Battle of two Giants - Anker Vs Ravpower - Chargers, Battery Packs, Adapters, and more


Let me start off by saying that Anker and Ravpower are my two favorite companies in terms of chargers and portable battery packs. You cannot go wrong with either one as they have yet to fail me.
After buying some portable chargers from low-level companies that did not last very long, I bought my first Anker power bank a few years back. After loving its quality and fast charging capabilities, I bought a 4 port charger for my office table followed by a 4 port car charger, micro USB cables, wireless charger, phone stand, and a gigantic 20000 mAh portable charger.  During this time, I decided to try out Ravpower as well. Throughout the years, I have collected four of the 4 port chargers, four wireless chargers, wall adapters, portable chargers and of course more micro USB cables.





Let's try to separate the two companies based on a few factors: Quality, Price, Warranty, and Product Lineup.


Quality
  • Anker: Its products are durable and always reliable. Throughout my years of using multiple Anker products, there has only been one time that one of the 4 port chargers did not function properly about after a year of using it. Anker immediately sent me a new 4 port charger as a replacement.
  • RavPower: It is neck in neck with Anker in terms of build quality and reliability. I have never had any issues with any of my Ravpower products
Price
  • Anker: It is fairly priced and won't break the bank for what you are getting in return. 
  • Ravpower: It is priced slightly lower than Anker for the most part and is definitely the best bang for the buck. 
Warranty
  • Anker: It boasts an 18-month warranty and from personal experience, they deliver on their work. If there are any issues with the product within this timeframe, they are very easy to email and get a solution. (They typically get back to you with a solution within a few days)
  • RavPower: It has a 12-month warranty and since the build quality is great, I have never had to test it out. With all my RavPower products, I register them online on their website and they offer me a lifetime warranty on those products! I am not sure if Anker has this feature but it really blew me away and has me leaning more towards RavPower for my recent charger and portable charger purchases.
Product Lineup
  • Both Anker and RavPower have pretty much the same type of products such as wall chargers, wall adapters, car chargers, wireless chargers, charging cables, and different capacity portable chargers. Anker is a little more diverse and does have additional items like portable speakers, phone stands, USB hub and more.

My Collection 
This review is just a general overview of two of my favorite companies for battery packs and chargers. I will try to do a more detail review of some of the individual products at a later time but here is a list of my collection so far. I also attached the links to take to directly to the Amazon page of the product if you want to take a look at it.

Anker
  • Portable Charger Anker PowerCore 20100mAh - Ultra High Capacity Power Bank with 4.8A Output - Amazon Link
  • Anker Wireless Charger Charging Pad - Amazon Link (Currently unavailable)
  • Anker PowerCore 13000, Compact 13000mAh 2-Port Ultra-Portable Phone Charger Power Bank with PowerIQ and VoltageBoost Technology - Amazon Link
  • Anker [5-Pack] Powerline Micro USB - Charging Cable - Amazon Link
  • Anker 4-Port USB 3.0 Ultra Slim Data Hub - Amazon Link
  • Anker PowerCore 10000, One of The Smallest and Lightest 10000mAh External Batteries, Ultra-Compact, High-Speed Charging Technology - Amazon Link
  • Anker Portable Multi-Angle Stand for Tablets, e-readers and Smartphones - Amazon Link

RavPower

  • USB Charging Station, RAVPower 4-Port USB Charger 40W 8A Multi Charger - Amazon Link
  • USB Fast Charger RAVPower 40W 4-Port QC 3.0 Fast Charger Desktop Charging Station - Amazon Link
  • Portable Charger RAVPower 6700mAh (2.4A Output & 2A Input) External Battery Pack- Amazon Link
  • Fast Wireless Charger RAVPower Qi-Certified 7.5W - Amazon Link
  • Wireless Charging Stand RAVPower 2 Coils Qi Certified Fast Wireless Charger 10W Qi - Amazon Link

In Conclusion, you really cannot go wrong with either of these companies. Both of them stand behind their products with Anker's 18-month warranty and RavPower's lifetime warranty if you register the product online. Both of these companies match up neck and neck in terms of quality and reliability. Anker seems to have a little more experience and more products in its line up compared to Ravpower but Ravpower is slightly cheaper than Anker and the best bang for the buck in terms of pricing.

PureZone 3-in-1 HEPA Air Purifier Review

Up for discussion Today is the PureZone 3-in-1 HEPA Air Purifier by Pure Enrichment. This is a product that I have used for over a year. So let's dive right into it.  Description  For those that are not familiar with what this product does, it draws in surrounding air and filters it and blows out purified air into the room. It is great for filtering dust, pollen, and floating particles in your home using a 3-in-1 HEPA filter. It also contains a UV-C light that is supposed to kill germs and bacteria.   It has 4 touch sensitive buttons on the top that control its many features. The first button is the power button which turns the unit on and off. The second button sets the fan speed to level 1,2 or 3. The third button cycles through the UV-C light power on/off and the sleep mode. The noise level of this fan is very low on level 1 and gets slightly higher on level 2 and 3. The sleep mode makes it even quieter. The last button is timer settings for 2, 4 and 8 hrs, after which
