26 Home Office Amazon Prime Day Deals 2025

Buzz Feeda day ago
Amazon Prime Day is here! There are more deals than you could ever begin to look through on your own...so that's where we come in.
Up to 33% off a laptop stand so you can type on your computer at eye level and avoid slouching in a chair. Your neck and shoulders will thank you too, because you'll stop looking down every time you receive a message on your laptop screen.
Promising review: "This was recommended in an article about working from home. It is SO worth it! It's incredibly sturdy. The laptop is now placed at a perfect angle. I bought a wireless keyboard that I can use with my laptop when the laptop is in the stand — and then at the end of my workday, I just slide my wireless keyboard under the laptop in the space created by the stand, and I regain that bit of space on my table. I love it. Add in the brushed silvery tone, and it has been a great investment for me." —Joe MamaPrice: $19.98+ (originally $29.99+; available in nine colors)
Or, up to 30% off a desk stand organizer if you want to prevent the dreaded tech neck while also keeping all of your office essentials organized to a tee. This has room for all your important files, sticky notes, pens, and anything else that typically clutters your workspace.
Promising review: "I am so glad this is the shelf unit I chose for my new computer setup. It raises the computer to the perfect height to keep my neck upright and comfortable. The built-in shelves and cubbies are great for holding post-it notes, pens and pencils, and notepads. I also love having all cords out of sight.Simply put, this unit is attractive, easy to clean, and sturdy enough to last a very long time." —mamajPrice: $20.98+ (originally $29.99+; available in 11 colors)
33% off an Anker ergonomic mouse because using a regular, flat-laying mouse is basically a crime for your wrist when you're on your computer all day. This encourages you to use a more neutral position and helps prevent overall strain on your wrist and arm.
Promising review: "This awesome ergonomic mouse was EXACTLY what I needed to help with keeping my wrist from hurting at the end of the work day. From day one, it instantly helped keep my wrist at just the right posture without having to strain myself. Buttons are smooth and DIG the options for the movement speed of the cursor. I recommend this to anyone who spends a lot of hours on PC." —LiToPrice: $19.99 (originally $29.99)
33% off a TP-Link Wi-Fi extender (the lowest price ever) so you can boost your service throughout the whole house, even in those dead zones where your movies or files always buffer. Whether you've got a Zoom work meeting or an equally important episode of The Office to rewatch, this extender won't disappoint.
Promising review: "I purchased this item because my job went from hybrid to work from home. My internet router is located in my master bedroom, but my office is in the middle of my house, meaning I didn't have a strong signal for work. I called my internet provider, and they wanted to charge me a lot of money to extend the internet across my house. I ended up buying this extender to help with the signal. I'm glad I purchased it because now I have coverage on the other side of my house. It was easy to install, and the app is super simple, all for a great price. Thanks to the TP-Link extender, without it, I would've had to go back to work at the office." —JaryPrice: $19.99 (originally $29.99) and shop all the TP-Link deals here
Up to 41% off an electric, adjustable standing desk that allows you to stretch your legs and take standing breaks throughout the day, without missing a beat in your emails or meetings. This allows you to simply raise or lower your computer to eye level with the press of a button.
Promising review: "This desk is wonderful! I got it to switch from a stationary to a sit/stand desk. I liked that the desktop was one solid piece (vs some that are 2 pieces), and I liked the combination of desktop and desk leg colors. My dad and I worked to put this together, and it took us about an hour. All of the screws and things needed came in nicely labeled bags, and it was really easy to figure out what we needed to use. You do need to supply your own screwdriver or drill. Once put together, it was easy to set the default heights for sitting and standing. The desk is actually pretty quiet when it moves! It is not super fast to raise/lower, but it moves along at a nice pace, and everything feels sturdy when it's moving. I have been using this for about a week now and I love it!" —Amazon CustomerPrice: $99.99+ (originally $169.99+; available in five sizes and 11 colors) —and shop all the Flexispot deals here
Up to 35% off an adjustable under desk footrest so you can have a plush place for your feet during your work day. It helps promote a more ergonomic position when you're sitting and can help relieve pain in your lower back. Plus, you can even put it under your knees if you plan to do work lying down on the couch!
Promising review: "This has been one of my best office purchases so far this year! This cushion arrived quickly and it's basically a big memory foam pillow for your feet! It's firm enough to keep your feet elevated and so comfortable! It's lightweight, big enough to accommodate any size of feet, and it has nonslip dots on the bottom. This has helped with my posture and has provided some much-needed relief for my back pain from sitting in a chair that's a little too tall. Also great even if you're sitting on your couch and relaxing if your feet don't quite touch the ground. Very sturdy for a foam pillow, supports your feet well and also quite breathable while maintaining warmth to the bottom of your feet. Seriously, if you're considering this I can't recommend it enough!" —Amanda GPrice: $19.53+ (typically $29.99+; available in three colors and three sizes)
30% off a walking pad for those who want to reach their 10,000-step goal while also checking off all their to-do's for the work day. This is easy to set up and easy to store away when not in use.
Promising review: "I have been using the walking pad for 3 weeks in my home office and this product is fantastic. Low noise, very easy setup and portable, easy to use remote control, and a perfect size to be used under the desk while working at home. Definitely a good option if you are planning to combine your daily home office duties with exercise." —ReinaldoPrice: $84.99 (typically $119.99; available in two styles)
33% off a Cubii under-desk elliptical machine when you wanna sit *and* spin while building spreadsheets, answering emails, and even taking conference calls. It offers different resistance levels and is a great way to get in a workout during your regular 9–5.
Promising review: "Highly recommend! It's easy to put together and even comes with its own screwdriver. It's whisper-quiet and easy to set up. I got it for my wife to use as she has back issues and diabetes. It helps her get exercise and increase circulation. Get this product as its power source is self-contained and requires no cord. It even has a phone app for tracking progress. Much better than Legxercise for not much more money." —redwings90Price: $166.24 (originally $248)
Up to 27% off a sleek LED desk lamp because sometimes your ceiling light can be a little too strong or even not strong enough. This is easily attached to the side of your desk, and you can adjust the brightness AND the warmth, so you can enjoy the light that is just right for you.
Promising review: "Completely elevated my desk set up!!! Can't believe it took me this long to get a desk lamp that clamps to the table — an absolute game changer and has saved so much space. The light is strong (but dimmable) and I love the multiple light selections based on what you need it for. Super sleek and took me 2 mins to set up." —Nicole NgPrice: $19.68+ (originally $25.99+; available in six colors and three styles)
Up to 48% off a mounted power strip you can attach to the side of your desk so you don't have to dive under your desk to find your computer or phone charger. It's equipped with USB, USB-C, and AC outlets for all your charging needs.
Promising review: "Amazing! I absolutely love this desk clamp power strip. My brother-in-law recommended it and now I seriously can't live without it. It's super convenient, keeps cords organized, and gives me easy access to outlets and USB ports right on my desk. Total game-changer for my workspace! Especially since I work from home." —Yai RecommendsPrice: $20.99+ (originally $39.99, typically goes for $29.99; available in two sizes and two colors)
20% off a 23.8-inch Dell monitor since you constantly have a bajillion tabs open on your work computer and are starting to realize you want a larger screen or want to add an extra monitor to your desk setup.
Promising review: "This monitor is so nice that as soon as I put it together, I purchased another one. It is great for my home office and with the ability to go vertical, I can use one monitor for my excel spreadsheets and see almost the entire sheet for data analysis and the other one for everything else. It was simple to put together and it is beautiful to look at. This was a great purchase and worth every penny." —IshriPrice: $119.99 (originally $149.99)
40% off (that's $100 off, an all-new lowest price ever!) the 2nd Gen AirPods Pro for anyone who *must* jam out while working in their home office. With active noise cancellation, spatial audio, three silicone tips for a customized fit, and over 24 hours of listening time with the included case, the AirPods Pro 2 gives you a *ton* of bang for your buck.
Promising review: "I held off on buying the AirPods Pro for a while, but now I wish I'd gotten them sooner. The noise cancellation is incredible — it truly blocks out the world when I need to focus or relax. The sound quality is crisp, with just the right amount of bass, and the transparency mode is surprisingly natural when I want to stay aware of my surroundings. They fit comfortably in my ears (even during long walks or workouts), and the customizable ear tips are a huge plus. I love how seamlessly they connect to all my Apple devices — switching between my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook is effortless. The case is compact and charges super fast. Battery life is solid, and I've never had them die on me mid-use. Whether I'm listening to music, taking calls, or watching shows, these AirPods have been flawless. Hands down one of the best tech purchases I've made. If you're on the fence — go for it. You won't regret it!" —Martha NavarroPrice: $149 (originally $249 (and currently $249 at Apple); typically $189.99 at Amazon)
Or 50-51% off Beats Solo 4 headphones at the lowest price they go for — they flex some GORGEOUS spatial audio, a whopping 50 hours of battery life, and genuine "all day wear" comfort, perfect for when your 9-5 is really feeling like a full eight hours. Plus, reviewers love how lightweight and wearable these are compared to other brands.
Promising review: 'Impressive sound, stylish and sophisticated headphones. I personally like how it's not complete noise cancellation since I like to be aware of the environment around me. So this headphone is amazing for the right reasons. Quality, style, sound, and safety. Not to mention how sleek it is. Finally, headphones that are not bulky or heavy. I appreciate the smooth texture and feel and the cushioned headband part. It's also easy to pair with my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. The blue slate color is classy, too! Excellent product!' —Diane Price: $97.99+ (originally $199.95; available in four colors)
Up to 20% off a mesh ergonomic desk chair that'll help make sitting at a desk a more comfortable experience. Notable features include adjustable lumbar support, a soft seat cushion made of high-density foam, and thick, padded armrests.
Promising review: "I bought this chair a few months ago. So far, the chair is good in regard to my back pain. I have upper-middle back pain with burning sensations. Since I got this chair, I am getting better. I recommend this chair for ergo use, for those who sit in front of the computer for a long period of time. It also has adjustable lower back support, which really helped me. I am a computer engineer and normally I sit 10-12 hours per day in front of the computer." —RyanPrice: $119.99+ (originally $149.99+; available in two styles and 16 colors)
36% off an Echo Dot because there are all sorts of fun (and useful) things you can do with it — like blast your favorite song for a dance party, check the weather, or ask Alexa silly questions to help you get through another day working from home.
Promising review: "My friends kept telling me I should buy an Alexa. One friend gave me a demonstration of how easy and fast it was to obtain an internet radio station. Or how quickly it will solve mathematical problems. I was convinced and bought one. Liked it so much that I immediately ordered 4 more. Turns out you can synchronize all of them, so they play the same radio station or music in each room of your home. Although Alexas are smaller than a softball, they have amazingly rich sound. No, they won't replace my $2500 stereo system, but they have replaced all my internet radios and boom-boxes. Soon, I'll be installing electric switches that Alexa can control. Buy an Alexa. You'll like it!" —DavePrice: $31.99 (originally $49.99; available in three colors)
42% off of a foot massager machine so you can get a spa treatment at home while doing your work. It's got everything: heat, deep kneading, and a wireless remote so you don't have to bend down to adjust it (because let's be real, you're already too comfortable for that).
Promising review: "This is a very nice foot massager with lots of options. You can adjust the pressure surrounding your feet, the temp, and the speed of the massage. It has buttons on it to do this but the remote makes it really convenient to stay as you are while you change the settings. My kids have used it several times, and despite the foot area looking too big for them, it tightens nicely around their small feet to accomplish the task. Would recommend for anyone with sore, tired feet." —JessePrice: $79.99 (originally $137.77; typically goes for $129.97)
22% off (that's the lowest price this goes for!) a compact Levoit air purifier with a true HEPA filter to trap that pesky dust, pollen, smoke, pet dander, and other particles in the air that are keeping your home office from smelling fresh. Plus, this has smart features, like the ability to control it from your phone *and* the ability to set a schedule, so it'll automatically set itself to "sleep mode" with "no nightlight" at 10 p.m. every night. Now that's smart.
I have the non-smart version of this in my bedroom, and I love it. Just note that when you get it, you need to take the filter out and unwrap it before using it!Promising review: "I waited over a month to write a review — this air purifier is amazing!! It's one of those products that you don't understand how much of a difference it makes until you get one. I have two cats, and my house is all carpeted, so the house can smell stagnant sometimes, especially if the AC is off. One of my cats also has asthma, so I got this air purifier mostly for her, but it's made such a HUGE difference in the way my home smells. Since having it, my house has consistently smelled fresh, clean, and odorless. Even after forgetting to clean the litter boxes, my house has not smelled like cat litter since I've had it. It's very easy to set up. I bought a little plant stand to put it on so it wouldn't be on the carpet. It's very quiet, and the app is easy to use. It tells you the life of your filter, which is super helpful, and these filters last for a long time! You can set it up to be on a schedule, so you can set it up once and just forget about it. I recommend this air purifier to everyone. I'm NEVER worried about my house smelling anything but clean now. I would repurchase this a thousand times over." —haileePrice: $69.97 (originally $89.99; available in black and white)
20% off a set of monitor memo boards if you're guilty of always placing sticky notes on your desk only for you to forget about them. This keeps them at eye-level and even has a little ledge for your phone.
Promising review: "These translucent extenders keep reminders in front of me while not interfering with the computer screen. The rounded clips on top hold papers when needed (typing from), and the rounded bottom 'shelves' notecards and/or my cell phone. Well designed! Easy to apply to the side of monitor." —Lucene CaropresoPrice: $7.99 (originally $9.99)
20% off a non-slip desk mat to add a pop of color to your cubicle or give you a smooth surface to work on, especially if you've been using the same scratched-up desk for yearssss. Plus, it doubles as a mouse pad!
Promising review: "I absolutely love this desk pad! The sky blue color is beautiful and adds a pop of color to my workspace. The nonslip feature works great, keeping my mouse and keyboard in place as I work. The waterproof PVC leather material is easy to clean and has protected my desk from spills and scratches. The size is perfect for my desk and provides ample space for my laptop and other accessories. Overall, I highly recommend this desk pad for anyone looking to add both style and functionality to their workspace." —TiaraPrice: $11.19 (originally $13.99; available in 17 colors and five sizes)
Up to 21% off a linen-lined bulletin board for an aesthetic way to display cute pictures, important reminders, and any fun decor that'll add some personality to your workspace. Plus, it comes with push pins!
Promising review: "In love with this board! It feels amazing. I really like the texture in the center is really nice. The wood finish and the pins are a really nice touch. It's also reversible. This is cool because I have one side for work things, and after I'm done, I flip over to the other side for a more personal touch. I added the jute string, but it came with a kit to hang. Really recommend!" —Karina De JesusPrice: $9.49+ (originally $11.99+; available in five colors and in four sizes)
Up to 24% off an acrylic phone stand so you can make sure your phone has a designated spot on your desk and not get lost under all your papers and other clutter. Plus, it's even got space for you to still charge your phone while it's on the stand!
Promising review: "I have to say, this acrylic stand is absolutely fantastic! It's become the perfect addition to my office setup, and I can't get enough of it. I've been on a mission to give my desk a minimalist look, and this stand fits the bill perfectly." —Mayo-PaynePrice: $6.83+ (originally $8.99+; available in eight colors)
25% off a pack of 40 cable ties and 20 cable labels in case your collection of chargers and cords is starting to look like a full-on tumbleweed. The ties make them easy to store when not in use and the labels make it easy to know which is which so you don't accidentally unplug your computer when you meant to unplug your phone charger.
Promising review: "I have just started using these but so far, they're great. I am in the process of trying to reorganize everything. Like most folks, I have quite a number of cords and chargers for electronics which are not paired up. As I decide who goes where and marking them. I can also bundle the cords and fasten the Velcro strips to secure them to save space. There is a nice variety of sizes and colors and my fine-tip permanent marker makes it easy to write on the labels to identify them." —Alice WildermuthPrice: $19.49 (originally $25.99)
20% off a cable holder strip so you don't have to throw out your back trying to get your cord that fell behind your desk. Plus, they help keep your cables less tangled!
Promising review: "I have a million cables that I don't want to bend over to pick up and plug in. With this I just pull and plug. I still have one that I could use, which I will keep around for around the house. This one is nice and gummy and it does not budge when glued on. I also like that you can choose different colors." —SharonPrice: $5.24 (originally $6.55; available in four colors)
28% off an essential oil diffuser to help give your desk some nice relaxing spa vibes and let you enjoy the soothing smell of essential oils. This diffuser lights up with seven different colors and automatically shuts off when there's no more water left.
Promising review: "Love this little diffuser. It is small and easy to fit practically anywhere. It shuts off automatically when it is out of water. It is super quiet so won't disturb in a quiet room or office. The light is soothing. I like to keep it on the color changing mode but you can change it to just the warm yellow light as well. Super affordable and relaxing." —Cassie's Book ReviewsPrice: $11.54 (originally $15.99)
20% off a headphone holder you can stick onto the side of your desk or up against your wall so your fancy headphones can have a place of honor and not take up any unnecessary room on your desk.
Promising review: "I needed a way to store my headphones and I didn't want them to be in a case. I was considering getting a stand but I wanted to avoid crowding my already small desk. This holder sticks anywhere and does what it's supposed to! I got pink to match my headphones, it's really cute. I let it stick without anything on it for a day just in case, it's sturdy as ever." —KevinPrice: $7.99 (originally $9.99; available in three colors)
Up to 20% off a whiteboard calendar that makes it easy to keep track of all your important meetings, presentations, and PTO. It has a corkboard strip for posting any important notes, comes with push pins and dry-erase markers and erasers, *and* is even reversible, so you can have one side for work and one side for any of your after-work plans!
Promising review: "Finally an erase board that has hangers and not sticky pads. This board stays where it is put and does not fall off the wall every time you use it. The size is perfect for my home office." —MaudiemaePrice: $19.98+ (originally $24.99+: available in two sizes and two colors)

Prime Day Deal: The Apple Watch Series 10 Is My Favorite Smartwatch, and It's Nearly 25% Off Right Now

Amazon Prime Day deal: This sleek and functional smartwatch from Apple has an amazing deal during this week's Amazon Prime Day sales event. It's $380, or 24% off its regular price, and it's a fantastic blend between a smartwatch and a traditional wristwatch. As a product reviewer for CNET, I've tested dozens of smartwatches to help readers figure out which are the best ones to buy and which aren't worth the money. Every time I'm done with a review, I like to go bare-wristed for a few days to give myself a break. However, I noticed something unexpected after wrapping up my review of the Apple Watch Series 10: For the first time ever, I didn't want to take the gadget off. I've always been on the lookout for a hybrid watch that strikes the right balance between a traditional wristwatch and a smartwatch. Plenty of wearables over the years have promised just that, like the Withings Scanwatch range. The Series 10, which tops our list of the best smartwatches for 2025, strikes the ideal balance for me because it doesn't compromise on connectivity, fitness tracking features or the overall look. That's because of the LTPO 3 technology that lets the screen refresh at 1Hz and gives the Series 10 a ticking second hand on a few watch faces, even when the display isn't actively being used. It makes Apple's device feel like a regular watch when I'm not actively using it, which is different from any other smartwatch I've tested. I like being able to change up the look by switching between the Reflections watch face, with its sweeping "analog" second hand, and Activity Digital, with its digital seconds counter. I wish there were more watch faces that supported this ticking second hand. There is Flux, but I've found myself siding with Redditors who think it's kind of goofy. (If you've found a color combination that makes it feel less comical, let me know!) The ticking second hand isn't just an aesthetic choice, or for the times when I'm anxiously checking to make sure I'm not too early for my next meeting. It's also practical for folks in different professions, like health care workers who need to have a second hand even after the display times out. More than the ticking second hand, it's the display itself I was skeptical that the Series 10's wide-angle OLED display would make that much difference to the viewing experience. Apple says it's up to 40% brighter than earlier watch displays when you're looking at it off-axis. So of course I had to compare it to every other Apple Watch in my review cabinet, including the Series 9. When using my eyes alone I'm not able to quantify how much brighter it appears as a percentage, there's no question the Series 10 is easier to see and looks brighter than other Apple Watch models with the same watch face. The Series 10 doesn't have the same battery life or rugged construction, but I miss its display when I have to switch to the $799 Apple Watch Ultra 2. Apple Watch Series 10 specs Case sizes: 42mm, 46mm 42mm, 46mm Battery life: Up to 18 hours Up to 18 hours Screen: LTPO3 OLED Always-On Retina display LTPO3 OLED Always-On Retina display Refresh rate: 1Hz 1Hz Brightness: Up to 2,000 nits Up to 2,000 nits Water resistance: Up to 50m Best July Prime Day Deals 2025 CNET's team of shopping experts have explored thousands of deals on everything from TVs and outdoor furniture to phone accessories and everyday essentials so you can shop the best Prime Day deals in one place. See Now Why I never want to take it off It's not just the display that's made it hard for me to remove the Series 10 from my wrist. There's almost every health and fitness tracking feature I could want, from a range of cycling tools to sleep apnea notifications, which is part of the reason this watch tops our list of the best smartwatches for 2025. Then there's WatchOS 11, which brings helpful safety tools like Check In to my wrist, so I no longer have to manually send the "I'm home!" message to friends and family. If only it worked with recipients who don't use iMessage: I truly hope Apple will add compatibility for RCS messaging for this indispensable safety tool, just like FaceTime works on Android through a web link. I now understand what people mean when they say they feel naked when they leave their house without their phones. Except for me, it's a watch. The Apple Watch Series 10 is normally listed at $499, but you can get one for as much as $120 off right now, so it's quite the deal. Prices vary quite a big depending on case size, finish and band type, so be sure to click around to see all your options, and double-check the price of your selected configuration before finalizing your purchase. If you're looking for more tech deals, don't miss the best Apple deals during Prime Day.

EcoFlow Delta 2 Power Station with 15 Outputs Hits All-Time Low, Amazon Sparks Prime Sales

EcoFlow is one of the most premium names in portable power stations. While there's competition from brands like Jackery and Anker, EcoFlow's reputation for reliability and innovation is hard to match. These power stations have become essential for daily life whether you're camping in the summer, preparing for winter power outages or simply looking for a reliable backup at home. They are a trusted source of energy wherever you are and keep tools running smoothly when you need them most. With Prime Day, the EcoFlow Delta 2 power station is being sold at its all-time lowest price, but only for Prime members. It is currently on sale for just $449, down from its regular price of $699, which is a 36% savings. See at Amazon The EcoFlow Delta 2 is run by a powerful 1024Wh LiFePO4 battery which is famous for being long-lasting and secure. This battery chemistry sustains over 3,000 charge cycles so you can rely on it for years of everyday use. The station delivers up to 1800 watts of AC output which is enough to power almost any household appliance such as refrigerators and microwaves or laptops. With 15 various outputs, you can plug in everything you need. Charging the Delta 2 is noticeably quick: With a regular wall outlet, you can get from zero to 80% charge in only 50 minutes and hit full charge in 80 minutes. This rapid charging capability is a huge advantage if you need backup power during an emergency. The EcoFlow power station also takes solar charging (up to 500W input), so you can fill up with clean and renewable energy while camping or during an extended outage. While the unit itself provides 1kWh of storage, you can link extra batteries to bring the total up to 3kWh and provides you with even greater power for longer trips or larger families. The unit is built to be rugged with a hardy design that will withstand the demands of outdoor use but it's also compact and portable enough to take anywhere (weighing just 27 pounds). As a Prime member-exclusive offer, don't wait: pick up your EcoFlow Delta 2 while supplies last. See at Amazon

Prime Day Deal: I Love This Portable Charger for Travel and It's Nearly 40% Off Today

Amazon Prime day deal: The Anker 622 MagGo (5,000 mAh) is currently available with a 38% discount for Amazon's Prime Day. That drops the price to just $30 from its usual $48 list price, making this an excellent value for a major convenience. The charger comes in a variety of colors, and the current discount applies to every option. (Note that some Anker power banks were part of a recent recall. Be sure to claim your free replacement or gift card if you own one of the affected devices sold between 2016 and 2022.) I take my phone with me wherever I go, and I'm not afraid to admit that I've come to rely on it for just about every aspect of my life -- from getting news, weather and navigation help to staying in close contact with friends, family and co-workers. That means, like many people, I live in constant fear that my iPhone's battery will die on me right when I need it most. That is, I did until I found the Anker 622 MagGo, which CNET ranked as the best magnetic power bank with an integrated stand, and which I now take with me everywhere I go. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Here's why I've stuck with this little charger for so long Have you seen people walk around with a loop of cable hanging from their pocket to their phone? I've been there and hooked that loop on too many chairs and table corners. Never again. The ring of magnets in the Anker 622 MagGo aligns with the MagSafe magnets in every iPhone since the iPhone 12, latching securely and charging without wires. (The notable exception is the iPhone 16E, which does not offer MagSafe but does charge wirelessly using Qi technology. The Anker 622 MagGo will charge the iPhone 16E but won't latch to it magnetically.) It's also compact -- a little backpack feeding power to the phone while you're holding it or have it stashed in a pocket, even a jeans pocket if your fit isn't too tight. Those features alone would have convinced me but the Anker 622 also includes a fold-out back flap that props up my iPhone and can also hold the phone in its wide orientation for StandBy mode. With a power adapter such as the Anker Nano Pro (not included) and a charging cable, I've taught long classes with the phone angled to help me keep track of the time without checking my watch.

They're bulky. They require a cable. They charge wirelessly but don't include a magnet to keep the phone in place so it's hard to maintain that connection. There's always something. The Anker 622 is half an inch thick and snaps onto the back of my iPhone using the MagSafe-aligned magnets. I don't have to turn it on to start charging -- power flows as soon as the connection is made. Now, this isn't the highest-capacity (5,000 mAh) or fastest portable charger. That's fine. What I usually need is a way to eke out a few more hours of battery life on my iPhone. I can typically get a full top-off of my iPhone 15 Pro. The Anker 622 MagGo is smaller than an iPhone 15 Pro. Jeff Carlson/CNET Making a stand The other appealing feature of the Anker 622 MagGo for me is its built-in stand. Honestly, it doesn't look like it should work well: It's a fabric-covered set of plastic pieces that lie flush against the case, folds in two places and attaches to the back of the unit with a magnetic strip when extended. Yet I've had no problems with the stability of my iPhone 15 Pro or even the larger iPhone 15 Pro Max size. The stand on the Anker 622 MagGo slides down and adheres with a magnetic strip. Jeff Carlson/CNET This also lets me use standby mode by turning the iPhone to landscape orientation (the magnets are strong enough to hold the phone in place) when it's on a table or desk. Flip the iPhone horizontally to take advantage of StandBy mode while charging. Jeff Carlson/CNET Smart port placement matters The charger gets its juice from a single USB-C port, which is positioned on the edge of the case, not the bottom. That means you can replenish it while the stand is open -- many chargers' ports are stuck on the bottom. Having the USB-C port on the side keeps it accessible even when in its stand configuration. Jeff Carlson/CNET That USB-C port also acts as a charger for other devices when you plug in a cable, such as when your Apple Watch needs a boost. Charge other devices, such as an Apple Watch, from the Anker 622's USB-C port. Jeff Carlson/CNET How the Anker 622 MagGo compares to similar power banks Before getting the Anker 622 MagGo, I carried an Anker PowerCore III 10K Wireless, which doubles the battery capacity, includes a USB-A port and charges wirelessly but without magnets to hold the phone in place. That meant if I didn't use a cable, the phone and charger needed to be stable and level; too often I'd find the iPhone slid off its wireless perch and not charged. It's also larger and heavier. I still use it, but it's the power bank that goes into my carry-on suitcase as a backup charger. The Anker 622 MagGo is much smaller and lighter than my old reliable Anker PowerCore III 10K Wireless, which is now a solid backup. Jeff Carlson/CNET Since I've owned this Anker 622 MagGo, the company has released a few updated models. The $60 Anker 633 (currently on sale for $38) packs 10,000 mAh into a slightly thicker brick, includes a USB-A port in addition to USB-C and has a metal kickstand for resting the phone upright. You can also consider getting the chunkier Anker MagGo Power Bank that delivers 10,000 mAh and follows the same idea of compact magnetic charging and a convenient kickstand. Its main appeals are faster 15-watt magnetic charging and Qi2 compatibility, plus a small display on the side that reports the battery capacity and an estimate of the remaining battery in hours.
