The Anker 553 USB-C Hub has been a game-changer for my work setup. Whether I’m at home or traveling for work, it’s incredibly versatile. At home, it allows me to easily connect dual monitors, which boosts my productivity. On the go, it’s compact and lightweight, making it perfect for travel. The range of ports is excellent, handling everything from HDMI to USB-A and USB-C, so I never feel limited. Setup is quick and seamless, and it’s reliable no matter where I use it. If you need a hub that’s as adaptable as your work life, this is the one to get!

Anker is a great company as far as the products they make. This station allows you extend the use of your pc/laptop offering you more and usb-c and HDMI ports that arent always offered on certain devices. Great product and works as its described.

I have been using this for my M2 MacBook Pro 14 and my wife's M1 MacBook Air. An external monitor, wired network connection and USB connections for mice, printers, scanners, etc all work great. The multiple monitor output issue is not a deal breaker for us as I don't use multiple monitors outside of work.

Update: Anker offered a replacement or refund for the product. I've had many Anker products and this is the first to experience issues like this. Will likely replace it with the same or similar docking station from Anker. It worked really well initially. Generally running 2 monitors off of my laptop for work. It recently started flickering one of the monitor screens every 10 or 20 minutes which wasn't a huge deal. It now has issues supporting 2 screens and has really weird behavior that sometimes requires troubleshooting to get it going again. Expected it to work longer than it has

As expected! Couldn't be happier with the quality or price. Easy to use, small, lightweight, plug and play anywhere you need it.

* UPDATE * Anker contacted me with resolution options to replace or refund. I have to say, I'd definitely recommend Anker products even though this particular one didn't work out for me when I purchased it. We have many Anker products in our household and will continue choose Anker over other brands. I'm boosting my rating from 3 to 5 stars based on the outstanding customer service to ensure I was satisfied. I bought this because my work issued Dell has no ethernet jack and only one USB. Not very helpful when I have a wireless usb mouse, usb keyboard, and usb headset to use. Unfortunately the USBC does not power my 10 key. The USB headset doesn't not perform well with this either. The only one that worked well was the mouse. The ethernet has been hit or miss. The most concerning is how hot it runs. Since I need it intermittently I've missed the return window.

Just started a new job. New work laptop. New employer did not provide a docketing station like my last employer to WFH. Already had 2 monitors Needed a docket station to connect to my new work laptop. Did not want to spend a whole lot as I was only going to be WFH for 2 days a week. Ordered a more expensive docket station that did not work. Monitors never connected to my laptop via that docket station when I hooked everything up the night before my WFH day. Needed a new one in a pinch otherwise I was going to have to go into the office. Ordered this one as it was overnight delivery to be delivered between 4-8am. Hooked everything up at 6am in the morning and everything worked, my monitors were connected to my laptop. Couple of things to note. This docket station does not come with a usb cable to connect to a power source, you need to provide that. This did not charge my work laptop when I was using it. I brought my work laptop charger home and was able to hook it up to charge while I was working. I just wish the USB-C cable that connects the docket to the laptop was a little longer as it does get a little warm, it did not overheat at the end of my workday, I am hoping it does not overheat. I may get another docket station in the future if it comes up for sale but for now, this works for my needs

The product does what it's designed for. It's able to output to 2 monitors simultaneously, read and control USB devices, read SD and micro-SD storage simultaneously, and allowing ethernet connectivity. It works great for my S24+, S24 Ultra and iPad 10 generation. Also works just fine with laptops, S20+, and S21+. Can't go wrong with Anker products. I gave it 4 stars because I have the same model that was purchased a while back which feels more durable/heavier than this one and included a protective pouch.

The Anker 553 USB-C Hub has been an absolute game-changer for me. As someone who relies heavily on a variety of peripherals and external displays, this 8-in-1 USB C dock is perfect for my needs. First off, the dual 4K HDMI ports are incredible. I can effortlessly connect two 4K monitors, which has significantly boosted my productivity and made multitasking a breeze. The video quality is crystal clear, and there's no lag or interference. The additional ports are just as impressive. The USB-C to USB adapter allows me to connect all my essential devices like my keyboard, mouse, and external hard drives without any issues. The transfer speeds are fast and reliable, which is crucial for my work. The 1 Gbps Ethernet port is another fantastic feature. It provides a stable and fast internet connection, which is a huge upgrade from relying on Wi-Fi. This has been especially beneficial for video calls and large file uploads. What really stands out is the hub's build quality and design. It's compact and sleek, making it easy to carry around with my laptop. The materials feel premium and durable, which gives me confidence in its longevity. In summary, the Anker 553 USB-C Hub is perfect for anyone needing a reliable, high-performance docking solution. It has made my workflow more efficient and streamlined, and I couldn't be happier with its performance. Highly recommended!

This is my replacement hub for the Lention that stopped working after 18 months. I had rated that product 5 Star and it was truly great product till one day it decided not to deliver power from the PD port to laptop. Without power supply passing through, it was useless and I scrapped it. Then started my search for a new hub - the biggest challenge though how to identify one that combines good build quality and functionality with longevity. So, I decided to go with known non-chinese brands and Anker came top on the list. So far, the hub is working like a charm, just like Lention. I am hoping that this will last for at least 3 years to justify the price premium. One small gripe is that the USC C cable attached to the hub is too short (15 Cms, I guess). I keep my laptop in a vertical position with lid closed on a stand and work on the monitor. The USB C port on my laptop is on the upper end of the laptop and when I connect the hub, the hub keeps dangling awkwardly. Had to go with 0.5 M extension cable! I will update this review if this fails in less than 3 years!

Le boîtier fonctionne et répond à mes attentes, on peut brancher son chargeur électrique. On branche et sa fonctionne. Rien à dire
HartwigReviewed in Germany on September 13, 2024
Gutes Produkt, die Ports funktionieren zuverlässig. Auf den USB-Ports nutze ich Maus und Tastatur und auf dem HDMI-Port hängt ein Full HD 60 Hz Monitor. Ich habe bereits einen 60 Hz Test durchgeführt und keine Verzögerung bemerkt. Auch kein Flackern am Bildschirm oder Ausfälle festgestellt. Der Lan-Port hält ebenfalls was er verspricht. Ich habe damit eine Lan-Bridge zwischen 2 Geräten hergestellt und habe einen Ping von 0.15-0.19ms. Tolles Produkt, ist den Preis Wert.
