Firstly, it's very nicely made, not heavy but feels solid. Made of all aluminum, nicely done Satechi.
Now onto my tests and reasoning for the 3 stars.
Works perfectly with obviously the official apple charger, but also with the Anker Premium 5-Port 60W USB Wall Charger PowerPort+ 5 USB-C with Power Delivery for Apple MacBook. Great! Other docks don't seem to support the Anker charger but this does. My USB flash drives seem to work fine, have not tried any mechanical usb drives, but i don't see a problem with power being an issue. The ports give 1amp each. Also on my Macbook 2015 in system information shows the Hub with a Via chipset, one port is listed as USB2, 1amp power available, and the other as a USB3 with 1.8amp available for charging. I did not try any big transfers to check speeds rated.
Now onto the sad part, the hub does not seem to want to work with my Dell LCD screen. It's a 17inch screen connected via a DVI to HDMI cable. The official Apple HDMI USB Dongle detects the display and works perfectly. But the Satechi one shows the display in power save mode. I did try a OWC USB-C dock that was 4 times the cost of this hub and the OWC one would flash the display blue and black making it unusable. It's strange that the Apple one works yet no other dock can work with my simple setup.
In contact with Satachi support, recommended i download and install a DisplayLink driver. Sadly did not help. I did notice a lag also when restarting and booting up the machine, about 20 seconds lag, seems unplugging the hub resolves that issue. Support decided i had received a hub with a faulty chipset and have agreed to replace. Great Service!!! Will update my rating once i get to try the replacement.
Update: Received the replacement hub very quickly (superb customer service Satechi!). Tested today and found that maybe i have a bad DVI to HDMI cable as it does not work with the Satchi hub at all. Works with my 32inch Samsung TV however using pure HDMI to HDMI. The Apple Digital-AV Adapter works flawlessly with everything i have tried. I've decided to keep the Satechi hub as having 2 USB ports is handy, i love how it's made unlike the Apple one, and supports 3rd party chargers.

Reviews with images
Great, but the plug is easy to break
This is probably the best USB C hub on the market right now. I really liked the overall build quality of this hub. It's really well done, except for the most important part: The actual USB C connection was ridiculously easy to break.I stood up with my computer in my hand and the hub got tugged and the entire USB C cover pulled off, making an otherwise brand new $60 hub completely unusable. The plug tip is metal but the material changes to plastic almost immediately, and there's no way to put the tip back on. The worst part is that it doesn't look like anything is broken, but there's just no way to put it back together.I'm not sure if this is a problem with USB C in general or just with the way this specific connector was designed, but I hope there's something this company can do to reinforce that connection moving forward. Or not, because they'll probably make more money if people continue breaking it and buying new ones like I'm about to do...
