@sdb Yep. These are wimpy compared to the Letscom 65W type C chargers that were sold here a while back. Despite being a totally unknown brand they’ve been solid so far.
@sdb I have one of these for travel, especially international travel where one plug adapter gets you a bunch of outlets and I like it EXCEPT the 30w PD. It will charge my 15" MBP overnight but can’t keep up when I’m using it
Aw man, I built something similar, with a 2-USB, 2-AC outlet. Ten bucks for the outlet, a couple dollars for the box, more for the IEC 60320-C14 inlet and power cable.
I have some usb powered lights and fans for which I think the power button for the USB ports will be useful. And the AC outlets are well spaced for other wall warts. Giving these a go!

@firelord There are few surprises more unwelcome than the one that happens when you reach to the nightstand to put down the tweezers without looking, and the ends of them go into the power strip.
It says the USB-C port has “power delivery”. But don’t all the outlets on this thing have “power delivery”? That’s literally the entire job of a power strip.
@xobzoo Clicked the buy button as it sold out, apparently. When I tried to place my order it said they were sold out. Is it just VMP or do members have a second shot at 4?

@erthian It worked! Your order number is: elastic-ashamedly-plane

Anker is legit. This is a step above the typical Meh wares.
Also, I just got back from an 11-day trip where these would have been handy. So what the heck, I’m in for a pair for my next trip.
/giphy boastful-natural-mouth
@The_Tim agreed. Anker is a rare gem in Amazon marketplace. The company stands behind their products and the quality is high.
If you are interested, it has a 5 foot cord.
@drmarble Very apropos observation given the giphy above.
@drmarble I came here looking for just that info! TY.
@drmarble I guess that combines well with the 6 foot usb-c cables on side deal?
@drmarble Thanks! I was surprised it wasn’t in the product details!
@drmarble I am interested. Thanks.
@drmarble THANK YOU, how the $%*#$ did they leave this out of the specs???
2 for $20, best offer.
@thechinglish I agree. Anybody got a coupon?
@thechinglish So you’re passing.
@thechinglish @Trinityscrew
The temptation to make inappropriate jokes about “passing” is strong, but I will pass on that.
@Trinityscrew for a functional human being?
Yes I’ve gotten quite good at it except when captcha outs me

USB-C PD with 30 watts? meh
I guess we know how these ended up here.

@sdb Yeah, it will be good enough to charge my iPad Pro but not my laptop.

Meh offering useful stuff again… buncha sellouts.

@awk Holy shit this GIF
@awk @brantsdad looks similar to a scene from Fantasia.
These would quickly get lost in the huge crate of power strips and chargers I already have.
You’re no match for me. Next!
I’ve been looking for two somethings just like these to put in either end of my storage headboard to provide power. These look good!

These are the strangest drink coasters I have ever seen.
These Ankers wouldn’t keep you very still in a rough sea. Too light and the cord needs to be a few hundred feet longer.
@OnionSoup Ankers, away!
@OnionSoup Shocking!

For $17 apiece, this is a bargain!

@Doodpants USB Power Delivery is a standard for USB-C ports to negotiate voltages higher than the standard 5V for quicker charging.
@Doodpants @kyouteki It’s like that time that IBM tried to trademark the phrase “Crash Protection” for one of the minor features in OS2.

Thanks for the order, not happy with the gif. Reminds me of some fake beef jerky that hurt me real bad. I never eat that kind again.

Pairs well with today’s SideDeal, unless you need to charge a laptop.
Grr… had just talked myself into getting them, then discovered they sold out 10 minutes earlier.
That’ll learn me to be a responsible buyer. Now I’ll have to just click “buy” on everything as soon as I see it.
@xobzoo Clicked the buy button as it sold out, apparently. When I tried to place my order it said they were sold out. Is it just VMP or do members have a second shot at 4?

Only the VMPs.

@brasscupcakes Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.
Worth a try
Had these been the nearest-similar Aduro item, a sellout would not have happened. Anker’s old stuff is better than their current kit.
I can’t believe I forgot to check the Meh until now, I NEED these, and sold out!!!
@jmrobinett Yeah, they’re $29 EACH over on SideDeal, which is kinda Nope.
I can’t wait to see these ship! I already received the USB-C cords that they had on SideDeal.
