But a few weird design choices have me giving the PowerHub the side-eye.

Companies send me a lot of emails, and theyre mostly about products that will charge my devices.

Some chargers have style, some have power, and on rare occasions, some have both.

The Intelli Powerhub

I decided to take the PowerHub for a test drive to see where it falls on that continuum.

Heres what I found out.

This thing will charge everything in your house, although some options are better than others.

And I didnt find the wireless option very fast, either.

Another issue I saw had to do with placement on the magnetic charging stand.

I had the same issue trying to charge my phones horizontally.

I could do it, but it was even harder to gauge “middle” in that orientation.

Water, oil, pancake batter…no outlet-friendly liquid exists, and these things are wide open.

The outlets are convenient to use where they are, but they dont feel very safe.

I would happily sacrifice some of that handiness if they were on the side, instead.

Barring that, Intelli also could toss a couple caps into the box and encourage people to use them.
