Revainrating 1 out of 5

Worked 2 days then I had serious power problems threatening to damage my equipment

new Macbook Pro. (2019), SSL 2+ audio interface and two Samsung monitors. Day 3: My MacBook Pro stopped working and charging through this dock. My SSL audio interface also started to fail. Day 4: I sent it back for a full refund. 2: The $139 price I charged for this device went from $119 to $134 within 10 minutes of looking at it. The day after I ordered it was listed again for $119. It smelled of bait and rod, I also believe that any price for a box of ports is too high - even compared to Apple products. Why did I still buy it? Thought it was a quality product that would last and was willing to try it. Lesson learned. I'm an EE and I know that power issues in docking stations can damage laptops, especially the ports and other peripherals they're attached to. I'm now happy to use two Apple multiports to connect my two monitors, a laptop charging cable, and an audio interface (connected to the Apple multiport via a powered USB hub that has worked fine for the last year) with the operate monitors. Works well, no longer uses my laptop ports, better brand/reputation and price. UPDATE 14.04. I have received 9 emails from this provider in the last month since posting my review. I haven't replied to them, but they keep offering me gift certificates and mentioning "free product trials" if I delete my review. After receiving 9 emails in the last 4 weeks I am considering this harassment and have reported it to Revane. I do not recommend doing business with this seller for any product.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
