datAshur Personal2 USB Drive Review
datAshur Personal2 USB Drive Review The datAshur® Personal 2 USB 3.0 Flash Drive is a flash drive with a big difference to others.

NTONPOWER 13A Compact Surge Protector with 5 USB Ports Review
NTONPOWER 13A Compact Surge Protector with 5 USB Ports Review When we have a lot of people round, we tend to start running out of USB sockets and plug, as everyone wants to charge their device. So I was happy to see a 3-pin plug and USB combo, which allows 5 people to charge via USB and another 6 to charge with a 3-Pin plug. Thanks to the 13A rating, it can handle a total load of around 3250W wit...[Read More]
Review: Orico USB 3.0 4-Port Transparent Hub
If you’re like me you can never have too many USB ports on your PC, so it makes sense to plug in a hub like this which will turn one port into 4. Coming in a small cardboard box, this square-shaped hub has a transparent plastic shell so you can see it’s circuit board innards. There are four USB 3.0 ports along the top, while on one edge there’s both a standard Micro USB power input port and ...[Read More]
Review: Romoss Upower 10000mAh Power Bank
Most of the power banks we review at DroidHorizon need recharged from a separate USB wall charger, but this Upower model is more travel-friendly as it includes an integrated AC plug. With distinctive styling similar to one of those impact resistant suitcases, it comes with a “passport” instruction leaflet and “boarding pass” warranty card. You also get a short Micro USB cable and a UK wall adapter...[Read More]
Review: EasyAcc 4” USB Mini Desktop Fan
A fan can really help you cool down when you’re too hot, but most battery operated fans aren’t that great. They tend to eat through batteries and don’t generate that much breeze. This fan is powered directly from a standard USB port on your computer, charger or power bank. This flexibility means you’ll always find somewhere to plug it in – typically to devices with huge batteries than have n...[Read More]
Review: Bestek’s surge protector/charging station
Sold by Bestek, I’ve recently spent some time charging some of my portable devices on one of their surge protector units that can also power multiple devices. It’s akin to the power strips that seem ubiquitous these days, only it’s vastly different in it’s shape. Having run several tests on it, it seems to perform as designed, from what I can tell. The unit is a somewhat ...[Read More]

Review: iClever BoostCube Dual USB Wall Charger (UK)
This compact wall charger extends straight out from a UK wall socket by a couple of inches, and has Dual USB output ports on the end. The adapter is well made with quality connectors and a lot less bulky than a lot of similar chargers on the market. It also has a blue LED indicator at the front to let you know when it’s powered up. Each USB port is capable of 5V 2.4A output, but there’s no support...[Read More]

It is very power efficient running on only 3W of electricity, and comes with an instruction leaflet and a USB charging cable.

Review: Askborg ChargeCube M021 20800mAh Power Bank

Inside the cardboard box along with the battery itself you get an instruction leaflet and a Micro USB charging cable.
