Anker's early Black Friday sale has transitioned into a full-fledged Black Friday event today, so we're highlighting all of the best discounts you'll find in the new sale. With this sale, you can save up to 60 percent on Anker accessories, and you don't need to purchase more than one accessory at a time to get a bundle discount this time around. There are also still a few "mystery boxes" that can include hundreds of dollars in savings, if you're willing to risk not knowing what you're buying ahead of time.

In terms of the base sale, there are plenty of great accessories that you can buy to take advantage of the savings. A new highlight is the Prime 20,000 mAh Power Bank with 100W Charging Base for $129.50, down from $184.99. If you just want a portable battery with a smart display, the PowerCore 24,000 mAh Power Bank with Smart Digital Display is at $92.00, down from $159.99.



At the bottom of the Black Friday sale page, Anker also has a few blind boxes on sale, priced at $19.99 (up to $219.99 in value) and at $29.99 (up to $219.99 in value). These mystery boxes include one Anker accessory, but you won't know what you're getting until they arrive. All items in the $19.99 box are worth more than $19.99, and all items in the $29.99 box are worth more than $29.99, so no matter what you'll be getting a deal.

All mystery box items are non-returnable (with the exception of quality issues). These could net you a huge discount with a collection of solid stocking stuffers for the holidays, if you're willing to take the blind box risk. Anker's Black Friday sale will run through December 3.

Got the $19.99 mystery box and got a $29.99 Nano Power Bank in blue which is currently sold out on their site. Not too shabby. Now I'm curious about the $59.99 mystery box which is on its way via UPS. Appears that this particular box is no longer available for purchase on their website though.
 
Too bad no sale for Anker 737 that will do USB C PD 140 watt with magsafe 3.
 
Here's the problem with most Black Friday sales. They're not much different than the sales manufacturers offer up any other time of the year. These Anker sales are about the same prices they had in October, September, August, and so on. If any one product has a better sale, it usually is the product is being discontinued, or is overstocked. Not because they want to give us a great deal.

There's a few areas of high priced products I've been eyeing for months. Camera equipment is one of them. When the Black Friday sales came out they were all so disappointing. Only one item had a really good price and it was, as I said before, the one product that right now is known to be selling slowly.

So just remember, Black Friday is not about the consumer, it is about the seller and what their needs are. Don't get fooled again!
 
Currently still waiting for one of their new power bank products that had an estimated ship date for first week of October. Placed an order beginning of September and order still on “confirmed” status with nothing else.

I got the conference room charger. Not sure how useful it is for me. Although, I really like the retractable USB C cables on it.
 
Still boycotting Anker due to their piss-poor business practices and arrogance towards consumers.

I didn't know about this. I definitely won't be buying a Eufy security camera!

I have a Eufy "smart lock" and it's a piece of junk.

But Anker's chargers, cables, and batteries are top notch and competitively priced. I'm going to have a hard time boycotting those.
