Anker USB Plug 5.4A/27W 4-Port

When I purchased this I wanted a quick charger for my Samsung S8, so I went ahead and ordered it. I tried it on my Samsung wireless quick charger and it did not work. I then tried directly to the phone with the Samsung charging cable and still didn't work. I then decided to read the listing again and because it says it is a quick charger I thought it would be but as I read on I noticed it says "Not Compatible With Qualcomm" This bit should have been more clearly printed on the header but not everyone would see it and like many of us thought it was a qualcomm quick charger but we are wrong. This is a 27W 4 port charger and will allow you to have 4 phones/tabs on charge at the same time without losing power. But when I realised it was not a quick charger and although it did say it was, I knew there were a lot of people reading this wrong. I did have an email from Anker apologising for the confusion and they did say they are going to forward the messages to the powers that be. Let us all hope they can make the wording clearer and make us all realise in BOLT TYPE that it is not a quick charger for the Samsung S8 etc. The charger itself is a darn good charger for charging more than one phone and up to 4 phones without losing power so for that and for the kindness of Anker sending me a replacement (after I sent it back) that will be a fast charger for my Samsung S8 and giving me my money back is and was a good gesture and very kind. I cannot fault Anker really and I do buy a lot of Anker products and I will carry on buying Anker products as it is one of the best brands on the market today. It is just a simple wording fault that needs changing so everyone can understand that this is not a Qualcomm Quick charger and just a powerful ordinary charger for ordinary phones. I must however say thank you to Anker for understanding and I hope they can now get this wording sorted out so all you buyers know it is not a Qualcomm QC. For all the quick help and understanding from Anker I will now give 5 stars and well done Anker, please keep up the fantastic after sales support.

This is my 4th Anker product all have been great and have stood the test of time, they are a brand I now trust, quality products at a reasonable price. (previously products were a portable battery, replacement lightning cable, Bluetooth travel keyboard) This charger is sleek but solidly built and all the 4 ports charge quickly. I originally bought it for travel in Europe to charge all my devices at once and occasionally some of my travelling companions devices without fights over the power socket! At 27 Watts output there is a lot to share between devices. I have had 4 items plugged in simultaneously and each charged quickly these were, iPhone (5W), iPad (12W), Apple Watch (5W), Kindle (5W). Some of my travel companions were also surprised by how fast it charged their devices. That said there is a limit and I suppose if you tried to charge 2 fullsize iPads and 2 top of the line phones simultaneously it MAY not charge each quite as quickly, but I haven't tested this. The easily changeable plug allows you to change between European and UK without fuss, my only minor complaint is that there is not an included attachment for USA or Australia, but those are cheap to purchase. I now use this as my default charger at home and have been very happy with it. Another great product from Anker

Never have an issue with Anker, products are generally of a good quality and feel premium, this item no different, yes cost a little more but it’s definitely good quality

I bought this charger so that we could charge up multiple devices at once, and it comes with UK and EU adaptors. This is very useful when travelling, as it reduces the number of chargers you need to take, and there isn't a queue to get your device charged. As a charger it handles any device (or devices) we have thrown at it and works fine (this includes iPhones, iPads, Kindles and Android devices) with no over long charging times. The downside is, the unit itself is quite heavy (approx 140g) which gives it a solid feel, but also tends to pull downwards on the wall outlet, so when you come to unplug your USB cable (with the UK adaptor fitted), you have to hold the unit to prevent unplugging the whole thing, not a major issue, just a bit annoying. However, with the EU adaptor fitted it is more of a problem, as the design has the 2 pin EU plug sitting horizontally (most of the sockets I have seen are vertical. in Italy, at least, I don't know about the EU as a whole) so the weight will be twisting the unit in the socket over time. It still works fine, but an adaptor with the pins sitting vertically may have been a better idea. Overall though, a very good quality, versatile charger.

good product, works just fine

So handy I bought a 2nd one. Ok so by today’s modern standards this isn’t a high wattage charger BUT for my needs this does an excellent job of charging 4 devices at home with the UK plug when at home from a single outlet. This unit comes into its own when travelling to Europe, the ability to swap the plug from UK 3 pin to EU 2 pin means there are no adapters needed, which I have found in the past always seem to get very hot. Due to the design it’s much more secure/stable in the EU power outlets than a uk charger with an adapter. No need to take loads of different plugs for different devices, just take the required amount of charging leads and this. Compact enough to fit in a bag, good value and charges multiple devices at once from one power outlet.

Usual decent Anker quality. Good value.
