7 USB ports and 1 Charge port
Installed as soon as it arrived. Had two unpowered add on port expanders and some times my printer would not work. I would unplug and try to get it working most of the time by plugging it back in, the same went for my usb speakers. Unplug and plug back in the speakers would work. Half the time my usb head phones would not link to the blue tooth toggle that was plugged into one of the usb ports. I've been living with this setup for a long time until my cordless mouse was not being read on bootup and locked me out. This new 7 port and one charge port usb port expander has stopped all of my problems.

Stop swapping devices on those laptop ports.
USB 3.0 ports on today's laptops give you easy access to high data transfer speeds, but you only have so many. I have two USB ports on my laptop, which makes it a chore to juggle the external CD drive, thumb drive, and backup SSD. Add the microphone and external speakers you need to do a decent Zoom call and it's well nigh impossible. The Apanage 8-port powered hub makes it a breeze. The ports are individually switchable, letting you turn devices on and off as needed, and the single non-switched smart charging port is indispensible when you need to power up during a long work session. It has all the features I need at a very competitive price.

Minimalistic and powered USB hub 😍
I've been running out of USB ports that might works computer and wanted to be able to charge my phone as well as have multiple USB ports. While I don't use the on and off switch, the powered option through the receptacle is nice since some devices do tend to draw more power than necessary.I'm using this frequently with my card readers as well as small devices that need to trickle charge. The overall form factor is slim and does not take a ton of room so I've been happy with this purchase 😃

Solid
For the price you pay, a good product for sure.Has plenty of USB ports, and a long enough cable I had no problems connecting it.It is on the middle side of size, its not a laptop USB really, but it works well as a semi-slim HUB for a desktop PC.It has a separate power source so you can keep USB ports powered with the PC off as well. (So to charge your phone or a portable speaker overnight, after you turn off your PC).I mounted mine on the wall behind the PC with scotch mounting tape, and it sits in a wonderfully convenient spot for all my needs.You can even turn on and off separate USB ports to "disconnect" devices or peripherals without physically unplugging them.

Good purchase
Looks very nice on desk. I like the ability to switch off individual ports. Good size for desk use but compact enough to carry on longer trips.I’m using with a laptop and docking station. Limited ports and multiple peripherals such as headphones, mouse transmitter, keyboard, etc. It connects to dock station and eliminates wires or thumb drives off the sides of laptop or having to reach behind to access the dock station ports. Happy with it.

Best Price out there!
I shopped around for a USB hub for several months before deciding on this one. I have a lot of USB devices, but my PC is one of those mini-desktops and only has 1 USB 3.0 and 2 USB 2.0 plugs. This thing offers 7 powered USB 3.0 ports and it is the answer to my prayers. Best Buy wanted $120.00 for a similar device that was NOT powered and only had 3 3.0 plugs and 2 2.0 plugs. Well, they can keep their overpriced garbage! The Arpanage is a superior product and is EXTREMELY reasonably priced! If I need any other similar accessories, I know where to go now! THANKS FOR THE AWESOME PRODUCT!

Works well
Installation of this unit was trouble-free, and it works well. I'm not sure the on/off buttons are actually necessary (after all, the USB ports on my computer don't have an on/off switch). But the look pretty all lit up. The charging port on the end is nice and charges quickly. Overall my only regret is that I didn't get a 10 or 12 slot unit. It's pretty useful and makes accessing USB ports much easier than reaching to the back of my computer.

Just What I Wanted
This hub is exactly as described and does exactly what I wanted it to do. The ability to disconnect devices by turning off their port was a requirement and it works very well. Having all ports powered makes it easy to operate multiple low power devices. The dedicated smart charging port enables me to charge more power hungry devices without affecting the data ports. The indicator lights are bright enough to see easily, yet not obtrusive. The switch buttons are just big enough and provide a light tactile feel when turning a port on or off. I cannot speak to durability or longevity because I have only had this hub for a short time. It does feel and look well made, so I am optimistic.
