If you’re in the market for a power strip that won’t hog desk space or your travel bag, the Anker 6-in-1 Power Strip, currently at $14.79 (down from $25.99), is a good option. At just under 10 ounces and about the size of an orange, it packs three AC outlets, two USB-A ports, and a 20W USB-C port, which should keep all your desk gadgets powered up neatly—plus, its five-foot cable gives you some decent reach so you’re not limited to huddling around one corner of the room.
The AC outlets on this device are on different sides of the cube, so bulky plugs won’t be elbowing each other out of the way. And, while most power strips come with safety features, Anker’s seven-point system (fire resistance, overheating protection, surge protector, and more) is reassuring if you’re plugging in expensive tech. It also reportedly offers worldwide voltage with the USB ports supporting an input voltage of 100-240V, making it convenient for travel.
That said, one user mentioned that when a second phone is plugged into the USB outlets, the first one stops charging. Additionally, the USB-A port does not support Quick Charge (devices with Quick Charge will charge at regular speed) and the USB ports aren’t compatible with laptops, so if that’s a dealbreaker, you might want to look elsewhere.
Alternatively, the Tessan Power Strip (priced at $19.11) and the One Beat Power Strip, currently at $12.99 (down from $19.99) offer similar features.
