    inb4 these are unsafe and not certified for Australia. I use these and some from other brands and they're great. No need to worry about crappy travel adapters to use my electronics.

      yep i got my gadgets with euro power plugs and US power plugs happily coexisting with oz power plugs.

      Example: Maha Powerex MH-C9000 with Euro plug.
      Obi200 ATA from amazon with US plug.

        Also if you only want outlets for euro and US plugs and dont need the usb ports you could go for a 5 outlet one.

          I tried buying a multi-country all-in-one adapter once from a travel store and had a sample one I bought in Malaysia to show them what I meant. They said "they're not certified for use in Australia so we can't sell them".

          Bunnings has been involved with so many house fires and the selling of dodgy fans, heaters, powerboards and everything else in between and I doubt any of the products actually was properly certified but at the end of the day the certification isn't the be all and end all that many people think. Powerboards in Australia are often rubbish unless you're prepared to pay $50+ to get something you can buy from China for $10 because of the Australian Tax that applies to everything sold here.

          Provide a link where an insurance company refused a payout because of an imported powerboard or appliance.

          Heaps of people bring appliances to Australia that they purchased overseas either on holiday or when they relocated here and their insurance claims are paid out.

          You have more chance of your locally purchased and approved Samsung washing machine then an imported Xiaomi product.

          How does my imported Bosch induction cooktop or oven pose a bigger threat then the local purchased models?

          What about the people who import all their kitchen appliances from the UK? Plenty of people do this and some have checked with their insurance companies and had no problems (check the thread on Whirlpool).

      I bought a few of these for that travel use too. Even lightens the load of not needing USB power adapters.

      The problem with certification isn't that these aren't safe (as mentioned they are very much well built, etc) but because anyone who is not cynical about their insurance is ignorant and if they have the chance to pin it in a non-compliant device, they will, regardless of the actual fault.

        I don't have the greatest electrical knowledge.

        I wanted to run a ~400W computer, a 40 inch screen (wtf apparently its only rated for 62W), a 21 inch screen, 5m of led strip lighting. And to be safe maybe a couple of other devices.

        Do you think this would be fine?

      Can you plug the Australian/other country's ground prong into the active/neutral plugs on this one? I saw it done on Big Clive's youtube channel and found it entertaining/dangerous (although you'd need to be a kid to actually do it).

      For example, if you have a metal kettle where the outside is grounded, the body of your kettle becomes live if you plug it in that way.

      Like this: https://youtu.be/hvOTiQKkQMo?t=39s

    • supersabroso on 07/02/2017 - 06:10

      Unsafe is a complete load of BS, not certified, yes. Xiaomi hasn't paid an Australian agency to certify the product yet, that's all.

    • IVI on 10/02/2017 - 10:26

      C'mon people, PushBack!

      Why does Xiami or this vendor not willing to at least supply an AU plug?!?

      This shows little respect, eg, for those who have children where this may be used: If its plug requires an adapter (which can come loose, & allow little fingers to touch 240 V) this is unacceptable!

      • Clear on 10/02/2017 - 10:35

        The answer is simple. Xiaomi do not officially sell in Australia so they have no reason to supply an AU plug.

        Xiaomi are officially in USA, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, India and Middle East. Even then most products aren't available outside of China officially.

        single USB, 5V —- 2.1A three USB, 5V —- 3.1A

        That implies that with one USB connected it is 2.1A but with three USBs connected it will max out at 3.1A meaning 2.1A + 1A, or 1A + 1A + 1A.

          If it's just a single phone you'll get 2.1A. Most phones only draw 1.5A maximum, so you'll get 2 phones on it at full rate. It's only if all 3 are in use it's limited.

          Had 2 redmi note 3's mediatek and now Kate.

          Both are the worst phones I've ever owned.

          The mediatek I experienced drop outs rebooting and bootloops every 2 minutes at least,flashed it with official ROMs and custom ROMs, ended up smashing it because neverbuying kept ignoring my ticket and messages got so frustrated.

          The Kate I'm still experiencing slight bugs fingerprint scanner not working properly also problems with camera and flash light although working much better from when I got it as I had 2 official ROMs on it and took another 4 custom ROMs to get through as I experienced problems with constant bootloop and reboots with official ROMs.

          I can say its the worst phone to flash just too many headaches and I have come across a ROM yet where everything works stable. I am now sure this xiaomi phone will be the last I ever purchase.

      Of course not! Even condoms can't.

        It's really inconvenient trying to get a condom on these things.

    Have bought these from Geekbuying before, very impressive, very well built.
    The Pins on them, while they don't have the extra insulation over the pins like Australian plugs are required to have ( and are upside down as mentioned by others), fit really well into Australian powerpoints, which certainly can't be said for the vast majority of cheap travel adapters often supplied with overseas devices that many ozbargainers will have imported in the past.

    My suspicion is that the extra insulation over the 2 pins would be about the only thing that would actually prevent these being certified for sale here as the quality of these things is clearly better than some of the crap powerboards that are available locally. The only other trap ( and I'll admit it's a big one for the unwary) is that by giving you access to a socket that has the ability to plug in US style plugs (and others as well) you could plug something that uses the wrong voltage ( ie 110v) such as say an imported table lamp or hair dryer / straightener. Nearly anything that has a powerpack these days would be ok, but again not everything would be compatible.

    As long as you check what input voltage the device is, these are a much better option than using those god awful adapters that come with most imported electrical items and overall I honestly believe these are much safer to use than said adapters.

      the thickness of the internal bus bars and the built in charger is also something that could not meet local standards

  • CyberMurning on 05/02/2017 - 16:29

    if those usbs are qc 2, wow this will be sold out in no time.
    but yeah, the usbs are a bit slow in charging stuffs if you in a rush but fine for overnight charging

    I would really like the person who wrote the description to talk dirty to me. It seems like she would be really good at it if she can do so well talking up a dognammed powerboard.

    "Phosphor bronze terminal"
    Oh yeah, tell me about that phosphor bronze terminals

    "retardant standard up to 750 centigrade"
    750 centigrade! Oh baby, I didn't even know that was still a unit of measurement. Keep going keep going!

    " Subtle and elegant white power indicator light shows working status"
    Oh yes, its gotta be subtle and elegant. I couldn't bear it if someone came to my house and saw a power board that didn't scream subtlety and elegance! What would people think!

      What? centigrade = Celsius

      You should chat to the guy explaining how he popped his Android cherry a few days ago!

  • geebee on 05/02/2017 - 16:55

    This is why you don't use (especially) permanently plugged in non approved mains powered devices / usb adapters.

      maybe apple should charge "appropiate prices" for chargers and accessories then people wouldn't venture to the aftermarket products
