I have purchased this model previously at around US$25 and it has performed well.
This device does not carry the required Electrical Safety Compliance for Australia. Nor does the AC Cable supplied with the device.
It is delivered with an AC cable with a USA style plug. I keep that for overseas travel and use a compliant local cable when using it in Australia.
Around 500 sold on posting - and about 20 hours left to buy at this price.
Personally I'd prefer a Blitzwolf or Tronsmart which can supply full current to any port, and which automatically detect if they are connected to an Apple, Samsung or standard device.
I've tried to use chargers with dedicated 2A and 1A ports before and it can be a nightmare, especially when you have family or friends visiting. A few times I've woken up to find out I was sleepy and accidentally plugged my tablet or mobile phone into the low-power socket the night before, then ran out of juice prematurely the next day. If many people are sharing these chargers, as happens when family or friends visit, it's very difficult to try to explain that some ports only work with some devices. And bad when you plugged your device into the working socket, but somebody else changed it to another socket without your knowledge so they could fast-charge their iPad, and your device stopped charging completely.
