(checked 2026-10-10)Histogram read on the 2-pack listing, which shares its 7,950 ratings with the single-unit listing (B0BJQ7F16T).
Wirecutter's cheaper, lighter alternative to the Anker Prime. It can push 140 W from one USB-C port and costs about a third as much. The second port and total output are much lower, and Amazon owners are split on charging speed and battery life.
Top complaints
- Mixed reports on charging and battery life
Amazon's review summary says charging speed and battery life get mixed feedback: some say it lasts a long time, while others say it won't fully charge phones or dies instantly. Value-for-money opinions are also split.
- Less power and a basic screen next to premium rivals
Only one USB-C port reaches 140 W. The other tops out at 65 W, the USB-A port at 18 W, and total output is 145 W. Wirecutter notes it has less capacity than its top pick and a screen that shows only the battery level.
