The roku device can use an outlet or usb port. It also makes it possible for me to not carry multiple adapters, as this has direct usb plugins. Used to replace a much larger power strip and additional usb charger.
This device isn't ul certified, which doesn't inspire confidence. The usb ports are severely underpowered. Complaints from my device of insufficient charging power.
The product is very portable with a small led light indicator which i think gives a more polished look to the product. This is perfect for cruising. If you live in a dorm, it’s a must have.
The cord is shorter than 5 feet. They advertise it as mountable and provided two keyhole mounting holes.
Within 6 months. Popped a fuse sure or broke.
