    Aren't those ones like around $10

    • congo on 01/09/2019 - 11:20

      More like $14 I think

          When on sale.
          But coming from China. This is an ok price, considering fulfilled by Amazon.

          • bargainbuyer11 on 01/09/2019 - 11:24

            @congo: Are you talking about like 2 years ago when they used to be really good xiaomi specials, or recently

    • asa79 on 01/09/2019 - 17:14

      Where are you finding them for $10?

    Probably a reasonably good price, they used to be cheaper but AUD was a lot higher back then.

    "USB Output: Single USB: 5V~2.1A; Three USB: 5V~3.1A"

    That's piss weak. Max 15W split between 3 ports.

      They are not AU certified appliance and will void your home insurance if your house was to burn down as a result of using it

      • Thatbargainhunter on 01/09/2019 - 12:58

        This is not true.

        They will not void your house insurance. The non certified item will just not be covered.

        • skyva on 01/09/2019 - 16:38

          really, so if the uncertified item is the cause of the fault/fire, insurance just replace the $500k house and contents, minus the $15 item that was not approved for use?
          I would like a link to something that backs that up or the insurance company you use that doesn't care.

          • Thatbargainhunter on 01/09/2019 - 16:48

            @skyva: Have a look through PDS for home insurance policies. Your not going to find such a. Clause of exclusion.

  • aldroid on 01/09/2019 - 11:41

    Can anyone confirm that these have a rocker switch for ON/OFF? (it does look like it in the photos). I have a couple of the 6 plug version of these and they are excellent but the one thing I don't like about them is the ON/OFF switch is electronic and after power outage will default to OFF state. Very annoying.

    • nfr on 01/09/2019 - 11:49

      I have 2 of these and they don't power off after outage.

    • skwashd on 01/09/2019 - 11:54

      I keep one of these in my travel kit bag. It is a physical on/off switch that doesn't change after losing power.

      Mine goes off when I draw >=1600W. Very annoying.

      • asa79 on 01/09/2019 - 17:17

        Just use another powerboard for those high usage devices

        • Make it so on 01/09/2019 - 17:40

          You mean like my Xiaomi hairdryer that has an American plug, and only fits my Xiaomi powerboard?

  • norkle on 01/09/2019 - 12:04

    Based on the photo, it seems odd to me that this after plugging the cord in, it would normally be 'bum in the air'? Wouldn't it be better if it pointed down or to the side?

    • Yanoflies on 01/09/2019 - 12:13

      You don't see the whole cord so I don't know how you got to that assumption. It's like that to show you what plug it is.

      • mubd1234 on 01/09/2019 - 12:20

        You can clearly see in the thumbnail that the plug that goes into the wall has its cord hanging out next to the active pins, not the ground. That's how most appliances here with a cord usually are wired up, so it's less likely for the plug to accidentally fall out if yanked.

        China has their plugs wired upside down compared to ours (albeit with an identical plug/socket), and that's why the plug on this power strip is like that.

        • ohagas on 01/09/2019 - 16:54

          China doesn't have their plugs wired upside down. The Aussies have their sockets upside down!

        • Yanoflies on 02/09/2019 - 12:24

          Ahh, that's what he meant.

          Sorry I misunderstood.

    • nfr on 01/09/2019 - 12:15
      +2

      That's because China has pins upside down. You only buy these if you have a need for foreign plugs, otherwise just buy HPM powerboards.

    • mubd1234 on 01/09/2019 - 12:18
      +2

      That's because this power strip uses a Chinese plug, which is flipped upside down compared to Australian plugs.

      It's a feature to determine which hemisphere you are in

    • dantione on 01/09/2019 - 13:13

      Chinese sockets are 180'd to ours (earth to the top/ active neutral to the bottom) thus the plug direction

      • Niroshansira on 01/09/2019 - 13:28

        Thanks for the explanation …

  • H E B on 01/09/2019 - 13:25

    And for those who don't have amazon prime here's one for 13.99 on Ebay

    The specs and everything match up. Not sure why it doesn't have the Xiaomi logo on the plugs in the picture but it does say the model is a "xiaomi" one. I've ordered one to test it out but with the losses xiaomi make a year and their manufacturing power I can't see another company being in a position to copy their boards. At worst same factory without the xaomi stamp. Worth a go!

    • [Deactivated] on 01/09/2019 - 14:14

      Brand: R-Chioce.

      It's not a Xiaomi

        "Model NO.:Mi-1."

        Like I say not 100% sure but the specs and the look seem exactly the same. The only thing that loked different in the pictures is I couldn't see the "Mi" logo on the pictures. I'll wait for mine to arrive and compare it to my other mi 3 port to see if there'd be much difference.

        • [Deactivated] on 01/09/2019 - 14:37

          It's a Xiaomi lookalike just like this one: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/480706

          • H E B on 01/09/2019 - 14:48

            @[Deactivated]: Thanks for this. Maybe so. Either way there's no mention of "IGUGIG" anywhere. But I agree seems to be conflicting as it is confusing what is a Mi-1 and what is a R-Choice.

            The reviews and the copy was specifically for the IGUGIG. Review also didn't compare it between that and a real Mi board. If the Chinese are now copying each other products for a change I'm not sure how much worse it can go and if it'll be much worse than a 'genuine branded' mi powerboard.

            • H E B on 01/09/2019 - 14:50

              @H E B: Out of the 41 ebay reviews, only 1 real complaint - could be just a dud one or shoddy electrics at their outlet who knows.

    • asa79 on 01/09/2019 - 17:18

      Its a knock off product

      • philart on 01/09/2019 - 19:53

        The xiaomi is a knockout of the generic board or the other way around? It's obvious they all come out of the same factory in Shenzhen.

    Does this have an on/off switch? Tia :)

  • sasquire on 01/09/2019 - 17:21

    I've got about 6 of these, and I've noticed an electrical buzzing noise from all of them. Usually you can only hear it in a quiet room, but it can get annoying.
    Can confirm they don't internally switch off after power outage. My six socket one (Xiaomi) does.

  • i0k-0RU2zd10c on 01/09/2019 - 17:45

    No deal. There's a safety issue here.
    There are no insulation on the Active and Neutral pins of the plug.
    China plugs that didn't go through Australian certification usually don't have insulation on pins.

    Since 3 April 2005 insulated live pins have been mandatory for all plugs (and appliances with integral pins). Approval Certificates for items having non-insulated pins were cancelled on that date. In the interests of enhanced electrical safety and to ensure rapid dispersion into the marketplace, each Australian State and Territory and New Zealand Electrical Regulator required that all electrical equipment was supplied with insulated pin plugs, at all points of sale, by 3 April 2005.

      Switch the outlet off before you unplug it, or don’t.

          Nope.

          Presumably if you do, you wouldn’t leave power boards laying around either.

    • Bunsen on 01/09/2019 - 18:07

      100% agreed.. Not a deal when a person's safety is at risk. There's a good reason they insulate the active/neutral pins…

      • GregFiona on 05/09/2019 - 18:57

        What happens if you have an appliance made before 2005? You throw it in the bin?

          That's up to you…
