Hi all,
I was in hunt for a mini Powerbank to keep in my car and found this deal. It is showing up as a limited time deal and I'm not sure when it's going to be expired. $12.75 is too sweet for me.
Heymix is a familiar name to me as I have bought a couple of their products in the past and never had any issues. Have a great weekend!!

              @boomslung: Sure they have. But lots of heymix devices have failed. And people have opened them up and seen they are missing basic safety features you get on other chargers. You get what you pay for.

              If people want to buy them, that is their call, but I wish people would stop posting this junk. heymix or another junk brands are always on special. You don't see me posting 50% off Scanpan specials every ducking day.

                Thanks for confirming your bias. Do you have personal experience of this failure or just parroting old posts?

                Its cheap battery storage. Does what it says on the tin. Spend more if you want to preserve your precious electronics that you will discard in 3-4 years. Otherwise spend triple on the same so you can discard it in 5 years instead of 2.

      Should get a solar one for camping. No knowing how long you'll be there sometimes with no way to recharge the charger. Leave it out during the day, recharge phones and stuff during the night. Handiest thing to have when camping, solar powered tech recharger.

      I wouldnt trust amazon reviews, especially on heymix products.

      So many reviews are people reviewing it straight out of box or after trying it once…and that doesnt include the fake reviews & reviews the seller gets removed.

      Want to know how heymix products are? Just search ozbargain for "heymix" and check the comments

          then you haven't read enough of ozb.

          If you want to speed up your search, search for keywords like "Heymix" "pop" "fire" "sparked" "burn"

          Or, check out this comment from 2022, there are more cases that have happened between 2022 and now, so the list should be much bigger.

    Heymix products die so often, yet people keep buying them.

    • pizzaguy on 24/05/2024 - 16:44
      +1

      I don't really have first-hand experience, but either they don't die that often or people are lazy or too rich to request a refund, which would make Amazon/Heymix think twice by now.

      • whitepuma on 24/05/2024 - 17:41
        +2

        You sound very naive on this matter, clearly you haven't had first-hand experience. Many times the problem goes beyond what a refund would cover…..like the product exploding damaging things around it, or breaking the charge port on your device. Someone from first hand experience here…i got my refund, but you think that would cover any of the additional damages it causes?

        Imagine a $12.75 charger damaging your $500+ phone, the $12.75 charger doesn't seem like a good deal all of a sudden now ey.

      One of my early 65W 1x USB-C and USB-A Heymix chargers has been going strong for years. It seems the successors to that model were all explosive.

    • littlesoldier on 24/05/2024 - 23:04
      +3

      not sure what "so often" being defined
      my personal experiences of owning 4 x 65w adapters, 1 x 22.5w adapter, 3 x travel adapters and 2 x 100w desktop charger (and more…)
      none of them have issue so far (finger cross)
      (Here is my amazon order history as a first hand user proof: https://ibb.co/R0KBkCH https://ibb.co/CHDTh24)

      Just to note that the desktop charger I am using it daily, charging ipad and a 3-in-1 magsafe charger
      while the other adapters mainly use outside home for work / travel

      In terms of QC of heymix
      I just feel that heymix is simply a "rebrand" of OEM products from china instead of design and manufacturing themselves
      so quality wise some of their products might have higher failure rate than others (depends on which OEM company they bought them from)
      basically this is similar to most cheaper brands that can be found in Kmart or Bunnings, they are all just a rebrand products from china

      • whitepuma on 25/05/2024 - 06:25
        +7

        Well aren't you a little soldier coming back with proof.

        basically this is similar to most cheaper brands that can be found in Kmart or Bunnings

        I completely disagree with this, Kmart & bunnings (even their cheaper brands), all follow Australian electrical standards….These heymix products on the other hand do not. I wouldn't be surprised if they just stamp the CE logo on it without actually getting it tested or certified here.

        Now it's great that you have had 10 with no issues, but that doesn't mean their safe, and it doesn't change the experience other Ozb are having, all you need is 1 of those to damage your smart phone or laptop for those "savings" to go down the drain, that's not including any damage to the property its used in….but i would question why you keep buying them if their not having trouble, subscribe & save might be a great option for you.

        Now, would you like the Qualitative, Quantitative or personal professional experience for proof

        Qualitative:
        Check out this incredible writeup by ToobsAU on a heymix product, there is no chance this would follow australian safety or electrical standards if it were tested.
        Writeup of teardown
        Photos of teardown

        Quantitative:
        This is a compilation of just SOME experiences from OZb's from 2022 by ihfree, this doesn't include others that fell through the cracks or anything after 2022.
        Compilation of comments

        Personal professional experience
        I'm electrical test & tag certified and can legally test, pass, and fail any single and 3 phase device. I had an IT guy at my workplace a couple of years ago order a box of 50 of heymix chargers (i can't remember the exact model, but they looked very similar to the 65w adapter you have shown). It was my job to certify them before letting the business use them….Now although they all passed the visual inspection (doesn't involve opening the device up), every, and i mean EVERY one of them didn't pass (immediate fail on the appliance tester) and accordingly failed the test & tag process. They all had to be dumped and our workplace wouldn't be allowed to plug them in, otherwise we risk damages that insurance wouldn't cover (because they failed test & tag). Should also note…..Just because a device looks like its fine, and works when it's plugged in, doesn't mean its electrically safe.
        We now have a ban on all heymix devices in our workplace.

          1. Heymix does have models getting Australia certifications, https://ibb.co/nR6x2tJ
            Searchable via https://www.erac.gov.au/equipment/certification-of-equipment…

          2. Following Australian electrical standards doesn't means they are bullet proof for safety, there are many factors causing risk of fires
            https://au.news.yahoo.com/kmart-charger-almost-starts-fire-i…
            https://www.kidspot.com.au/parenting/i-had-to-rush-my-baby-t…

          3. For the box of 50 of heymix chargers, if they are all the same model, what you can prove is just that model has a design failure in terms of safety, this doesn't means all models have the same issue

          4. As said, Heymix is just rebranding OEM products from China, unless you are doing a tear down to every single model, you can't just say tearing down a powerboard means all Heymix models are risky.

          At the end, consumer make their own choice in buying products. Your judgement of me buying multiple Heymix products because they fails is simply wrong, none of my chargers / adapters have issues, I just need them because they fit my different purposes (some in office, some at home, some in suitcase for travel)

          I make a similar comment on a BYD post in OZB last week, there are BYD cars self burned every single month in china, but they are still selling EVs in Australia.

            @littlesoldier: ok, so if my previous comment, with all the evidence i provided, with actual test & tag test results, as well as 1st hand experience from people on here, as well as a tear down wright up with images doesn't convince you….then i'm afraid nothing is going to convince you.

            for your safety, I hope you prove me wrong and your discounted heymix products never cause a fire. all the best.

            • littlesoldier on 26/05/2024 - 11:26

              @whitepuma: Thanks for your advice
              I never said Heymix product are safe, just saying they have shown Australia certifications, and I have no issues in using them so far

              As you mention your expertise is to do electrical test & tag certifying products
              Do you mind if I send you some heymix items that you can do electrical test
              create a proper test report and share to the OZB community?

              I dont mind if you tear them down and create videos on them
              A proper test report is way better than just showing reviews from amazon or a teardown video of a powerboard
              as people also mentions that amazon reviews can be fake (both positive and negative reviews)
              I believe this will benefit and convince everyone not to buy the unsafe product
              And for those who bought it, we can supply a refund request from amazon due to safety issue

              • whitepuma on 26/05/2024 - 12:06

                @littlesoldier: i can't, and if i'm being completely honest i don't want to. The amount of evidence i have provided so far is MORE than enough to keep myself and many others away from this brand. Also, the test and tag equipment is located at, owned by, and only for use by my workplace, not allowed for personal use and like i said, ban on heymix products. If you want to do it yourself, buy the test and tag equipment, it will cost over $1000 for a good one, with a course to become test and tag certified costing about $500.

                Otherwise, If you want an example of what a "test report" from one of these devices would look like for free, please see the link to the photos from earlier, ToobsAU is also using a test and tagging device. Usually it's as simple as "pass/fail". Also, although i am test and tag qualified, i am not a licensed electrician and me doing a teardown will not be helpful.

                Please keep in mind though that the only thing these devices test are:
                Earth continuity test
                Insulation test
                Polarity test (ext leads + IEC leads)
                Current leakage
                RCD test (Time, Current, Ramp 10mA, 30mA) - fixed RCD CATII from GPO only
                Meter mode
                Mains Power Voltage and correct wiring

                It DOESN'T test the quality of the build inside, if fuses are in the right spots, if the inside adheres to australian standards, if solder joints are good, etc.

                If you really want it tested properly with a valid report out, you might want to approach an electrical engineer to see what tests they can perform (And what they can tell you from a teardown), however i can't imagine that wouldnt be free or cheap.

        In this case, the unreverent fire comments above are even less useful. Any better reliable reviews and sources?

        The guy in the video says he couldn't find his 1-star review while there's a 1-star review left by others on that product lol. Has he been trying to contact Amazon to know why the cause? He does make plenty of personal opinions based on assumptions but not much of the in-death research and testing in a wide range of products. The question is do you trust a youtuber when some of them are just making videos for money?

        When you leave a review on Amazon and you see your review there, is that real or fake?

          The question is do you trust a youtuber when some of them are just making videos for money?

          To answer that question,
          Short answer: i trust louis rossman

          Long answer:
          i trust louis rossman. Hes been a strong advocate for RTR,he started the repair preservation group, he has testified in multiple repair hearings and publicly shows any documentation and evidence he has…..hes not just a youtuber.

          Yes he is vocal, yes his language can be very blunt, and sometimes offensive, but he isnt just some youtuber in it for the money. Often his videos get demonitized for the language and targets of his videos, he doesnt need the money he has a very successful computer repair shop.

            @whitepuma: Sorry I don't know him enough. All I described was based on my quick view through the link you offered.

            I agree there are fake products on Amazon and more on Amazon US. Everyone can sell on Amazon so. For the fake comments, it's possible but I think no one is confident proving that. Why? Because they don't have the data.

            However, I can confirm I left a review before and it's real. If you say my review is not useful then well I'd say bot comments are everywhere here and there these days.

              @Bii: No worries, refer to my other comments on this deal with links as to why this product (and other heymix products) should be avoided

                @whitepuma: May I ask what measure you use for the testing and which parameters fail the test? It could help when I open it up.

                Heymix does mention the safety certificate. If they fake the certificate, are there any laws behind this?

                I might avoid it if I am a vulnerable user, however, I am ok for the price.

                  There are many things, not simple enough for me to explain here. You can test & tag it using an appliance tester, such as earth continuity test, insulation test, polarity test, current leakage test and more. Then if taking it apart you could check other thing like solder joint, fuses in the right places, appropriate surge protection, following usb standards, and much more (there is a whole industry in testing electrical equipment and safety, you're not going to learn it all from a comment on ozbargain).

                  If they fake the certificate, are there any laws behind this?

                  Speak to a lawyer about that. And good luck trying to get a small Chinese company to adhere to any Aussie legal requests.

                  I might avoid it if I am a vulnerable user, however, I am ok for the price.

                  Read the issues linked in my other comments…the price isn't the problem, they could be giving these away for free, i still wouldn't use it out of fear of the damage it would cause to me, the devices it connects to, or the building it's in.

                  • Bii on 25/05/2024 - 22:25

                    @whitepuma: They won't give for free. Amazon still promotes and sells Heymix despite fire comment trend on OzB.

                      @Bii: …i don't think your understanding me….their not worth $12, their not worth $0

                      • Bii on 25/05/2024 - 23:34

                        @whitepuma: Amazon wouldn't hear it. They still do their business. Heymix is still one of the popular products on Amazon.

                    The importer (who has to be an Australian registered company or individual) is the one liable for ensuring it meets Australian standards.

                    Amazon doesn't give company details but there is a Heymix company registered in Australia.

                    Of course they may be a Chinese company selling from a custom bonded warehouse on Australia soil, which makes the buyer the importer, and they are therefore liable for ensuring the product they imported meets Australian standards. Blame our terrible customs laws for making that possible…

                    • whitepuma on 26/05/2024 - 07:19

                      @Prong: Like…i did also say speak to a lawyer.

                      Im not a legal expert, and i dont need to do all the work for you lot.

                      • Prong on 26/05/2024 - 08:57

                        @whitepuma: I'm not sure I follow what you mean sorry.

                        I'm saying the situation is worse than just potentially having to fruitlessly chase a company based in China.

                        Many items you can buy that are physically in Australia and delivered as soon as next day are actually in custom bonded warehouses. This means it's the same as buying products internationally - the purchaser is the importer and is responsible for ensuring the goods meet Australia standards.

                        So if equipment is damaged or people are injured, then the purchaser is the one liable.

                        If you buy from a brand with an Australian company as the importer, then that company is the one liable.

                        I don't know if this or other Heymix products are sold by an international company or a local importer.
