Ikea Disrupts Market with $3.99 Sjöss 20W USB-C Charger
Ikea launches the Sjöss 20W USB-C charger for just $3.99. Compare it with Apple and Anker and see why this might be the best value charger of 2026.
Ikea just made the smartphone charger a true commodity. The Swedish furniture giant has released its most affordable Sjöss 20W USB-C charger yet, priced at a staggering $3.99. It's now available online and in physical stores across the US.
This new addition follows the 30W ($8) version launched in 2024 and the 65W ($35) dual-port option from earlier this year, completing Ikea's aggressive push into the tech accessory market.
Aggressive Pricing: Beating Apple and Anker
The $3.99 price tag is what sets the Sjöss apart. For comparison, Apple's official 20W USB-C Power Adapter retails for $19, while Anker's popular Nano Pro 20W is priced at $11.99. While similar in function, the price gap makes Ikea's offering nearly five times cheaper than Apple's.
| Product | Power | Price | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ikea Sjöss | 20W | $3.99 | Unbeatable price |
| Apple Official | 20W | $19.00 | Brand ecosystem |
| Anker Nano Pro | 20W | $11.99 | Compact size |
The Size and Weight Trade-off
Economy comes with compromises in portability. Ikea's charger is notably larger than its rivals and is about 26 grams heavier than the Anker Nano Pro. It's also only available in one color—white. For travelers who prioritize saving every gram of space, the more expensive compact chargers might still be the better choice.
