I really like this charger. It is quite compact for being able to charge 10 things at the same time. I always need to charge not only my mobile devices by external batteries which I use extensively, so this has become my main charging station. I have been using it for over 2 weeks, using all 10 slots charging phones and batteries and it remains cool while doing a lot of charging.
The charger size: 3.75" x 2.125" x 1.875"
The charger weight: 8.20 oz
The AC cord length: 58"
The description states that it can charge 4 tablets and 6 smart phones simultaneously. I dug up my old smart phones and managed to test 4 phones and 3 tablets charging at the same time. I also measured the charger's performance with the current monitor so I can see how each of the devices performed when it was the only device charging and compared to how it charged when I had all 7 devices charging. I am including the details current monitor readings below for those who like to see the technical details. The bottom line of the tests is that the charger did very well, especially for Android devices. However, I was never able to get more than 1.15A on my iPad Mini even when it was the only device charging. The good charging rate for iPad Mini is above 1.30A and best I ever got is 1.70A.

To summarize this charger did well charging my 7 devices at the same time. It perform at close to optimal rate for Android devices. It worked but performed a bit below average for iPad Mini. I like that I can charge many devices and give up just one slot on my charging strip. The unit remains cool when charging a couple of phones, a tablet, and external batteries.
