Quite simply put, people simply will not say anything bad about this 6-port charger. Over 4,000 customers have reviewed it on Amazon, and I’ll let you see what its rating looks like:
Whoa! Five stars? After 4,000 reviews?! It does seem that the five filled-in stars is the product of a bit of rounding – the aggregate rating on this charger is 4.8 stars, with only 87 percent of reviewers deeming it perfect. That’s still incredible. It is very, very hard to get 3,500 people to say nice things about one thing on the Internet.
Furthermore, these reviews don’t even factor in the fact that this charging station is over half off today.
When it comes to the quality of products on Amazon, I am liable to follow the opinion of the crowd. But on consumer electronics, I also want to hear what electrical engineers have to say. Luckily one reviewer, Daniel Becker, provides an in-depth analysis that agrees with expands upon what everybody else says:
First, BEWARE of other units specifying high currents for their multiple ports only to find out that they can’t deliver high power (current) on ALL of them at once. Also, bottom price adapters can output too high of a voltage and damage or ruin your stuff. There’s a lot of junk being sold, so do your homework.
Well, I did it for you. See below.
We just returned from 2 weeks in Europe and used this charger every night.
Each night, it charged 3 phones, a tablet and GPS, all at the same time.There, it worked on 240V. So, I used a cheap outlet adapter (Ceptics USA to Europe Asia Plug Adapter) to feed European 240V into my RAVPower supply. The unit automatically switches from 240V to 120V. With these inexpensive adapters, I can use my charger both at home and abroad.
To keep an eye on things, I used a BESTOPE Dual-USB Output Charging Detector to monitor how well each of the USB outputs was performing (voltage and current under light and heavy loads). Obviously, you don’t need to do this.
My Charger worked perfectly.
I found that it works equally well on the 120V here at home.I have no affliiation with this or any other USB power supply company. I am just an electrical engineer and am picky about delivering reliable, safe power for my expensive electronics.

In on Dr. Dan. In on this charger. Out on “other units specifying high currents for their multiple ports only to find out that they can’t deliver high power (current) on ALL of them at once.”
