I find that I have to unplug the device for all the ports to work. Sometimes, random ports just stop working. A quick unplug/replug resets it. But it is annoying
If you have multiple devices this makes for a compact charging station. It’s small enough to be a travel option too, but probably overkill for that case.
Like every other Satechi product, this feels very premium and works very well.I bought the 4 slot USB-C 165 before and thought it would be enough. While it was all nice and all, it definitely wasn't enough for me with two MacBook pros, iPad Pro, iPhone, iWatch and 2 AirPods,. So I upgraded to the 6 slot USB C. I have many devices constantly on heavy use so I need the charger constantly bringing energy. This 200 W was the solution I needed. Keep in mind that this is considerably heavier than the 165 W charger.
This is the first USB Charger I've tried that actually does what it claims to do - it supplies the actual amount of power to each port that claims to do. 6 ports, all charging simultaneously, and at the power levels Satechi claims. For this money however, it really should have an Off switch, or a fully dead mode so it's not sucking up power when it's not charging anything. Minor niggle.
I have the 4-port and 3-port Satechi chargers, and love them. Ran out of ports in my main room, upgraded to this 6-port model and love it even more.Build quality is exceptional, power distribution scales to the needs of what is connected to it. Looks great, built great, works great - AAA+!
