The Complete Anker Buying Guide: Best Products by Category

Anker started as a battery company in 2011 and has quietly become one of the most trusted names in consumer electronics. Their product lineup now spans charging accessories, Bluetooth speakers (Soundcore), projectors (Nebula), security cameras (eufy), and smart home devices — hundreds of products across dozens of categories. The sheer breadth makes it difficult to know which Anker products are genuinely the best and which are filler.

We have tested over 60 Anker products across all their sub-brands. Here is the definitive guide to the best Anker product in every major category.

Charging: Where Anker Still Dominates

Anker's core business remains portable power, and they remain the brand to beat.

Best wall charger: The Anker 735 GaNPrime 65W is the gold standard for multi-device charging. Two USB-C and one USB-A port, 65W total output, GaN technology for compact size, and foldable prongs. It replaces your laptop charger, phone charger, and earbuds charger with a single brick.

Best portable charger: The Anker 737 Power Bank (24,000mAh) charges a phone five times or a laptop once, outputs 140W over USB-C, and features a smart digital display. For travelers, it is the best power bank available at any price.

Best car charger: The Anker 535 Car Charger (67W) delivers 67W across two USB-C ports — enough to fast-charge two phones simultaneously or charge a laptop in the car. The metal body and flush-mount design are clean.

Best wireless charger: The Anker 313 Wireless Charger at $12 is the best cheap wireless charger. It does one thing — charges your phone wirelessly at up to 10W — and does it reliably. No frills, no RGB, just consistent charging.

Audio (Soundcore): Budget Kings

Soundcore is Anker's audio sub-brand and it has carved out a dominant position in budget audio.

Best earbuds: The Soundcore Liberty 4 NC deliver ANC, multipoint Bluetooth, LDAC codec support, and 10-hour battery for $80. They compete with earbuds costing twice as much and represent the best value in the wireless earbud market.

Best budget earbuds: The Soundcore Life P2 Mini at $22 are the entry point. No ANC, but solid sound, good battery, and USB-C charging. Hard to beat for the price.

Best over-ear headphones: The Soundcore Space Q45 at $99 provide ANC that competes with Bose and Sony at a fraction of the price. Fifty-hour battery life is class-leading.

Best Bluetooth speaker: The Soundcore Motion 300 is a portable speaker with spatial audio, IPX7 waterproofing, and punchy sound that belies its compact size. For a step up, the Soundcore Motion+ remains excellent.

Security (eufy): Privacy-Focused

eufy is Anker's smart home and security brand, and their key differentiator is local storage — no mandatory cloud subscriptions.

Best outdoor camera: The eufy SoloCam S340 is a dual-camera system (wide + telephoto) with solar power and local storage. No monthly fees, no cloud dependency.

Best video doorbell: The eufy Video Doorbell E340 captures front door activity in 2K resolution with local storage on a HomeBase. Battery-powered with solar charging option.

Best robot vacuum: eufy's robot vacuum lineup competes on price but lags behind Roborock and iRobot in navigation intelligence. For budget buyers who want a simple robot vacuum without a subscription, eufy delivers. For advanced navigation and mopping, look elsewhere.

Projectors (Nebula): Portable Entertainment

Nebula is Anker's projector brand, focusing on portable and ultra-portable models.

Best portable projector: The Anker Nebula Capsule 3 is a soda-can-sized projector with Google TV built in, auto-focus, auto-keystone correction, and surprisingly good built-in speakers. It projects up to 120 inches and the 200 ANSI lumens are adequate for a dark room.

For a brighter image in rooms with some ambient light, the Nebula Cosmos (900 lumens) is the step-up.

USB Hubs and Cables: The Boring But Essential Category

Best USB-C hub: The Anker 341 USB-C Hub (7-in-1) adds HDMI, 3 USB-A, SD, microSD, and USB-C passthrough for $35. It covers everything most laptop users need.

Best USB-C cable: The Anker 543 USB-C cable supports 100W PD and 480Mbps data in a braided, durable package. Available in 3ft and 6ft lengths.

Products to Skip

Not every Anker product is a winner. These are the categories where Anker trails competitors:

Robot vacuums (eufy): Adequate but outclassed by Roborock at similar prices. Navigation is less intelligent and mopping performance lags.

Smart home (eufy): The smart lock and sensor ecosystem is less polished than Ring or SimpliSafe. Reliability reports are mixed.

Premium headphones: Soundcore's sub-$100 headphones are excellent values, but their $150-plus models do not compete as effectively against Sony and Bose at that price tier.

Final Thoughts

Anker's sweet spot is the $15-100 price range where they consistently deliver products that punch above their weight class. Their charging accessories are genuinely best-in-class, their Soundcore audio products are the best values in budget audio, and their Nebula projectors offer unique portable entertainment. Where they struggle is in the premium tier ($150-plus) and in smart home security, where dedicated competitors have deeper expertise. Buy Anker for charging, audio, and portability — look elsewhere for home security and premium audio.
