Great buy at Best buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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 works fantastic!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Outstanding!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Small But Mighty – A Powerhouse on the Go
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

An okay power source
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When it went on sale I bought it. Luv the size and weight. Though it only has one AC outlet I can get an extension cord. The one negative is the USB ports. Two USB-A but no USB-C. I bought a USB-A to USB-C adapters to use them Unfortunately the USB output is low giving my cell phones/tablets a warning of slow charging. A fast charging USB port would be nice.

Little Power Pack
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like this portable power pack. It's a very convenient supply of electricity when you are on the go. It's great for charging all of your electronics and for giving you power for your entertainment, power tools, lights, whatever you might need when you're away from home, or during a power outage. I bring it with us when we're on vacation just in case.

Must have on camping & wilderness.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super compact & light. Great product for every man who’s going to go to the camping or wilderness. To charge my old iPhone 12 Pro you use 3-5% battery per 1 charging.

Jackery so convenient
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second Jackery, cuz I love it so much! Our power goes out frequently, and it is perfect for when you want to power a few things without turning on the generator. Also good for when you are away from the house and need power.
