Pros: I Luv this Product, after Fighting USB Slot with my Family,
i have nothing to complain about fighting over USB Slot,
This is worth buying it,

Cons: i dont see the cons,
besides, were the cons at? 8)

Overall Review: i got another 1, in case its needed for my PS3, if "NYKO - Media Hub" only 4 USB isn't enough

Pros: I bought this because my laptop only has two usb ports and I needed more. With some adhesive strips I attached it to the back of the monitor and the short cord reached the usb port on the back of the laptop. Now I have a DoubleSight monitor, camera, laptop cooler, scanner/printer and mouse plugged in. This hub might be small but it does it's job very well.

Cons: None

Pros: Small, compact

Cons: Not durable

Overall Review: I purchased 4 of these for my business computers August of 2012. At the time of this posting (June 2013) I have 1 that is still working. Buy at your own risk.

Pros: Works as they should. No problems so far. Loose 1 port then gain 4=net gain of 3.

Cons: Dongle cord is really, really short. Should have easily been an inch or so longer.

Overall Review: Had a couple of these for several months and still working OK. When you think about it though there really isn't anything to go wrong in the innards of these things so why should they ever fail?

Pros: I use this for my work laptop that has only one USB port. It has worked flawlessly since purchase ~ 6 months ago.

Cons: None

Pros: Adds more ports to my notebook

Cons: Is a little touchey like others said, I don't move mine around much but if you do you might d/c the devices, once its set up just leave it there and its fine

Pros: sturdy, good connection to W7 64 bit, 2 printers + 1 old scanner, all fast speeds.

Cons: none

Pros: Compact, stores usb cable that connects hub to computer, survived my work bag from over a month.

Cons: Cable is not very long, and can not be detached/replaced with longer cable, have to use an extension if you need the hub located more than 4 inches from the usb port.

Pros: It's a usb hub.

Cons: Does not like be doused with extremely hot air over long periods of stress.

Overall Review: I bought this usb hub with my new mouse. It worked great until I played too long with the hub sitting under my laptops main vent. Pretty sure it cooked the insides. Worked great, though.

Pros: works as intended, cheap, no issues

Cons: none

Overall Review: i wish the main cord was about 2" longer, just so it isnt completely hanging, should you have it hooked up to a desktop, prolly works wonders on a laptop. no complaints!!

Pros: Small, compact, fast.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Very simple little device that does exactly what it is advertised to do. Cant complain about it at all, would definately buy again. Great buy.

Pros: Worked nice while it worked.

Cons: Only lasted about two weeks before burning out.

Manufacturer Response:

Thank you for choosing IOGEAR and we apologize for your experience. Please email us with a phone number to contact you at support@iogear.com. We will be more than happy to contact you with quality service and process an RMA. Once again, thank you for choosing IOGEAR.

Pros: When it works, it's a great product
If you have a laptop and you want 4 extra 2.0 usb port this might be the one you want to get

Cons: I don't know if this is my laptop's problem or the usb hub's problem. Sometimes my laptop doesn't recognize my usb. I have to keep pull it out and plug it back in again to make it work. If I get rid of usb and plug it in direct, it works just fine.
I am guessing this is issue with usb hub.

Pros: Compact, nice design

Cons: Does not route higher USB power input to additional ports

Overall Review: I guess if you just need a data hub this would be fine but I bought it to consolidate a charging station and even though I had 2.1A input, nothing would charge correctly w/ this hub. Not my Blackberry, legacy Razor, Sansa etc. Most charge fine connected to the 2.1A source individually (also a Nexus 7) but through the hub, nothing. Not really worth returning but I'm disappointed and need to find another option.

Manufacturer Response:

Thank you for choosing IOGEAR and we apologize for the inconvenience. To better service you and understand your set up, please feel to contact our customer support at 1-866-946-4327 or email us: support@iogear.com. The GUH285W6 is a non powered USB hub. To charge the cell phones you listed we would suggest a powered USB hub. These cell phones draw to much power to charge efficiently through a non powered hub. Once again, thank you for choosing IOGEAR.

Pros: Small, compact, cheap

Cons: USB cable is about 3-5 inches long. Was hoping it was a little longer.

Overall Review: Would not buy again

Manufacturer Response:

Thank you for choosing IOGEAR and we apologize for your experience. The GUH285W6 was designed for traveling and use with lap tops. This is the reason for the short USB cable and this compact design. IOGEAR offers a variety of USB hubs to fit almost any need. Please check out the different USB hubs available at IOGEAR.com. Again, thank you for choosing IOGEAR.
