Review on πŸ’» Efficiently Expand Your USB Connections with the Amazon Basics 7 Port USB 2.0 Hub Tower by Adam Bates

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Some design flaws are good for computer accessories and peripherals

I bought this adapter because I need one power adapter for multiple devices that I charge overnight. Now I just got it. I think it will work as needed, but the reason I'm writing this review right away is that two things bother me. First, it's a red LED. I thought it should turn green once connected. Makes sense right? Or just make it green, and when it's not powered, leave it off. I can live with that, but bad design. Second, the bottom plate is grooved upwards, but the bottom plate is hard plastic. I think it should have a rubber surface on the bottom or a rubber sticker to give consumers a choice. I preview as it glides across the smooth wooden surface of my desk. It seems to me that most consumers would place it on a flat, smooth surface. Well I need to fix this, but bad design again. It was a special Revain product. I'm just saying.

Pros
  • Many will do
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
