    It is a safe purchase. It's not the best in any meeting, but that is because it has alot of regulators that will help make it last longer.

    That box has too many corners, you might think. No. It has the correct number of corners for a box to have. The ninth corner is a ghost. You need ghosts for batteries.

    This generator is perfect for devices laptop cell phones iPads but nothing larger anything larger would last maybe 30 minutes max from my experience I plugged in a few small appliances a Crock-Pot hot dog steamer toaster it only held up for 30 minutes max and this is what I initially purchased it for

    Smaller unit than previous Jackery. Wished I'd bought a larger generator but this will take care of lower power consumers like radios. Still looking for more usable items and will try a corded drill, sander and router today to see what this unit can do.
