Overall, it's a good product. it does what it says on the box. Pros: * Individual switches are nice. Cons: * Uses a propriety USB cord, so if one loses the supplied cord, you may have troubles finding another. * I find the cord to be a little short (if one has an under desk mounted CPU). An extra 30 cm would have been perfect. Further Thoughts: * I suspect the power being supplied from the sockets at the opposite end from power/USB inputs supply less power than the nearer sockets, as they don't charge my headphones. I haven't tested this theory, however.

I bought this because I wanted a powered hub that I could leave permanently connected to my PC. Unfortunately because of the way that is designed, it's not advisable to use it that way. The USB power port is directly connected to the power pins on the USB sockets, so not only is there no power protection, it feeds power back up to the PC through the data connection. This is contrary to the USB specification and is a risk to your PC. If your PC is off but the hub is powered it's backfeeding current into your PC USB port, which can damage it. As an unpowered hub, it suffices, but seven devices usually need more power than a single host port can provide. Ok for the price if you know what you're getting.

There are similar cheaper items, but this USB hub is the best! It comes with an Australian plug which has 2 powered USB slots. One powered USB slot can be used for charging items like a phone, camera or tablet, and the other powered USB slot that goes to the 7 Port Hub. This is fantastic device and does exactly what I want for a great price! Couldn't be happier! A brilliant device that makes my computing life so much better!

Functional, handy with individual switches. Some ports only seemed to work with AC adaptor plugged in. AC adaptor somewhat underpowered, but better than nothing. Speed tested on USB 3.0 ports and was capable of full speed. Good unit for the price.

Absolutely love it - I have a work place provided lap top with not enough USB ports for all the essentials - now can have mouse, printer, USBs and charge phone at same time. Don't have to unplug things and you can turn off what is not required or in use too.
