  For my taste, too few specs and too cheap (~ EUR 6).

  Specs should list the Amps per port, minimum and maximum. The package
says "Fast charge", so the maximum per port should be at least 2A.

  I have a similar device which has a mains plug on the back (your
device probably has some mains cable, but that's not even shown or
listed). The mains plug is replaceable for different countries ('travel
adapter'). Handy when traveling in Australia, but at home in The
Netherlands, I just use multiple adapters, each in a mains socket, or in
a multi-socket mains-adapter (our 2-prong plugs are very small,
probably not feasible for the UK).
