I have been wanting a charger for a long time. I have purchased Anker products before and liked how they worked so I took a chance on this. My SO has one that plugs directly into the wall. It works great, but i wanted something that I could sit on my desk or nightstand to charge the myriad of devices it seems I have.
I received this item promptly and well packaged. One thing I have learned is that Anker takes pride in presentation. I have never received anything from them that looks like it got pulled off a shelf, stuffed in a plastic bag and shipped out. You can see from the photos that is was well packaged.
The device itself is tiny. just slightly larger than the 5 USB charging ports on it. I have a photo of it sitting next to a pad of sticky notes for comparison. It is not heavy, yet feels solid. It has a soft touch black coating which feels nice in the hand, but as you can see from the photos it is a finger print magnet and that is after i tried cleaning it up a bit.
I dont know anything from anything when it comes to electricity except you should not really play with it or touch a 9 volt battery to your tongue. It charges my devices reasonably quick. I dont know if its quick charge capable with samsung, my Note 4 doesnt seem to quick charge anymore so I cant tell you about this. I posted a photo of the charging using Ampere app. As you can see it is all over the place in mA but the voltage stayed the same at about 4.2. What that means, I dont know. It works. It works well. I charge my phones, tablets, and bluetooth speakers and i charge them all at once from this little guy and it seems to work just fine.
In summary, if you have to charge more than one thing at a time, get this. Its a wonderful device that works just as its intended and what more can you ask for. I highly recommend this, and in general recommend Anker products. Will buy again, probably several times for family members.
I did not receive this device free for testing or review(lucky jerks), so this is unbiased. Any questions feel free to ask.

A good investment for a home with multiple power-hungry devices
I own several Anker power adapters and portable chargers. The PowerPort 5 is a charger that I specifically recommend for home/dorm use. It is perfect when you want to de-clog your surge protectors or power cords while sharing the power adapter amongst everyone at home. The 5 ports are sufficient enough to charge your devices since it supports PowerIQ and VoltageBoost (providing the maximum charging speed).The PowerPort 5 device has a sleek matte feel and with the included adhesives, you can secure it on the side of the table to save space (which I did) or in any area you wish. The matte exterior made it less slippery should you decide to just place it on top of a surface without the adhesives.The good thing with its design (charger + cable), as compared to other multi-port chargers, is its stability when attached to a power port or cord, you wouldn't encounter issues with the charger tilting off the plug or occupying space by covering up other plugs. The downside of the design is in its portability. This is the reason why I recommend this for home/dorm/work use. I would recommend the Anker dual port or quad port charger for travel use.This is a universal charger and you could just keep all those power adapters that came with your devices. Just attach your devices with the appropriate cables to the PowerPort 5 and you would not need to worry about overcharging anymore. The surge protection feature is also a plus. I have tested this by charging an Android tablet, iPad, iPhone, Kindle, USB lamp, USB fan, and Bluetooth headset and speaker - the supported devices were flawlessly charged at their maximum charging speed.There are no indicator lights on this charger so this could either be an advantage or a disadvantage. Some folks prefer the indicator lights while some find it bothersome. I prefer the PowerPort 5's simple design with no lights, I find indicator lights glaring when I'm charging my devices at night with all the lights off.Getting the PowerPort 5 will make a good investment because instead of buying a surge protector plus multiple power adapters, you will only need this to charge as well as de-clog your plugs. It is quite affordable for the features that it supports.I have attached some photos comparing its size to an iPhone 5 for reference. It is slightly thicker than a deck of cards but not entirely bulky or heavy. It is still portable if you prefer it for travel use. The included charging cable's length is sufficient enough to position the power adapter away from a power outlet. The cable includes Velcro bands to organize it along with other cables or to just simply secure it when not in use.
