What is a good powered USB Hub?

Code-E » Wed Jun 29, 2016 1:56 am

Hey there,

I'm pretty new to this, but I have a few devices I'm running.
But they're all plugged into a power strip, which is getting annoying when I want to plug something else into it.

So I've been on the hunt for a decent USB Hub, I've had my eye on the Amazon 7-port one:

(I tried to hide the URL to make it neater, but couldn't find that option)

But I'd just like to know what everyone else has invested in.

Thanks!

A lot of tech slug followers have been talking about Anker. They have some really nice stuff and I assume coming from the groups experience they are good quality. I guess there are perks to shopping through Anker. I still have yet to purchase, but will soon.

I've heard the talk about Anker also, but they seem to fall on the expensive side. I'm, unfortunately, on a bit of a budget.

I may just get the Amazon one and see if it's any good

Hey! I have been using QTY 2 of the Zookki brand 6 port USB chargers for my 12 phones. I have had absolutely no issues at all in the 2 months I have been using them. For $10.99 I was a little reserved but with 475 4.5 star reviews on Amazon. Amazing bang for the buck.

This is the one I use now, got it for 25 bucks at a garage sale, pretty expensive on Amazon

I would advise away from using a USB Hub. Instead get a USB Charging Hub. USB Hubs that connect into computers USB ports. Due to the use of being able to plug into computers the USB ports commonly have low Amp outputs. If you are on a budget I'd check out ebay for USB Charging Hubs / Docks / Stations.
