I've had a bunch of anker products. All have been reasonably priced with high build quality. Not all Chinese brands are trash. People who like high quality electronics from non Chinese companies are about to find out where they are manufactured.

People who say Chinese manufacture is crap, is the people who expect Walmart stuff to be durable.

Oh thank God I thought this included everyone but it's just the US.

Anker makes some great stuff

Doesn't seem more expensive with my VPN set to US currently? Maybe resellers haven't updated yet
