Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let me start this out by saying I rarely review, I purchase a lot, and I fuss about the appearance and performance of my workstation more than most. I was a little wary paying ~$20 for a usb hub with only 4 ports. However, I figured compared to the $5-10 dollar options and the news about faulty USB C stuff, I had better not skimp on accessories made in China. This showed up in a quality-feeling recycled cardboard box, opening it has a little card with a sun and happy statement. I loved this (I'm an Oregonian, and like recycling and wish we had more sun). The device feels solid. The Aluminum Hub seems well built, the felt bottom is great for my glass desk, and it has a rubber middle to ensure it wont move around on the clean surface. The green power light is lit, and I wish I could turn this off, as my desk has nothing green to match it. The ANKER logo comes off with a little bit of rubbing alcohol and looks fantastic after removed (Black aluminum and the blue USB 3.0 ports). This also came with velco that fits perfectly under the device and does not hang over! This is very uncommon in my experience as most devices have some odd shaped piece thrown into the box, or none at all. They clearly know their product and anyone who cares about the way their desk looks will want to have some way of securing things in place. I have one gripe, and that the cord is not replaceable. It is built into the housing and a usb extension cord would be required to reach a distance. I would give 4 stars, but the happy card that was in the box bumped it to 5. Anker was not a company I knew about, but now I will start my shopping with them for my accessories in the future.
