Looking for a power bank with USB-C Power Delivery? Look no further!
I was looking to purchase a power bank with USB-C PD to use with my iPhone, as well as QC3.0 for other devices. A lot of the other power banks that offer PD are much higher in price, and there aren’t too many that are supply at least 30W power output. Saw the Omars and decided to give it a try.Cost – 9/10This is one of the cheapest power banks that offers USB-C PD (up to 45W) as well as quick charge 3.0. It also supports USB-C 30W input for quick recharging.Contents – 7/10In the box you’ll receive the power bank, a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB A to micro USB (with a USB C adapter). The addition of a micro USB with the USB-C adapter is nice as if you have devices that support both you can use the single cable when connected through a USB A female port. Unfortunately, there isn’t a pouch included to hold the power bank and cables inside.Build Quality – 8/10So far, the built quality seems to be quite good. The main body has a matte finish which makes it easy to handle. This is important as it’s a fairly big power bank, so you don’t want a glossy surface that then becomes slippery and easy to drop. Only time will tell how well the materials hold up.Portability – 8/10If you are looking for the most portability, the 10000mAh model is more up your alley. The 20000mAh weighs 318g and for the capacity its quite light, but with dimensions of 171mm x 102mm x 16mm it’s far from pocket friendly. If you’re purchasing this to charge a larger device like a tablet, laptop, MacBook or a Nintendo Switch then the slim profile will make it easy to slip into the pocket of a carry case.Power Bank Charging – 8/10The initial charge took just over 12 hours, using a QC3.0 adapter. The power bank supports 30W USB-C input; so, assuming you don’t already have one, you’ll want to invest in a USB-C PD adapter that delivers at least 30W of power. This will reduce the charging time by about 50%. When using a 30W PD adapter, the power bank was able to charge in fully in under 6 hours. For the 20000mAh capacity, this is very impressive.Device Charging – 7/10The Omars power bank features 2 USB A ports (18W and 10.5W) and a USB-C PD (45W) port. I purchased this with the intent of fast charging an iPhone XS Max. Using an Apple branded lightning to USB-C cable and the USB-C PD port on the power bank, charging from below 10% up to 50% took a mere 20 minutes! Comparing this to using a standard USB 3.0 port, the time savings are great. This is especially beneficial for those of use that have phones without a separate headphone jack as charging on the go is less likely to be a nuisance if you also wish to plug in. I was able to charge my iPhone XS Max (3174mAh) from 20% to full a total of 5 times. This indicates a usable capacity of around 67% (roughly 12500mAh) of what is stated. This is a shame as an 8000 mAh difference is quite significant.Pros:- Not too heavy: for the size it’s quite light so it won’t add much to a backpack or handbag.- Multiple outputs: The power bank has both USB A and USB-C ports for all your charging needs.- Very cheap: For the price, you’re getting a 20000mAh power bank that supports QC 3.0 and 45W USB-C PD. A lot of features for the money.- Fast charge times: Using the Power Delivery on this power bank works very well. Charging a 3174mAh iPhone XS Max from below 10% to 50% took only 20 minutes. Charging the devices itself is also quick but you have to buy an appropriate adapter.Cons:- Unlike the 10000mAh version, this does not show a battery percentage but 4 linking LEDs. Gauging the capacity will be slightly more difficult but you’ll eventually get used to it.- No pouch: having a small carry case to travel with the power bank and cables would be ideal but unfortunately one isn’t included.- The usable battery capacity is significantly less than what is stated. 12000mAh rather than 20000mAh.Summary – 8/10Overall this is a great quality Power Bank that offers fast charging through USB-C PD. For smartphones you'll get a good 4-6 full charges depending on the battery capacity. Be sure to purchase a 30W (minimum) USB-C PD adapter in order to fast charge the power bank and use it to its fullest potential. The major downside is the low usable capacity. This will be more noticeable when charging larger devices like laptops, tablets or a Nintendo switch. For smartphones, you will still get a good number of charges before having to recharge. All in all, I would recommend this Power bank for anyone that needs USB-C Power Delivery.

Great for charging a MacBook Pro
It’s a big battery compared with phone charging equivalents of the same size, but comes into its own when you charge a MacBook Pro. If you just want one to charge a phone, get a smaller one. If you want to charge a usb c charged device which requires a lot of power, then this is for you

One of the better ones
Unlike some cheaper ones with higher capacity, this will serve as a laptop battery at full speed, which is ultimately fantastic for me, plus its half the price of some of the others out there at 45w and above. Im thinking of a second one so I can. keep this with my MacBook Pro, shame there isn't a loyalty discount as id also buy one for the kids for their travels. it is a little larger than an average battery but it is also thin and you can charge while using, plus it isn't just full of rechargeable aa batteries. The case is nice to hold and the colour is actually quite 👍

Worked great.... and then stopped.
Worked great to charge my Hp envy X360. gets pretty damn hot but whatever it works. Was able to charge it with the battery bank to about 70-90% while using the laptop.2 weeks later. I have charged my laptop 3 times with this battery bank and now it if you plug it in to charge back up nothing happens. if you hold the power check button nothing happens. if you plug something into it nothing happens. no blue leds. no green leds. nothing. £31.44 i paid, was quite happy with that but id suggest paying the few ££ extra on a better brand even if its a lower rating of 30w PD.

Excellent
So far so good, charges up quickly using USB 3 port and charged my laptop (HP Spectre 13 pro ) quickly as well.

Omar's Power Bank
Charges quickly via USB C but only charged my Samsung Galaxy S10 4 times before the power bank was empty..

Assured Power...
This is my second of this power bank... The first died for reasons I don't know. That said I could not find an alternate that provided the flexibility and connectivity. The ability to charge my MacBook 12", iPad and iPhone whilst out and about without having to carry around multiple cables and power blocks; let alone find power points is liberating!

Nope
Takes ages to charge and doesn’t work with iPad or iPhone. Can’t be bothered to go to the post office and return it so will just trash it. Avoid.
