Model overview based on user reviews
The ANKER 521 PowerHouse is a reliable portable power station, praised for its quiet operation and LiFePo4 battery, making it a dependable choice during power outages. It features a high-speed USB-C port for charging and an informative display. Users appreciate its ability to power multiple devices simultaneously, such as routers, phones, and laptops, although some find the charging power via USB-C limited to 65W. The station is compact and relatively quiet, but some users note issues with non-standard charging cables and a lack of smartphone connectivity. While it offers good value, some users have experienced factory defects, such as the AC outlet turning off automatically. Overall, it's a solid choice for those seeking a reliable power solution from a well-known manufacturer, despite some minor drawbacks.
Pros
Cons
2 0 2 2 |
Using in the format MacBook + monitor + light. Lasts for 4-6 hours. Quiet operation Silent charging Informative display Ability to additionally charge via type-c Economical inverter LiFePO4 battery Rarely can the inverter itself be switched on, as well as power-safe switching. |
The charging station is of very high quality, which completely justified its purchase during last year's outages. It was enough to power a router + optics, charge 2 phones, and 2 laptops. And it recharged back in 2 hours while there was power. Yes, this is not the perfect station in terms of price/capabilities, but if you need a reliable station from a well-known manufacturer, definitely consider this model. - quiet - LiFePo4 battery - high-speed USB-C that can also be used to charge the station - dimensions - via USB-C for charging "only" 65W - only 1 USB-C output  Alexander Andreyanov: use ANKER 521 PowerHouse more than year |
Ordered from ITBOx - no complaints about the store, everything arrived on time and at a good price! As for Anker - many complaints, the station arrives at 0% charge - it's unclear whether it works or not! Didn't like the non-standard charging port! Refused the parcel and ordered Ecobow which arrived 25% charged with a standard charging cable. price B 0 discharged, non-standard charging cable |
