I know the saying is not to brag on anyone or anything because as soon as you do that's when things go wrong. Well I must say, I beg to differ because this is not my first time ordering a a product from this company.

Anker definitely has really good products. I literally feel like a little kid all over again opening up products by this company. I absolutely love the packaging and the details they put into the packaging designs.

I have another charger by Anker its a USB C charger, I ordered it well over a year ago and I must say it's still in amazing shape and working just as well as the first day.

I love the fact that the plug boy end can fold up for a neat storage, plus it helps for the boy end of the charger not to get bent. I personally recommend this brand to anyone looking for sturdy chargers. Its sleek and very durable. You definitely will get a great quality charger.

I noticed some of the reviews say that Anker is not a very good company in so many words. Though I can respect that everyone's experience is different. I personally have had a wonderful experience thus far. I know own 2 chargers and cables by this company. I definitely will continue to give Anker my business.

I can't tell you how many times, I've been in a hurry needing to charge my phone and in the matter of 5 or 10 mins it definitely charges pretty fast. I've yet to be disappointed in this company after several years of buying products from Anker. It's 5 stars for me Amazon folks, hopefully this helps.

More Power Info: Label on device says it delivers 12 watts to a 5 volt device (IE iPad, iPhone).

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2020

There's NOTHING WRONG with this device. In fact it's very intelligently designed with the PIQ (Power IQ) technology, which prevents over-voltage conditions.

I gave it 3 stars to incentivize people to read my review. After all, who reads all the 5-star reviews anyway?

If you're looking for a phone or iPad charger only, then THIS IS PERFECT. But if you're powering additional equipment, you may need something with more power.

I'm posting this so buyers can make a better informed decision for their needs.
It's a fine charger but as a 5 volt charger, I don't see it being more powerful than the Apple factory charger.

Remember this: Watts = Volts x Amps.

If the product page on Amazon had showed what the sticker on the device shows, I'd have purchased a model higher.

Note that the Label on the Anker Power Atom III reads:

"USB C Output / 5V at 2.4A / 9V at 3A / 15 V at 3A / 20V at 2.4A"
I tried attaching a picture here to show you, but the website wouldn’t accept it for some reason.

If you're using a USB Hub, and want power to spare, read the power recommendations of your USB hub first. I didn't notice that my Hub recommended the Anker 100 watt "Power Port Atom PD4"... My bad...

So here's my story:

I purchased this to power an "Anker PowerExpand+" 7 in 1 USB-C hub, through which I plan on charging my 2020 iPad Pro (if it ever arrives from China). The hub itself uses some power, and so will anything that I connect to it (IE drives etc). I needed to make sure it had enough power to run and charge the iPad Pro while it also forwards the HDMI signal from the iPad to my monitor. After reading that this unit provides 60 watts, I thought I'd be fine. But, until I received it, I had no idea that the Label on the device said only 12 watts for a 5 volt application. Anker tech support told me I lose 15 watts of charge power as it passes through the hub. That’s why they recommend their 100 watt unit for use with the Hub. My problem is if this Anker Power Atom III only delivers 12 watts at 5 volts, then I'm in the mud by the time power comes out to charge my iPad Pro. Right? 12 watts available going into the hub, minus the 15 watts the hub eats up on the way to the iPad Pro, leaves a negative number. Right?

So, I’m better off just charging the iPad directly and not using this to power a Hub also.

Comparing to the factory charger:
The IPad factory charger provides 5.2 volts at 2.4 amps, which is 12.48 watts, which is slightly more power than the Anker Power Atom III, when providing 5 volts.
The sticker on the Anker device says the USB-C connector delivers 5 volts at 2.4 amps, which equals 12 watts.

I was concerned at the prospect of over voltage, but Anker tech support says the charger is a smart device and will only deliver the proper voltage. And judging from the good reviews on Amazon, I'm confident it won't damage my iPad.

Still, If only 5 volts is demanded by the device (I.E. iPad, iPhone) then the label says you'll only get 12 watts.

So, bottom line: READ YOUR POWER REQUIREMENTS for anything extra, like a Hub etc. before purchasing a charger to power everything.

Anker awesome product better customer service. Thanks

PLEASE READ EDIT

INITIAL REVIEW: I spent a little extra to get a good brand and wanted a super faster charger for my s21 and this has a 45w charger, sadly it doesn't do super fast charging pretty disappointed. Rather large as well

EDIT: 6/16/2021: turns out I ordered a 45 watt charger but not the proper one that has the right tech for Samsung and superfast charging. Turns out it might have been my error and not only that Anker saw my review, told me they were sorry and sent me a new charger and I received it quickly. They fixed an issue that really sounds like it might have been my fault. Awesome

Thoughts on the proper charger: wow this thing is well made weight wise, it feels like picking up a bar of soap haha weird comparison I know, the charger itself is much smaller. The quality and look is top notch and super fast charging 2.0. What more can you ask for other than amazing customer service. This is a huge company that took the time to fix something like a 3 star review, that quite honestly was my fault. I will remember this and I will be recommending them always. I buy lots of phone accessories and work in the cellphone industry. Anker taking the time and effort will not be lost on me. Thanks so much for turning that around for me. I honestly don't even know where the old charger is because it didn't serve the purpose I had. I bought another Samsung 45 watt charger and I can say the Anker is nicer than the factory charger.

Convenient and versatile quick charger.

It accepts Standard USB and USB-C connections and a 60W it make this "brick" charger quick and versatile in its ability to accept common USB connections. As a side note, I have been using Anker cables for years and haven't had a failure or short yet.

A real fast charger

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2023

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I’ve been using Anker’s chargers for years, they never disappoint. This 60W in particular feels premium, and when paired with the Anker 641 cable it completes the premium build. Fastest charger I have in the arsenal, including apples 20W. If you have the extra cash, 10/10 would recommend

Light and versatile, but the Type C port only puts out 45W.

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2019

Color: WhiteVerified Purchase

Something to keep in mind with this particular charger is that the Type C port maxes out at 45W, with 15W leftover for the USB-A port. For a dual port charger it's quite light, weighing about the same as the older (non-GaN) Powerport Speed 1 even though it's 2/10 of an inch bigger in height and length.

If you're skittish about adherence to USB-IF standards, none of the newer chargers with PowerIQ, Quickcharge, etc. are compliant. Whereas some of the older like the Anker 60W PowerPort Speed 1 *are* USB-IF certified.

Plus, it seems like the average person is unlikely to even notice a difference compared to Power Delivery unless they have a Quickcharge device and they're staring at it with a stopwatch.

Durable and Multi Charging

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2024

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I have had one of these and my college son needed one too since he has an Apple Watch too! The cord that charges watch fits in upper smaller slot (c usb) while the other used to charge cellphone. Only thing I don’t like is the plug to wall flips sometimes and your have to flip up so it goes into wall just right.

an EXCELLENT QUALITY AC ADAPTER for TABLETS/CELLULAR PHONES/CHROMEBOOKS

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2023

Color: WhiteVerified Purchase

I am writing this review on 03 July 2023, a Monday, and this Anker AC adapter has been in use for a couple of years. This Anker device is attached to an APC brand uninterruptible power supply. I use it to charge Samsung tablets, LG and Motorola cellular phones and Hewlett-Packard Chromebooks, through the device's USB-C port. This AC adapter is plugged into and recharging devices 24 hours per day. When one device is charged I connect another device. The device is performing perfectly and this is testimony to the fact that the construction and design quality is excellent and I highly recommend this brand and model.

Correction USB-C is 43W

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2023

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I have an Anker 24K power bank that displays charging wattage. When it is plugged into this charger via USB-C (via a 100W rated cord) it only charges at 20W (19.1 to be exact). If I use another USB-C charger (eHO 65W), the power bank charges at 43W.
Don't expect a lot from this charger.
EDIT: Correction. I let the USB power bank discharge to 60% then tried this charger again I got 43W. So I raised my rating of this charger. It performs as advertised.

Good little charger

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2023

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I purchased this for my new Pixel 8 Pro. It required a minimum 30-watt charger for fast charging. But since the USB-C port is 45 watts, it goes into adaptive charging to not overheat the battery and thus extend its life expectancy. Many of these chargers will state 30 watts, but that is the total ports combined so in essence some of these chargers are only 10 watts and will not properly charge the newer phones.
