"Travel" charger is not approved for carry-on despite the product page claiming that it is. I had the charger taken off me by airport security and binned when travelling. Reached out to Snapwireless support to tell them their mistake and I just got a nice 15% discount off my next charger. Website not updated and still claims approved for carry-on.

Falls out of wall socket, tested in both Australia and Japan. Would not recommend.
I love this Universal Charger – My new favourite toy! Absolutely love this. It charges all the things at once and tells you how much battery life you have left. Also its great as we are going overseas and it has all of the adapters! Great for taking to the races when your phone battery dies!
3 in 1 charger is GARBAGE – Ordered with the wall plug, nothing charges, if it does its for couple seconds on and then off and so on, watch continuously falls off stand is it is angled and the magnetic hold from watch charger which is made to lay flat. Ive watched the videos and tutorials and for how much it cost im furious, i thought i found a solution i in fact found it just like every other one out there... absolute puss.
Purchased a 65w "universal" laptop charger and power bank, advertised as having passthrough mode. What snap don't mention in the flashy adds is the unit is incompatible with dell laptops due to charge backflow. It didn't work with 3 different laptops I tested (slow charge error or no charge error). Passthrough mode doesn't work under any… Read more
circumstance.
Thats fine - no worries so far, I'll use the 60 days return policy "designed to give you peace of mind". Unfortunately, Snap stubbornly insists their product is functional and it is Dell Laptops that are incompatible, therefore my request is a "change of mind" meaning I must pay return postage and (the best bit) have a 30% restocking fee deducted from my refund. This is despite Snap being aware of this problem with Dell and failing to provide consumers with any warning of the issue.
AVOID this product and avoid the company altogether in view of the laughable returns policy for products that don't work as advertised
I got three Powepacks at Christmas for the family and I as first traveller to use one went via New Zealand on first leg where it was packed in my suitcase and all was well. Domestic Flight in New Zealand, it was confiscated as a Power Bank, never even got to use it. So can't say I can recommend it, clearer warnings would of been good as wasnt even… Read more
aware it was a battery thought it was an adapter for different countries. The case is too big and bulky to take as carry on. Regretful purchase as expensive mistake. Check your airline requirements before travelling with this product.

Love these products I have bought a few items from snapwireless and I use all of them. No more worries about bringing lots of charging cords away, keeping everything to a minimum. Great website to navigate with really helpful 'how to' videos. I have just bought the car charger and my task today is to install. This will be a great addition.
Follow-up · oooh favourite product...impossible to answer as I use different products for different reasons. The Powerpack Universal 2 was perfect for being out and about hiking and needing to re-charge my phone whilst I was out and about. The car charger is perfect for being able to position it in the air vent and charge my phone if I am on a meeting whilst… Read more

This is just such a great item for travel and also for use at home. I’ve used it so many times and it charges all my devices. I’m very happy with this purchase.
Amazing So useful . I had got my daughter the previous version and so when I purchased the upgraded version I was proud to show off the new features . Handy size . Fast charging , cute colours . Highly recommend !
PowerBase 4 - 5 in 1 Charging Station Top quality charger. Love the versatility with the multiple charging points. Strong magnetic charging point. It was also very easy to travel with, love everything about it.

DO NOT BUY! Product arrived faulty and took weeks to get a replacement, had to send video after video of 'the fault'. Replacement arrived broken as well!! Took another 3 weeks to get a shipping return label. They use AI for customer support so kept getting asked to do the same thing over and over! Finally when I got a 'human' it still took weeks to get my refund. For the price paid the product was poor quality.
agree with what others have said. very slow response, initially (maybe all?) via AI. i bought a powerpack less than a year ago, and it already has less than 50% of its initial capacity. very disappointed. wouldn't purchase again.

Incredible slow response and then they sent out the wrong item, instead of the replacement of the faulty item I ordered. Every email takes around 3 days for a response is not good enough. Live chat is non-responsive, and misleading by stating it takes a minute to respond on their website. It is now almost 2 weeks, and I am still waiting for my item to be replaced.

Perfect for travelling home and abroad This new charger / power bank design is great. Once charged just seperate the top charging part from the battery to save space and go out sightseeing for the day. The ability to charge multiple devices at once is great when you get home and plug it into to the PowerPoint for the next days adventures. The retractable charging cord is a great addition when charging and using the phone at the same time.
As usual all Snap products are excellent and definitely worth the money. We’ve made a couple of purchases recently and they were well priced and the items look great too. It’s one of those scenarios where you get what you pay for.
Grabbed this to hold my iPhone when using wireless CarPlay. Works beautifully. Holds tight, rotates, quality charging adaptor which is slim. Holds the vent really well with the new design. Highly recommended.
The product seems like a great idea but the quality is not good. After a few time of use, when recharging the power bank, it stock on a certain percentage and not getting back to 100% Contact customer support, requests for a retun, no response.
Have bought several charges from them over the years. But unfortunately their customer service is terrible. Upon reporting that my nano keyring charger was faulty, supported by video evidence. They don’t respond.
I purchased 2 tags. And they are still in warranty till end December approx . 1 tag paired and the second will not . I can’t even reset it . I asked for support and I was told how to pair them . The instructions work for one not the other . Now second email And I’ve not received a response at all . Very disappointed with support . Have emailed … Read more
3rd time , again requesting support. They are under warranty and I would like them refunded /replaced .
My dock has stopped working properly after a year. It won’t charge and is beeping. Trying to get them to replace as it’s under warranty is a nightmare. [Name Removed] from their customer support team just keeps sending the same email over and over, absolutely useless.
Please be extremely wary of any promotions advertised by this company. I made a purchase (bigger than I should have because of their "promotion") that was completed at 10.01am (they advertised the first 10 purchasers after 10am would be reimbursed for their order). Not only was I not reimbursed, I contacted the company and they do not and will not… Read more
advertise the names of the people who win their promotions. Please put 2 and 2 together and be extremely wary of ANY company advertising promotions like this. Please also be EXTREMELY wary of purchasing the additional offers made at the checkout. You may end up paying substationally more than things are worth. Don't be sucked in like I was.

False Marketing. They have this Black Friday sale, and the bit that said First 10 orders will get a full refund. There was a countdown on their website so I did same on my phone but 5 minutes early so I can place my order as soon website opens up. I did my order exactly 2 minutes as soon they open and i got confirmation. It took money from account… Read more
and never get call or any sort of that I made one of the first 10 orders. Founders are based in SA, looks like this is a dirty scam and they just pick their close friends or relatives about this gimmick but come in guys you are deceiving customers with this false ad

Easy to use power pack This power pack holds a good amount of charge, enough to do my phone twice, and is easy to use. I like that it can charge two devices at once - I wish both USBC cables were extendable! Great for travel with the range of power adaptors
used to really like this product and, in fact, our family owned five Snap products. Unfortunately, my experience with the Power Pack Slim has been very disappointing. When I used it, it overheated my phone to the point that the phone itself shut down and stopped working. This happened twice, and I became too concerned to use it again. I lodged a… Read more
complaint with Snap, but it felt as though my concerns weren’t taken seriously. I was asked to charge the device again and provide photos of what was happening. Following their request caused further damage, and now my phone requires recharging every few minutes. I will likely need to purchase a new phone because of this.
Please be cautious—this product poses a real risk.
Purchased a travel bag tracker using I Phone "Find my" app. Simple process to set up. While traveling overseas the bag tracker required to be charged every 4th day. Despite product information stating 6 months? I have also used then returning to Australia with the same outcome. Will stay with my trusty Apple tracker
I'm happy with the quality & performance of the PowerPack Universal(bought 2 years ago) & PowerPack Mini(bought 5 months ago). Bought a Nano over a year ago which no longer holds charge but expected that deterioration of such a device. Bought 2 new Nano March-April this year & they don't hold charge at all. Completely unreliable & nothing like the… Read more
original Nano I bought. I received a replacement & it was just as poor quality. I asked for a refund & was given it but with no accountability by the company. Only received gaslighting lies about how this is how the Nano is supposed to work. After my experience with my original Nano, I know this is a lie. It's a shame the quality of this company's products have deteriorated so much. I do not recommmend them anymore.
I’ve been looking for a power bank for a while and couldn’t decide on which one would suit my needs. Then came across Snap, with the ability to charge multiple devices at the same time I was sold and to get a second one free was a bonus. It’s a nice sleek design and not bulky so can carry it in a bag when out and about. Recently used it out of the country and did exactly what it says on the box. Great product and quick delivery service.
Yet another fantastic product The power pack slim 2 pro is a little ripper , light efficient and quick charging A great travel companion for those of us who take a lot of photos and use up our phone battery quickly Great product thank you
Fabulous products & service. I recently purchased a 5 in 1 Snap Powerpack for overseas travel. It was just brilliant, charged our phones & headphones all at once. So practical. Comes in a great carry case with all adapters necessary. Loved it so much that on return I purchased a Powerpack Slim 2 Pro for daily use & hiking trips. This little… Read more
beauty packs a ripper punch. Elegant, easy to use & so handy. From the very minute I unboxed it, it has been indispensable & comes with me everywhere. Flawless.
