Anecdotally, I've always been reasonably pleased with their products. I think I've owned a couple of powerbanks, and a USB/HDMI hub. Of the <Insert_random_smattering_of_letters> brand names on Amazon, I do tend to lean towards them a bit more.

edit: having said all of that, relating to this article, I don't want AI anywhere near the products of theirs I'm currently buying.

Oh, they've been pushing AI on my earbuds for a long time now. I just ignore them.

Anker is a brand where buying a product feels like pulling the lever on a slot machine. I'm either going to get a product that works great and I love it, or it's going to feel half-baked and fail early.

This. I bought two Anker laptop chargers and both died died within weeks. Not a fan.

They will replace your powerbrick though

Extremely happy with my Anker Boom 2, it's amazing how much a clear and punch it packs for half the price of the nearest JBL product.
