The heatwave we had this summer was never going to last but it was great having a really hot summer for a change. My little girl really enjoyed herself with an even more active social life than I do. There were birthday parties to pool parties to BBQs to even a road trip to Wales. I cannot think of anything else a little girl would want. Now that September is here and the myriad of activities have stopped, for the time being, I thought this would be a great time to write a review of the product that made our 2019 summer holiday extra special. What product is this you may ask? Well it is none other than the POW Mo™ EXPANDABLE WIRELESS SPEAKER + UNIVERSAL MOUNT & WALLET which was gifted to me.
What is the POW Mo™ EXPANDABLE WIRELESS SPEAKER + UNIVERSAL MOUNT?
According to the manufacturer, the POW Mo™ is the first release in their lineup of WaveBloom™ enhanced speakers.

How did I use the POW Mo™ EXPANDABLE WIRELESS SPEAKER over our 2019 summer holiday?
Whilst having our own summer BBQ at home, I thought it was the perfect time to use the POW Mo™ speaker for the first time. Whenever I put my android phone on speaker in the garden previously, the sound did not carry enough for us to truly enjoy the song that was being played. So I was eager to see if this speaker would make any difference.
Pros of the POW Mo™ speaker
- POW Mo™ speaker came with a USB cable which I connected to a wall charger head and was fully charged in less than 2 hours
- It was pretty straightforward to connect the POW Mo™ speaker to my android phone via Bluetooth.
- After you connect the POW Mo™ speaker to your device the first time, you don’t need to do so ever again. Simply activate Bluetooth on your device, turn on your POW Mo™ speaker and voila it connects automatically and plays a welcome message.
- This little speaker should NOT be underestimated for even one second. Just thinking about the POW Mo™ speaker is giving me goosebumps. The clarity of the sound is out of this world (when compared to my android phone speakers). When I used it, it sounded like I had a large surround sound system. It even has that thumping sound you would get from proper speakers. Seriously, my review cannot do this speaker justice.
- My POW Mo™ speaker is on my fridge, so it takes up ZERO valuable space.
- After the first charge, I didn’t use the POW Mo™ speaker for about a week. When I turned it on, there was still enough charge to last the 30 minutes I used it with no sign that the built-in battery was about to run out
Cons of the POW Mo™ speaker
- It did not come with a wall charger
- I’ve not been able to figure out how to use the POW WALLET or rather I don’t know what it’s for. There were two of them included in the box
- There’s no battery life indicator
- I found it impossible to expand the speaker, so can’t comment on if it enhances the sound
CONCLUSION
If you do not already have regular speakers at home or you are considering a buying a new one, I totally recommend you give the POW Mo™ speaker a try. Having this speaker has made doing housework enjoyable. I give this POW Mo™ speaker 9/10. I have never received a gift that gave me goosebumps before.

POST UPDATE: Further to my review, I have since gotten further details about the POW Mo™ speaker from the manufacturer:
- Whilst there is no visual indicator the POW Mo™ speaker does deliver a brief sonic notification, during playback, that it needs to be charged. I am yet to get this sonic notification, probably because I do not use the speaker every day
- With regards to expanding the speaker, It’s easiest if you ‘angle’ one side then the other. I did try this method and was able to expand it
- With regards to the two attachments that I didn’t know what they were used, you can use the wallet, along with the magnetic attachment, to store bank cards, some notes, etc
I love this POW Mo™ speaker. I think sound quality will be great.
