Under a tenner, and it fast charges
Let's be straight about what this is. INIU's little 10000mAh unit is not going to replace a premium Anker if you charge tablets all day. But for a backup you chuck in your coat pocket before leaving the house? Honestly, hard to argue with sub-ten-quid for 20W fast charging.
I had a similar power bank on me during a delayed train at Euston last year, battery at 4%, no plug socket in sight. That kind of situation is exactly what these are built for. The included USB-C cable is a nice touch too, saves the rummaging.
Who this actually suits
If you're buying this for a teenager who loses everything, a travel bag you want to keep topped up, or just a drawer emergency option, it makes proper sense. The built-in flashlight sounds gimmicky but it's genuinely handy on a camping trip or when the power goes out.
Who should skip it: anyone needing to charge a laptop, or someone who already owns a decent 20W+ bank. No need to double up.
One honest reservation
The brand isn't a household name, and with no listed original price it's hard to know if this is a deal or just a budget product sitting at its usual price. The community heat on HotUKDeals suggests people are happy enough, but manage expectations. Build quality will be functional rather than premium. At this price though, that's kind of the point.
