Maybe Aukey don't pay HUKD for the referral :wink:

Agree totally with this, I've given up posting recently as the overzealous mods seem to pull deals for the fun of it these days...shame really. It certainly feels like there's some kind of "pay and display" type promotion going on in the background with certain so called deals.

I posted this an hour ago and it was pulled by "magicjay1986"
The mods believe Aukey self promote ... go figure! Deal was fulfilled by Amazon, with a market place supplier and the mods deny the opportunity for HUKDers to benefit. I must have missed something along the way since I joined in 2007 or maybe pragmatism is a dirty word nowadays. Ah well .. Happy New Year!!

Especially when hukd allow self promotion with some companies, maybe they pay commission?

Bought one, gotta be worth a shot at that price !!:smile:

dubious to the quality of these to whether they can be relied on for car starting. As someone mentioned before, a lot of the reviews on there do look suspicious, eg P.Mason where the majority all of his reviews are of aukey products

As I said, I bought this the other day. Not tested yet, but, I charged it up from 2 indicator lights to 4 and it took some time. Hopefully that means it has some capacity.

I bought this last week....it is epic!!!
Very high quality packaging, product is great and it works!

I used one of these for the first time yesterday, bought one 3 months back for my Mazda as the battery kept dyingm however ended up getting a battery anyway.

Still, used it on my mother's Nissan Micra yesterday and was great.
Attach wires, turn over engine for 5 or so second and it started. Granted that's a 1.2, I'd be very skeptical using it on a 5l...

posted a deal for a carphone warehouse sandisk memory card a whileeee back and got jumped on by modmozelle ( a mod) , told her I had nothing to do with the product and told her what my occupation was ( has abso-nothing to do with memcards).I don't think she believed me though

Seems a great deal for the price

I really need one of these for a 3.6.. that or a new battery, constantly have the thing on charge :disappointed:

OT but this post reminds me, I was a long time lurker, signed up to post a deal a couple of years back and was instantly banned for "self promotion" when I blatantly had nothing to do with the product (dog blankets etc).

Really silly,

​Fire up most gasoline engines with a 12V battery and an engine displacement below 5L, comes with everything you need for charging and recharging

Not sure if true?

Bought this the other day. Did not post, saw someone else post then it was pulled. Been delivered and looks good, nicely presented. Not tried yet which is obviously important.

regular price on eBay is around £18 so a bit of a saving.

It hasn't been true since at least 2008 which is when my newest username was registered. It's VDisillusioned because I had previously abandoned the site, which I had been registered on since 2004, because it was obvious the quoted ethos of the site was BS and certain retailers were clearly being promoted and deals from rival companies were being deleted. (That and it was obvious certain mods were not deleting racist comments whilst deleting the comments of people flaming them for it - fortunately that seems to have disappeared) When I came back, a few months later, the same old manipulation was going on, hence my user name. I guess it still does, though perhaps not as clumsily as back then.

It's not that I mind it being done so much, but I really don't like HUKD pretending to be a "community site" run purely for the benefit of it's users when in reality it is hard nosed commercial banging out money for the owners.

That said Aukey do seem to be masters of review manipulation and self-promotion - how many of their Amazon reviews are actually from "verified purchases"?

don't need one but still got one...

I posted this Sunday morning after buying on Saturday evening - post was bounced by mods.

Arrived yesterday, seems a reasonable bit of kit and worth keeping in the car especially at this time of year

Bought one, seems a bargain to me

This seems far too cheap for what it is. I'm very tempted to order but very sceptical, has anyone tried it?

Thanks to all the OP's :smiley:

​Thanks, 400 will start a 2.5ltr diesel? Mmmmm.........?

Gets me how some Amazon reviewers give 5 stars to these things whilst admitting they haven't yet tried to start their car with one.

What's the peak ampage on this? Anyone know?

Great deal and thanks to the poster.

Cheers op ordered, the bic deal was a bonus!

Wow 34 minutes and not pulled, must be a record for an aukey product!

Quote "HotUKDeals.com was founded in August 2004 as a place for consumers to freely share deal tips, voucher codes and other consumer information. The purpose of the site is to escape from the marketing messages and ads that surround us and get genuine advice from other people about hot deals. " It would seem that in 2017 this no longer holds true.
Thanks for "carrying the torch" Boyee.

ordered, thanks op

Bargain, have ordered, thanks to op and others who tried to post! :smile:

Very good price

This seems silly cheap for what it is. Though some stats on the jump start power would help.

Must be to pay for the owners champagne lifestyle :smiley:

Had a aukey 4 port car charger with quick charge for £2.99 a couple of months ago. Loads of members missed out though, because it was pulled in minutes.

tbh if it's genuinely a good deal can't see the problem of self promoting. Must be issues with the referral then.

Maybe Aukey don't pay HUKD for the referral :wink:

Thanks, I'll get one for my wife.

She's always asking the next door neighbour for a jump!

BarginMad has just had this deal pulled. The mods believe Aukey self promote which maybe they do but this deal was being promoted by a member since 2007. It seems like a good deal for the benefit of all members so why cant they just let it be. Worth a go Boyee.

Aukey is generally good kit. Maybe they've been engaging in self promotion

Ordered, thanks.

Yep I got some iPad charging cables from them and the charge faster than apple cables and cost £5.99 for 2 delivered.
Go figure.

Why are they banned?

Why does this keep getting posted and spammed?
