Anker Review

The Anker Prime Docking Station (DL7400) brings 14 ports to your computer with a single cable. Featuring 2.5Gb/s Ethernet, three USB-C ports on the front (capable of 100W charging), built-in microSD and SD card readers, and the ability to support up to three displays (with one being 8K60), this dock truly does it all. It's also unique in that the Anker Prime Docking Station is standard USB-C, and not Thunderbolt, making it even more versatile. 

The Nebula X1 Pro impresses not only with its monstrous appearance, but also with its features. In addition to a image quality that is absolutely worth seeing, it also delivers impressive sound for a "mobile" solution, packaged in a generously dimensioned housing. The fact that it doesn't even have a battery is a shame for a device that is (also) intended for outdoor use. The question remains as to who the Soundcore Nebula X1 Pro is suitable or intended for. After all, it is not only large, heavy and unwieldy, so not really for the living room at home, but also expensive. The XXL projector's finest hour comes when it is used outdoors, preferably at dusk and in the evening. If you want to enjoy the FIFA World Cup with friends outdoors in summer, for example, or are looking for a laser projector with considerable brightness for events and the like, you will find what you are looking for here. However, your wallet should be able to keep up with your ambitions and wishes. At almost $5,000 according to the MSRP, the Nebula X1 Pro is anything but a bargain. Anker is known for its regular offers. Nevertheless, the surcharge for the Pro version (which is identical in terms of image technology) compared to the classic Nebula X1 is significant. The integrated sound system must therefore be desired above all to make these additional costs worthwhile.

Anker Solix has made a number of improvements to the second generation of its compact 1 kWh C1000 power station. Above all, it charges faster and also provides more output power. Nevertheless, it has become more compact and, above all, lighter. However, buyers also have to do without some of the functions of the first generation. For example, the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 can no longer be extended with an additional battery and no longer has an integrated LED light. Instead, it has a better LCD display. If you can live with the limitations, the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 is a solar generator in the 1 kWh class that can be used flexibly. At just under €1,000 MSRP, it is priced at the same level as comparable models from other well-known manufacturers such as the EcoFlow Delta 3 Plus and is often available for significantly less.

The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 power station is versatile and a perfect fit for my wife’s business, which is mobile as she has pop-up events at various locations. It has adequate ports, the battery lasts for days, and it is well-built enough to withstand the constant movement and handling. Well done.

With the smartest display we’ve seen on a dock, this is a solid choice if you want to connect three displays using dedicated video ports, but the lack of overall power lets down the otherwise appealing three 100W ports. Give it a 240W power supply and we’d rate this dock much higher.

The Anker Prime Docking Station 14-in-1 is a high-quality, versatile and practical docking station for anyone who doesn’t need the higher speeds of a Thunderbolt dock or wants to save some money.

The Anker SOLIX C1000 is much more than a mere power bank; it's an impressive power station that is worth every penny, especially when it's discounted, which it often is. It's far from lightweight, but I never regretted carrying it around with me. The generous range of ports would benefit from a few more USB options, but overall, I was rarely left wanting. If you're looking for a solution to keep your creative pursuits suitably powered then you won't be disappointed.

The Anker Prime Powerbank (26K, 300W) is an excellent energy solution for those who need maximum power. With the ability to charge two devices simultaneously via USB-C with 140 watts each, it is powerful enough to power even the most demanding technology on the go.

The Anker Prime 26K (300W) is an exceptionally powerful and well-designed portable charger that delivers huge performance in a bag-friendly size. Its OLED display and ultra-fast charging make power management effortless, and being able to charge and run a powerful laptop and other devices at the same time is a real win for on-location shooters. However, if you can get the most from the 140W output really depends on your devices, and many users might be better off looking at similar capacity, but slower – and therefore cheaper – options. $169.99 at Amazon

If in-car charging speed is of vital importance to you, the 25W Anker Prime is the fastest wireless car charger for iPhones that you’ll find. It’s sturdy in position with neat cable holders keeping your car tidy, and a dual-port USB charger is included.

The Anker 26K Power Bank (300W) is a slim high-capacity laptop charging power bank that can fast-charge two 16-inch MacBook Pro at the same time, or a 14-inch MacBook Pro 1.25 times over. With multiple ports you can take it on your travels and keep all your Apple devices charged while you are on the move.

The Anker Prime Power Bank, offering a battery capacity of 26,250mAh, can now supply up to 300W of power spread across three devices. That's a 50W boost from the prior model. This impressive battery can charge two devices simultaneously at 140W, but with an MSRP of $230, you're paying a premium to do so. 

The Anker Nano 10K Power Bank (45W) impresses with its fast charging, robust cable and practical display—a slightly chunky companion that you’ll love using on the go.

The Anker Nano Charger is a game changer for cluttered desks. Four USB-C ports take care of newer devices, while two USB-A ports helpfully mop up those devices that still use the old technology. 130W of total power shared across ports is more than enough to keep a laptop and phone powered at the same time. There's even enough left over for powering other peripherals. If I were being critical, then one point of improvement would be the inclusion of wireless charging on the top pad.

Anker’s 10K 45W power bank is a highly practical option, thanks to its convenient integrated cable and handy display. Overall performance is good too, so long as you aren’t trying to charge a laptop or any device with high power demands. Power output can be reduced pretty swiftly due to thermal throttling, and recharging could be faster, but these are fairly small complaints in light of the power bank’s talents. £39.99 at Amazon(White) £39.99 at Amazon £39.99 at Anker UK £39.99 at Anker UK

Anker Soundcore Boom 2 PlusWith its durable build, customizable light show and plenty of low-end on tap, the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus makes for an excellent party speaker, rain or shine.

“The Anker Solix F3800 Plus beats the competition in usability, versatility and value.”

Backup power becomes extremely easy with the Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus Portable Power Station. As a standalone power station, it is very versatile and can charge everything from your phone to your RV or EV. As the heart of a whole home power system, it can also plug into the SOLIX Home Power Panel and even be paired with expansion packs and solar panels to save you money and keep your lights on in times of need.

The Anker SOLIX F3000 Portable Power Station offers high-end performance that is very similar to Anker's top-of-the-line options. It is more portable and affordable, though, making it a better choice for hybrid use and buyers who need elite power at home and on the go.

The soundcore Sleep A20 are Anker’s second attempt at sleep earbuds, and they’ve done an excellent job. I’m sold after one night. Are they worth R2,800? Without a doubt – if, like me, you sleep with earbuds. If you are a light sleeper and struggle with noises, these are a very good option to check out.

You might not expect much from a speaker that costs a few hundred bucks and sits comfortably on the palm of your hand but Anker's Select 4 Go will outdo its price point. It's also cheap enough to easily let you try out its stereo pairing features without seeing your bank balance drop much. Plus, it floats.

If you've got just enough money to splurge on Anker's new Soundcore Space One Pro, you won't be disappointed by the 40-hour battery life here, nor its armadillo cosplay and flexible hinge. But when the original Space One cans are still very much available with similar audio chops and 35 hours of battery, it's difficult to recommend that users go Pro.

The Anker F3800 Plus is an updated version of Anker's F3800 solar generator, offering the same 3.84kWh capacity and 6000W output. This model comes with improved charging, with a new max solar input of 3200W and 165V, along with support for 240V from a gas generator.

Anker's Prime 6-in-1 200W Charger is perfect for powering all of your gear. With the ability to output 100W from two USB-C ports simultaneously, or 65W/65W/45W/25W when all four USB-C ports are in use, you'll find this charger can easily run even power-hungry devices like the 14-inch MacBook Pro. Add to that the dual 12W USB-A ports, and you can even charge things like an Apple Watch, mouse, or other lower-powered devices all at one time. With six total ports, this charger only takes up a single wall outlet, helping simplify your charging setup.

The Anker SOLIX EverFrost 2 battery-powered cooler (40L, 42QT) is packed with tech, not ice, gets cold fast and is perfect for outdoor adventures, tailgating, and more. 

This Thunderbolt 5-compatible dock has 14 ports, fast charging for connected accessories, and a compact cube design. It also works with Thunderbolt 4 and USB4, though your speeds and data bandwidth will be more limited.

The Anker SOLIX F3000 Portable Power Station has incredible versatility for everything from backup power to outdoor adventures. It’s not the easiest to transport, but its expandable feature set makes up for it.

When my phone runs low, I need a compact charger I can count on. The Anker 313 Power Bank (PowerCore 10K) continually proves itself on flights, long drives, and alpine adventures.

We rate the Anker MagGo 10K Slim Power Bank magnetic power bank for its slim profile, mega recharging power and 15W Qi2 wireless or 30W wired speeds. Owners of the iPhone 15 and 16 might prefer its less slim sibling MagGo 10K power bank for its flashy LED display or the Baseus 10K Power Bank for its integrated USB-C cable, but the Anker MagGo Slim is more svelte and pocketable and beats them both on power and speed.

The MagGo 10K Power Bank For Apple Watch offers fast charging, a large power capacity, a practical form factor, and a very informative display.

The Anker Zolo Magnetic 10K Power Bank boasts a huge battery capacity in a compact and light-enough body, wireless and 30W wired charging, and the best performance we’ve tested so far on any iPhone power bank. It’s built for the iPhone 15 and 16 but will work with any MagSafe iPhone.

Highly portable, this is a minimalist wireless multi-charger that will be a boon to all owners of Apple Watch, iPhone, and AirPods, not only on their travels but at home or in the office, too.

This is a fine charger with a different take on port placement that will please those for whom technology’s impact on a home or work environment is important.

This compact power bank might be Anker’s best-ever power bank. And since the price is right, we give it an unreserved recommendation.

This powerful and stylish dock is built for the new class of Thunderbolt 5 Macs is a recommended upgrade ready for the latest Macs or your next one.

Although the Anker Nano MagGo 5K Slim is extremely thin, it performed impressively in our recharging tests. It is ideal for users who value low weight and design.

The Anker Nano 5K Power Bank might be small in capacity (only 5,000 mAh), but in every other meaningful way, it delivers in abundance. The slim and compact case is lightweight enough to be transported around and can even magnetically attach to your phone while you continue to browse the web or reply to a text. Some power banks struggle with heat management, but not so with this Anker Nano. Thanks to a graphene structure and dual NTC chips, heat is expertly managed. The only downside would be how expensive it is.

A neat power bank with handy integrated screen, although it's best to come with realistic expectations of its charging speed.

Anker took a no-frills external battery design and buffed it up with a flip-out USB-C connector. It can increase its utility, as long as you're not worried about the extra strain put on your phone's USB port. However, power delivery and efficiency are nothing special. Maybe wait for a sale on this one to avoid disappointment.

While the Anker Soundcore Space One Pro headphones are comfortable to wear, have decent ANC, and offer valuable features, their over-emphasized bassy sound may be too much for most casual listeners. With an overwhelming number of EQ presets to select from, it takes some work to prevent these headphones from constantly rattling your brain. If you're uncomfortable using a custom EQ or unwilling to spend the time fine-tuning these cans, you might want to look elsewhere.

The Anker MagGo SD Card Reader is one of the tidiest card readers on the market that are made specifically for iPhones. It's small, well-built and will connect magnetically to MagSafe phones. The device will work on any USB-C device, but the magnetic connection is designed specifically for iPhones. It's quite a niche product, but Anker has absolutely nailed it with this offering. $8.99 at Amazon $8.99 at Amazon $8.99 at Amazon $24.99 at Best Buy
