I'm thinking of purchasing the Romoss sense 4 mini or the Romoss Ares 10 but I don't know if they are good quality. The reviews on Takealot don't really help much. Any advice is appreciated.

Genuine ones are fantastic but there are a load of fakes out there.

If sold directly by takealot then should be fine but if it's a third party seller don't risk it.

I'm happy with mine. It's the one power bank I have that I can use while it charges.
@Dan C can vouch for them too I believe.

Which model do you have?
What is the size of your phone's battery?
How many charges do you get?
How long have you had your's for?

I have the LT20 20000mah unit. It's heavy, can charge my Samsung A70 5x. Holds the charge and reliable. Takes long to charge even with a quality fast charger.

Any other recommendations on affordable power banks in ZA?
Superfly, LDNIO, Ultra-Link and Rocka may be options?

I'll purchase it from Takealot but also make sure to check the authenticity. Romoss has an article all about fakes.

Actually a better word would be real life performance.
Like the amount of charges and so on

Can't say exactly unfortunately.
Don't think I've ever charged my phone on the bank from zero to full and definitely not multiple times on one full bank

I estimate I should get two charges on my phone though.
Phone has a 4200mah battery.

The romoss served me much better than a Samsung fast charging unit I bought around the same time.
Sammy folded in less than a year.

My phone has a 3200mAh battery so that's fantastic news.
