Not convinced… dunno… I wonder about all the great 4 and 5 star VINE reviews on Amazon that received the product for free… same with the other website (basically imported all the Vine reviews).
Then I see “other buying options” as the only way to purchase or compare the price on these things on Amazon, which may mean that they no longer carry this item…
Things that make you go HMMMMM…
I am happy with the 65W 20Ah power packs sold here earlier. They’re not sold on Amazon anymore because they’re on close-out, which is Meh’s “thing”. Maybe a new model coming out, maybe they over produced, who knows? It’s our gain.
Prolly in for a pair. Also, if they come bsck around, they’ll have tariffs priced in and inflation priced in.
@markmeltzer Time to battle with @sinimsdp! When I researched these prior to buying, I had a really hard time finding any adapter that would allow for 65W in both ports simultaneously.
@markmeltzer@sinimsdp@troy Not to mention, these days, when you buy those cheap “alphabet soup”- branded gadgets on Amazon, you’re playing housefire roulette.
I priced these out and their not bad. Cheaper items will definitely not provide what they claim and similarly priced items only usually give you 1 port that provides significant power. 2 at 65w will be good. I’ll be testing it, though.
On the one hand that matches the value I saw in one of the amazon review pictures
On the other hand that picture was for a different model number, and there’s no record of the model number meh is selling passing UL testing
Maybe it’s the same as the one that actually passed testing but has a different model number, but even if not the fact they went through testing with one device means it probably won’t burn my house down?

This is good, I can’t have enough of these. Now I just need 60 Watt portable chargers so that these charger blocks can really be utilized.
I love this Charger!
@somf69 This one?
@ircon96 @somf69 still holding out for a Challenger
@blandoon @somf69 Hellcat!
I need the forty bucks more than I need a couple of really good chargers. Must pass.
Eh, maybe next year.
@werehatrack Real af. Proud of you champ. I’m in the same boat
@user47336868 @werehatrack Me, too. Times are tough
I’m sold. Tell me how to buy this Buzzed Power Dispenser 5.0.

@mcemanuel i picked these up last time they were around- they’re a little bulky, but no complaints so far!
I just came by to say this exact same thing nothing instills confidence like all the reviews being vines

Way overpriced. The MSRP is truly hilarious. Hard pass.

That does it! I am skipping Meh today and shopping at Besosland.

Bought it last time it was on sale on meh.
So far, it’s going great.
It’s way cheaper than trying to find a macbook or a solder station charger with same output.
Ok, fine.

@chuegen It worked! Your order number is: persistent-steep-sand

@dpease It worked! Your order number is: forlorn-warlike-snow

Yeah, could use it. Also says comes with 2 cables.
/giphy unbecoming-handmade-sorcerer
I got em last time. The included cables were a plus. I’m really happy with them.
I bought a few for work (I’m the “hey I left my charger at home, could you…” guy there. They never come back).
Pretty dope little laptop charger. I keep one in my bag now.

I just splurged recently on my first fancy 140w charger to make sure my laptop didn’t ever lack. Now I’m getting 4 more for about the same price.
Can anyone who bought one of these before tell me if these have gone through third-party testing?
I need someone to check for a UL/ETL mark and give me the number if it’s there.

@mischif ETL stamp is on one of the photos:
OK MR. safetypants
Big charger clearly in the comments haha. I’m ok with my current ones still
Super tempting… but I’d rather wait until I’m trying to earn IRK credits in a future Mehrathon.
@steelopus iRK credits ain’t worth what they used to,
