Description:
Power strips is a life necessity in everyday life, but not everyone likes it (taking up too mush space or looks ugly). When people are becoming accustomed to all its shortcomings, our team began to think about how to change and improve it. Three self-adaption 1A/2A USB charging ports are added to the strip. By using high quality materials, customizing the core components and optimizing the structure, finally it makes 50% smaller than the normal strips. Concise and delicate as ornaments of your house. 
Main Features: 
XiaoMi Power Strip with sleek white design, as slim as pencil case
3 power sockets and 3 USB ports with 2A quick charging function

    Not sure if this is Australian Approved..I think I Would Steer Clear Of This One

      If you mean the voltage range, these is no need to worry about. 100 to 220V full voltage range is OK in Australia

      • effgee on 28/04/2015 - 00:00

        no, he means meeting Australian safety standards.
        You did read about the girl in Sydney that died by being electrocuted by her non-compliant iphone charger ?
        Many cheap imports have less than 1mm separation between 5V and 240 lines in their devices..which is why/how they kill people.

  • iridiumstem on 27/04/2015 - 13:48

    100 to 220V full voltage range

    I thought Australian voltage ranges from 220v to 240v?

      Its simply saying that you can use it anywhere in the world.

      Probably better to buy http://www.jaycar.com.au/Power-Products-Electrical/Distribut… instead.

      • iridiumstem on 27/04/2015 - 13:55

        but Australian voltage is over that range. Wouldn't that cause problem?

        The new Standard stipulates a nominal 230V, and the allowable voltage to the customer’s point of supply is, as mentioned, +10% to –6%. However, the preferred operating range is +6% to –2%.

        From http://electricalconnection.com.au/when-voltage-varies

        Or is 100v to 220v just conventional way to write "it includes all the voltage around the world"?

      • hotwinter on 27/04/2015 - 16:28

        The quality of Jaycar's one seem not in the same league of Xiaomi's.

        • 51722 on 27/04/2015 - 16:58

          That is true… However, it will have the required approvals. That't the only reason I suggested it.

          As much as I like Xiaomi products, I think I'd be hesistant on getting something like this. Xiaomi have never officially released any products in Australia nor Everbuying is a company that is based in Australia. How should we know if the product, while it being unlikely, doesn't meet the Australian standard?

    • Associatedeverbuying @ Everbuying on 27/04/2015 - 15:45

      Hi, 100 to 220V full voltage range is OK in Australia, won't cause any problem

  • battler on 27/04/2015 - 13:49

    US plug, so need adapter

    • bdl on 27/04/2015 - 14:12

      If Chinese only won't it have an (upside down) Australian plug? see: http://en.miui.com/thread-102707-1-1.html and http://www.xiaomirumors.com/2015/04/02/hands-on-xiaomis-powe…

      • Darkscythe on 27/04/2015 - 14:15

        Apparently the Chinese pins are slightly longer so they won't fit into Australian sockets fully.

        • battler on 27/04/2015 - 14:26

          Item description on the link is pretty clear about this…

          "XiaoMi Multi-functional Power Strip 3 1A / 2A USB Port + 3 AC 100 - 240V Sockets for Smartphone Tablet PC Computer Home Electronics (US Plug)"

        • [Deactivated] on 27/04/2015 - 15:37

          Yeah it's a US plug, so it won't fit without an adaptor
          Secondly, chinese plugs fit in, they're just a tad longer, but the wall sockets general don't have a bottom that the plug will hit when inserted anyway. But even if they didn they'd stillmake contact with the pins

      yes, but we will provide the adapter for free.

    Those safety door thingies always give me problems whenever I want to jam my prong in the socket. Take so much effort to push it through.

    • battler on 27/04/2015 - 14:47

      looking at the layout, you don't need to use those doors.

  • flyingmouse on 27/04/2015 - 14:08

    It sold in China for 49RMB, about 10.06AUD

    Is A3Australia still around? He'd love this :)

  • richy_o on 27/04/2015 - 16:29

    Highly, highly doubt that it is resistant to 750 degrees, unless it's made of steel… would steer well clear of this, house fire waiting to happen..

  • diazepam on 27/04/2015 - 17:21

    the australian standard is that it has plastic insulation on the inner tips on the fire and neutral prongs of the AC plugs incase you jab your finger there while youre plugging it in…
    does this have that?

    Totally ILLEGAL TO OFFER FOR SALE in this country.

    Powerboards are a high risk, declared article. They CANNOT be sold here unless tested, approved AND certified.

    Furthermore, the sale of socket outlets that don't meet AU Plug standards (eg: US Plugs) is also technically illegal.

    • OzBen on 27/04/2015 - 18:32

      i.e. This will void insurance - home, contents, life, … - should anything untoward happen?

        This will void insurance - home, contents, life, … - should anything untoward happen?

        If they work out what caused it.

        You would personally be in for a world of grief of there ws a safety incident, and it is mandatory that such things get reported by Ambulance, Fire Dept, etc.

        I have been involved in these investigations a couple of times after product failures, and it is NOT pleasant - and we had the necessry approvals, etc.

        If you imported such a thing and it failed and a family member was killed, would that make it worth the price?

    • bdl on 27/04/2015 - 18:41

      does that mean a lot of the "cheap" powerboards at $2 shops should be avoided too?

      • seanbaussie on 27/04/2015 - 22:19

        If they don't have the tick then yes. But then they should be reported as their seller is breaking the law.

        • bdl on 27/04/2015 - 22:27

          ok thanks, good to know

      • llama on 01/05/2015 - 11:27

        does that mean a lot of the "cheap" powerboards at $2 shops should be avoided too?

        They are either approved, or they aren't approved. It's a simpleas that.

        The $2 store ones (Sanli etc brands) will almost certainly be approved and certified. Anything that YOU import definitely will not be certified, because the importer is who is responsible.

        The quaity is something separate - the $2 store powerboards are usually absolute shit, and this one might be better quaity, but that is not the point…. it's the fact that the safely has been tested and verified by an accredited laboratory, AND that those test reports have been lodged with a Certifier AND that there is a formal record of who is responsible for all safety related issues, that the product matches the original specs, etc. All such electrical devices must be "traceable" to the importer or other responsible person.

    Has no Australian approvals, does not conform to the voltage levels in Australia and the plug does not appear to meet Australian Standards.

    Both photos don't seem to show any insulation on the active and neutral pins and the earth pin doesn't appear to be longer.

    Cheers, been looking for a US outlet board for ages, surely it would be safer than my piece of shit ebay AU to US adapters that crackle when they are plugged in. The the 'fancy slim plug' might disappear for a bunnings plug

  • dalealford on 28/04/2015 - 09:51

    mains voltage coming into our UPS at work recently was floating around at about 270 volts for a few months.
    Bastard UPS kept waking me up in the middle of the night telling me about it.
    Nothing i could do until SPAustnet fixed it .
    And that took ages, as they wanted to monitor it first for a while.
    We now have power factor correction devices on out incoming mains. Never gonna happen again.

    I'd be wary of anything like this board.
    as has been said 240 +- 10% is quite normal and accepted.
    Something only 'certified' for 220 is a risk, and again if it hasnt been certified here, highly illegal.

    Cheers,
    Dale

    • llama on 01/05/2015 - 11:33

      We now have power factor correction devices on out incoming mains. Never gonna happen again.

      Power Factor has nothing to do with voltage, so that's not going to solve anything.

      Your excess voltages would have been either a dropped phase (causing the netural to pull away from 0V and make your phase go about nominal 240V) or the tapping on the local trasnformer is set too high.

      The nominal voltage is 240V +/-10% which means 216V to 264V, and products are only tested to 264V unless requested higher. Many parts of Melbourne get surges (like yours) that go higher than that, and that can cause all manner of dramas for electronic devices…. it is enough to xcause many surge protectors to partially conduct, overheat and fail.

      • stewy on 04/06/2015 - 20:57

        Voltage rise can certainly be caused by embedded generation that is supplying real power without also supplying reactive power (as is the case with domestic solar) which can push the voltage on a line higher than a transformers output.

        The Australian Standard for the nominal voltage is also 230V -6% / + 10%.
