Over the years, I've collected more wall chargers than I could ever possibly need. They've come with old phones, small electronics, and even household items, most of the USB Type-A variety. However, as electronics have evolved, I found myself fighting over the very few USB Type-C ports I have to power up a majority of my devices. I found a cheap multiport wall charger on Amazon, but after that stopped working after only a few months, I decided this is an item worth investing in.
That's when I came across the Anker 735 (Nano II 65W) Charger. With multiple ports, fast charging capabilities, and a compact size, I knew it was a must-own item and added it to my cart immediately. Originally $40, I got it on sale for just $26, and for a limited time, you can, too.
Anker touts this as "the only charger you need," and it's not wrong. While I still make use of my power strips with built-in charging ports, this charger powers up the devices I need the most in record time compared to previous wall chargers I've owned. With a maximum power output of 65 watts (W), I can charge my 13-inch MacBook Air in just one and a half hours, and according to Anker, it can charge a 14-inch MacBook Pro in two hours. It charges the battery of my iPhone 16 Pro to 50% in just 30 minutes.

The charger uses GaN II technology, offering major power in a small device. It measures 1.15 inches long, 2.6 inches wide, and 1.5 inches high, making it a small, fast-charging device that won't take up a ton of room on an outlet surge protector. And with two USB Type-C ports and one USB Type-A port, I can charge multiple devices at once.
It's also lightweight, making it as easy as can be to throw in my bag or the pocket of my laptop case when I'm out and about. And it has a foldable plug, which saves even more space wherever I store it.
The Anker 735 (Nano II 65W) Charger is on sale for just $26 at Amazon. While it's not the cheapest wall charger you'll find online, it's certainly one of the most reliable and efficient for the price. I don't regret my purchase one bit, and I don't think you will either. Better to spend a little more now for a high-quality charger than buy multiple inexpensive ones in the future, right?
