Do you use anker MagSafe products? How are they?

Got the 621 and it kind of sucks. Constantly disconnects and slow charging. Wonder if this is just the product
Anker was bought a while back, and now most of their products are the same generic internals to everything else on the market. Sadly it's just e-commerce roulette to see if you get the dud chipset or if you're the lucky winner of a mostly functional product.
(the biggest offender here are USB hubs. Literally every single on on amazon (that isn't for a server rack) has exactly the same components just with a slightly different pcb layout)
edit: Here's a wonderful article wherein a nerd slowly loses their mind over this issue
I had no idea they were bought. That makes sense why their quality has been declining. I have been moving away from their stuff in the last few years.
Away to what?
Various, ugreen, lisen, rampow.
I find just buying the Apple product is usually worth it as it lasts longer and performs better. ¯(ツ)/¯
That explains a lot! I didn’t know that. Do you know when?
According to some brief googling, they were bought by continum in july 2021
Thanks for that
I mean, I'm sorry to be the one to bear the bad news about yet another once-decent brand being thrown into the pit of private equity.
Well it’s expected
