The PowerWave Nano from Anker is a travel power strip that quietly solves one of the most common frustrations for travelers: limited hotel outlets. Weighing just 104 grams, it packs six ports into a slim frame—two USB-C, two fast-charging USB-A, and two standard USB-A—all while keeping its price under $35.
This isn’t the first time Anker has addressed this pain point, but the Nano takes a more compact approach. The previous generation offered four ports in a slightly bulkier design. Now, travelers get two additional USB-C ports and faster charging speeds without adding significant weight or volume to their luggage.
The Nano’s slim profile makes it easy to slip into a carry-on bag or even a pocket, yet it delivers enough power for multiple devices at once. The two USB-C ports support up to 18W of output each, while the fast-charging USB-A ports can handle up to 7.5W. This means a single strip can charge laptops, smartphones, and tablets simultaneously without overheating or drawing excessive current.
For those who frequently travel with multiple devices—or share a room with others—the Nano is a practical upgrade over standard hotel outlets. It eliminates the need for long extension cords or power bricks, reducing clutter and simplifying setup. The compact size also means it won’t take up valuable space in a suitcase.
Availability is immediate, with no waiting period. Pricing remains fixed at $34, making it one of the more affordable solutions for travelers who need reliable, high-density power on the go.
