I was supplied a sample for test and evaluation, and I promise that my review is fair and honest.As you can see in the photos, you cannot beat the size for a device with 5000 capacity. It's light and smaller then your average sized wallet.It is super easy to use with an easy to see battery gauge that is very clear and accurate in letting you know how much battery power you have left or what the current charging level is at.Any smartphone user would really benefit from this product and at this point as my phone dies multiple times a day (conversation for a different time), but anyone who has battery issues as I do will love this.I have used over 25 different portable chargers over the years and this is as good or better then the ones I have tried, including charge speed (for non quick charge it is uniquely fast, less then a percent a minute), its durability, and battery life.I keep it with me all day, and I do not feel its weight in my pocket and I even charge it on the go from my pocket to the holster, which is super efficient.The cord is extremely durable and long enough to use even from my pocket, so it is out of mind and still in use. Obviously you ca get any charging cable but its nice to initially have along (but not too long) and a durable one.I have already dropped it numerous times, not a scratch so far it is a really durable piece! very click too!Overall VERY happy with this product, and I highly recommend it for anyone at this price especially.

I bought this as my iPhone battery was dying and not holding a charge anymore.This ≈10cm charger will let me use my dying iPhone all day and with its small size you almost forget you are carrying it around in your pocket.Although I will have to get my iPhone battery replaced (which Apple have quoted £268 to do) this charger purchased for £13.99 will at least let me continue in the meantime.Charging time for the PowerCore is a couple of hours, it comes with the necessary Micro-USB cable (which you can then also use to charge any Micro-USB device from the PowerCore) but you will need to have your own cables for an iPhone or other devices that do not have the standard D-Shaped Micro-USB port.I would highly recommend purchasing one of these to anyone who has a smartphone or USB chargeable device.

First one broke & wouldn’t charge but customer service is great & they swapped it. Small enough to carry, charges phone like 1.5 times so very handy. Don’t bother with an ipad it just eats power you need something bigger for that.

I purchased the Anker PowerCore 5000 roughly a month ago, in black and find it to be excellent.It’s so neat and robust to look at and feels nice and smooth in your hand. Not heavy at all.It comes with a lead for charging the Powerbank, also, a very useful little bag. All packaged beautifully in a box with instructions.I bought this to take on a trip to Australia with me, to charge my iPhone 6s, plus my iPod Nano, this it did admirably. I wasn’t sure if there would be charging facilities on the planes. There were as it turned out but it’s nice to be prepared.I took it with me on a trip to the mountains also and it did all that I expected it to do, still with power to spare.When it arrived it was about a third charged, so I charged it fully, this took a couple of hours. I then tested it out on my 6s, my iPod and my iPad mini and was pleased with the results, it charged all of them probably from about half way, still leaving plenty of power in the Powerbank.My daughter was very taken with this also, so naturally, doing what Mothers do, I bought her one. She chose the white and said it’s “Brilliant Mum” takes it everywhere. As with mine, fits easily in your bag. In the little pouch provided.I complimented my purchase with an Anker PowerLine +11, foot long lightning cable. This too is an excellent product and one you feel is safe to use with your gadgets and is of high quality.I initially wasn’t sure if I wanted a cylinder type one or a flat one, ideally I would have liked to try the two different kinds. I did have a moment when my “Smartie Tube” one rolled off the seat on the plane and I was wrestling it from the feet of my surprised traveling companion in the row in front. My fault entirely however.Well, I didn’t get to try the two kinds, I chose this type and it’s a little piece of equipment I feel is a definite must have.Would highly recommend this product.

Little sceptical about the capacity, but i really didn't want to buy the 10000+mAH battery banks as they get quite heavy and bulky going past 5000mah. Anyway, Tried this one, and i think its "fairly" compact. The round cylinder design is not small, yet not huge enough to be a burden. Lets say you're going to get some interesting looks as you walk down the street with it in your front trouser pockets. The best i can compare the size to is a tube of Smarties chocolate.Charging the battery bank takes about 60 - 90 minutes for me. Initially I was getting roughly 1 full mobile phone charge before it indicated low. But after usage and a couple charges over night - i found i was getting just under2 full charges for my Samsung Galaxy s10+. So it seems when you get your new battery bank - you'll need to use it and fully charge it a few times before you get full capacity out of it.The only major con i found with this product is the input port used to charge the battery bank - its still using a micro USB instead of a USB-C, meaning i have to carry a dedicated micro usb cable around with it rather than use the same cable i use on my phone. A minor con ( which i think they should also improve) is the power indicators, there are only 3 lights indicating the amount of charge left in the battery bank. I would like it in a future update that they add some extra lights (maybe 4 or 5 lights) to help me better gauge how much charge is left.Would i recommend this? Yes - its not too heavy and the size is just about right. Its simple to use. Yes the micro-usb is an annoyance, but i can live with it. I do hope they will update this product with a USB-C input soon!
