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.

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.

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!

JACKERY EXPLORER 290 FROM BEST BUY IS THE BEST

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 needed to find a power source for our balcony which has no power outlets so we could put up our holiday lights and an inflatable. This worked perfectly! I am very happy with it and looking forward to finding more uses for it.

I bought this unit in order to use it when we were camping without electricity and it started at a full charge of 100% and we were able to charge our phones and certain other electronics all through the weekend and it only got down to 40%. . Would 100% recommend this to anybody. It recharges with any solar panel so I did not buy the jackery brand and was able to use both our other ones with it. No problems with it so far and I've used it four to five times.

I’ve been using the Jackery Explorer 290 for a few weeks now, and I’m seriously impressed. Whether I’m camping, working remotely at the park, or just preparing for potential power outages, this little unit has been a game changer. It’s compact and lightweight, yet powerful enough to charge my laptop, phone, and even run small appliances like a mini fan or LED light. WARNING do not try to run a computer tower off it, it will not work.
The LCD screen is super helpful for keeping an eye on battery levels, and it charges back up quickly with solar or wall input. I especially love how quiet it is—no annoying generator noise, just clean, reliable power. Highly recommended for anyone who wants dependable energy in a portable package!
