Great review, as always! Anker 735 rocks in my personal use. I’ve been traveling for 8 months and this unit consistently charges my MacBook Pro, iPad, and iPhone so fast that I don’t even worry about charging anymore. I connect a device and in under 30 minutes I’ve got enough juice to use it for a few hours. No-brainer buy!
I believe the reason for the design difference in the Anker plug is due to the taller (older) version having a tendency to fall out of a vertical wall outlet…especially in a frequently used/ worn outlet(e.g., hotel room) This is because the older version of the plug is top heavy. The shorter/stubby (new) version shouldn’t have that problem. However, this newer version will take up more space on most power strips and may not fit as easily into an office desk power supply (e.g., the type built into the top of a lot of corporate conference room desks).
Plz dont stop making content. I literally buy whatever u recommend. I buy my cases, chargers, and screen protectors solely based on ur top pick. Ur a legend man ❤
I have one of their 65w chargers that looks like the more rectangular anker one in this video and it's been serving me great. I use it to charge my steam deck but sometimes I charge that and my phone at the same time and it works great
I know videos can’t be infinitely long, but one thing I care about more than anything is footprint. I’m usually in situations where speed of charging doesn’t matter a ton. On the other hand, I frequently find myself short of outlets. Finding a charger that takes up exactly one outlet is tougher than you might think! So many of them encroach on the outlets around them. Great video!
The Voltme 65W is not safety listed. A CE mark is self-declared and thus worthless. Chargers have been known to electrocute people by allowing high voltage to pass through to the low voltage side. Most chargers under 100W don't have power factor correction and are inefficient. For low power chargers it's not a big deal but at 65W its wasteful. Some chargers do not meet USB PD voltage specifications, excessively sag under load, or have significant ripple. Some chargers will overheat and throttle. Is all of this being tested?
0:58 - For the products with indicator lights, I would’ve loved to have seen tests on how those indicator lights affect the ambient light level in a fully dark room? My thinking here is that sometimes product LEDs might look okay during the daytime-but come nighttime when you’re trying to sleep, they end up illuminating half the room.
I love your “best” videos, because it’s always stuff that as a techie I’m sure n the lookout for. Unfortunately these videos always come out about a month or two after I’ve made my purchases 😂
I’m using the Anker 313 charger 45W and so far I love it. It’s small, doesn’t get hot and I think it’s perfect balance between too much wattage and too little.
Thanks a lot. Especially when it comes to compact multichargers, some of us are traveling worldwide (you know, Digital Nomads), so a test of fitting compact socket adapters for worldwide travel for your multicharger would be great.
Curious to ask, is it better to 1. to use one charger like 735 and then add a plug changer (like changing British to America) to the local charger requirement 2. or is it better to just buy one that has multiple plugs version like the anker powerport 3 3. or those big ass square like chargers that can in and out different versions?
@@wilsonlamlyt7138 Personally, so far I travel with Apple‘s Dual Charger, as only Apple‘s chargers have a solid system with interchangeable wall plug types, which is just much more convenient to use within a country, instead of adding some wobbly lengthy clunky adapter to your charger, that often won‘t attach properly to the wall. I would love to see a solution with a powerful charger and several outlets, that has an interchangeable system of plugs like Apple does, though.
If you struggle with pulling that Anker charger out from the socket I would recommend that you do some strength training if everything checks out well after a health check.
I have the old #1 version of the Anker. Great to know and see that they have updated it with a second version! Would love to get that new edition one for travel in my tech kit.
So glad I got the Anker 735 charger. One of the reasons I got it though was that it was one of the few UK style charger which had foldable prongs which is common on US style plugs but not others. The performance has been very good as well.
really enjoying your content these days. I plan to go for a trip in august that will last a few weeks so I wanted to be prepared and a charger was one of the things in my list. Wanted something that can charge multiple things but isn't a massive brick XD. I do like the Spigen ArcStation which I may get if I need a second charger since the Pine64 Pinepower 65W is actually similar to your top contenders at around 25$
Have the old version of the Anker for a couple of years. Very happy with it. Combined with a 10 foot C to C cable , it is compact for travel with a good reach to an outlet when I need that. Much preferable to the large and awkward charger that came with my laptop.
Love your videos like these, would love them even more if you had excel files with all the results of the comparisons for those of us looking for a bit more info.
I agree with someone else’s comment… “better watch it, might need it later.” Often I buy stuff because it’s on sale, current one is getting old or need more functionality. It’s so frustrating when I get it and it doesn’t do what I need or it’s just a piece of crap. So I watch your videos, when the time comes I know if I should buy it and if it’s a good product. Thank you for your unbiased reviews!
Excellent! Great video. Anker wins again .... I am probably going to get their Qii2 Charger. Have you tried the 1-world travel chargers. They have all the same charging credentials, but they are also travel chargers so let you plug something into them. It would be good to see you review those also. There are several out there in addition to 1-world so there are enough for you to get your teeth into if you were so minded. What do you think? Also - do even recommend them as travel chargers or do you recommend these instead?
Agreed on the Anker GAN charger as the top performer for now. I have the EU option and like how the plug ends flip on the side to take up less space when travelling. I use it often to charge my laptop, phone and something else simultaneously. Though the performance depends on the charging cable as much as the charger itself.
I'd really like to see a video like this one on the 100W+ multiports for laptops and then some. Especially laptops like my XPS 13, its super picky on what USB-C chargers it'll ACTUALLY charge on :(
I have both versions of the Anker charger. I bought the old one via Costco for full price. Then a few months later, they had the new version plus an extra solo charger for less than I paid for the old one by itself. I bought it just because I couldn’t believe the price drop.
Any idea if the UGREEN Nexode 2 Port GaN Foldable 45W with two ports is any decent? Been using it for phones and MacBook airs no problems, just wondering how it would compare to the #2 Spigen since they’re like same specs. Thanks!
I’m using it for almost a year now (the EU version). I’m pretty pleased with the speed, it doesn’t get too hot, very robust feeling/materials/building quality. Of course the charging speeds are great as promised by 45W (or 25W & 20W when both type-c ports used).
right now the spigen 65w(PE2204UJ ) is $1 more than the 45w thank you for including the model item #. much easier to find them that way to make sure we get the EXACT one
I think the Anker is a little bit on the pricey side, any 65w charger that supports most of the fast charging protocols will just get the same job done. Thanks for all the testing, these are really good chargers. BTW, AOHI is pronounced as "au-hai" according to it's Chinese name "奧海" if someone is curious about it.
Thank you for your review! Used your link to purchase the #1 Anker charger. Previously I had (Anker Model A2039 47W USB C Charger (Nano 3), 2 Port Compact Foldable GaN Fast Charger) However it stopped working just short of 1 year (November 5th). My intention was to not buy Anker again and try a different brand. Amazon sure seems to be pushing Anker brand hard when you search for chargers. But we will give it another shot!
there is the old anker 735 GaN prime A2668 model (the one that was #1 in the best iphone 15 accessories video), and then there's the Nano II 735 model number A2667. Now I'm wonder where the former would rank in this video, since it seems the latter is the one that is used for reference here
7.40 it doesn't matter how big the heat sink is, the heat still has to be dissipated through the case. So, if it's running cooler it's because it working more efficiently and not making unnecessary heat. None-the-less a great review, thank you
Is there a list of accessories you have tested? It’s hard to determine if something not on your top 5 list means it’s not as good or you have not tested it.
How did the Champion goes? As Swede wanna buy, u know! I bougt a 2 meters apple usb-c and champion laddare 45w gan qc/pd, to my new Iphone and have that put for wireless charging now :) Best regards from Sweden!
Excellent video, looking for your next review in the 100-300w range. 67W is not a good choice, it's usually coming with multiple port, but it's inefficient when you charge macbook and ipad/iphone together. Something more powerful, 100w or 150w will be more useful.
I like the dual port charger from nomad, the one called slim specifically. The flat profile is the best for use in narrow places and for travel. Pair that with mophie/zag’s magsafe 3 in 1 travel wireless charger and you will only need to cables.
I bought your #1 Anker. Plugged my iPad in overnight with a 3’ Apple cord and did not charge. I also have a 10’ Anker USB to USB-C and it seams to charge very slow when it’s the only thing being charged. I think I may have a bad one, BUT does length of cords affect charging?
Have you tested any surge protector or strip plugs with USB C chargers? I have limited space around my outlet and typically have to use a strip plug to get my cords away from the outlet.
I look forward to your review of >100W multi-port chargers. I’m interested in your review of Anker 747 150W C$100 vs. Minix 140w C$90. When travelling, I need to simultaneously charge a MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, and Apple Watch. ( I charge my AirPods through the MacBook.)
I just read on another review that all of the new Anker Prime line devices are Internet connected and actually can download your data back to the company. Do you know anything about this and what is your feeling about it?
Have the old anker charger and got it to charge my drone stuff and works great. Now I use it for my 3 in 1 charger and the second port is a incase of emergency cable for charging my phone.
I dont need this right now. But the way you present something makes me think "better watch it, might need this later" 😂

However, this newer version will take up more space on most power strips and may not fit as easily into an office desk power supply (e.g., the type built into the top of a lot of corporate conference room desks).
I got the Anker Model number "A2667", which i think is the old version. And it came with a rubber suction cup socket holder. That was VERY nice.
Plz dont stop making content. I literally buy whatever u recommend. I buy my cases, chargers, and screen protectors solely based on ur top pick. Ur a legend man ❤
Your dog is such a good boy!
It’s impossible to test every brand. I’m curious how ugreen chargers stackup tho
I have one of their 65w chargers that looks like the more rectangular anker one in this video and it's been serving me great. I use it to charge my steam deck but sometimes I charge that and my phone at the same time and it works great

Great video!
When traveling a 6" pigtail is indispensable.
Anker makes a single USB-C 30w that only takes up one outlet slot.
The Voltme 65W is not safety listed. A CE mark is self-declared and thus worthless. Chargers have been known to electrocute people by allowing high voltage to pass through to the low voltage side.
Most chargers under 100W don't have power factor correction and are inefficient. For low power chargers it's not a big deal but at 65W its wasteful.
Some chargers do not meet USB PD voltage specifications, excessively sag under load, or have significant ripple.
Some chargers will overheat and throttle.
Is all of this being tested?
Would love a video like this for charging hubs in the 100-140w range, particularly useful to travel with a single chager and a laptop
You never let the dog get a word in
Bought the Anker 735 during Prime Day after watching your review. Definitely feels solid and performing well. Thanks!
This channel is a breathe of fresh air. Thank you, you gave me precisely the information I needed.
0:58 - For the products with indicator lights, I would’ve loved to have seen tests on how those indicator lights affect the ambient light level in a fully dark room?
My thinking here is that sometimes product LEDs might look okay during the daytime-but come nighttime when you’re trying to sleep, they end up illuminating half the room.
Very good point. Manufacturers for some reason feel all their stuff need to have bright shining LEDs all the time.
great overview and quick run through. this has earned you a subscription!
after watching youtube for a decade man you're the best. you beat all ends!
Thanks for this review. Your assistant is awesome!
I love your “best” videos, because it’s always stuff that as a techie I’m sure n the lookout for. Unfortunately these videos always come out about a month or two after I’ve made my purchases 😂
You are the UA-cam tester I trust the most. Could you please test and show the best 3in1 charging stands with Qi2/magsafe? THANKS!
I’m using the Anker 313 charger 45W and so far I love it. It’s small, doesn’t get hot and I think it’s perfect balance between too much wattage and too little.
I was a day late to this review(s), but I really needed this information for future. Great job! I will use you in the future!
Thanks a lot.
Especially when it comes to compact multichargers, some of us are traveling worldwide (you know, Digital Nomads), so a test of fitting compact socket adapters for worldwide travel for your multicharger would be great.

i’ve had one anker charger for my needs for 5 years now and still going strong, the quality of the brand is very good
If you struggle with pulling that Anker charger out from the socket I would recommend that you do some strength training if everything checks out well after a health check.
Best tech reviewer out there! Always look at your reviews before anyone else, great videos!
Great video as always
Please do one on chargers with more power and ports!
Absolute top quality and straight to the point. Love love love it. Using your affiliate link. Thanks.
Bro you are looking YAKKED thanks for the inspo 🤘
Love your videos. Would love to see one on gan travel adapters
Great video. Helped me buy a Christmas present for a family member and choose something better than the no-name charger they had originally selected
aohi is the best charger i’ve used ever! the 67W the single type c one truly shows off and barley gets hot.
I have the old #1 version of the Anker. Great to know and see that they have updated it with a second version! Would love to get that new edition one for travel in my tech kit.
Would love to see the overall rankings of all the chargers you reviewed. Would like to see where the one I have stacks up.
For a minute I thought your dog was real. But then I realized he's a paid actor
When are the Qi2 multi charger reviews coming up?
So glad I got the Anker 735 charger. One of the reasons I got it though was that it was one of the few UK style charger which had foldable prongs which is common on US style plugs but not others. The performance has been very good as well.
Today I ordered my Anker 735 charger based on your review. Thanks bro for helping me out 😁

Love your vids. I’m getting a new iPhone 16 pro max. Is the Anker still your number one choice?
I really appreciate when it’s easy to pull out.
It took me way too long to notice the dog but once I did I couldn't look away. Who wants belly rubs?
Love the pup.
I'm so fascinated by how well behaved your dog is :D
Like for the cute dog, and thanks for the speedy on-spot reviews.
Have the old version of the Anker for a couple of years. Very happy with it. Combined with a 10 foot C to C cable , it is compact for travel with a good reach to an outlet when I need that. Much preferable to the large and awkward charger that came with my laptop.

I appreciate the video. I can finally make an informed decision on which charger to get out of hundreds offered on Amazon.
Thanks for the reviews, I'm hoping that the Anker is available in the UK. Great dog too!!
It'd be great to have one these videos for multi port car charger
Finally a reviewerrrrrrrrrrr... thanks for your content!!!!

what was the fastest solo charge?
Curious where the ugreen ended up since I’ve heard good things about them.
I'd really like to see a video like this one on the 100W+ multiports for laptops and then some. Especially laptops like my XPS 13, its super picky on what USB-C chargers it'll ACTUALLY charge on :(
Great video! Does the no 1 charger charger support PPS?
I have both versions of the Anker charger. I bought the old one via Costco for full price. Then a few months later, they had the new version plus an extra solo charger for less than I paid for the old one by itself. I bought it just because I couldn’t believe the price drop.
only making 25 an hour right now - voltme it is! thanks! - love the number one and number two on the list as well!

Can you do another video on Magsafe battery packs since new ones came out?
thank you for doing this!
Thank you very much just a video I wanted to see 👍👍👍✅✅
I think the Anker is a little bit on the pricey side, any 65w charger that supports most of the fast charging protocols will just get the same job done.

Appreciate the review
Thank you for this!
I love your Dog he was so good!!🤣🤣
And does cable matter? Love your reviews by the way!!
What do you think of the UGREEN Nexode Pro 65W
how about Ugreen products ? haven't u tested any? or they are too bad to make it to the top 5 ??
Thank you for your review! Used your link to purchase the #1 Anker charger. Previously I had (Anker Model A2039 47W USB C Charger (Nano 3), 2 Port Compact Foldable GaN Fast Charger) However it stopped working just short of 1 year (November 5th).

It would be nice to have more info on charging standards like PD vs IQ+. I have a camera battery charger that doesn’t function on IQ+ for some reason.
there is the old anker 735 GaN prime A2668 model (the one that was #1 in the best iphone 15 accessories video), and then there's the Nano II 735 model number A2667. Now I'm wonder where the former would rank in this video, since it seems the latter is the one that is used for reference here
Hello, can you redo top cases for iPhone 15 as of right now? Many new cases came out and many inflated in prices.
What about PPS support and other QC protocols support?
7.40 it doesn't matter how big the heat sink is, the heat still has to be dissipated through the case. So, if it's running cooler it's because it working more efficiently and not making unnecessary heat. None-the-less a great review, thank you

Luv ur videos !
Could you do a comparison for higher wattage adapters 150-200w with 4-6 ports?
Would you recommend the minix neo p3? It’s a4 port 100w charger that seems to do it all compared to these 🤔
I bought your #1 Anker. Plugged my iPad in overnight with a 3’ Apple cord and did not charge. I also have a 10’ Anker USB to USB-C and it seams to charge very slow when it’s the only thing being charged. I think I may have a bad one, BUT does length of cords affect charging?

Thnx chargers king ❤
I look forward to your review of >100W multi-port chargers. I’m interested in your review of Anker 747 150W C$100 vs. Minix 140w C$90.
When travelling, I need to simultaneously charge a MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, and Apple Watch. ( I charge my AirPods through the MacBook.)
Have u done one that can charge a laptop?
I just read on another review that all of the new Anker Prime line devices are Internet connected and actually can download your data back to the company. Do you know anything about this and what is your feeling about it?
Sounds fake
That dog is all business!
Hi do you know if the Anker 735 GaN Prime 67W have a led indicator ?
Have the old anker charger and got it to charge my drone stuff and works great. Now I use it for my 3 in 1 charger and the second port is a incase of emergency cable for charging my phone.
Hi, what is the UK equivalent of the "Anker 735 GaN Prime 67W Charger (A2669) "
