      This is not made to Australian standards and insurance companies will reject claims if there is house fire from using this unit.

      The millions of phone and laptop chargers and travel plug converters used by international visitors every year aren't made to Australian standards either. Are hotels burning down left right and centre?

      Just because something isn't made to Australian standards doesn't mean it's more likely to catch fire than a $2 power board from the Reject Shop.

          Yes, there's always a lot of speculation here about that. Nobody has been able to provide evidence that an insurance company has rejected a claim due to an overseas power board though.

          In any case, the point is that this power board has been shown to be well-made (refer to the review posted somewhere here) and is probably less likely to catch fire than a $2 power board from a corner store, or even that 15-year old power board at your grandparents' house.

      • mr_fjackson on 07/12/2017 - 22:08

        A power board from the reject shop, will be double insulated and have a 10 amp over current trip switch.

        The trip switch prevents the device from being over loaded and therefore catching fire. If this has an over current trip it should be ok. If not, then there is a risk of it catching fire when over loaded.

        • eug on 08/12/2017 - 00:31

          A power board from the reject shop, will be double insulated

          Hmm, all plastic power boards are double insulated by definition. This one even more so as there are safety shutters over the live and neutral pins.

          If this has an over current trip it should be ok.

          Yes it does, you can see it in this teardown.

        • b2dz on 07/12/2017 - 17:30

          The problem is, these don't exist - as in, powerboards that can support international adapters. It's part of the standard I belive - all compliant devices must only accept Australian plugs.

          So you can't actually buy Australian compliant powerboards with international inputs.

          First world problem.

          You would have to be pretty dumb to risk your entire house and belongings just to save a few bucks with an overseas powerboard.

          Better not stay in any hotels ever. It'd be filled with tourists plugging hundreds of overseas power boards, travel converters, and chargers into the wall. You'd have to be pretty dumb to risk your life like that. The hotel could burn down while you sleep, killing you and your whole family.

          In fact, better not cross a road ever. There's a tiny chance you might get hit by a car and die. You'd have to be pretty dumb to risk your life like that.

          Heck, better not enter your bathroom. There's a chance you might slip and fall and hit your head on the sink and die. You'd have to be pretty dumb to risk your life like that.

          You're so fixated on worrying about the power board catching fire that you can't see the forest for the trees.

          Everyone takes risks in life, from driving a car to crossing a street.

          If you drive your car, a drunk driver could smash into you and maim or kill you. But the chances are low, so we all still drive.

          If you use this power board and it somehow catches fire, your insurance company might reject the claim. But the chances are low, so lots of us happily use it.

          You're fearfully stuck in a "what if" world, and are calling everyone who has bought this power board "dumb" simply because they are not stuck afraid in a "what if" world.

          Meanwhile, you happily take other risks that have far more grave consequences than using this power board.

    The only downside with this power board is no surge protection. Easily solved with a $5 plug-in SP from Bunnings but has to be factored into the price

    • eug on 07/12/2017 - 17:39

      None of our standard power boards here have surge protection either. You have to pay extra for those.

      • R4 on 07/12/2017 - 18:23

        Sure, but I would never plug electronics at home into an outlet that was not surge protected - I'm an electrical person - because I know how easily they can get damaged under surge conditions.

          So that's a downside with every (standard) power board, not just this power board. Your original statement made it sound like only this power board has no surge protection while all others do.

      • dufflover on 08/12/2017 - 00:07

        huh? Every powerboard I've seen has a (probably low energy token) trip reset button.
        Or is that something else?

        • eug on 08/12/2017 - 00:33

          That reset button is for overload protection (e.g. if you plug two kettles into one power board). Surge protection is to protect your equipment against voltage spikes by e.g. lightning.

      Not sure man. I had a look in Coles on the way home and they have a Crest branded 4 socket surge protected board for $10. Also one with 3 usb ports for $20. I think the surge protection and extra socket make them better value, esp considering it's a locally owned company with products made to Oz specifications.

  • bargaino on 07/12/2017 - 20:03

    I don't give a toss about C-ticks and other certification for personal imports.

    But these do look kind of dangerous.
    Powerboards are often in awkward places, and it would be very easy to put a plug in the wrong way, and have a live pin exposed.
