Anker 521 Power Strip

I needed a sleek solution to powering my monitor and chargers in my office and this has been great! I used adhesive to stick it underneath my desk to keep cables neat. Having the connectivity options of AC outlets and USB A and USB C is nice because I am not limited in what I can power and provides a lot of functionality in such a small unit. I have considered picking up a second one for traveling.

I mean, just go by the brand name and you should never have an issue. This is just amazing quality all around by anker.

Perfect as a portable “power” hub for old and new laptop, iPad, iPhone technology. Has enough outlets to charge several devices at once. Also has a high quality long main cord so it is pretty versatile and flexible. Very pleased with purchase.

Cheap product and poor customer supportWhen a monitor is connected from behind the rest of the ports are not workingAlso is noisy———-Update: Support contacted me and made quick troubleshoot and send a product replacement

Item as described and functions as expected.

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.

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.

The product is exactly as pictured. The housing and building quality far exceeded my expectation. Well done Anker for a great product. I bought two of them when I mad my purchase. It met my needs perfectly.
