Gets the job done!
This hub is really good for the price but it gets very warm after use of about an hour.. not sure if that’s normal since I don’t have much experience with these in the past. But I can’t complain it does the job.

Works flawlessly with 2019 MacBook Air Laptop
Those USB-C ports on the new MacBook Air laptop can be irritating. Especially if you want to plug in a Cat5e Ethernet cable...and a printer, and maybe other devices. This adapter makes that possible. The one thing I don't like is if you elevate your Mac, the heaviest part of this adapter tends to dangle by its cable. Long term - that can't be good. But zero problems so far.

Very nice adapter for the price
Great adapter, I use the 5k usb-c output for my 144hz 1440p monitor and works at full refresh rate, the ethernet adapter works at full gigabit and no issues with the USB-A outputs. One caveat to note is the usb-c input labelled "Power-in' Charges at 75W, while the "5k video" charges at 95W, so to have the full charging capability you cannot use the 5k monitor output at he same time. But even for my 16" macbook 75W is enough for it to charge normally so it is not an issue for me.
