Tired of your Heymix power adapter blowing up? Belkin's too expensive?

Maybe try a designed in Australia, made in China product this time. Comes with a 1 year back-to-base warranty.

Was $29, now a ticket item with $10 off at $19. Got it for $9 with my perks voucher.

USB-A + C ports: Charge your USB-A and USB-C powered devices together.
Rapid charge: 20W PD USB-C port + 3.0A USB-A port support fast charging to get your devices charged quickly.

      Are you expecting a 65W charger for $19?

      • HairyChickens on 08/06/2022 - 20:47

        Clearly Skele wants it to blow up

      • Klokan on 08/06/2022 - 14:57

        I guess It should. Good pick! Thank you seb. Just wish it was cheaper :-)

    If say the Braun (Aldi) ones on sale at moment for $12 would be a better bet.

    Easy returns if they end up been duds too.

    • INFIDEL on 08/06/2022 - 14:54

      Sign up for $10 voucher & go for this @$9!

      Why pay $3 more - for a generic cheapie that sell elsewhere for around $12??
      Mydeal or Kogan will deliver a similar generic one with QC3.0 for $12.95

      Aldi Doesn't even state QC3.0!, just 1 x USB-C and 1 x USB-A, 20W PD

      Seems you think the Bauhn (not Braun) ones will be duds🤔 So why buy!

      From my experience with Bauhn products, reviewing them, & being contacted by the supplier to help improve their quality control… you are likely to be right.
      I wouldn't trust those!

      Went on sale Saturday, has 1yr warranty, so keep the receipt!

      JB send you a copy of the receipt - which makes warranties easier.
      Got easy returns for JB purchases within 30d.

    The Samsung Super Charging needs to be 25W is that right?

    • ihfree on 08/06/2022 - 14:10

      Super fast charging requires PPS and a wattage of 25W or 45W depending on your phone

  • SuperMrBlob on 08/06/2022 - 14:25

    Has anyone used this before? Is it any good?

    • PleasureMachine on 08/06/2022 - 15:39

      Had it for a week. To use in the kitchen for my pixel 5.

      Unit seems to be quality.

      Not a comprehensive test. I'm just going by the text at bottom of phone screen. SoC 85%. Both ports reported 20-25mins to FULL.

      • The USB-C (PD 20W) port "rapid charges" my P5 with USB-C cable supplied with phone
      • The USB-A (QC 3.0) port only "charges" my P5 with USB-A to USB-C cable supplied with my pixel buds.

      Haven't used two devices at same time. I just need to get the right USB-C cable to utilise it.

      For $9 I am happy enough without being thrilled :)

    Why do much hate for the Heymix working great for me ?

  • jlien on 08/06/2022 - 15:38

    In what way was it designed in Australia?

    Did they engineer the components that compose it? Design the PCB layout? develop it? test it?

    Or did they pick it out of an alibaba catalogue and design the geko logo for it?

    Genuinely curious about the "designed in Australia"

    • INFIDEL on 08/06/2022 - 15:46

      Having advised a business that calls itself an "Australian Manufacturer" (supplying to Aldi)… Likely little.
      With that business, they chose the product from the manufacturer, added Aldi's Trademark, designed the manual & packaging, and firmware was tweaked here.

      Heymix is the only brand of charger posted here on a regular basis that has reviews involving smoke or fire.

      • Newman2000 on 09/06/2022 - 07:53

        Haha u sound a little obsessed with hating Heymix 😬

          Hopefully the message gets through to someone.

          I can understand your situation where you've bought pretty much every heymix charger and now you're in an extreme post purchase justification stage.

          Most other brands would more than likely be issuing a recall now given the issues I've seen across multiple heymix products.

  • Misha Bakunin on 08/06/2022 - 15:54

    Is gecko a decent quality brand?

      It's only OK as a charger @$9 for travel.
      Considering buying a higher powered charger.

      Fast charging mid-range phone on USB-C dropped to "very slow" (displayed on screen) as soon as fully charged phone was connected to USB.

    Guessing the manufacturer is the same as this one

    About the "Designed in Australia", did they mean the logo and brand? lol

    • dextertheboygenius on 08/06/2022 - 21:21

      Hey come on now, this QC connector is green, your one is orange! :D

        Have a chat with them, they can actually change it to whatever colour you wish :)

    • jlien on 09/06/2022 - 10:08

      Haha, I did think to look on alibaba if i could find one from the OEM. $0.60-$3.50 per unit.
      That gecko logo must be something.

      A$5.04ea
      Min purchase 2
      Shipping From $7.64
      Processing time 7 days
      Shipping Time 12-17 days

      So about $18 for 2 & long wait!

      Only wanted 1. Bought this for $9 - ready to pick up same day.
      And much easier returns & warranty

    • Levene on 09/07/2022 - 21:35

      To be fair that's not the same charger or manufacturer but yes the Gecko is made in China. The most important thing is Gecko chargers are certified to meet AUS/NZ safety standards. A house in our street burned to the ground, the fire was started by a generic Chinese USB charger. Many chargers made in the PRC display symbols e.g. CE, ROHS, SAA, CB etc. But they're more often than not fake they have never been certified by any of these organizations. If they were certified by so many organizations it would increase the purchase price significantly. For the charger advertised on alibaba I only checked the SAA Approval Certificate but the approval number they provide: SAA-172627-EA does not relate to the charger they have advertised. They list in their specifications Input voltage and current: 100-240V/0.6A, output voltage and current: 9V/2A, 5V/3A, 12V/1.5A, 9V/2.22A but not one of the SAA approvals using the reference number they provide match these specifications (very suspicious and deceptive) I can only assume all of their certification documentation are forgeries or do not relate to the charger advertised.
