This power strip has a 5 foot AC cable, 4 USB ports, and 2 ungrounded AC ports.
AC outlet positions in a way that they will accept two large plugs, but not two battery chargers (such as SONY Eneloop).
I measured the performance of 4 USB ports. I used both an Apple device and an Android device. I tested each device when it was the only one charging on each of the ports, as well as it was one of 4 devices charging at the same time. Both devices worked, but the performance was a bit disappointing for my Android devices on all 4 ports (AC rate but significantly below optimal), and good for Apple devices on two ports, and below optimal on two other ports. I am including the detailed current monitor readings below for those who like to see the technical details.

Port 2: 1.32A / 5.08V
Port 3: 0.92A / 5.08V
Port 4: 0.92A / 5.09V

✔ iPad Mini (with 3 other devices charging)
--------------------------

To summarize I like strips that combine USB and AC ports without an additional charger. However, USB ports on this strip did not perform as well as other chargers for my Android phone, it charged but below the optimal rate. On the other hand this power strip did very well on 2A ports with iPad Mini.
