Build Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "The connection where the USB-C port attaches to the wire is nice and sturdy."

• "Anker's Type C to Type C cable delivers seamless connectivity with fast charging capabilities."

Cons:

• "I've bought 2 of these cables and had each of them die within a couple months."
• "This wire did its job for a year and a half. Then it suddenly stopped working."
• "Thick and premium cable... Didn't last as long as I hoped, about a month of daily use."
• "But it gave out 3 months in and I'm very disappointed."
• "The metal piece came off of one of the USB connectors."
• "Unfortunately at about 7 months of owning this cord it now requires some 'tuning' to get it to charge my phone, and the cord near the charging port has started to show signs warping."

• "I won't be buying Anker after this, I'll go back to buying factory accessories."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "The cables and power banks I've bought from Anker have so far lasted longer than every other brand I've tried."
• "I loved it! The durability is incredible. I have used it since 2021 and it’s still working."
• "I'm happy I decided to order this instead of any of the cheaper cables which would have worn out quickly."
• "Anker is a company that I’ve bought into for the past three years and this is now my ninth product I’ve bought from them and they’ve done nothing but deliver homerun after homerun."
• "Now my ENTIRE family uses nothing but Anker chargers in every part of the house AND cars, as well as ALL of their cables, and I've updated their 6' & 10' cables, as well as my own, with the newest Powerline III cables, because they have a LIFETIME GUARANTEE/WARRANTY."
• "Anker products are made very well, durable, and compatible with all my devices."
• "Their cables have an 18 month warranty where they replace for free upon proof of purchase."

Cons:

• "They are too expensive to keep buying."
• "For the price, seeing as this is USB2 only, I would have hoped for a little more durability from Anker."
• "For around $20, steer clear. I love Anker products, but for the price, you could get 2 cables that would more than likely last longer."
• "I wouldn't say it's durable either as the wire nearest the computer bends out of shape quite easily."
• "The lack of clear specs and the cable's performance not matching the seller claims make me question everything about it."
• "Don't waste your money since this cable charger broke within 6 months and is only warrantied for 60 days."
• "Rs 500 for this cable isn't a less amount!"
