Anker 20W USB C Power Strip with 3 Outlets and USB Charging - Compact

Our review of the Anker 20W USB C Power Strip finds it most useful for anyone who needs a compact, all-in-one desktop power solution. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of three AC outlets plus two USB-A ports and a 20W USB-C port in a cube roughly the size of a tennis ball, which keeps a dorm room or small home office tidy while powering phones, tablets, and a few peripherals from one spot. It feels built for convenience and portability rather than a heavy-duty surge protector.

Key Features

• All-in-One Power: Three AC outlets and three USB ports let you plug in a monitor, lamp and phone charger without an extra power brick taking desk space.
• 20W USB-C Charging: The USB-C port can charge phones and small tablets at up to 20W, making it a good bedside or desk charger for modern phones.
• Shared USB Output: The two USB-A ports deliver up to 12W each but share a combined 15W when used together, which helps when charging multiple older devices.
• Compact Footprint: At about 2.2 in square and 2.2 in tall, the cube design minimizes clutter and is easy to pack for travel or moving between rooms.
• Safety System: A 7-point safety system includes fire resistance and protections against overloads and short circuits for safer everyday use.
• Long Cord and Warranty: The 10 ft extension cord and an 18-month warranty plus a connected equipment warranty provide flexibility and peace of mind.

Who It's For

This power strip is ideal for students in dorm rooms, people setting up a tidy home office, and anyone who needs to charge phones and plug in a few small appliances without a bulky surge strip. The small size and 10 ft cord make it especially convenient where outlet access is limited or furniture placement forces creative cable routing.

It is less suitable for someone who needs high-wattage charging across multiple USB ports at once or who prioritizes advanced surge suppression for expensive home theater gear. Users who require Quick Charge 3.0 or simultaneous maximum Power Delivery on multiple ports should consider a larger charger or dedicated PD hub.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Compact cube design saves desk and floor space while offering three AC outlets.
• USB-C 20W port provides fast phone charging for modern devices on a small unit.

• Includes an adhesive strip and a useful warranty and connected equipment protection.

Cons

• USB-A ports share output and the total USB output is limited, so multiple-device charging slows down.
• Some reviewers report occasional USB-C port issues, so functionality may vary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the USB-C port support Power Delivery for phones?
Yes, the USB-C port delivers up to 20W for fast charging compatible phones and small tablets.

Can the USB-A ports charge two phones at full speed?
The two USB-A ports can deliver up to 12W each, but they share a combined 15W when both are used, so charging speed will be reduced when both ports are active.

Is this power strip surge protected for sensitive equipment?
The unit includes multiple safety protections like overload and short-circuit protection, but it is positioned as a compact power strip rather than a heavy-duty surge suppressor for high-end home theater systems.
