I'm always suspicious of USB power hubs that make 'outlandish' claims. We see big numbers all over products at unlikely prices - 2TB microSD cards for £8 (it's not), 9-million lumen lights for £30 (no it doesn't), 380dB motorbike horns (almost double the point where a sound wave becomes a shock wave). I'm a tech nerd, so I'm wildly aware of the lengths that sellers will go to sell items that nowhere near match their claims.You can imagine my skepticism when I saw this product claiming 480W of total output and 10 total ports. First of all, let me say that I'm surprised to even find a hub with this many USB-C ports, let alone the claimed power output, so when you price it at the ~£46 I bought it for (thanks to discounts).My problem has always been the sheer number of devices that want to draw from USB power, with most of them being centered around smart-home.For example, just within arms reach, I've got a smart-infrared controller, a mm-wave smart presense sensor, a smart speaker, a wireless game controller, a pair of wireless headphones, a pair of wireless earbuds in a charging case, a wireless mic in a charging case, an iPad, and a laptop. There's numerous other devices beyond arms reach that also want charging or a constant power source. It's chaos.Until recently, I sort of balanced around this by connecting some devices to a USB hub connected to my PC (risky due to their power output limits), and others connected to a 4-port mains USB hub, but if I happen to need to charge a lot of things, it was a juggling act.No more. I bought one of these out of curiosity, and because the reviews seemed positive. I've been burned by a 'cheap' USB charger hub in the past (where it stopped charging anything after only a few weeks), so when I find ones I like, I stick with them for as long as I can. This charger hub seems to do just the job for me. It's got plenty of ports, meaning I don't need to juggle devices to charge or risk trying to draw too much power out of my PC's poor USB ports.A few years ago, I would have said such a device was impossible. Alas, it's only very recently that USB-C PD (power-deliver) revision 3.1 devices have started to hit the market. This allows up to 240W power over USB-C, which in turn means that controllers capable of splitting this power up amongst multiple ports is possible.On the surface, it still seems too good to be true, and I am still wary of it - it's a lot of power, and I'm very cautious to not become a house-fire statistic.I haven't done or seen a teardown of this charger, but judging by the silk-screen print on the front, it seems like they're perhaps using multiple power controllers - 4 of the USB-C ports are grouped together, while the other 6 ports are also grouped together. It seems feasible to me that those first-4 are using a 240W controller, and then the other 6 are using another independent 240W controller. However, again, I haven't done or seen a teardown of this device, so I'm just making an educated guess.The build quality seems solid, but I know that it's very easy to make a product that looks good but falls apart. I'll update this review if the device fails within the near future.Allow me to close by saying this: Although I'm skeptical and wary of this charger, I decided to buy a second one because having so many ports does solve a lot of problems.

Out the box it wasn't too heavy yet not too light as to give the impression it was cheap. Its made a reasonable quality plastic find for indoor use. It delivers power as stated and does not get very hot at all. If you want to charge everything in one location and do away form individual plug adaptors, this is the way to go, just get the higher-end cables to cope with the speeds this can achieve.

It does what it says but I was surprised to find it doesn’t have any grounding pin on the charging station itself I could feel some sort of static electricity buzzing when touching my laptop when I used it and the most I could charge is 9 devices.

Really solid charger! Charges my Thinkpad, iPhone, and a bunch of other stuff all at once with no issues. Super fast, doesn’t overheat, and the 1.5m cord is a nice touch. Wish it came with more cables, but for the price, it’s a great buy.

Does exactly what it is advertised to do.

Very pleased with it. I replaced two individual low powered docks with it. What I like is that I get the power as advertised with none of the annoying glitches that you get when plugging other items in to charge it. It is so compact that I can fit it right in behind my gaming mini PC.It is a decent construction and has a sleek design and doesn't run hot. I use it mostly to charge my iPhone, keyboard, mouse and smart ring, and it charges them quickly. Very pleased with it.

Had a minor issue. Customer Service sorted promptly. Great piece of equipment

It's a good charger, great for travel.100W is a bit… temperamental. I've seen 65, 87 and 100 output from 100W capable ports.I am grateful for number of ports.
