The scope of supply
In the really very tight packaging (here a few millimeters would have done more good in Anchor typical sheathing) puts the power supply itself, and an unusually long power cord. Plus, there's a manual and the typical well for anchor Beilageblatt: Anchor delighted to hear by the end user and charges a one to write a review. Unlike other Marketplace merchants that prompt one hand, but please the transaction with 5 stars on Amazon to evaluate and to forgive in no case less star so as not to harm the company, does that sound friendly Wed love to hear from you much welcoming and motivated effectively, the companies admit feedback about the product. Plus, there's a small information booklet for return and refund.
The power cord of the anchor E160 (so the product name) can be a Velcro band held and transported compactly. Since the cable is not fixed to the charger, this may well be lost times. The power supply is provided, however, with me for stationary operation, which is why I do not further disturb this circumstance.
A look at the manual reveals that one has not only translated the English text via Google Translator into German but someone actually in charge of the work. Normally I would not mention, but lately you read more frequently horrible translations that may have come with nothing more than a Bing translation materialize. When E160 apparently someone has sat down and at least made for rough planning in the German translation. Nevertheless the manual sometimes changes from upper case to lowercase honorific.
The first impression
Connected to the E160 is in a few moments: simply connect the power cable to the power supply and can have up to 5 devices can be connected.
As mentioned above, the 2-pin power cord is too short straight: 150 centimeters wide can I remove the E160 from the electrical outlet. By comparison, most gadgets supplied USB cable is only 90 centimeters long. Even the power cord from my notebook has got shorter. Are one the 150 centimeters, however still too short, you can climb a longer cable without any problem on eBay.
The Design
The anchor 40-watt power supply is a real beauty: The white E160 makes good everywhere: whether on my desk or next to the bed. Especially Apple users whose chargers are usually kept white will enjoy the matching color. Is a pity that the surface is easy scratch-prone: My copy had to have a small scratch on the bottom without ever having to leave the table after a few days. Here anchors could work on the surface and make them more resistant to annoying scratches.
The Function
The anchor E160 has 5 USB ports, with up to 8A load simultaneously. If a smartphone or gadget can not take as much power at once, the power supply of the power consumption of the charging device adapts to.
The separate power cables you can use the anchor PSU abroad: after all, power cable 2 Euro items that you buy to think ahead before traveling to or necessary in the destination country can again quickly after shopping. The armature power supply is thus suitable as prima travel charger.
My Nexus 5 as well as Motorola gloading quickly on the E160: Unlike cheap Euro 5 power supplies can be felt here no loss. On Amazon you can read in the previous product recessions that the 40 watt power supply should tend to whistle. This I can not confirm. Most customers have stood by their assessment in contact with anchors and a replacement power supply received, that no more whistling. Here you have the manufacturer have reacted quickly and launched a new batch. In my model is the number 71AN7105.
The Manufacturer
The armature power supply is not my first device of anchor. After I in the summer of last year, the anchor Astro E3 ordered on Amazon I've always looked at the company products more often. No matter whether it is a question of the Bluetooth speakers MP230 or the smaller version of Astro (Anker Astro Mini 3000) so far I have not had the need to send the stuff back. Even my Nexus 5 is now thanks to a matte anchor Protector (Three Pack for 5 Euro!) Reflection poorer. Furthermore, I have already cast my eyes on the Qi wireless charging station for the Nexus 5. As you can read from my list out, the manufacturer sells a wide range of accessory products.
The close contact of anchor to its customers should be example for many other MarketPlace dealer on Amazon, which are welcome to take a leaf from the customer itself. Even the Wed like to hear from you list is not just decoration: Unlike other manufacturers that have been written by me upon such request, armature responds rapidly and takes the criticism points to note.
The Conclusion
The anchor 40-watt power supply is a good supplement for the household gadget. The chic design without disturbing at night LEDs can convince me almost continuously. For future revisions I would however like to see a less scratch-prone materials for the power supply. Straight but not only Apple users will appreciate the chic White / off the device. The long power cable makes the user to a certain extent independent of the position of the socket and can be replaced to any size against country-specific cables. With 9.1 x 5.8 x 2.5cm, the power supply is approximately as compact as a pack of cigarettes and place on well with each table or next to each bed space. From me there is a strong buy recommendation for the 20 Euro power supply of anchor.
