PRODUCT REVIEWS: POWEROCKS

If you have any, most, or all of the devices enumerated in the picture (Photo 1), you usually have “low bat” problems. You have issues on recharging your device/s especially when on the plane or in some places where there are no charging stations.

Having the said devices, I was always interested in portable chargers that kept my gadgets usable and my stored documents, photo, and video libraries accessible and available at all times. Power was always a key factor.

During the International CES 2013 in Las Vegas, Powerocks - known as creators of fashionable power banks, launched some mobile power products that sought to resolve the issues raised above.

Samples of the products were not available for review at the time so I could not test and write about them. But recently, Karen Thomas of the Thomas Public Relations - The #1 Award-Winning Public Relations Agency for Consumer Electronics, on behalf of Powerocks sent me an email stating that sample products were now available and was checking my interest in reviewing them.

Having shown some interest on my part, Karen immediately arranged for the delivery of the products. I received a couple of the products last week and have been using and testing them since then.

STONE 3

The Stone 3 has been quite useful to me – for my IPAD and my iPhones. It is lightweight, portable and small enough that I can hold it in the palm of my hand. It could easily fit in a briefcase, backpack and a purse. It is very powerful and a suitable companion when going on vacation, to work, to the gym, and anywhere you go on a daily basis.

Containing a rechargeable 7800Ah lithium ion battery, it is strong enough to charge my iPhone and iPAD simultaneously. It has a dual USB output allowing the charging of two devices at the same time.  It is compatible with Apple products and other universal Micro USB charging ports. It also uses clean and reusable power.

I love it! I highly recommend our readers to buy it!

MAGIC CUBE

Magic is also small (in fact, smaller) but quite powerful. I used it for charging my Kindle and my Android. It is rechargeable, very portable and of course, lightweight.  It has a large capacity (6000mAh) and has a built-in USB and Micro USB cables.

Like the Stone 3, it is also compatible with Apple products, cell phones, smartphones, and other digital devices such as Bluetooth headsets, cameras, GPS, tablets, and more depending on device charge requirements.

It is compact and with its size you can put it in your pocket, your purse, briefcase, backpack and hold it in your hand. It is very convenient to have it with you when traveling. It charges your tablet, eBook Reader, or other mobile devices safely and quickly. This is one battery that would not let you miss a call, or lose power in a meeting.

If you only bring one mobile device when going away, this is the companion rechargeable battery for you. The “Family Choice Awards” has recognized Magic Cube as one of the “Best in Children’s and Parenting Products”.

Buying it is recommended!
