While often in awe of the snazziest, shiniest cutting-edge tech and gadgets, sometimes it’s the most simple, convenient, and clever gadgets that deserve our attention. Anything that can save you time, hassle, and money is a win in our books, so we’ve highlighted 5 awesome gadgets you didn’t know existed that bring a little extra convenience to your life.
Multitasker miracle: Baseus Blade Digital Display Quick Charge Power Bank
Price: R1,999
With South Africa’s now-trademark loadshedding and power cuts, having backup power options is crucial. While everyone has a little lamp or power bank to keep their phones alive, not many have something that can give your phone and laptop the jump start they needs. The Baseus Blade is a 20,000mAh unit that can power up your laptop, smartphone, and other devices using its 100W fast-charging capability. Additionally, it includes 2 Type-C inputs and outputs, as well as 2 USB outputs, so you can charge up to 4 USB-powered devices simultaneously. It includes a small LCD screen to show the battery capacity left in the device, and its slim design (only 0.7 inches thick) makes it easy to slip into your laptop bag or backpack with ease.
Dust Might: Baseus A2pro Car Vacuum Cleaner
Price: R999
Whether it’s some cookie-dust or a few random fluffs in the car from man’s best friend, everyone has a little something to be cleaned out of their car. The Baseus A2pro Car Vacuum Cleaner is a pint-sized, battery-powered vacuum that you can keep, charge, and operate in your car with no fuss, allowing you to suck up any unwanted debris, crumbs, or small bits and pieces in your vehicle.
A Literal Lifesaver: Baseus Sharp Tool Safety Hammer
Price: R179
Another little vehicle gadget, this one is more of a life-saver, quite literally. The Baseus Sharp Tool Safety Hammer is designed to be kept in your car and used in case of an emergency, such as a situation where you need to sever your seatbelt or smash a window. The one side features a window-breaking hammer while the other is a stainless steel seat belt cutter. It also comes bundled with a base bracket, so you can click it into a spot on your car that’s easy to reach and in plain sight.
Smart Solution: Baseus Super Energy Air Series 12V DC and USB Car Jump Starter
Price: R1,499
Much like the safety hammer (above), having a portable jump-starter these days is not only encouraged, but necessary. If your car battery dies and you find yourself stranded, not only is it a security risk but you can also risk damaging your vehicle by jumping your car using another car’s battery. The Baseus Super Energy Air Series works virtually for almost all vehicles that have a 12V battery, allowing you to provide the power to jump-start your car and get you back on the road. Additionally, you can utilize this device as a power bank too to keep your devices juiced-up while on the go.
Elevated Audio: Baseus Eli Sport 1 Open Ear Headphones
Price: TBC
Designed for the active lifestyle, Baseus’ Eli Sport 1 Open Ear Headphones are a must for any jogger, gym-goer, or those who need to remain aware of their surroundings. The non-in-ear design mitigates wearing discomfort while allowing you to hear your surroundings for your safety during exercising, driving, and working. It also features IPX4 waterproof level so you can wear them in light rain or during a sweaty workout session. While the stable and flexible fit is a key feature, the sound quality is also paramount too, as the Eli Sport 1 includes two 16.2 mm drivers to deliver some punchy sound.
