    The generator itself works as a whole however when it comes to three prong plugs it fails since there is no ground unit for the third prong.

    I think this was a good product and made very well, but I needed a little more power, so I returned it. I recommend it for those wanted to charge lower wattage devices like cellphones, computer, etc.

    Works very well for charging phones and a laptop when traveling. Would be 5 stars if it had a DC outlet to plug in the lights that come with the Solar panel kit. Good little unit for the price on sale.
