When it comes to charging up all your devices, or keeping them powered on outright, no one is doing it like Anker. This company has made a real name for itself as the premiere provider for wall chargers, portable power banks, and more. Among all its product line, this power strip really stands out. It’s normally priced at $27, but will occasionally drop down 33% to an even $20. It’s pretty much bounced back and forth between those two prices every few weeks since first being listed on Amazon a couple years back. Right now is one of the good weeks, so stock up now and save $7 on each one you snag.
No Struggle, Just Plug
The most impressive part of this power strip is that someone or a team of someones at Anker actually considered how annoying some electronics can be. Each of the six outlets are spaced apart from each other—three on each side, angled out away from the other three. Here, you won’t run into that annoying issue where an single plug ends up taking two or occasionally even three spots on the power strip. Nintendo, I’m looking at you. What the heck is going on with this abomination that is the Switch 2 adapter. Do better, please.
Anker, keep up the good work.
Any you know what? They’re doing just that. Not only are you getting these six AC outlets, but the bottom of the unit also comes with four USB ports—two USB-C and two USB-A. You can use it to charge your phone or other modern device. Tons of new tech accessories all seem to be USB powered, but only include the cable. Never the cube. I want the cube. But when these products don’t pack the cube, you thankfully won’t need the cube. You can skip the cube and just plug in directly to any of the the Anker power strip’s several USB ports.
Another thoughtful piece of engineering happening here is the plug. Like the power strip’s own plug you’re sticking into a wall outlet. Anker made it flat. REAL flat. It’s only 0.35 inches. That’s flatter than an Apple Watch. This can be super helpful when plugging in behind a cabinet or other bulky furniture. You won’t need to stand the whole piece a couple inches out from the wall to make room for the plug. Everything can stay flush right where it’s meant to be.
The cable is five feet long, but you can also grab a 10-foot option for $27 (down from $35). Each are available in your choice of black or white to better blend with your home or office aesthetic.
