The Amazon Basics 6-in-1 hub costs £16.99 and is rated 4.2 stars from 497 ratings, with three USB ports, 100W pass-through charging and an 80 gram aluminium body.

It takes ninth because it is the clearest example of this market's central confusion — a 6-in-1 name over a specification reading three USB ports — and the only listing here that admits its pass-through loses fifteen watts.
