I have a bunch of Ankers, and of course at least one of them was part of this.

Anker has always been shit. I bought a few things from them in the past and most didn't last 6 months.

I’ve had good luck with Anker, generally speaking. One of their MagSafe docks is a bit weak, such that I couldn’t charge through certain cases with a Snap 4 on it, but good with others. But other than that I’ve never had an issue with their products.
