Great price and a great product. I just don't see the point in it. Why would you want to charge 10 things in the same place at the same time??

I've got 2 kids.... school ipads, tablets and phones account for 6 ports at night .... makes sure they are on charge and not being played with in the bedrooms. Then there is an array of speakers, cameras, spare batteries, battery packs, go pro, torch, e cigarette etc etc .....

You must have 10 plugs to spare...

I've got the 5 port one and back when I bought it I thought I would never use up all the ports. I guess some people may need that many ports, e.g. Phone, smartwatch, Bluetooth earphones, portable charger, tablets, action cams/go pro and so on.
Also, these are great for holidays because you don't need all the separate wall plugs with the added benefit of the long cable

I think the philips one at Argos posted on here a few days ago is better. It even comes with 2 good quality cables (lightening and micro usb). It gives 8A across 5 usbs (or 1.6A per usb if 5 devices are being charged at the same time).
Don't know if things have changed but had two anker multi USB chargers, both units had several of the ports fail, still use power block though

I had this on a couple my 5 port charges.
One was within the year and one just outside.
I managed to get them both replaced for newer models.
I found out after that the problem was resolved on at least one of them if I left it unplugged for a while the failed ports reset themselves.

Contact Anker customer service they will replace them, they have a pretty much no quibble guarantee on all their kit. I had a Anker Lightning cable fail after 12 months and they still replaced it.

I've not long ago had 1 of the ports of my 5 port charger fail so looked how long I had had it as it didn't feel like that long but it was 19 months and they guarantee for 18!
I typically use 3 of the ports so I just moved 1 of my cables to 1 of the others.
Not ideal 1 has failed but not a big issue and no doubt once the kids get older and have more devices I will end up replacing it anyway.

I find the device below very useful for checking failed USB ports on devices like these; it even tells you the max current supplied when a device is plugged in to the other end; also very useful to confirm dud USB cables.
Can pick one up for about 3 quid delivered from China if you have the patience, a tad more from Amazon or the Bay for UK stocks:

Dont see the point of a 10 port charger. What is the likelyhood of charging 10 devices at the same time.
