Who doesn’t have a few heaters lying around the house somewhere? Certain house breakers trip occasionally - microwave, toaster, fan, espresso machine, electric kettle, trouble when people turn on too many at once in the kitchen. I tell them not to, but what can you do.

These are all the testers that I can now see after claiming my testing unit. Congratulations again!
Congrats to those chosen personally didn’t try for this one since I didn’t think I had a good testing plan for one of these
10 I recognise, 20 I don’t. That’s pretty wise selection considering the odds.
So its " … and plugged in the freezer, and the toaster, microwave, but when I turned on the hair dryer then the breaker flipped" ?

There are some family members to be found there.
That’s good.
Hope the “others” will do a “test” also.

Nice to see some known community members (and prior product testers) make the cut

The whole neighbourhood was “getting dark,” when I plugged in all devices I got.
Some kind of bad, smoky smell now in the apartment!
Do I need an application to get that fixed?
The unique value of this product is the circuit breaker, if you don’t test that then its not a true test.
The challenge is causing a power surge, it seems to be stating it protects you from surges getting to it, which is quite a challenge to test as you’d have to cause a surge to it. Causing a surge to it would be quite a risk unless you know electricity well.
To test it protecting from your attached devices should be easier test.

@AnkerOfficial thanks
This will replace 3 power strips I currently use for my media setup. Hopefully all will be good.
Checking it against power surges is basically a test to destruction. You replace items like this once they have saved you from one big surge, and usually they have a limited protection life just due to handling ‘normal’ power fluctuations.
I don’t plan to go to all that effort to destroy it, and didn’t even talk about that in my test plan. All about replacing existing strips and consolidating.

That’s cool.
So the intention of Anker is to not test their products but just get maximum positive attention. A test to failure to end up with a broken unit which protects your devices would not be popular.
That’s essentially something I put on the testing plan. I did say I have APC powerstrip with power surge protection as well which I can test though probably not to it’s limit unless some major thunderstorm starts off (which isn’t rare during hurricane season in Southeast)

No thunderstorm or hurricane only for testing, please!
