On sale is the 3rd generation of the Xiaomi Mi Power Strip that's been popular over the years. These support AU/CN/US/EU power plugs making them good for those with international power adapters. It also has a single USB-C port with 20W USB Power Delivery (new to this model) and 2 USB ports with Qualcomm Quick Charge. It also has overload and short circuit protection.

The plug uses the CN 3 pin type that's similar to the AU plug without insulation. If you're not needing a powerboard with international plugs then this isn't the deal for you.

    similar to the AU plug without insulation.

    Are you saying it is not earthed ?

      Hi jv!

      Are you saying it is not earthed ?

      It's earthed (the middle prong is the earthing prong)

      Just that the positive and negative prongs do not have insulation/paint on them.

      Not really an issue unless you have tiny fingers that can slip in between the plug and the powerpoint.

      Also, this technically doesn't comply with Australian standards because of that.

      Older powerboards/extension cords did not have this insulation either.

      According to this website, the insulation requirement (for complying with australian standards) came into effect on the 3rd of April, 2005

      Insulated pins example:

      Plug-pack with insulated pins.
      Plug with insulated pins.

      Not-insulated pins example:

      Plug-pack without insulated pins.
      Plug without insulated pins.

          Xiaomi makes excellent products, I have two of the older Xiaomi powerstrips and they've been excellent, especially useful when travelling as well (you can do 1 travel adapter to allow this powerboard to connect, and everything else connect to this)

      You'll likely find the international pins more useful than you expected, depending how much you shop online and potentially (grey) import. I am in need of a second or third one of these.

      You could change the plug. This is Australia though so you'll just need to complete a 3 hour plug top replacement course first… oh after you've completed your test and tag course that is. But hey at least you don't need to become an electrician.

          Google "plug top replacement course" and you'll find quite a few, some are online courses. Looks like most are between $160 to $200 mark, but the pre-requisite is having completed a test and tag course that is around $500.

      • skillet on 08/12/2021 - 10:56
        +2

        What's the point of the course, it's still not AU compliant. Just go Bunnings buy the plug, and replace it and crossfingers it doesn't catch fire then all is good.

        • bamzero on 08/12/2021 - 13:09
          +2

          Xiaomi does make decent gear at least. I'd probably trust it more than some of the cheap "AU compliant" power boards sold here that get approved and then are made for an absolute minimum cost (ie like these recalls.) and it definitely has to be safer than using those dodgy adaptors they supply with foreign chargers etc with sloppy connectors that arc when they move.

          This Xiaomi seems pretty solid, 1.0mm2 cable (instead of 0.75mm2 on most), looks pretty well built inside.

    • nfr on 08/12/2021 - 08:13

      It's actually good when you want the power strip above the wall power point.

  • shiny1 on 08/12/2021 - 00:53

    • netsurfer on 08/12/2021 - 00:59
      +2

      Good pickup, forgot to check.

      When you use more than 2 USB ports, the max is 15.5W
      When only 1 USB-A port is in use (and USB-C port is not in use), at most 18W on that USB-A port.
      When only the USB-C port is in use, at most 20W.

      Knowing that it is the typical single chipset design, managed to resist buying now.

    I have to agree with jv. This is good for taking onto your trip to burn NZ down.
    All my flaship phones get the very original charger made by the same maker.
    I am very picky when it comes to earth and good mains connections that are firm and solid, with double insulation.

    • Clear on 08/12/2021 - 09:24

      I'm surprised there hasn't been more house burning comments. Used to be heaps back in the day that it found itself in a Big Man Scotty video.

      Of course no one back then could actually prove it had burned down a house.

  • JPerez on 08/12/2021 - 09:00

    The product does not comply with Australian standards (as per @cwongtech's comment) and may cause injury/accidents.

      I think a warning about the risks of plugs not insulated would suffice. Something cwong summarised very well (small fingers). Someone last night had reported the deal as being "Inappropriate/illegal" but that's not the case.

      The product does not comply with Australian standards (as per @cwongtech's comment) and may cause injury/accidents.

      That would also apply to almost every other grey import/non-australian plug for electronics
      As per my comment above, it's a relatively new standard (started in 2005)

      As long as this is not being sold by an Australian company that claims it complies, I think this does not need to be negged.

      In my opinion I think as long as the "does not comply with standards" disclosure has been made, then it's fine.

      Personally I have two older Xiaomi Power Strips (that do not comply) and have been awesome powerboards!

      There's a reason we have Australian standards to abide by.

      If we look at how insulated prongs may prevent electrocution to people trying to forcefully stick thin strips of metal in between a male plug and the socket (obviously hasn't been fully plugged in yet), we can see it's really to prevent stupid people and perhaps curious children

      I think they're a little overprotective in my opinion.

          Just scare campaigns by insurance companies really

          There was some other member on OzBargain in the past who was quite vocal about Australian standards and the C tick
          I think they had a store that was selling electronics (thus.. they wanted to introduce some scare mongering?)

          Insurance normally talks about DIY electrical work (fair enough)
          https://www.youi.com.au/youi-news/will-diy-electrical-work-a…

          But unless every single appliance in a home has been tested and tagged every year like an office, hard to enforce.
          https://www.doesitcomply.com.au/who_is_liable_contractors.ph…

          It appears to stop contractors from using dodgy non-compliant parts when working (which is a good thing)
          But we're consumers, and we're professionals

          Rather than being concerned about the little bit of rubber/paint on the prongs, I'd be much more concerned about the actual quality of the component..
