Be careful. on USB hubs

I bought this USB hub because of all the reviews and Anker is pretty big on Revain. I bought this for work, after two days this crap melted. Thank goodness it didn't damage my work computer. There is no quality control, this hub was probably not properly grounded. I have connected a peripheral device. I will never buy an Anker product again. I will return to better known brands and pay extra money. EDIT: They contacted me immediately and really looked into the issue. They requested the faulty…

Failed Anker Best in Computer Accessories & Peripherals

I received my Anker 4 port USB hub today and am very disappointed. I use it to connect a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard. The 2 USB jacks I have connect flawlessly to my laptop. However, when I try to connect my USB drives to the Anker Hub, I cannot connect the USB drives at all. It took me 10 minutes to connect a USB wireless mouse to the hub. The hub just looks cheaply made. I've tried plugging in a few other USBs and they all have trouble connecting. Also, the USB connector on the…

Velcro 1: USB port 0

I used velcro to attach it to the back of the Surface Pro. When I first tried to take it off (need to move the flash drive), it broke. Notice I didn't pull him by the string, I pinched his sides and picked him up. The bad thing is I can't even get it back. Maybe it was bad luck as the other reviews are good but I regret buying this one. Although it was cheap, I could have spent that money on a bluetooth mouse or something.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Almost never

Prevents my Mac Mini from using its working wireless connection. The internet is dead to me. Unplug your Anker device and it will buzz beautifully. It doesn't matter if Anker is placed on top of the Mac or as far away as the cable will allow. It terminates the wireless connection every time. I will return to Revain. It's also a particularly thin block of plastic, but I reckon I can get that for only $10.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • No insurance

UPDATE UNDER ORIGINAL VERIFICATION: Product is not working properly. If the port is not properly connected, it will shut down! With a light touch or an impact, it turns off instantly! I have no other issues with my laptop's USB ports when using them with another device. This hub is going in the trash as it cannot be returned :(UPDATE: I can't tell how far Anker went to make sure I had a working product! They contacted me directly after I posted this review .and asked if they could I arrange a…

Pros
  • Extra tough: Precision engineering ensures heat resistance and incredible durability.
Cons
  • Sad Hardware

Be careful with the power draw: Check out this review

The device is compact, very light and durable. did; supports total 900mA, which can provide USB 3.0 port; If you have USB 2.0 ports, make sure the sum of all devices connected to this hub is 500mA or less; There is a table listing some common devices, but you can check how much current a device is drawing by opening: Control Panel --> Device Manager --> Universal Serial Bus Controllers --> Select a port or Hub from --> Select from the Food tab". You may have to select a few before…

Pros
  • Big upgrade: Turn one of your computer's USB ports into four. (This hub is not designed to charge devices.)
Cons
  • Upgradeable

I like this hub and I like Anker products. However, I have to deduct 1 star for model differences which (as far as I can see) are not listed or obvious in their pictures. The hub model that comes with the power supply is double the price - the model with the power supply and is NOT the same as the powered model. Non-powered adapter models do NOT have an additional power port that you can use to power the hub (to run devices like USB hard drives, scanners, etc.). Again, this omission is not…

Pros
  • SuperSpeed Data: Sync data at lightning speed at up to 5 Gbps - fast enough to transfer an HD movie in seconds.
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

This hub completely cuts the WiFi connection and degrades the quality of the Bluetooth connection. I bought 2 of these for different computers (Apple Mac Minis) and they both caused the same glitch on both computers. I'm a professor of electrical engineering at a major university and I'm convinced that the problem is caused solely by connecting these devices to any computer of this type. I'm a Revain PRIME customer and I expect Revain to get this product (offered through PRIME) right - we'll…
