Absolutely terrible
Absolutely terrible, I was at the hospital with my son and needed to charge phone
I got a powerbank which I may add didn't fully charge it,
I put it back after a few hours before I left
Only to have £36 taken from my account
As if it's not stressful enough going to the hospital
Only to be conned out of money and at times like this, disgraceful

Dear Dawn,
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We're looking into what happened with your power bank return at the hospital while you were with your son.
Our system shows the power bank wasn't properly seated when returned, which is why the £36 charge appeared. We completely understand how stressful hospital visits are, and dealing with unexpected charges makes things even harder.
While we can't process a full refund when our system can't locate the device, we've already applied a £15 goodwill refund to your account to help ease the situation.
We're using your feedback to improve our stations - especially in sensitive locations like hospitals where customers may be under additional stress. We're working on making our return process more intuitive and adding clearer confirmation signals when devices are properly returned.
Let us know if you need any further assistance with this. Getting you sorted and back to what matters most is our priority. ⚡
Joos is a complete disgrace
Joos is a complete disgrace. The money that was arbitrarily deducted from my account has taken away from my enjoyment of the journey. I rented a power bank from the charging station at Manchester Shudehill Interchange bus station. 1 hour 20 minutes. I scanned my bank card and £36 was deducted from my account. Despite returning the device, the money has not been transferred to my account. I kindly ask you to resolve this issue. Otherwise, I would like you to know that I will be suing.

Dear Cihan,
Thanks for sharing your feedback about your Joos experience. We understand your frustration with the £36 holding deposit situation after your power bank rental at Manchester Shudehill Interchange.
We can see our team has already explained that the £36 was just a temporary authorisation hold that should be automatically released now that you've returned the power bank. While we immediately notify your bank when you return the device, the timing of when holds disappear varies depending on your bank's own processing schedule - something unfortunately outside our control. ⏱️
We're taking your feedback seriously and looking at ways to make our holding deposit system clearer for all customers. Many people aren't familiar with how authorisation holds work, and we need to communicate this better before rentals begin.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and are working on improving how we explain these temporary holds to prevent similar frustrations for future customers.
If you're still seeing issues with the hold, please let our support team know and they can provide additional documentation to help speed things up with your bank.
Shameless apathetic customer service
Shameless apathetic customer service. I live a 3 hour bus journey away and left the powerbank accidentally in a coffee shop. I messaged the customer service immediately and asked them time to return it in a weekend but they were on and on about how much revenue they will lose. As if every single one is in use every minute of the day. They showed zero value. They would receive it intact bur no. They have overcharged me 36£ for a powerbank that costs a mere 15-20£ anywhere else. Its the 10000mAH which hardly holds charge for 2 hours. I hate that they made me keep a an overpriced one and showed no value to customers. Will never use them again. The principles they operate on are greed. More than anything

Dear Nisha,
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We're looking into what happened with your power bank situation and understand your frustration about the £36 charge.
Here's where we're at right now: when power banks leave our network (like being left in a coffee shop), we can't remotely end rentals since we need to verify they've been safely returned to our system. Our regular rental service is designed to be affordable—less than £5 for an hour and a half charging—saving you from purchasing, remembering to recharge, and carrying your own power bank.
The higher non-return fee isn't about the device cost alone but ensures we can quickly replace missing units and keep the service running for everyone. When power banks aren't returned, our team needs to visit stations and replenish them so they're available for the next person in need.
We were glad to hear the coffee shop is keeping the power bank safe for you! During your chat with our support team, they explained that refunds can only be processed after the device is physically returned to a station, not before. This return-then-refund process is our standard approach for all customers.
Your feedback is helping us improve how we communicate about our policies, especially for customers facing logistics challenges. Let us know if you need anything else - we're here to help. 🔋
Daylight robbery
I changed my phone on one of their docking stations for 1hr on Saturday night. Yesterday (Monday) I got a charge for £3, which was expected. Today I have received another charge of £33 so I contacted Customer Service at Joos to be told that because I didn't put the docking station back correctly it didn't register its return so that's why I've been charged £36 for 1 hour usage. I have been offered £15 refund and been given a coupon code to receive 30 mins free use of their charger the next time I use one, which will be never. Only good thing about Joos is their Customer Service which was quick but I'm still upset that I'm down £18 for using a charger for 60 mins.

Hi Samantha,
Thanks for sharing this feedback about your Joos experience. We're looking closely at what happened with your power bank return and the unexpected £33 charge.
While we can't offer a complete refund when our system shows a power bank wasn't properly returned (since we can't verify its location), we understand that the £15 refund and 30-minute coupon don't fully make up for your frustration with the situation.
We're using your feedback to improve our return detection system and make our stations more user-friendly. We want all our customers to have a smooth charging experience without surprises.
We're glad our Customer Service team was responsive, but we're still working on making the entire Joos experience better. Your feedback is helping us charge forward with improvements! 🔋

Scam, avoid these dodgy machines!
Borrowed one of their power banks when we had to take my son to A&E at hospital. Must have only had it for just over an hour (didn’t even fully charge my phone). When it came to returning it, the power bank popped slightly back out but was locked (tried pushing/tugging it to no avail). There were multiple others stuck in the same position so assumed it would be alright. Two days later and I’ve just been charged £36! Challenged them but they say I should have raised it as an issue at the time and only offered £15 refund as gesture of goodwill. Complete scam if the machine keeps spitting the power banks out, they’re effectively charging everyone £36 for a £5 service. Avoid at all costs!

Hi Laura,
We're really sorry to hear about this frustrating experience, especially during such a stressful time with your son at A&E. A faulty return slot that traps power banks isn't acceptable – that's on us, not you.
This situation with multiple power banks stuck in the same position clearly indicates a machine issue that should have been flagged and resolved immediately.
Please email us at customers@joospower.com with your rental details and photos if you have them. We need to investigate this properly and get it sorted for you.
Hope your son is doing well. 💙
Saved the day
For context; St. Joseph’s Hospital, Etobicoke, Canada.
I used it for 55 minutes; charged my iPhone up to like 35% (from 5%). - so not lightening charging as they indicated - so 4 star.
Very easy to obtain and return.
Another minor issue; initial charge of $50.0 immediately retained, when I returned the item, it showed my actual charge of $4.52 on their screen but that didn’t reflect on my credit (only the $50 was pending). I read the reviews and started to worry, but after 24 business hours, the actual charged/posted was only the $4.52.

You're absolutely right about the charging speed – we'll take that on board as we continue improving our service. Glad the rental and return process was smooth though!
We know that initial hold can be worrying (especially after reading some reviews!), but you're spot on – it does process correctly within 24 hours. Thanks for sticking with us and for the honest 4-star review.

Joos took £36 from my bank for less than 2 hours hire and still haven’t returned my balance.
Thanks Joos
Here’s what they said after the hire.
Team
Kindly note that for contactless rentals you are charged a holding deposit of £36. Upon returning the power bank, the rental fee is deducted from the £36 and the remaining is released back to you, within 2-7 working days depending on the processing policy of your bank.

I understand your frustration with the payment situation, and I'm truly sorry for the confusion you've experienced. It sounds like the holding deposit process wasn't clearly communicated upfront, which can be quite disappointing.
While our system does require a temporary £36 holding deposit for contactless rentals, with the actual rental fee being deducted before returning the remainder, I recognise this wait of 2-7 days for the refund can be inconvenient. Bank processing times are unfortunately beyond our control, but I understand it can feel like your money is being held unnecessarily.
Please get in touch with us at customers@joospower.com with your order details so we can look into this specific case for you and check the status of your refund.

Hi Tom,
We're truly sorry your power bank didn't eject and that resolving it became such a hassle. Technical issues can happen, but our response to them clearly failed you, forcing you to resort to a chargeback with your bank.
This isn't acceptable service. If you're willing to share details at customers@joospower.com, we'd like to investigate what went wrong both with the machine and our customer service response.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention so we can prevent others from experiencing similar frustrations.

We're truly sorry you were charged £4.16 without receiving any service. We understand how frustrating unexpected charges can be, especially when you were simply trying to manage your payment information.
We'd like to look into what happened in your specific case, as our system requires QR code scanning for all rentals, which is impossible to complete from home. There must be another explanation for this charge on your account.
Please contact us at customers@joospower.com with your account details so we can investigate this situation and address the charge appropriately.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention - we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this matter.

Absolutely disgusting used a battery…
Absolutely disgusting used a battery pack in the hospital only lasted 30 minutes and stopped working. I didn't know it charged by the hour. Charged me £8.80. The know people of desperate and confused at hospital easy way to be rob people. Wouldn't have been so bad if I managed to get a full charge. I didn't put it back until after four hours as I had to escort my elderly father to another cubicle who need me there with him the while time. I wouldn't have to put it straight back if I had know it was charge by the hour and it was dead.

Dear Suky,
We're deeply sorry about your experience during what was clearly an already stressful hospital visit with your elderly father. We can understand how upsetting it would be to have a power bank stop working after just 30 minutes, especially when you were counting on it in such an important situation.
While our pricing is shown on the station screens and on customers' phones before rental confirmation, we understand that in a hospital setting with the worry of caring for your elderly father, these details might not have been your primary focus. Finding out about the £8.80 charge afterward, particularly when the device didn't even provide a full charge, would naturally feel frustrating.
We also understand the difficult position you were in, needing to accompany your father to another cubicle and being unable to return the device immediately. These are exactly the kind of real-life circumstances that can make timely returns challenging, especially in sensitive environments like hospitals.
Please contact us at customers@joospower.com with your rental details so we can look into this situation for you. We take your feedback seriously and want to make this right.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention so we can improve our service, especially for customers in stressful situations.

Holding fee release time unknown!?
Well I've a bit of battery in my phone now, nice, I can call a cab and get myself home! Nah, not really! I have no money because the £30 holding fee has not been released yet. It's been two hours now, I'm stranded in this hell hole of a shopping centre with awful festive music
everywhere and there is a storm outside, freezing cold rain and blowing an absolute hooly, there is no escape. Paying to use one of these joos gadgets and trusting the holding fee process is the absolute worse decision in a good long time. Seriously, in a world where we have instant transactions flying everywhere, how can this be? it's ruined my day! You owe me a pint Joos!
EDIT: I'd like to point out too, I didn't even come to mk shopping centre to shop, I knew there was a way to charge my phone here, desperate measures and all that, now I'm amongst them, lord have mercy
EDIT AGAIN: A brass band is now playing Joos! A BRASS BAND! release my £30 with great haste! I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Also, that'll be two pints now please
EDIT AGAIN AGAIN: I've lost faith in the system, my phone ran out of battery again!! 😭 I did however manage to find refuge in a charity record store, an oasis in the middle of bratwurst umpa hell. I found a mint condition original Disintegration by the cure vinyl.. £30!!!! Absolute joke, the bloke said I should leave the store after offering half a pack of Smints for it. I ended up in wethespoons, Jesus Christ!! They did at least charge my phone FOR FREE if only I could have shown some gratitude by purchasing a pint of the cheapest beer anywhere in this concrete cow ghetto

Hi Jonathan,
We're so sorry to hear about your experience - what an adventure you've had! 🎭
While we can tell you managed to keep your sense of humor through it all (your storytelling is amazing, by the way!), being stranded without access to your funds is no joke. You're absolutely right that in today's world of instant transactions, waiting for a holding deposit to clear is frustrating.
Just to explain: when the power bank is returned, our system immediately tells your bank to release the hold, but unfortunately each bank processes these releases at different speeds - some are quick, others can take several hours.
We totally get your frustration about being caught in festive shopping center chaos (complete with brass band soundtrack! 🎺) while waiting for your funds.
While we can't speed up the bank's process, we'd love to make this right - please drop us a message at customers@joospower.com with your rental details.
Thank you for sharing your experience (and giving us a laugh despite the situation!) - it helps us understand how these delays really impact our customers.
