Ikea’s new $4 USB-C charger is cheaper than Apple’s and Anker’s

Ikea has released the most affordable version of its Sjöss USB-C chargers yet. Following an $8 30W version that launched in 2024 and a $35 65W option that debuted earlier this year, the new 20W Sjöss is now available online and through many of Ikea’s physical US stores for just $3.99.

That’s considerably cheaper than Apple’s $19 20W USB-C Power Adapter while being comparable in size, and cheaper than Anker’s $11.99 Nano Pro 20W USB-C charger. However, Ikea’s new $4 charger is much larger than Anker’s, and is about 26 grams heavier. If you’re a traveler trying to pack as light as possible, Anker’s may be the better choice. If you’re a traveler who wants to feel less guilty about forgetting their charger in a hotel room, Ikea’s is cheap to replace.

The 20W Sjöss doesn’t come with a USB-C cable and it’s only available in one light green color option. But Ikea includes a set of 6 colored stickers so you can personalize and differentiate yours if you end up buying a bunch for your family to use around the house.
