    TL:DR - Anker is kind of a fantastic brand. You get exactly what's promised and the quality of their products is super.Reading the reviews I find that a lot of people complain about slow charge time or about it not appearantly the capacity it states. I haven't had this issues with my battery.I took some time to see how many times I could charge my phone and it fell just about on the mark. It wasn't done with proper instruments. I simply let my phone with a 5,000 mAh battery get close to 2% and the I would charge it all the way up. I got about 4 full charges until the battery stopped charging my phone. Ended at 93% which to me already is on the money but even still, there was a night I just left my phone charging as I slept so it definitely got more than it's fill.There's also complaints about charging the battery itself and again, I didn't find this problem with mine. I timed how long it took to fully charge and it was actually a bit shorter than the stated time. Just about 5:30 hours. I didn't even need an anker branded charger. I used this 18W charger I used already to charge my phone. People might be forgetting just how massive 20,000 mAh is.Charging my phone was also just as expected. It charged it fully just as if it was plugged to the 18W charger which is to be expected but you know... I kind of still didn't cause it's a portable battery.Overall, Anker is kind of my go to for when it comes to electrical devices. I don't see them cutting corners to get there products out and for that I trust their brand. I feel like my devices won't suddenly burn out cause of bad components or that the hubs won't provided the performance promised. Idk, you should definitely give then a try
