Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Only USB 1.1 with some attachments
Well, yes, it gives you four USBs from one. But like other reviewers I found the slow transfer speeds with camera, wireless stick and mp3 player annoying - that little message that comes up saying 'this attachment could work much faster...' can really get you down.

I guess the key is to use it for things where speed is not crucial and leave the original USB ports for things that need speed.

But you can buy better.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - USB simplicity
Easy to use. Economic price. Just follow instructions and off you go! Extra USB connections as quick as a wink. Can't speak for other operating systems, but works fine with Windows XP.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Does the Job!!
Ordered a 4 port USB hub to connect web cam, printer and wireless keyboard. So far so good. Product does what it says!!!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - At this price you can't go wrong
It does what it says it will do, all I did was plug it in to the UBS with nothing attached and once the computer had recognised it, it worked first time. I have had no problems with it and will probably buy another one. Don't know if it makes a difference but I tend to have things I don't use regularly or which I don't use simultaneously on the hub, eg scanner, camera, pda, and the rest, ie. printer and broadband router plugged in on different USB's - why make life complicated for the PC


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very Useful
Its very useful!!!!!
only 1 problem is that if you intend on using many high powered things such as webcams etc then you will need a power adaptor for the usb hub. Sadly i havn't been able to find the power adaptor but i now have a new PC with enough usb ports anway :)
