Compact power stations for storm outages

Two of these units were purchased in response to recent hurricanes and power outages, as generators were nearly impossible to find. They are needed on hand to run a c-pap machine and fans during humid heat. No problems have been experienced with them so far. They are compact and easy to carry.

Pros
  • + compact
  • + easy to carry
  • + no problems so far

Great performance, slow solar charging

An additional solar panel is recommended, as the built-in panel charges the unit very slowly. The power station handles high-draw devices well, and it has worked great for an electric grill and a coffee maker.

Pros
  • + handles high-draw items well
  • + works great for electric grill and coffee maker
Cons
  • − built-in solar panel charges very slowly
  • − needs an extra panel

Reliable power for hurricane season and camping

This portable power station is worth the cost. It charges quickly either from a wall outlet or by placing the solar panels in the sun, and it provides a large amount of battery life and power. It kept all devices charged for a week on a single charge. The size makes it easy to store in a garage, though it is somewhat heavy. It also works well for camping, where it can charge phones and flashlights and run a fan at night in warm weather.

Pros
  • + quick charging via wall outlet or solar panels
  • + long battery life and ample power
  • + compact size for storage
  • + suitable for camping
Cons
  • − somewhat heavy

Reliable Initially, But Replacement Unit Failed

This power station is heavy and was used for RV camping instead of a marine coach battery, seeming to drain slower. It charged via solar panels, generator, or cigarette lighter and was reliable for about two years. Then it stopped charging from solar panels but still charged from the car jack or generator. The company sent a free replacement, but the new unit often shows 0W output, has a fan cycling on and off, shuts down repeatedly, and eventually stopped turning on despite showing 80% charge. The display also had scratches, suggesting a returned or reconditioned unit.

Pros
  • + Reliable for about two years
  • + Charges via solar, generator, or car
  • + Company sent free replacement
Cons
  • − Heavy
  • − Stopped charging from solar panels
  • − Replacement unit malfunctioned
  • − Display had scratches
