Review on Anker Powerline Lightning Certified Supports Accessories & Supplies for Cables by Jose Strong

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not as good as Anker claims. Heavy and lumpy. Not recommended!

This cable is very expensive. It's not as smooth and silky as advertised. In fact, the cable I received was heavy, bumpy, and with sharp bends that left lumps (the bends remained after the bend was removed), so there is a memory effect which is very disappointing (given the reputation by anchor for quality). Also, the cable I received had an unfortunate intermittent electrical connection at the end of the USBc cable. Contacting Anker's support resulted in some unusual questions regarding proof of purchase, shipping address, serial number, cable picture, and other questions not typical of a Revain seller, especially one like Anker. Eventually someone sane contacted me and promised to send me another cable. The replacement cable was pathetic, even worse than the original. It's like they're threading some wires into a silicone tube to make it fit like a loose condom. I have attached pictures. This should be the hardest. the bulkiest and poorest constructed cable I have ever received, especially from a company with a previously excellent reputation for design and quality like Anker. This is clearly an unfortunate product at a premium price. However, I'm still not happy. Do not buy this cable. There are many alternatives out there. This is not something anyone should consider I think, on the contrary I hope Anker can do better than this crap!

Cons
