I just bought one of these:

(don't forget to tick the 55% off 'voucher')

5 ports - there's one Qualcomm Quick Charge port which charges my phone in
40 minutes (but also does regular USB to non-QC gadgets). The other ports
go up to 2.4A which charges it in about an hour. Seems pretty solid all
round.

I got it for travelling - the power input is a figure-8 connector, so I can
attach whatever UK/EU/US cable is appropriate.

Look at 'Aukey' and 'Anker' as reasonable brands (less likely to catch fire
than bottom-barrel Chinese) - they have a wide range of different models.

I got an Anker 5 port which works just fine for my purposes which include dumb power-only and phone/tablet charging.
