom meeting. My laptop only has 3 USB ports so this was a convenient purchase all the recharging tasks without utilizing power through my laptop's motherboard (since all laptops overheat like crazy nowadays).Constantly watching for overheating on my laptop, I needed something that would essentially charge everything all at once. This was my first time using Anker as I never heard of them before. Since this was working so well I also purchased the microSD card USB adapter to try that out - and while I know that is an entirely separate review, that's working really great as well. They seem to be a good company with quality electronics as my first impression.Looking at their portable speakers now as well which seems to be giving positive feedback among reviewers. Thanks Anker!

Best Charging Station I Own
I've been an Anker fan for awhile. They always have well designed and fun to use products. This charger is terrific. I just returned from a few weeks vacation in Europe and this charger was a loyal travel mate. It's easy to fit in my bag and has the versatility I needed to charge all of my devices (iphone, apple watch, earbuds, and hearing aids). The long cord was really a game changer when one of the hotels I stayed in didn't have an outlet on my side of the bed (pet peave). Luckily, my Anker charger has a 5 ft cord, and when connecting my 3ft charging cord, I had the length I needed to still have all of my devices on the night stand. The only thing that would make it better is to add one more USB type C port. But that isn't a significant issue. I highly recommend the Anker 521 Power Strip.

Compact Power Strip for Desktop
This Anker Power Strip is almost perfect. I was looking for a small strip that could power my Dell monitor, along with USB C and USB-A ports for charging my iPhone, headphones, and other devices. I have a standing desk that I can lower when I get tired of standing.My previous power strip had only USB-A ports and so the Anker was going to be better. However, after removing my previous strip, I discovered that the Anker is only has a 5 feet cord. For a standing desk this would not work. I had to get an additional 7 foot extension cord to utilize the Anker. My recommendation is that Anker make a 10 foot cord version for this strip.As for mounting, I was able to find some L shaped hooks at my home improvement store. I had to bend them slightly so that the Anker strip could comfortable slide in. To install, I took my handy power driver and drilled a starting hole and then utilized a screw driver to screw in the screws for the hooks. I then was able to slide in the Anker strip and it seems to be pretty stable. The Anker is mounted on the left side of my standup desk, underneath the table top. To tidy things up, I used mostly cable ties to secure the cables underneath and the extension cord is plugged into my UPS, which sits on the right hand side of the desk in its own shelf. This way I have a bit more space on my desk top.The Anker strip has worked great for everything I have plugged into it. I am giving it 4 stars just because I think the cable length really should be longer than 5 feet.

Goldilocks of Bedside Plugs
Not too many, and not too little. Just the right size, sleek and low-profile. It's exactly as descrihed. Three plugs on the back - for example, bedside lamp, phone charger, alarm clock - and two USB on front - say tablet/e-reader charger and I have a nightlight/star projector on the other one. It also has (for me, a spare) USB-C port on front too. With this, it's one too many, but that's just right. To not overdraw power, I use a three-plug cable to swap between my alarm clock in the evening and the charging the tablet in the day (i.e one cable with three end attachemnts micro-USB, USB-C, and apple charger), so at any given time one of the outlets and one or more of the USB slots or USB-C is not being used. This is an improvement over the previous anker power strip I had which was 3" tall and about 5" inches long. This would also make a great travel power strip.

Top notch power strip
Wow, talk about a space saver. This power strip has 3 AC plugs on the back, which are VERY handy for a nightstand. I also like the flat plug that it has. The nightstand fits in its place instead of sticking out a mile. The USB C port on the front charges my phone (Galaxy S24 Ultra) pretty quick for not being the "super fast charging"The two USB A ports are traditional. Noting to crazy about them. I use the one for a rechargeable Xbox battery.Install was easy, just get it out of the box, unwrap the cable tie and plug in. Super simple!I haven't noticed any issues with performance, it charges the devices that I plug in the front and provides power for the devices plugged in via the back.Is it worth the price? I'd say so, best addition to my bedroom.
