INFINITE POWER!

Well - this beats the Steorn "development kit" at €399, eh?!

Went to Tesco Clarehall on Monday to get one, came home with the Pocket version - €3.95, happy me What was wierd was that of the 2 pegs they were on, one peg the price label said €3.95, the other said €9.95.

Anyway I then re-read the thread and found out there's better... so I got 2 of the better Instant version in Jervis St (there were about 2 Pocket and 3 Instant left at end-of-aisle facing the self-serve checkout as of 6pm), also scanning at €3.95 :-D

Was at B&Q yesterday and asked the customer service for a price on the Pocket version - €32.50!!She probably thought I was nuts when I started giggling to myself :pac:

This entire gaffe is testament to the fact that Tesco's pricing has been so far wide of the mark for so long that they don't even realise when something like this happens!

I probably won't be able to find the best Powerhouse version but nonetheless I'm chuffed, great lil presents. Thanks OP!

Got mine excellent bargin Tesco Waterford , thanks guys!

Hilarious lol :eek:

If I found something in tesco that was , approx 80% cheaper at the scanning machine, is it illegal for me to go through the self service isle and pay for it?

I done it today.

So what I really am enquiring into is , am I breaking any rules Yes or NO?

If I buy a lot of these products is it better to buy 1 or 2 at a time ? or buy a load and go to the "human" / lady register/

Sorry for being a bit 50/50 on this , but I would make a packet on it for Xmas, ( I am on Disability) so it would be very helpful for the new year.

Can anybody give me my rights!!! should I just keep it to myself.


I am shaking here as I never done anything wrong , (that I am aware of in my life) But I need the money.

If I get a specific genuine reply I will PM anybody who needs to know.

Again sorry for being so vague , but you know what I mean ... I hope.

Best regards.

I've used my 2-in-1 twice to charge my iPhone. It charges the iPhone to about 78% before it runs out of juice.

Is this about right? I thought it would charge the iPhone to 100% twice before running flat?????

Naw - it says "up to 1.2" for an iPhone 3G. I got about 75% on my iPhone 2G (which eats power)

Not sure why I bought this - it must have been the hype here:D:D, haven't even used it or probably won't!

Err yes? Thats kind of how you operate it, with the massive power button on the front there, see?

A load of USB devices use a different voltage to iPods and this thing wont charge them.
