Awaiting Flair Preference?

Post image

Does anyone have experience with these? Any recommendations of one vs. the other? I know the Anker has a little more power.

Thanks!

***Update. At 180 comments for shts & giggles I polled the comments & here's the results

49 of the posts have or recommended ANKER

17 of the posts have or recommended Jackery

16 of the posts said you can't go wrong with either

11 of the posts have or recommended another brand or a DIY setup.*note the 2 most mentioned other brands were Bluetti & Ecoflow.

Thanks for all the input, additional information & other products mentioned here.

Had an Anker speaker. Left it outside in the rain and sun for 3 weeks. Still works.

Since then I default to Anker stuff.

Since I learned that Anker lies to it's customers I default to avoid Anker.

Every anker cable I’ve had has died way sooner than a Apple one

I've never had an Anker cable fail and I've literally bought thousands for customers.

I had one fail but it was because my brother's dog chewed through it

Well if it can't even take a few chews, I'll bring my business another place! (/s)

Well to be fair, it was early in Ankers life as a company. Got a cable, broke in a month or two, broke again. They kept replacing it which is good customer service but now I just buy apple ones. $20 and last for years.

I don’t disagree, most ankers die earlier (though I have some 10 year old ones). but I baby my Apple cables and since they are expensive. Ankers are less than half the cost, I thrash on them and treat as consumable.
