“Anker's is the three-port unit and it only comes in a two-pack, so you buy two to get one. Per charger, SmartGear is £15.00 cheaper — both give you two USB-C ports, PPS and a foldable UK plug.”
“Anker's has the power display; ours has a fourth port and 100W from any single USB-C. SmartGear is £34.90 cheaper. If the readout matters, Anker; if ports and price matter, SmartGear.”
“Both carry 240W and both are charging cables rather than fast-data cables. Ours folds into a T-shape stand for tight spaces and is £4.00 cheaper; Anker's is braided from upcycled material.”
Free UK delivery, 30-day returns, CE/UKCA certified — the unfair-advantage every Amazon-sold charger can’t match.
