    And the Anker 737 just went from $92 to $197 in less than 2 hours. Very impressive!
  • @mortem-tyrannis
    This is probably the most useful channel on YouTube, honest, to the point with no bs, and quality information on everday items people actually use. Thank you sir for all the work and info you put out.
  • @acemobile9806
    You know what's crazy Todd? I've got half a dozen of these things laying around that I find in U-Haul trucks when I work on them. We contact the customers about them but they don't wanna be bothered coming back to retrieve them so finders keepers.... You're quickly approaching "national treasure" status. Got my vote! 🍻
  • @DeedlyDood
    Electrical engineer here. I have tested every product and charging cable I've bought over the years off Amazon. INIU is the brand I've found most consistent and performs well for the price point. All of my charging cables are INIU. Nice to see the results reflected here as well. I was going to add the bit about capacity but I see someone else has covered that. "Doman Stuff"
  • @petersquatch
    I would love to see a comparison of lunch boxes. Which one is the most durable, keeps food cold the best, etc. Can't use our tools on the job if we're not fueled up at lunch!
  • @dfgatorfan
    Biggest takeaway from this one is how shady and misleading these popup companies are with their capacity ratings, knowing most people will never know. Thanks for the tests!
  • @ztca142
    I've been looking for a review of those larger banks that you can take with you camping that aren't gas powered. They have at least 1 full 120/240 W outlit. I don't even know what they are called, and i'm blind so it's hard to sort through search results that aren't relavent. I find these video's incredibly helpful, and i'm sure so many others agree. Keep it up and have a good one. Cheers :)
  • @GreggBB
    Yes, would love to see a review of larger power banks! Thank you for creating exceptional objective looks at so many different products---fantastic content and provides great information everyone can make use of
  • @sulektronics
    The fact that you have an actual impact on the whole MARKET of a product is mind blowing. Well done! You could become your own testing agency and develop your own seal of approval for products haha. I'm shocked at how not even one power bank you tested reached its advertised rating. What's worst is that a lot of them barely even came close. If that isn't some false advertising, I don't know what is!
  • @enonek2960
    I'd love to see a comparison of larger portable power banks. Also a comparison of small solar chargers. I'd really like to see just how efficient they are.
  • Your channel is the most scientific and practical channel I have ever seen. The testing and comparing methods used are pretty ingenious and meticulous. Thank you for the efforts. Could you please compare the friction of tyres with different patterns? This is very helpful in selecting tyre replacements that suit different conditions like rain, sand, sludge and factors like hydroplaning, braking distance etc.
  • @tehdudester
    Hello. It's been awhile for me. :) I was watching you back in the days of all the lawn mower fun and oil/additives tests! It's awesome to see you're into more categories now! I've needed a good charger for awhile. I'll have to get one of these.
  • @josephward9148
    Anker’s had a decent reputation for a while, but I’ve had good luck with Baseus and INIU recently and it was cool to see how they did. I’d love to see a second roundup, perhaps with a couple UGREEN models—they seem to be high quality and I’d be interested in how they stack up. Thanks for your work, kind sir!
  • @GenghisKhanrad
    Happy to see even someone as keen and precise as you manages to get the orientation of a USB-A plug wrong. I feel validated.
  • @ChemicalSoldier
    Thank you for doing this video. Recently discovered my battery bank stopped working while traveling and you just saved me so much time! I always trust your reviews, have made several purchases based on your recommendations. Subscriber for life! You're doing great!
  • @rsj-gl5lu
    I love your channel. Anytime I'm looking for something, I look for your videos. I went with the INIU B61. I also bought a portable tire inflator and a car starter power bank. Have used both and they worked great. Thanks for the great time and effort and thought you put into your videos.
  • @jerrymeetsworld
    It's really wild to see so many power banks producing <50% of rated capacity. It'd be neat to see a table of grams per actual Wh
  • @lexgso5141
    Love what you did here... I have been testing power banks and batteries on sites like TEMU and AliExpress and leaving feedback, trying to save people money because of false advertising. Thank you so much for helping people avoid the scams, I really wish this kind of false advertising was illegal. Looking forward to your next video.
  • @Komainu959
    I was going to go buy one and then realized...there are a TON of them on the market. Can I suggest a test of Emergency Window Breaker for your car, with I think ease of use to break the glass being the most important since lots of us want one more for our loved ones and parents/grandparents. Appreciate everything you do on this channel!
  • This is an amazing video. I had strong feelings about power bank brands before this video that were more or less completely changed by the actual results. If you want to do any more videos on Power Banks, different price range or feature set I am 100% here for it. thank you!
