Customer Review
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2022
I read the reviews on this, and yes, it does have some minor flaws, but none of these deterred me from buying. It has two AC outlets but only one can be a three-prong grounded cord. I have an adapter with three outlet plugs: problem solved. The USB-C connector is PD3 compliant, so my phone charges rapidly. The description of the Power Saving mode is not complete. Here is the response from Customer Service:
"For your information first: The power saving mode is mainly for the AC outlets and the car socket. It will not control the USB ports.
The AC outlets on the 521 Powerhouse will turn off automatically in power-saving mode when the output from the AC port is continuously less than 10W within an hour. So the threshold for "lower power" is less than 10W."
I like the display which shows power input or output in watts, the percentage of battery remaining, and the time to charge/discharge.
I bought this unit based on Anker's reputation and my satisfaction with many of its other products. My primary use will be to power my fiber gateway during power outages (a recent three-day outage prompted my purchase), but I'm sure it will be used often for other portable power needs.
