Having multiple devices to recharge, and often simultaneously (tablet, phone, music player etc ...), I must admit that this is really very convenient: it is possible to charge 5 devices simultaneously!
(For me, it is not uncommon to have to charge 3 devices simultaneously)
It is placed on my desk, plugged in, and I can easily charge my devices in having to turn on my computer (recharge via USB) or stoop to connect to a power strip (using the chargers apparatus).
The charger is compact in size, of good quality plastic, which will allow me to lighten my luggage hanging my future trips.
The front USB ports with mentions of brand names (beware of allergic competing brands :-)), which correspond to different amperages, to optimize load times.
Note that I tested an English version (so I had to use an AC adapter). By testing 5 devices simultaneously (which rarely happen to me in real conditions) I had the impression that the load time was slightly a little longer than if I had used the chargers devices in question.
Maybe is it the number or maybe it's related to my adapter ... but the difference was not great.
In conclusion, I recommend this product to those who are often forced to juggle multiple chargers and would like to ease their travel bag.
