Awful
This is such a weird product. It is awful because... ... To get power to it, it can be plugged in the wall outlet and USB. If you don't use the USB cord, it just dangles around. Confusing because you forget what it goes to. ... The outlet cord gets plugged into the device. It is packaged separately and that was a hint that it wasn't compatible. The part that plugs into the device is too long so it is half way exposed. ... It has an awful bright blue light that is impossible to conceal. It only gets brighter the more switches you turn on. It lights up the entire room at night. ... It doesn't sit flat. It's always turning and flopping around so the cords get unplugged. You think you're charging something because you didn't realize it came out. I rarely return products. On this rare occasion I'm unable to because the 1 month return window is up. I bought two of these things! Thanks a lot people, for making a waste of money. Into the landfill it goes. What's worse is that I paid to throw them away.

    Works great. The hub being powered has even helped with a disconnection issue i was having with one device.

    You can power and charge USB devices but don't bother using it for data. Ordered 2 and both would disconnect and corrupted data on USB drives.

    Loving it. It did take longer then I hadn't aloud for. Was surprised when it got here I had to plug it it in AND use a separate port for the 7 USB ports to use. All and all, a good buy.

    bad, really bad.
    If you want something that blinks at you blue lights this is the perfect device for you! If you want something that charges your devices it doesn't work at all. Because I know no one that wants a device that blinks blue eyes on you, I would say don't buy this junk.

    USB Power Strip
    This is awesome. Now I can charge my phone and power all my USB knickknacks on my desk. I like he on/off switches, and the bright blue lights will remind me to turn them off.

    This powered usb hub is junk. I took it out of the package and plugged it into my power strip. When I unplugged it, one of the prongs stayed in the outlet and pulled a wire out of the plastic casing, rendering the hub useless. I never got to use it. I threw away a 10 dollar bill.

    Works well. The bar is approximately 6 1/2" x 1 1/2 x 1 ", so it doesn't take up much space. I personally don't like the power-on indicator lights. They are bright blue lights, so I have to either turn it away from me or cover it. However, it is easy to tell whether the port is on or off. Quality is good.

    Love It Wont Leave It
    This item has taken convenience to a whole new level. I finally can have all my gidgets and gazmos plugged in and ready to go instead of swapping out this usb for that one. One thing I want to highlight here is that because this is plugged into the wall as well as a usb port it continues to charge. The ease of being able to turn each port on and off as needed is bar none the best feature offered. A+++

    Confused...
    It may be a good product, that remains to be seen. It how however came with no instructions. It did have a nice message on the plastic bag say that my satisfaction was assured, please contact them if you have any problem. However there was no phone number or web site to contact them. I have not turned up any info on Insten.

    Very nice product.
    Works great! Love the switches and neat blue indicator lights. Only real drawback is how close the ports are. Wider devices block ports on each side. Suggest extension cables for such devices. Think I will order the usb 3 version as well.
