    Outdated with no usb-c port. Saw another jackery at amazon with 1000w selling $400… now i have buyers regret. I use these as emergency phone chargers for blackouts. I just should have waited. My fault, best buys all good

    I bought the generator just before Beryl hit the area. Were without electricity for 8 1/2 days and the generator was a great help. Easy to use. I am sure I will be able to find many uses for it, aside from storm problems.

    Great for weekend camping! Used this for my phone, watch, lights and fan when camping. Plugged camping fan overnight about 5 hours and did not drain. Still a lot of juice left. Highly recommend for small gadgets for weekend camping.

    Does faster than the flash fish. Good for regular charging items but not for all ight use for a cpap machine or anything that will require continuous use. A good buy for charging phones or other electronics.

    I use this generator every time I go to soccer tailgates. It's very resourceful. Powers up our 30 inch tv just perfectly. To charges it up rather quickly, about 3-4 for full charge. I stays powered up for a good length of time as well. Have had it at 60% during our 3-4 hour tailgates and only dropped to about 30%.. Love this generator and highly recommend it.
