    Many Ports But A Problem With the Power Cord/Jack

    Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It does it's job and provides plenty of additional ports, but, my main issue with this is the usb connection power port in the back. The cord doesn't connect fully, and seems like it doesn't fit all that well. This leads to the hub being a little touchy on whether or not it will work. If you have it sitting wrong, power cord seems to be loose and you lose power.

      Hi StevenS,

      Thank you for sharing your experience with the Best Buy essentials™ 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub. I'm sorry to hear that it didn't work out for you due to power issues.

      To help with this, you might want to try using a powered USB hub, which has its own power source and doesn't rely solely on your desktop's power. This can often resolve such issues.

      If you need further assistance or would like to explore other options, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer support team. -Ed | Best Buy Essentials Support | https://www.bestbuy.com/site/brands/best-buy-brands/pcmcat1596746025285.c?id=pcmcat1596746025285 BBY-ExBrand_Best_Buy_essentials

    One out of two went bad on me immediately. One worked fine and all ports worked, the other one only two worked to begin with and then both of those went out within a day or two. I'll be returning both of these to get higher quality units
