Customer Ratings & Reviews

My family and I love this Jackery portable power generator. I mainly got it to use it when we go camping. I haven't used it for that purpose yet, but have found plenty of uses at home. To begin with, this portable generator is very light, it only weighs 7.5 lbs. Once I took it out of the box and turned it on, I noticed that it was almost fully charged. It comes with a nice carry case for the cords. This Jackery generator is very simple to use. The display is very easy to read and you have different options to charge this generator. You can plug it to a normal outlet, plug it into your car or use solar power if you have it. Once you are ready to use it, the options are endless. You can use it to charge multiple devices at one time. On my first use, I took it outside to connect it to a portable vacuum for my car. It was nice not to have to dealing with a long cord when I have this generator just feet from my car. My wife hates dealing with long cords to charge her I pad, so I just placed the generator next to her bed so she can use the short cord instead. Eventually, when the weather gets nicer, the plan is to take this Jackery portable generator camping. Overall, I am very satisfied with this generator. If you are in the market for one, I highly recommend that you consider this one.

Initially bought this for camping; something not big but travel sized. It is really quiet and last long. We went to Aiea store to purchase this but they did not have it on them so we paid for it in Aiea and picked it up on Nimitz. Employee who helped us was really helpful.

I bought the Jackery Explorer 290 Portable Power Solar Generator for my bug collection adventures, and after using it across seven different field sites, I can confidently say it exceeded my expectations. It’s lightweight and easy to carry, which made moving between remote locations simple. The setup is fast and hassle-free, and the battery life is impressive—it powered my lights, camera equipment, and phone with ease throughout long days in the field. Thanks to this battery, I was able to collect and document 80 different families of insects during my trip. That wouldn’t have been possible without reliable portable power. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, camper, or researcher, this unit is versatile, efficient, and extremely dependable. I highly recommend it for anyone needing power in the great outdoors!

Great and easy to use. Provides plenty of power and lasts quite long - better than a UPS. A little bit of noise . Very lightweight and portable- very convenient.

I purchased this last year right before Hurricane Beryl so I would be able to charge my phone and other necessary electronics, the Unit itself holds a nice charge longer than I expected. I used to have a gas powered one but gave it away when I moved ( yes there are regrets ) because it was too heavy to move. This Unit once charged holds the power for a long time and small enough to transport with you. It’s been totally worth the purchase and I highly recommend this power charger especially if you are in storm prone power outages or if you need something for recreational time away from power sources ie; camping, picnics, etc.

Great little battery. Holds a charge nicely, starts my diesel heater and charges my laptop. Easy to recharge using the wall or car charger.

Works great, capacity is very nice and if you add the solar charge is one the best deals.

Small and powerful. Great product. Used it for a portable Photo Booth

After our first power outage, I decided to get this Jackery generator and after the second outage, I was very happy I did. For three days we used it to power our phones, our smaller power banks and we used it to keep a lamp on. It still had some charge after that. Once it's charged, it stays charged so you don't have to keep it plugged in. We are probably going to get the solar attachment also. This little generator made the outage much less miserable. I highly recommend it.

Nice, big battery that can be useful in a number of situations -- an overnight camping trip, emergency CPAP battery backup, or to charge phones or tablets or even run small appliances during a power outage. Comes with an AC adapter and a 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter so it can be charged either at the wall or in your vehicle. Pair it with a supported Jackery solar panel and it gets even better. A bit pricey so add it to your wishlist and catch it on sale.

This has been incredibly helpful. I purchased it prior to a road trip to ensure I would have power for my laptop, since my battery life isn't the greatest. I didn't use it non-stop but on a full charge I was able to get all of the work done that I needed without needing to charge again. There is no way my laptop battery would have lasted as it was 10 hours each way. That said, I did not stress this thing to the max, but if you need to ensure you get a few more hours, this will definitely work!

Such a great product! Used it for a roadtrip from East Coast VA to mid west Canada to charge our phones! We didn’t stop and a full charge did 1d16hrs of driving charge got down to 76%! Perfect!

very good product. very handy, easy to transport, nice small size. it should come with its own solar panel. intuitive product, easy to use

This item is awesome. Excellent performance, I charge my phone, laptop, and plugged a small fan and works perfectly. It have a long lasting power. Super easy to use, light weight pretty handy and fits anywhere. First full charge takes about 3 hours. It's perfect for cars and also small generator at home for back up.

5 stars...this is the best thing I've purchased for the business in years. Could not be happier. Best Buy staff was great, the model I wanted wasn't in the store I went to that day, but they showed me how to order it on-line. It came the next day and was busy saving us time and wear and tear on our equipment by that afternoon.

Three newer version of Jackery's solid mini series. We loved having these at our camps, and getting another just seemed like a no brainer. From charging multiple devices, to a pico projector. This little unit packs a punch.

Got this as a replacement for my uninterruptable power supply that has faded over years of use. And also for emergency outages and to have portable power for on the go when I need it. Smaller and lighter than expected. Looks great and should have plenty of power for my needs! 2 days to my door! Excellant price! Extremely happy!

I love this power station. Was recommended to get it and Im glad I got it. This power hox packs a good amount of power. Very useful during power outages.

Great so far took it out camping and run my airbed, phone charger, with very little usage, great little generator.

The Jackery Explorer 290 is perfect for camping lightweight, quiet, and reliable. It easily powers phones, lights, and even a small TV, making your outdoor trip more comfortable and convenient.
