Beautiful with a charming dial, but slow and low capacity, so he would not carry it even at the same price.

A monstrous 300W power bank with the nicest display he has seen, earning a place on the setup.

A good attempt, but wireless charging wastes so much energy that it makes little sense as a travel power bank.

Triangular 24,000 mAh power bank with a nicely integrated display, let down by a frosted battery area.

Costs about four times a basic 20,000 mAh bank but is worth it for efficiency, 200W output and useful software.

He likes its built-in cables, but chose the plain power bank since you need your own cables anyway.

A power bank that doubles as a second screen, never arrived, and solves a problem nobody has.

A very high-spec power bank that sits at the centre of his charging setup, with a built-in speaker for finding it.

Survived a 5 m drop and only failed at 10 m, which he called a very respectable 9 out of 10.

A bargain 20,000mAh power bank with a display and bright torch, though slow charging.

A transparent power bank with 25,600mAh capacity and 100W output that he finds absolutely insane.
