Loadshedding has been a blight on our productivity, both at home and at the office. If you’re working on a laptop, you can power right through a 2-hour outage, but without access to the internet everything seems to move glacially slow.

The Gizzu 8800mAh Dual Router UPS is a simple and affordable gadget that keeps your broadband up when everything else is down.It’s effectively a large 8800mAh powerbank, but it comes with a set of cables and plugs to power any kind of internet access point (like a fibre point) and also your wifi router. Plug it into the wall plug and when the power shuts off it fails over to its battery so your zoom call, your email, browser and cloud documents all just keep working without interruption for nearly three hours.

Setup takes less than one minute and its money well spent to eliminate the stress and anxiety caused by internet outages during office hours.
