5 Anker accessories you’ll want to keep around the house

Most of your digital life revolves around your daily drivers: your phone, your computer, and maybe even a tablet. These are devices that you’ve probably spent a lot of time carefully choosing to ensure they perfectly fit your lifestyle and needs. More often than not, though, you overlook an important part of your setup: the accessories that keep your daily drivers powered and convenient to use.

At a minimum, you need a high-power charger and a reliable cable for your devices. But it takes more than these two basic accessories to create a truly practical tech setup, especially at home. You need a combination of good power banks, power strips, and other types of cables.

But of course, not all accessories are equally useful. It’s important to choose the right appliances to get the most out of the appliances without making your home more cluttered than you’d like. If you want to create a more practical and functional technology setup, Anker offers a wide range of accessories to keep around the house. Here are five.

Owning an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods normally means you need to have three separate chargers to charge them at the same time. This can be complicated and cause you to deal with too many cluttered cables. If you want a more convenient alternative, a three-in-one wireless charger like the Anker Prime Wireless Charging Station (Foldable) is a solid option.

This Apple-exclusive charger lets you charge your phone, smartwatch, and wireless earbuds simultaneously. When paired with the 45-watt adapter included in the box, it offers Qi2.2 fast charging at up to 25 watts. It’s almost as good as your usual wall charger. In fact, it only takes this Anker charger 26 minutes to take an iPhone 17 Pro from dead to 50% charged. However, 25-watt fast charging only applies to iPhone 16 series and later. Older models do not support Qi2.2 and are limited to 15 watts.

Design-wise, this wireless charging station is foldable and doubles as a phone stand. You can adjust the stand from zero to 60 degrees and rotate your phone to landscape or portrait mode as needed. It also only measures 3.74 x 2.38 x 1.22 inches, so it won’t take up much space on your nightstand or work desk. It can also work on your living room side table, allowing you to charge your devices while you watch your favorite movie. It’s also a good choice in the kitchen, especially if you use your phone to read recipes.

If you’re tired of tangled cables in your home office, one of the best gadgets to help you declutter your desk is the Nano Power Strip Clamp. Unlike traditional power strips, this model attaches to the edge of your desk instead of just sitting on it. It comes with non-slip pads and a tightening button to keep it securely in place, meaning it won’t come loose easily. You can install this power strip clamp on any table as long as it has a clampable edge and is between 0.6 and 1.8 inches thick.

In terms of output ports, the Nano Power Strip Clamp includes two USB-C ports, each rated to deliver a maximum of 70 watts. That’s usually enough to charge your phone, tablet, and even your laptop, so you won’t have to keep multiple charging bricks on your desk. There are also two USB-A ports on the power strip for your other small electronics and six AC outlets for larger devices like your monitor, desktop computer, TV, and electric fan. For convenience, the exits are distributed on several sides: two at the top, one on each side of the lower zone and two below the lower zone. This arrangement gives your desk a cleaner look since the cables are not stacked on one side.

Another nice touch is the compact size of the Nano Power Strip pliers. It’s only the length and width of a phone, and the top area is less than an inch thick, making it barely visible on your desk. This sleek design also works well in other spaces, including your small nightstand, your garage workbench, and your kitchen island.

You can’t have too many power strips in your home, especially if your wall outlets are awkwardly placed or you don’t have enough to accommodate all your devices. But having big power strips around the house isn’t really visually appealing. If you want easy access to AC power without it being an eyesore, Anker offers a solution in the form of the five-foot-long Nano 6-in-1 Charging Station.

This charging station comes with two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, and two AC ports to accommodate your various devices. The USB-C ports are rated at 67 watts of fast charging for single-port charging, enough to fully charge a 13-inch MacBook Pro laptop in less than two hours. On the other hand, the two USB-A ports each deliver a maximum of 12 watts.

Besides charging performance, what differentiates the Nano 6-in-1 charging station from traditional power strips is its form factor. It’s quite compact at just 3.6 x 3.8 x 0.7 inches, so you might not even notice it when it’s on your kitchen counter, coffee table, or home office. The plug is equally sleek, measuring just 0.35 inches thick. This means you can easily hide it behind sofas and cabinets, as it won’t stick out like a regular socket. Although compact, this charging station remains safe to use, thanks to its seven-point security system. This includes fire resistance, overvoltage and overcurrent protection, and a temperature control system.

A power bank is often used for outdoor activities and travel, but it is also one of the essential gadgets to deal with power outages at home. If you’re looking for a high-capacity power bank to help you get through a power outage in your area, check out the Anker Prime Power Bank 26 with a charging capacity of 26,250 milliamp-hours.

With its large capacity, this external battery is designed to power up to 19 hours of video conferencing on a MacBook Pro M4 and 5.5 days of video streaming on an iPhone 17 Pro Max. It can only charge an M4 MacBook Pro to 80%, but for smaller devices, you can easily get at least a full charge with this Prime Power Bank. While it packs a punch, it’s still small enough to fit in your drawer. It measures just 6.3 x 1.5 x 2.5 inches and weighs about as much as a 20-ounce water bottle.

In total, the power bank offers up to 300 watts of power through its two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. Its built-in USB-C ports can deliver up to 140 watts each, meaning they can charge a MacBook Pro M4 Pro to 50% in 27 minutes, an iPhone 17 Pro Max to 50% in 22 minutes, and a Samsung S25 Ultra in 26 minutes. The power bank itself can also be charged quickly. You can plug it into two 140-watt USB-C chargers at the same time to get to 50% charge in just 13 minutes and 80% in 40 minutes, useful when you’re in a hurry to recharge.

Although USB-C is the most commonly used port in devices these days, you may still own old electronic devices that have a microUSB or Lightning port. Instead of having several different cables for each of your different devices, you can use a 3-in-1 cable like the Anker 321 USB-A to Lightning/USB-C/MicroUSB Cable.

This is a 35-inch three-head cable, where the microUSB connector serves as an adapter for Lightning and USB-C connectors. You can use the microUSB end for older devices like flashlights and Bluetooth speakers, while the Lightning cable can be handy for older Apple hardware like the AirPods 3 and iPhone 14. Of course, the USB-C connector is used to charge most of your devices like modern smartphones, power banks, and smartwatches. You can also use the cable to transfer data.

If you primarily use Apple devices, you’ll be happy to know that this cable is also MFi certified. This means that it is officially compatible with Apple products. But whether you use Apple products or not, the cable can withstand regular use, with a rated lifespan of up to 12,000 bends. Besides keeping one in your drawer for frequent use, the Anker 321 cable is also a must-have for your travels, especially if you’re bringing both new and old devices.

When putting together this list, we focused on quality Anker accessories that are particularly suitable for home use. Each device can help you solve a common household problem, like charging multiple devices or decluttering messy desk setups. The gadgets on this list are all well-used items, accessories you’ll need every day, or at least in an emergency. Size was also taken into account when we narrowed down our choices here.
