Anker or Aukey?

#8

As we are the “ANKER-community” we prefer ANKER.:wink: But I think AUKEY produces valuable items as well. It depends on your needs.

Primarily buy Anker products but am willing to jump to other brands (and have) for products which other brands have filled the void left by Anker :grin:

If I had a chose between the two, I’d go with Anker. Unless of course, Aukey makes something that Anker doesn’t and I need. I love and trust the Anker brand. As a matter of fact, I had an Aukey desktop charger awhile back that I replaced with an Anker one. Personally, I like the look of the Anker products over the Aukey. IMO, Anker products look premium compared to “similar” brands.

I used both in the past, but the quality of the Anker products are too high compared to Aukey products.

Sometimes I’ve choose Aukey for a cheaper price but in 70% of the times I had a product not with defects but simply didn’t work well, like the wireless charger, I have both Anker’s and Aukey’s, on my bedside I use the Anker on my desk the Aukey because it’s to noisy I can’t sleep with it charging my phone!

Simply if you want the best go with Anker, Aukey is good but not for the expert user who notice the little things.

I have an aukey cable, the cat lives the taste of it.

It’s my 2m lead, so I can charge n use while sat in my chair.

However, it’s full of teeth marks from my cat, Molly. lol

I should replace, but the bch Theresa May doesn’t like me paying bills n getting shopping, let alone replace expensive leads.

From what I’ve read n seen,.I’d say hand on heart anker is better, and eventually I’d like a chance to prove it.

Maker all the way. I haven’t heard bad things about them. I use to have one or 2 of their products but lost or broke them. I can’t even remember what they were.

Both brands are really good but ANKER are better because of amazing customer service

There’s a type of charger that Aukey make which Anker didn’t and so bought Aukey for $5.

There is a type of solar charger Choetech make which Anker doesn’t. I have repeatedly asked Anker for a product change, they not done, so have a Choetech solar charger.

For everything else it is Anker because I get excellent warranty and the products fail inrequently.

I buy for about 11 people at the moment and it’s nearly all Anker to the horizon. I will get a warranty issue every few months but it’s a light effort to solve across the dozens of products.

My payback to Anker is trying to help in this community as good people should be supported.

Typed in an airport day 3 of 14 days moving, powered by Anker (apart from the Aukey charger which fits in the tiny sockets the Anker doesn’t fit).

Well spotted. Corrected.

I did wonder about that - though I guess if they failed frequently, that warranty would be even more useful :laughing:

I have 6 Anker products and 0 Aukey

I have to admit, I have switched mostly toAukey.

I had some bad experiences (or bad luck) with Anker USB cables. They all broke down on me, including the Powerline+ braided one. They always break near the plug. Aukey ones I measured to charge less (around 1.5A) but they seem more durable.

Powerbbank, I went also with aukey, because I don’t need fast charging so i went with the cheapest one. 20$ for 20 000 mah. In the future, I will buy one with USB-PD support so we will see who comes with a cheaper product :slight_smile:

Charger blocks… I have a OP3, which only supports fast charging with proprietary charger :confused:
So again, I went with the cheaper basic charger, which was aukey.

But audio i always go with anker. Soundbuds are great, and Soundcore and Soundcore mini are both really amazing.
Though, Aukey does have on ear BT headset for which Anker does not have alternative. Those look tempting for workplace headset. 18h battery life, 50$, great reviews.

Interesting, what was your warranty experience? It was an unusually good warranty experience which switched my preference to Anker. I accept products fail, which can be bad design or a bad batch, but hate spending a lot of time seeking solution.

That’s what got me hooked on Anker - I had several of their products, and they were all great, but I was buying things from Ravpower and Aukey as well. A few months ago, however, I bought a phone case for my S8 from Anker, and wasn’t happy with how quickly the clear plastic scratched. I left a 2-star review on Amazon, since the case offered decent protection but was not as compact/durable as other cases I’ve had, and within a week, Anker contacted me to offer me a full refund with no questions asked. I didn’t even have to give the case back! They were phenomenally responsive, getting back to me within a few hours every time I contacted them, and their customer service was far better than I had experienced anywhere else in the tech world. I haven’t had any other issues with their products, and while I might be paying slightly more with Anker than I would with Aukey or Ravpower, I’m happy to do so because of the peace of mind that Anker’s warranty and customer service provide.

I had a power bank aukey of 20100 mAh (model PBN 57) was very big and heavy. I did not like it very much because I found it uncomfortable to take it with me. Then I had the power bank of anker (the powercore 20100 mAh) and I will buy it. much smaller, and a little lighter, with even better appearance. finally I opted for anker
