The flaw in many three port designs, as is the case here, is that the total power limit is shared across all three ports (17W in this case) but the potential power draw from a single port is remarkably close to the to total power draw limit (the USB-C can get up to 15W).

As such, this type of design is handy for occaisionally charging a single device (either up to 12W on a single USB-A or up to 15W on the USB-C) and may even be useful for charging a couple of USB-A devices. However, there's no guarantees as to the speed and stable charging of two devices if, for example, you use the USB-C and one of the USB-A ports. This is even less true if you attempted to actually charge three devices simultaneously. The results in the latter case would, at best, be a slow but functional 5W charging across all three ports. However, just as likely is that one port gets reduced to nothing or next to nothing as the other two ports attempt to max their capabilities. Even worse might be intermittent charging as the ports constantly attempt to renegotiate and rebalance.

Good luck!

Weird. I signed in with my wife's Amazon account who never had Woot! and it didn't apply the $4...

EDIT: I think I got scammed because I clicked Sign Up, but then instead of clicking "create account" I clicked "sign in with Amazon" which just linked the two accounts instead of "creating a new account"

True that I use my Roku with something like this and it does not give out enough power.

I bought this on Amazon at like $10 or so. It's so cheap feeling and I couldn't even use one of the AC ports for either two of my devices. Useless so I returned it. Got a Anker one for $15 that is much better quality.
