4 to 6 port USB wall chargers, good/bad?

[mikeford]

I was about to bite on a deal of the day at Amazon, 4 port 40w for about $17 shipped, but got lost in the tons of variations and prices on these devices.

One of the budget flashlight guys has a great site with testing and tear downs on dozens of different models, but Amazon doesn't have any meaningful model info on a lot of products that look the same in a bunch of brands.

Testing site.

I'm leaning towards Anker on the high end or Orico on the cheaper end, $10 or so vs $25.

Any suggestions? Thanks

I use anker and they've been pretty rock solid.
I normally have 2 iphones ipad air 2 charging and randomly a micro usb (bt headset) charging.

Anker all the way.
i got cheap Aukey and Mpow before and never going back to them again. the mpow was sparking and making a clicking sound one day. while a aukey battery pack heated up and melted.

Got an Anker and never looked back. AND their customer service is second to none.

I'll throw my vote in for the Anker units as well. I am using one of those to charge my various devices and it works great.

Anker is the charger that touches my devices.
