Mixed reviews on this but thought it was worth sharing just for OzB comments alone.
All in One Travel Accessories Universal Adapter Type A/C/G Travel for EU, US, AU, UK, Japan, Bali, India
With one USB A, USB C port and an AC plugin, you can charge up to three devices at once.
CamelCamelCamel.
I only downvoted this comment and only because of "you's".
My oh my, my poor apple keyboard is plying tricks on me.
@willyroo: I vote yes for a distinct second person plural in English.
Maybe not youse.
Maybe youguys.
@Eeples: In this day and age, it's very brave of you to use such a strong masculine pronoun to encompass all sexes.
Stock up on travel insurance.
Stock up on home insurance
HOT deal !!!
HOT deal !!!
Are you buying it ?
Nope, I got the other one a couple of weeks back.
Fire sale prices!
With one USB A, USB C port and an AC plugin, you can charge up to three devices at once.
There are only two charging ports….
?
1 USB A, 1 USB C, AC plug.
AC plug is just a passthrough (120/240V), not for charging devices.
But you could plug a laptop charger into it.
So you can still charge 3 devices.
But you could plug a laptop charger into it.
you can plug that directly into the outlet.
Cool. Then you can charge four devices.
Or more, if you connect another power adaptor.
But then it's the other adaptor doing the charging, not this one.
This is just passing through the electricity.
@jv: This is a travel adapter.
You won't be able to plug your Australian power adapter directly into a US outlet. So you plug it into this travel adapter, hence charging up to three devices at once.
@jv: How do you need another travel adaptor?
If the room only has one power outlet and I plug this into the wall, I can then charge two devices via USB, and then use the passthrough to charge a laptop.
What do you think the USB outlets are doing? They're just passing electricity through too. The adaptor isn't charging your devices.
You seriously can't be that dense?
If the room only has one power outlet and I plug this into the wall, I can then charge two devices via USB, and then use the passthrough to charge a laptop
Or, instead of a laptop charger, you could plug in a TV, so it would be a two output charger that also runs a TV! Or maybe in a few months, you could connect your Christmas tree lights to it, and then it would be a two output charger with Christmas tree lights. The possibilities are infinite!
@jv: Why not just stack power boards out of the back of this baby, then the device count is based on load…. LOL
🔥 deal 🔥
what's the max output on the USBC am I blind or does it not mention it anywhere on the product page?
does it not mention it anywhere on the product page?
They are probably embarrassed by it…
If only you had the same self-dignity.
Something you are unfamiliar with…
Shown on one of the slides in the carousel just before the Comparison Chart - USB A is 5V/2.4A and USB C is 5V/3A.
cheers. Guess it's useless as a laptop charger then, oh well.
This was a good deal for a similar 65W (should be able to charge non-gaming laptops) charger:
HEYMIX is an esteemed brand
e-steamed
Hey don't need to downvote me! I am obviously not on team Heymix :D
10 bucks goes to landfill quicker
Make sure you bring a smoke alarm with you on your travels :D
am I missing any joke here? What's wrong with Heymix? I bought a charger from them years ago but everything is ok
Heymix devices will heat your hotel room alright!
My anecdote is that this brand blew my magsafe cable and/or the magsafe port on my laptop. After almost a year of working without problems.
And I realised this not when I woke up to a half-charged laptop, but a few minutes later when I plugged in my phone and started smelling smoke
People be like "I won't buy this dangeours item, and then go buy a LENCENT branded item instead.
Multiple reports of heymix almost burning the house down vs zero reports of lencent products doing the same. It makes sense.
If you need fast charging but don't want to pay a hundred bucks for 100w, this is pretty decent https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005687897000.html?spm=a2…
Just used the black version with 3xUSB-A and a USB-C for 3 months in UK, Europe and Asia.
Worked really nicely and DID NOT explode or break, just make sure to test all the ports when it arrives my phone wouldnt charge with the USB-C port so had to use a normal adapter plugged in. Otherwise highly reccomend.
Don't understand all the negative comments, seems like these are dangerous for whatever reason. I do need some adapters and these are well priced. Could someone clarify?
Some reviewers have suggested that they are significantly more likely to catch fire than brand name chargers.
But this is a brand name charger, HEYMIX is a genuine registered trademark, right between HAAJOORB and HUUCAY.
My Heymix charger exploded and tripped the circuit braker in the house. Very annoying when you're WFH and your house goes dark.
So… I suspect these other people bagging on heymix products also had similar experiences.
🔥 deal
i know heymix gets a bad rap, but surely this is better than the $2 ones you get from Asia? (the generic converters without the USB ports etc)
The generic power converters have less to go wrong with them. No electronics, no AD-DC conversion, just dumb bits of metal.
These 'smart' travel chargers have electronics and wobbly moving parts to convert to different types of socket.
If I'm travelling, I'll take a USB charger that comes with dedicated plates to swap to US/EU/whatever, and a laptop charger that takes a figure 8 IEC cord. Most the time the laptop charger will charge a phone so fast I don't need more than one USB out, and the multi port charger is just used for cheap micro-usb devices like ebook readers.
Noted, I usually bring one of those $2 adapters and a powerboard which is usually enough to power my electronics
Bad quality control with heymix
So risk is with buyer
Make sure your travel insurance has high public liability cover.
Things could go badly inside a crowded hostel.
I get all the downvotes and won’t buy this.
But is there a good quality product like this on the market? I am talking about one brick like this which covers almost the entire world with adapters and has got USB-C.
I can only find the versions where you need to disassemble the pins and switch on a different adapter for different countries , like the old MacBook plugs. But I am looking for a brick, just one single piece. Any ideas OZB fam?
I've been using this adapter for at least 5-6 years (can't recall the brand I've got but it's sold under a hundred different names, same green brick charger/adapter). Doesn't have quick charge or PD, but it works reliably and hasn't failed me yet. Seems to have consistently good reviews as well.

I think the alternative, quality wise, is a multi-USB charger from Anker or the like with a figure-8 cable that you can swap depending on country you'll be visiting.
Cheers. The one you sent looks like cheap quality as well.
And yeah, I know about the ones where you can swap the cable/plug. But I was looking for a brick that eliminates that. Suppose the product - good quality brick with QC - simply doesn’t exist (yet).
It's pretty sturdy, solid plastics and the USB ports are solid. It's got a sort of matte texture that feels quality. The sliding plug pins could maybe be more solid but I don't think you'll find any similar adapter with that many moving parts/plugs that doesn't have that issue since they're not physically attached to the device. Wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.
Use your laptop charger and match with a cable for the country you're visiting.
been using this brand form almost 10 yrs
okay minus 3 yrs because covid - no overseas travel
at least served the purpose for me to use my australia plug for ASIA & EUROPE business trip
maybe got lucky because got the good batch of their manufacturing
Recently use it for my holiday to south korea
been using this brand form almost 10 yrs
They've really been around that long?
I imagine they were using the original prototypes.
boom boom pow
I bought this from the previous super deal and the big issue I found was that the au plug doesn’t sit into the socket tight. It’s very loose
That's not good. A bad connection can mean arcing which can mean 🔥.
This is a travel adapter and doesn't look to have a proper Australian plug. It has a plug with uninsulated pins and is rotated 180 degrees which is the plug for China.
There is no such thing as a "Heymix Charger". They are all white labeled chargers manufactured by various factories in China. Heymix only imports them and slaps a label on them (not really, you just upload your logo and they are labeled at the factory). They don't do their own QC.
TL;DR: Regardless of which brand-of-the-month (Heymix, Lencent, Zyron, etc) you buy from, you are buying the same charger. If you are concerned, just go with a reputable brand such as Anker, Belkin etc. They fail too, but much less likely.
Just bought the black version last night $14 :( arrived already
Just in time for my flight booked via Firefly.
Currently I am using it in OS, no issues at all, working well. By the way I am in a place right now where the temperature is more than 31c, I did not see any heat on the adapter
Used it recently on my trips to Singapore and India.
I used it to charge two devices - a SurfacePro and an iPhone..
I used it non-stop for 30days with no problem.
Would buy it again..
Should have thrown in a free bag of marshmallows..
Amazon, if it burns your house down you'll at least get hte 9,99 back
Recived this morning. It's showing "USB output 5V 2.4A total"
Check out Zyron 66W GAN Travel Charger, with multi plugs and 100W USB C cable. Good quality and compact size.
Australian owned so the quality is pretty good.
I think it is still made in China?
