Powered USB Hub,VEMONT 7 ports SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Hub with Power Supply

Only a geek can use so many USB Ports! I am such a geek and have only one spare. (Printers, portable keyboards, hard drives, etc., seem to eat them). It charges my phone, even with my laptop turned off. Great USB connectivity, I appreciate the individual 'on off' push buttons and LEDs. Looks great, with it being a nice compact size. I've had no issues with compatibility, Bluetooth, HDDs, or printers. Any and everything works great. I highly recommend this for all of those who keep going, "How the hell have I run out of sockets??!!!"

Great little device. I opted for a powered hub because everything seems to be getting power hungry these days! Nace, weighty and robust item. No temptation to be flipped about by stiff leads etc. Nice individual switches if you have lights or fans connected (for example). Much better than low powered, lighter item I replaced. Glad I upgraded to something that doesn't want to dance about when I plug or unplug and I know will deliver for year to come. Heartily recommend.

The hub works well under standard load, I've tested with all ports being used at once with mechanical devices (like HDDs and ODDs) and it has no issues. The power cable could be longer and the lack of a light toggle is annoying, but they're easy enough to cover with tape.

Works a treat in win 11

Pros: 1) The design is pretty good with all the 7 ports lined up after each other with the switch right next to them. 2 )The only writing this has is the brand and the model. 3) The power adaptor has a nice long cable which can easily reach from under a table. It is also a DC adaptor so it can be replaceable. 4) The LED indicators are nice to have as it shows if the USB port is on or off. 5) The switches are nice and springy you can easily tell if you have it on or off, even without the LED. 6) The addition of the wall mounting hole is nice to have as well since it gives you the option to mount it against the wall with a nail through the hole. 7) The cable is not too long or too short. It is the right length but it will not easily reach a PC under the table. Cons: 1) The switches are kind of awkward to turn on/off as they are very narrow and you have to bend your finger to reach them well. Other than the minor con, I would recommend this to people who have a lot of USB peripherals and is a usual worker with USB's.

Repacement for older 7 port USB hub (older hub malfunctioned). This one appears to be be a better quality product.

It always felt flimsy build but to be honest it seemed good value given it's powered and plenty of ports. I have only deployed two ports a few times in the 3 months I have had it. And the plugs stayed in (no out and in). Had worked fine with new focusrite interface but suddenly the focusrite is not recognised (or my second interface). No other changes made to the setup. Tried the obvious things and checked direct usb connection was fine. I know there is a good argument for keeping the interface direct but for everyday convenience (and individual switching) this really should be working. Rebooting the computer seems to wake it up but I can't do that every time on the whim of the hub. I have returned under warranty and will spend more on a very quality replacement.

It arrived in good time, well packaged and as described. Plugged it in, plugged usb devices in, they worked, happy days. HOWEVER After less than a year the unit stopped working and had to be replaced.
