          Insurance companies will hold you responsible for DIY electrical work and can definitely hold you responsible for using unsafe appliances.

          I am 100% sure if you call your insurance company and tell them you want to buy an uncertified power board from china and ask if they could hold you liable for a fire, they will for sure say that it is a possibility.

          THe problem is half of australia have chinese boards, and if words gets out insurance comapnies wont pay if you have one, most companies will lose a lot of companies and goto the one that allows "chiense" boards.

          Then again when was the last time you heard in the australian media a story of an insurance refusing to pay because of uncerified equipment ?

          All power boards you can buy in Australia are certified.

          Where its made is not relevant.

          And while I can't speak for power boards in particular certification does mean something. Some chargers and other appliances from china are extremely dangerous and would never be certified in Australia due to electrocution risk etc.

          @samfisher5986: Can you stop talking shite and giving legal advice as you clearly aren't an expert nor have any experience either in law or insurance. I know that because if you did you wouldn't be saying shite like that which is pretty much the first thing they teach you not to do.

          Yes they will say "possibly" and "can" because they will not give legal advice and especially with hypotheticals like that.

          This is the part of the PDS that you probably thinks deal with this. You're free to actually bother reading a PDS but you won't find anything else (well in the one that I'm familiar with - read your PDS).

          ensure that your home complies with local government or other statutory requirements at all
          times.

          If you think that means an electrical product must be certified before you can use it then you haven't read the laws regarding electrical product certification and where and when they apply.

          I'm not going to say "it's absolutely fine unless it's an egregious and completely unreasonable act, such as knowingly using a dangerous electrical item, because unlike you I used to work in home insurance claims and at no stage is the question or idea even broached" because I don't want to give legal advice.

          I will say read the PDS, laws and regulations yourself and if you're capable of understanding them you'll come to your own conclusion. Oh and seek actual legal advice should you need it because none of what I said is.

          Homes have multiple levels each with circuit breakers. A powerboard isnt the only circuit breaker in any electrical system under load. Ofc ourse its better if it works, but plugging something straight into the wall has no circuit breaker in the wall but the house does.

      When your house burns down from this piece of junk, you cannot chase the seller that happens to be in China.

      Pay an extra $19 and get a normal brand like Jackson

          Ok so Aussie people take this board to EU and US because they can charge their AU devices,
          But this board has an AU power cable, you will STILL need an adapter to connect the board at an EU or US wall socket. Once you throw adapters in the mix, you've eliminated the benefits.

        • Clear on 29/08/2017 - 10:38

        Yes, safety is a very important matter… but blind faith in certification is something you may want to rethink as that attitude can prove even more dangerous.

        Does your car have 'certified' Takata air bags? Tens of millions of cars around the world did and they're now being replaced… sometimes with the exact same 'certified' yet faulty models! That's just one of many, many examples. Sure, a small tick logo is a rough guide but unfortunately it's close to meaningless. On top of that, how do you even know the tick is genuine anyway?!?! Pretty easy to pull the wool on consumers these days.

          Hello Minion,

          Firstly, Australia has stringent ISO and compliance laws to protect consumers from faulty devices that either catch fire, or damage devices.

          2nd; Australian energy rating is different to China, so these devices must be tested to withstand our AC/DC regulation.

          3rd; Whether a house burned in China or a person lost their iPhone due to a burn-out would probably not even make international news given the strong influence as to what media is released from China.

          Sorry chump, you don't make a point

          Go right ahead and believe what you want. It's amusing that you think the rest of the world have no idea how to make power boards that don't catch fire.

          Firstly, Australia has stringent ISO and compliance laws to protect consumers from faulty devices that either catch fire, or damage devices.

          So if a device is compliant, it will not catch fire?

        • frostman on 29/08/2017 - 20:39

          @eug:

          Why are you resorting to being so immature? Is this a reflection of your intellect?

          This is in response to your silly sarcasm as to 'why isn't everyone dying in China by having their houses burnt'.

          I can also give you statistics that 90% of people in India ride motorbikes without helmets, does that mean we should remove helmet compliance here because people arnt 'dying in thousands from it in India'? Your arguments are so stupid I am wasting time here.

          So if a device is compliant, it will not catch fire?

          Compliant is 1 thing, Faulty is another. The design of the component is what's compliant, if the factory machine build 5,000,000 units, there may be a faulty one yes. However the overall design is tested with Australia standards.

          In the case above, it is not tested to meet AU standard, so you have a high chance something can go wrong.

          For your perusal [Austest]

          All mains powered electrical products sold or used in Australia must be safe and a basis for determining electrical safety is compliance with AS/NZS3820 (Essential safety requirements for Australia & New Zealand). This standard in itself is not a test standard and references/relies on compliance to relevant product specific safety standards. In other words, compliance with AS/NZS3820 is achieved when a product complies with the relevant Australian product safety standard

        • eug on 29/08/2017 - 22:38

          @frostman:

          Your arguments are so stupid I am wasting time here.

          Aww, sorry to have upset you so much. Hope you feel better tomorrow.

          In the case above, it is not tested to meet AU standard, so you have a high chance something can go wrong.

          So this confirms my earlier statement saying that you are of the opinion that the rest of the world is incapable of producing a device that does not catch fire - only devices that have had a few manufacturing samples approved to Australian standards are safe. If it doesn't have AU approvals, there is a high chance something can go wrong.

          OK then, keep believing that if you like, I won't waste my time trying to convince you otherwise. :)

          Based on your comments, every Amazon deal with an US plug is unsafe (no insulated pins). Any overseas phone, tablet, laptop deals with an non-AUS plug are all unsafe.

          I bought chargers from Harvey Norman before which turned out to be poor quality and ended up being unsafe. It was a branded one and was actually quite pricey.

          The reason people are considering these is because there is a growing number of products being posted on OZB with non-AUS plugs. Honestly, the adapter/converter included by some of the sellers (or the cheap ones on feeBay) are potentially more dangerous than this. I've seen sparks when using those converters and some of them can be quite loose. Even Apple had to recall their AU plugs. When I called Apple Support, and asked about whether I have to get mine changed, I was told that if I don't feel the electric shock, I don't have to (Good one, Apple Support).

          It's good to get people aware of the potential danger. However, people can get these tested. To be honest, it is actually quite easy to pass the test.

        • netsurfer on 29/08/2017 - 15:04

          @samfisher5986: At work, we have all electrical equipment checked every year. Those people have dedicated equipment and they will tagged ones which passed the tests (and won't allow ones which failed). They don't need to open anything.

        • samfisher5986 on 29/08/2017 - 15:11

          @netsurfer:

          Yeah I have the same, but these tests generally won't catch chargers that are an electrocution or fire hazard due to it using dodgy/poor quality components. You can buy some chargers from china that are very dangerous.

          They do better at detecting issues with regular products.

        • netsurfer on 29/08/2017 - 16:01

          @samfisher5986: Chargers… yes, they can be quite dangerous. I normally look at the reviews and nowadays, I only use original ones. I bought a few Apple chargers when they were $25 each. Honestly, some of the Belkin chargers were around that price. I do mix Google (Asus, HTC) chargers though.

          For USB-C, it gets more complicated. I only have two official QC fast chargers (Samsung and Motorola). I did buy a Blitzwolf one and did some tests with a voltmeter dongle. Single device, they have not gone over the specs yet (but it could be my device not overdrawing current). However, the two port ones, which I read from the review, allows up to 6A per port (if only 1 port is in used). That's too much for me so I have not purchased any Blizwolf 2 port 5V 3A poer port chargers. I did buy one with QC and 5V port (again, that has the same issue where the 5V does allow way too much over-current). The QC port does have over-current protection (Blitwolf probably have to put it in due to 12V in QC). I didn't read the review before buying it though. USB-PD, original chargers only. High voltage, no point risking it. I also use original cables for USB-PD. You really can notice the difference (and I am comparing original vs 3rd party USB-IF approved USB-C cables).

          I pretty much stick with original chargers for all my key devices. For devices less than $130 AUD, I am willing to use third party ones. It's hard to resist these cheap chargers sometimes, but the reality is that most cheap multi-port chargers are not safe and they are not good for your equipment compared to single port ones (they are also a lot of dodgy single port ones too).

        The one I linked to above has everything except the individual fuses. It was about $12 AUD as well, so wasn't expensive =/ Haven't found it in stock ever since..

    Anyone having issues with payment going through? It seems to state that the system is busy.

    Nice appearance and simple for home use and decoration

    Wonder what 20 of these would look like, hanging in a Christmas tree.

      Depends if the tree is certified in Australia or not.

        Frankly, the opinion of Ozbargainers means more to me than Australian Certification. The $3 power boards sold at Bunnings are 100 times more dangerous than the Xiaomi ones.

        If Ozbargain had a tick-mark, it could make a fortune.

          What kind of death traps are they selling at Bunnings!?

          @clx: In the past year it looks like lots of heaters and a Click power board.

        • netsurfer on 28/08/2017 - 13:51

          @eug: Need to check powerboards I bought from Bunnings.

          Anyone with a brain sees the Recalls website filled with recalled 'certified' product. Certified = Meaningless assurance for nonthinking taxpaying muppets.

    Do all three USB outputs do 2A simultaneously or is that shared?

    Are these definitely legit Xiaomi? Wouldn't want fake Chinese power boards

      Ever seen a fake Xiaomi power board?

        I've only got 2 or these and ordered them from reliable sources. Just because I haven't seen one doesn't mean they don't exist. Don't they make fake everything in China?

        • Clear on 28/08/2017 - 15:40

          They don't fake everything over there like they used to it's becoming less common for online international stores to sell fakes (e.g. AliExpress). I've yet to see or hear of any fake Xiaomi boards both in China and online. There are plenty of other brands that offer the same.

    Would this be able to fast charge my phone?
    Through the usb ports?

    • Brouw3r on 28/08/2017 - 13:19

      It's 5V @ 2A (10W) so it's reasonably fast but it's not QC2/3 (up to 18W with varied voltage).

  • iversonjack on 28/08/2017 - 13:17

    anyone know if this will fast charge samsung galaxy s7/s8?

    • eug on 28/08/2017 - 13:19

      If you're thinking QuickCharge 2.0/3.0, then nope. It will do the "standard" fast charge though, at 5V 2A.

      • iversonjack on 28/08/2017 - 13:24

        thanks for that clarification!

      It says Quick Charge 2.0 supported, right there on the box.

      • eug on 28/08/2017 - 22:07

        Where?

  • notoriousft on 28/08/2017 - 13:21

    How fast is the delivery?

    • notoriousft on 28/08/2017 - 13:27

      Just saw it: 15-40 days
      Hmmm… I need to have it in three weeks max. Should I risk it?
      Happy to pay up to 5 bucks to expedite the shipping.

      • ozizoy on 28/08/2017 - 14:02

        No. 15 days means working days, so 15-40 days means more like 3-8 weeks for delivery.

        • notoriousft on 28/08/2017 - 14:18

          Thanks mate. Shelved it for future. :)

    Wasn't sure if I would buy one of these, but then I noticed:

    • inexpensive，useful
    • a life necessity in everyday life
    • Concise and delicate as ornaments of your house
    • Subtle and elegant white power indicator light
    • Nice appearance and simple for home use and decoration

    Very nice sales job, OP.

    I never purchased one of these because I knew the dangers that came with them. Then my house burnt down. The insurance company found that the cause of the fire was a Xiaomi pen and I wasn't paid out. True story.

      None of this would have happened if the Xiaomi pen was global ROM with B28.

    Why do people joke about whether this is certified for use in Australia? Poster should a a minimum warn purchasers that device is not certified for use in Australia and use at own risk.
