Great product which replaced another charging station that failed. It is so convenient and provides 8 ports compared to the 4 on my previous one. It has a small footprint and takes up very little space on my desktop and lays flat instead of standing up. I especially like the visual display which tells me how fast charging is going and approximately how close to full charge the item is. This is for each one of the USB connections so i can see the progress of all charging with a simple glance. It's not the cheapest charging station but I feel worth every penny due to the added features. Oh, and delivery as usual from Amazon was amazing, overnight! Read more
Works good, used it shop to charge lights for working on vehicles since can charge multiple ones at time. Since it small and compact can easily throw in toolbox when not using and just plug in wall outlet when needed charge 6 lights so far without a problem or even phone when needed. Read more
This is the perfect device to charge up to 8 USB devices at a time, as long as you realize that this is not a "fast charger" for a specific brand of phone / tablet / laptop. It provides 5V at up to 1.2A per port, depending on how much each device draws per port. In other words, "classic" USB with support for higher current. There are newer standards that allow some devices to request a higher charging voltage and/or current. If you're trying to charge one of those with this device, you'd likely be disappointed. But it does what it is advertised to do very well. I mostly use it to charge the batteries in several dozen handheld two-way radios - I discovered that the "Off" click on the radio volume knob is just a suggestion to the radio and doesn't actually cut the power off, so the batteries run down in storage. This device is much better than a row of individual chargers. I've also used it to "recover" some other devices that didn't seem to be charging on their regular chargers. For example, I have a Garmin InReach Mini. When connected to a charger or a PC, its display should light up and show an icon of a battery charging. No response with any other charger here. I connected it to this charger and immediately saw on the charger's display that it was charging, even though the display on the Garmin was blank. After leaving it connected to the charger overnight, the Garmin was healthy again. The other chargers probably also would have charged it, but since they didn't have displays, I couldn't tell. I've used Velcro to mount one of these (I've bought four of them since 2020) inside a dresser's cabinet section. That way it, the cables, and the devices being charged can all be out of sight and not lighting up the bedroom at night or having a dangling bunch of cables visible in the room. That's the good points. There are some things that could be improved in a future model: 1) No real provision for mounting the device. I used Velcro. Having some keyhole slots on the back would be useful. 2) An on/off switch on the device. The one in my dresser that's been powered on for four years has had it's display become dimmer over time, and it is drawing some power even when it's not being used. 3) Having the ability to flip the display upside down. The top of the display is on the side adjacent to the ports. If you want to use the unit with the cables facing toward you, the display is upside down. 4) The device comes with four pre-attached feet. They're pretty small and do a good job of keeping the device from sliding around on smooth surfaces, but don't work as well on surfaces like plywood. Bigger feet would help with this, as well as lifting the unit up to help with cooling when it's busy charging a bunch of devices. Read more
I've purchased three of these for use throughout our home. Two are for nightstand charging boxes for a large variety of handheld video game consoles and smartphones (including USB-C PD devices), and the third is used to charge seven video game controllers. I've been very happy with all three. The ports work reliably, and the ability to monitor the charging of various gadgets and accessories is useful for determining when a lithium battery is failing. I'll get more of these as I need them, for sure. Read more
This charging hub works really well for powering multiple devices at once. It has 8 USB ports, and the charging ability is strong—my phone, tablet, and Bluetooth devices all juice up quickly with no issues. The cord is a standard wall plug and it’s long enough to comfortably reach from my outlet to my dresser, which is perfect for my setup. It’s also compact, so it doesn’t take up too much space, and the design makes it easy to keep all my devices connected in one place. Everything works as expected and feels reliable. My only complaint is that there’s no USB-C port. In this day and age, that would’ve made it perfect. But even without it, it’s still a very useful and well-made charging station. Read more
We use this all the time when we travel as a family. When we stay at a hotel or AirBnB, I can set this up with cords within a minute, and then everyone in the family can hook up their phone, drone battery, watch, or whatever else they need. It's powerful, fast, and the 8 ports just do the trick (we could always use more). I like the display, too, so we can see the power draw. We've had this for over a year without issue. Great unit!
