Anker PowerCore Speed 20000 PD

Anker has just released another new power bank called: PowerCore 20000 PD, from the name you would know it has over 20000mah and the PD is the interesting bit - power delivery. Opening the traditional Anker's white and blue package you can find the PowerCore itself and also a travel pouch, USB-C to USB-C cable and USB-A to Micro USB cable. It is long but not too big to fit in a winter coat, or my backpack, with this size but it has 21000mah capacity which is amazing!  I use it with my Macbook Pro 2016 touchbar version, interestingly it can charge the Macbook Pro. Also it has a normal USB port which can let me charge my phone and watch using my own cables.  I only have one suggestion, as this is the UK version, unlike the US version which has a wall adaptor, I would think a USB-A to USB-C cable would be nice to include in the package too, for people who doesn't have a USB C wall charger. I give this product 5 out of 5 ! I would recommend to anyone needs a power bank with...

Anker PowerPort Wireless 5 Pad, Ultra-Slim Wireless Charger

With the iPhone X and iPhone 8 coming out, wireless charging has become more and more popular, there are so many options and with the wireless charger from Anker I have great confidence and also it won't hurt my wallet. Opening the traditional Anker's white and blue package you can find the round disk charger as well as a micro USB cable included. To get started it couldn't be more easier, just plug the USB end to a wall charger or a computer's USB port and the other end to the round disc wireless charger, thats it! I have not yet purchased an iPhone X yet but I have a wireless charging adaptor which I use for my Kindle Paperwhite, I found with the wireless charger it is really convenient I usually read at night before going to sleep, and after I have done my reading I put the kindle on the charger and thats it, no need to worry it will run out of battery and no need to connect the charger in the dark. There is a small light on the disk to show its operational when ...

Anker Eufy Lumos Smart Bulb

Eufy is a new brand from Anker that is very well known for its power banks and charging solutions, this brand is for the home appliances like robot vacuum cleaner. The new Eufy Lumos Smart Bulb is a new product to the family, a lightbulb that can be turned on and off by using a smart phone app. Compare to the many other smart light bulb, Lumos has a great advantage: no hub or bridge is needed, only wifi signal that is available in most homes. this smart bulb I have is just white but they also do a coloured version. In test I have my wifi router at 1st floor and I have no problem control my light bulb on the ground floor even at the furthest point away, the light bulb is very bright at 800 lumen. One thing I would like to see it improve is to have IFTTT support, which would open a whole new world to have different conditions that automatically turn on/off the light bulb. 💡 I would recommend for people who need a smart light bulb, you can get from here:  Amazon Link ...

Anker® Bluetooth Headphones Sound In-Ear Buds Flow Review

Anker SoundBuds Flow comes in the Anker's newly designed box which is blue and white and with an image to show what is inside. In the package there is also a set of different sizes of plugs and a travel pouch. The headphones are really lightweight, and it can be folded into a small pouch provided, this is even more convenient than the stock headphones from my iPhone. The tip of the headphones are pointy and they fit my ears really nicely and very comfortable, when i plugged them in, i can barely feel them and they provide stability for when I am running or even cycling. The sound quality is great! They can block most of the noise out and have a strong bass, the sound quality is great! I would recommend for people who need a set of headphones for workout or even just everyday use, you can get from here:  Amazon UK Link

Anker Powerline+ II 6ft Red

The first thing this Anker PowerLine+ II Lightning Cable strikes is how long it is, at 6 feet it suits perfectly for me to put beside my bed and I can use and charge my iphone while lying on the bed. It is super simple to use, just like the stock cable plug and play, you can plug on a wall socket, computer or a powerbank. The build quality is really good, a lot thicker than the Apple one and a lot cheaper too! I have seen people dragging a car using this cable and it still works! That would definitely help when my two year old pulling my phone while charging (That’s how I lost my apple one). It is braided that means it is a lot more stronger and bendable than the rubber. This is now my favourite cable and I am thinking to buying another one to use in my office too. Here is the  Amazon Link .

Anker Roav Dash Cam C1 Pro

Roav is a new brand from Anker that is very well known for its power banks and charging solutions, this brand is for the car accessories. The new Roav Dash Cam C1 pro is the updated version of the old C1. It comes in a nice new packaging with very well designed graphics on it, showing the specs and images of the dash cam. After opening the box, the first thing presented is the dash cam itself, very neatly placed in a protective housing, underneath it there is the two usb car adaptor and a very long micro usb wire for connection to the camera. There is one more thing! - A 32GB micro SD card is also included with the dash cam, compare to many other vendors this is a really nice touch, it means you can use it directly without the need to hunt for a compatible card. Installation couldn't be easier, just find a suitable position on the windscreen and peer off the sticky pad then connect to the cigarette adaptor and thats it! At first run it will ask you to format the micro SD card and...

Eufy Lumi Stick-On Night Light

Eufy is a new brand from Anker that is very well known for its power banks and charging solutions, this brand is for the home appliances like robot vacuum cleaner. The new Eufy night light comes in a nice new compact packaging, with three in a box. The first thing strikes me is how small it is. Each of them takes three AAA batteries, I would suggest using rechargeable batteries to save some cost. However, the light should last about a year, as the LED has a very low energy consumption and it should really save the batteries. I use them at hall way and at toilet, they are extremely good for illuminate at night, it has a light sensor which means it won't be triggered at day time, and only when people pass by the PIR sensor will then activate the light. It is bright enough but not too bright to dazzle other people, especially for our on-suite toilet, as our son sleeps in our room too. I would recommend this to anyone that needs a night light and it is not too expensive too, here...

Anker Universal Magnetic Car Mount — Ultra-Compact Phone Holder

Anker Universal Magnetic Car Mount comes in a very nice blue and white packaging as other Anker products, inside each component is nicely placed and divided by the cardboard box inserts. It is really easy to assemble, there are only three parts to be put together: the sticker base which is installed on the car's dashboard, the middle magnetic plate with Anker's logo, and the phone plate. The phone plate can be either stick on the phone, the case or placed in between the case and the phone, it is super thin and doesn't feel like its there! Once everything is installed, to use it couldn't be simpler: get in the car and place the phone on the holder it will magnetically stick together without doing anything else. set the google map and you are good to go. The verdict: it is incredibly small but the magnet is strong, very easy to use and never worried about it falling off. it is very well made and looks fantastic in the car.

Anker PowerCore 10000 review

It is powerful and very high capacity of 1000 mah, yet in a very small size, it only just takes the space of a credit card. My other 10000mah is much larger than this one almost twice as large but this can charge my iPhone 7 plus a few times. I use this in many occasions: when I am out and about for some shopping; when I am playing Pokemon go especially when there is a Tyranitar raid you wouldn't want the phone run out of battery! Sometimes I use it even at home, because I can go around the house while still use my phone without putting it at the charging point. I would recommend this product, reasonably priced and good customer service.
