    The item is great, but you cannot rely on Best Buy to complete a price match. I am within the price match timeframe and the savings is $17. I have been transferred to two representatives, each indicating they can help with the adjustment and after 20 minutes their system is unable to process the adjustment.

    Claims to be USB 3.2, but on 2 different computers using USB A and C, I never can get it to read faster than USB 3 speeds which is a third of the speed of an my older reader costing half as much.

    This product felt a little cheap to me. The quality was not great. My Mac computer did not recognize it every time so it was a bit of a pain to use.

    Card reader was overpriced in comparison to online purchase. It also is not universal in reading all cards. 7 slots are the norm for universal readers. Quality for what it does is very good.
