So far so good!

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2013

Verified Purchase

I was looking for a hub for my desktop and what I found was really bulky or outdated looking. The nicer ones also seem to be really expensive so I was glad to have stumbled onto this Belkin hub. I really liked the look and the price was also pretty reasonable. Even though it was intended for travel, I decided to purchase this anyway after reading the reviews and am glad I did.

Pros:
- Simple and Clean Design
- Slim/Light
- Feels Fairly Sturdy
- Easily Portable (Good for Travel/Laptop Use)
- Easy to Use
- Cable fits into the hub itself when not in use. This is great if you don't like having extra cables lying around or getting caught it other cables when not using the item. I guess this also makes it easy to store!
- Works great: no problems or disconnections even when using WiFi via a separate adapter that is plugged into the hub or when I have multiple slots in use!

Neutral:
- Reasonable price. I wish it cost a little less but since it works great so far, I don't mind.

Cons:
- Cable is on the really really short side so when it's plugged in to my desktop, it literally hangs. I doubt the weight and the potentially added weight of extra USBs is good for this so I taped the hub to my desktop. At least this way it looks better and it isn't hanging there willy-nilly. This shouldn't be much of a concern if purchasing for a laptop though.

So yes, so far so good! I've been using the item for a little over a week now and there has been no problems whatsoever. If you're looking for an USB hub, I would definitely recommend this one (whether for travel or not). And if anything happens, I will edit this review to let everyone know. :)

Extremely short cable!

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2012

There is no place in the Amazon description explaining that the cable that plugs the hub to your PC is only 2 inches long...
I know that the product is called Travel Hub, but how was I supposed to understand that the cable is so short?
Now, it will be a good thing for traveling, but as for myself, I will now need to add USB extension cable.

Except of this, the hub looks and feels very good.

The one I bought before this broke after 3 months of sitting in one place, but this one hasn't failed me yet. Everything works, and works well.

I bought this one instead of a generic one because I trusted Belkin as a good brand. The hub works perfectly well with my hard drive. Nevertheless, as soon as I plug anything else, the hard drive gets ejected. I tried with my three hard drives and attained the same result. If I plug small devices (iPhone, Flash Drive, memory reader) it works just fine, but it just doesn't have enough power to sustain a hardrive, what makes it useless since that was the purpose why I got it, to do my backups as a use other devices... Very disappointed!

*Much* better than generics - size and self stowing cable make it ideal for travel

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2011

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

Summary - the adage "you get what you pay for" also applies to USB hubs. Excellent travel hub with self stowing cable.

So I had a couple of cheaper USB hubs - a no name I go from Meritline, another I got for free from Best Buy at the holidays (it was part of a gift card package) They worked for most things but there were definitely things they didn't like - the one from BB didn't recognize my Garmin Forerunner GPS while neither would work with the PS2/USB adapter I use for my ergonomic keyboard PS2 Keyboard To USB Adapter

Since I use the hub as a defacto docking station for my desktop, it was a real pain to have to plug and unplug the devices all the time. I was thinking it was just the funky devices but this hub had no issue with either the keyboard adapter or the Garmin.

Whew! I'm glad that's solved!!!

The other nice thing about this is that it's very compact and the USB cable tucks into the body of the hub itself - ideal for traveling since it can't tangle onto anything. Also there are three ports on the long side then one on the short side - ideal for the USB devices like that PS/2 adapter - that take up a lot of real estate

If you have questions, comments, or if you've found this helpful, please let me know!

Outstanding portable USB hub

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2011

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

I was delighted to see this 4-port hub offered as part of the Vine Program. Because one of my USB ports is now taken up with taken up a Wi-fi modem, I've been a bit short on ports. I had tried a couple of other multi-port hubs but had been very unhappy with the quality of each. But I absolutely loved this one. It has a short cable that enables it to lie easily beside the laptop. As an experiment I attached to the hub a printer, an external hard drive, a camcorder, and a Blu-ray player and was able to run all of them with no degradation of performance in any.

I love how portable this hub is. It is extremely compact and weighs practically nothing. I have a small group of laptop accessories that I carry in my backpack. I don't keep many things in it, but this has made the short list and I now carry it with me at all time.

If you have a laptop and find yourself short of USB ports, or if you have a desktop and could use a few more, this could be the perfect solution. I have both a laptop and a netbook and I'm going to buy a second one to make sure I have one for both. Just a great product.

Short cord causes issues

Reviewed in Canada on December 28, 2015

This Belkin hub is an okay option for expanding your USB options, but be aware that it has a VERY short USB tether which causes the unit to not lay flat, and rather flop around your desk. It is not a 3.0 either, so it is a slower option and your newer computer will continuously remind you that your device could run faster if you attach it directly to a computer hub. I use it only in a true emergency.

Garbage!

This was another waste of my money and time. It did not work for the purpose so; I had to buy one from my local Staples store for a little more money but it works fine.

Handy to have on a cruise

Reviewed in Canada on August 18, 2012

These work as mentioned. I would prefer a little longer patch cord but I see it would be difficult. However, that said, it is handy on a cruise ship when you are working in small areas and need to plug in a few USB items to charge their systems.
