Just posting this to see if anyone else is interest in a potential bargain on a 8800mAh power bank.
Went into my local Officeworks (Hobart, TAS) and these were either incorrectly labelled or heavily reduced. Either way I bought two for $60 instead o $130. So if you're looking out for one it might be worth a try, thanks..
Mod: Updated link to Officeworks site, black is available for $30 on clearance (not silver which OP obtained).
Did the same for me, plenty left on shelf, happy that it is dual port and 2.1A and 1A. Cheers OP
STORE in title
Seems the Officeworks the OP has gone to has wrongly reduced the Silver colour to $30 where it should be the Black only for $30
Why would anyone care about the colour of it?
red ones charge faster
You do know the red shirts are the first to get killed?
You're not married, are you?
Married yes, pussy whipped no.
Thanks for the fix, mid.
Can't say I didn't try..
Who is mid ?
mod…
For about that price you can get a Xiaomi 10,000 from Mushtato http://www.mushtato.com.au/
I have a Xiaomi 16000 and love it.
CONCURRED! Xiaomi definitely the best one out there! Tried one and never looked back. The good thing about Xiaomi it can also do pass-through charging. So convenient during travel
Hopefully XiaoMi gets onto QC2.0 then I would buy another one… Awesome when you can charge so bloody quick so you don't have to hold onto the powerbank as long.
What is QC 2.0?
dual charger 1A and 2.1A ??
10000mah, no
16000mah, yes
ah thanks, $20 more then :)
Got a few powerbanks, wished they would start mainstreaming QC2.0 powerbanks.
Yeah I figured there would be a cheaper one somewhere online but I'm leaving the country on Tuesday so it's not really an option unfortunately.
I tried to get a Comsol 6600mAh power bank a couple of days ago ($20) at Dee Why Officeworks. Supposedly there's 5 in stock, but the sales assistant couldn't find them. He spent forever looking for them, before I could finally get out of there (empty handed).
It wasn't on the shelf at my store. Found them at the front counter suprisingly, when I went to pay for something.
It wasn't on the shelf, it wasn't out the back, & after using the biggest ladder ever (more like a staircase), it wasn't in the multitude of boxes on the walls. Probably was at the front counter, about the only place we didn't check :P
That's ok, I got an Anker PowerCore 15600 mAh instead (which gets great reviews), for around 30 bucks (as I'll be in the UK soon).
did you get the anker powercore for ow??? and you paid $30???
No, amazon.co.uk, as I'll be in the UK in a few weeks. Yeah, they're crazy expensive here :/
anyone used this model before ?
very likely…
just wondering if this is a reliable power bank as I am traveling soon and need one
You can try it before you go… Easy to return stuff at OW if it doesn't meet your expectations…
OP was it http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/comsol-8800… ?
If so seems Black is cheap, Silver is not for the same device. Seems they are selling off old Comsol Power Packs, personally got a 2200mAh for $1 because they only had 1 colour left.
EDIT: Seems the Officeworks the OP has gone to has wrongly reduced the Silver colour to $30 where it should be the Black only for $30
