Cygnett is an Australian brand found in most AU and NZ electronics stores, with local support and a wide range. Its power banks have a poor recent safety record: the MagMove 5K was recalled in 2024 after fires and injuries, and the MagSlim 5K in 2026. Its chargers and cables are unremarkable but fine.
