Good product with value

It does exactly what it promises. The black circuit board is sufficient in most cases, and the addition of two Type-C ports is welcome. The only issue I had is the lack of USB power delivery, which is mentioned somewhere on the product page, although it's not immediately obvious. This means you can't charge your phone or connect your Google Home Mini to the card (the latter I did without realizing it). Your mileage may vary as it looks like it could easily charge a Bose Bluetooth speaker, but adding a Google Home Mini to the mix caused my computer to go to sleep and not wake up. After spending an hour on the phone with Revain's customers and tech support, I finally figured out what could be the cause and uninstalled the device, which has so far resolved the issue. Another criticism I have of the product is the advertised 'lifetime guarantee' which seems dubious. at best, since YEELIYA has no website or contact information on the product page or in the user manual. The warranty is obviously worthless without a way to contact the company and I highly doubt Revain would be willing to offer a third party warranty, especially a lifetime warranty. The only guarantee you will have is 30 days with Revain and that's it.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Long delivery time
