Two ports, one of them USB-C and the other USB-A, is the detail that makes the Anker block more useful than a plain 20W charger. The two-pack gives you a spare for a bag or a second room, and the 5 ft cables are short enough to coil without a tangle. It is a compact travel charger first, not a desktop hub.
We like it most as the charger that stays in a bag: the block is small, the cables are manageable, and the USB-A port covers an older cable or a set of earbuds. At 20W it charges a phone or a small tablet at the pace those devices accept, but it is not a laptop charger. The second port is the reason to choose it over a single-port block, as long as you understand that the extra port is USB-A, not another USB-C.
That distinction matters for a two-phone household. If both devices need USB-C, two single-port blocks are more predictable than one dual-port brick. The Anker is better for a phone plus an older accessory, or for one USB-C device and one USB-A device overnight. We do not count on both ports delivering a full charge at once, and the 5 ft cable is the shortest here, which is fine at a desk and less so from a far outlet.
What we appreciate is the lack of fuss: no app, no display, no proprietary cable. The 18-month warranty is shorter than the two-year coverage on some budget sets, but the compact shape and the dual-port flexibility are what earn it a place in our bag.
Pros
- Compact two-pack for travel
- USB-C and USB-A in one block
- 20W charging for phones and tablets
- 18-month warranty from Anker
Cons
- Only one USB-C port per block
- 5 ft cables are short for bedside use
A compact dual-port 20W block and two cables make this the best all-around pick for phones, travel, and mixed USB-C/USB-A gear.
