Charge your handheld devices wirelessly! Powermat Review & Giveaway!

Thursday, March 18, 2010
The minute I saw the Powermat in Best Buy I was in awe. How does it do it? It charges your handheld devices wirelessly! So cool! No more tangles of cords and trying to find five different chargers for all of the devices you need to charge. Powermat has it all in one place and it looks sleek and clean and organized. You can charge up to 3 devices at one time.

The Home and Office mat comes fully equipped with the Powercube Universal Receiver-the ultimate adapter solution that can charge 1,000s of devices including Kindles, eReaders, digital Kodak cameras, Bluetooth headsets, handheld game players, many many cell phone brands and models and more. The Powercube replaces all of those individual power adapters and allows you to charge them all with a single solution.

Charge everything in one place. The Home & Office Mat can charge 3 Powermat-enabled devices at the same time, as fast as, or faster than with the original adapter. A fourth device can charged via the USB port on the rear of the Mat.

Each Powermat includes 8 tips to charge tons of different devices. You simply change the tips with the Powercube and you have a charger without having to search for several different chargers for different devices. It is very easy to use. We also found that now when friends come over and find their cell phone batteries dying we have a charger to charge it for them! We couldn't do that before.


When my husband heard they had Case Receiver for the iPhone (which I have) he was jealous that they didn't make one for his phone yet. The Case Receiver allows you to just place your phone on the mat and charge it without connecting the powercube or tips to it. It is so cool! You just plop it on the Powermat and the magnetic attraction pulls it on and it sounds to let you know it is correctly placed. There is also a small light at each of the 3 places on the mat that lights up to let you know the device is correctly placed and charging. They carry a number of other receivers as well including Blackberry and Nintendo DS as well as others.

A magnetic attraction between every Receiver and each access point on every Mat assures that alignment is precise and the most efficient charging will occur. This is one of the keys to the Powermat system’s ability to charge your devices as fast or faster than the original power adaptor.



For those of you on the go there is also a Portable Powermat which is very cool. It works the same as the Home and Office Mat but it folds up small and fits into the case it comes with so it is perfect for traveling.

Powermat was developed to promote convenience among business travelers, families, students, office workers and anyone who utilizes multiple electronic devices. Powermat power supplies are universal and work from 100-240VAC.

Communication between the Mat and the Receiver (via RFID) allows the mat to deliver an exact amount of power for the proper length of time so that the transfer of power is safe and efficient and no energy is wasted. When a device reaches full charge, power is shut off to that device to save energy. Once full power is achieved and the Auto Shut Off has occurred to save energy, the system will monitor the status of the battery in your device. If the battery is used, the system will again initiate charging and return the battery to a full charge.

See how nice it folds up? Very convenient for on the go!

You can buy all of Powermat's products on their site as well as Target, Best Buy and other retailers listed HERE. Both the Home & Office Powermat and the Portable Powermat retail for $99.99. The iPhone receiver retails for $39.99. You can check out a video and more information on their site.


Win! Powermat is giving one lucky reader their choice of either the Home and Office Powermat or the Portable Powermat RV $99.99!!!


This giveaway has ended. Congrats to the winner:

While I'm sorry you made a mistake, it is also so good to know a "giveaway blogger" makes mistakes too. My blog is just a diary with mistakes and periods of long abscence. (Lots of fun though)

I learned:
“The vision of Powermat is very simple. Let’s say 5 years from today when you go to Barcelona to the GSM show, you go to your hotel room, and you will expect to charge your laptop without any cords by placing it on the table.” “Poliakine says the key to Powermat’s technology lies in this small chip, which took years and millions of dollars to develop. It’s called adaptive ASIC technology or A squared. Powermat is betting it will banish power cords to the rubbish bin.”
