Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased this Explorer 290 Portable Generator at a great price as we enter the season of winter storms. The small size was one reason for selecting this model, as we have minimal storage space. The unit came partially charged, and took very little time to fully charge plugged into an outlet. The percent charged is clearly shown. We charged a smartphone, with 97% remaining on the generator after. Have not yet tested charging our laptops, but given the remaining power after the cell, would expect the claims are accurate. This will not power a refrigerator in the event of power loss, but we will use it for a lamp and personal electronics in event of loss of power. Unit has an AC outlet, 12V car-style DC socket, and 2 USB Type-A ports. A solar panel kit can be separately purchased. Would have liked a USB-C port but an adapter easily addresses this.

It is a good size for recharging phones and other small devices, and it is light enough to carry around your house or campground. It will even charge your laptop once or twice.

The generator works as promised. I have had it for about 2 weeks. The instructions says to either charge every 6 months or leave plugged in. I have chose to leave it plugged in. I like that the different inputs have their own on/off switch. I purchased the solar panel with it (together a daily deal). It’s nice to be prepared for power outages, and to be able to take it with me when I go, not worrying about needing electricity.

Went car camping to Coachella for the first time. A life saver for charging up your phone or if my gf needed to iron/blow dry her hair. Great battery life aswell

Take this thing with me every time i go camping or to multi day festivals and it lasts the entire weekend. Paired it with the solar panel and it works great

This meets all needs. I am considering buying two more, and running my whole house off generators. Good bye to the Rip Off Grid! I did a lot of research, and Jackery came out on top consistently. They earn the rating...this generator is super!

Got here next day. Love this Jackery! Charged my phone, ran my small projector and other electronics for 2 days while camping. Lost power by the last day ( morning of 3rd day) from continuous use! Highly recommend this for small electronics , a short camping trip. Came with a 12v car charger as well!

Provides all the power I need at craft fairs, I use to charge my tent fan, lights and phones. Has more than enough power for the entire day.

Great compact portable charger. Take it with me almost everytime i leave the house incase the kids ipad dies. Game changer.

Great battery in a pinch. Takes a few hours to fully charge; provides power for about 6 hours.

We purchased two of these, one for our wifi router and the other for the basement where the fiber connection enters our home. Now we can continue using the internet during power outages. We were surprised at how soon after out purchase we would need to use them! Worked like a charm. Highly recommend.

Love it works perfectly. Plenty of power. Used to to work on my laptop on a long drive and when camping. I also use it to work in my she shed.

It is small and portable. I took it camping for our devices ( phones and iPads). Not for large devices.

Amazing I was living in my car for a few months and this thing worked amazing to charge my laptop and phone every night

Able to run a Coffee maker or water heater, egg cooker and electric fry pan, the purpose for a power shutdown! something worth the price!

We needed this in a pinch and have used it several times on location to keep everything charged. Great product.

Strong, sturdy, reliable. Fast charge time and it's not even that bulky, which makes it a neat item for all households. Highly recommend.

Works good and is light so easy to carry. Comes with car charger and home charger which is helpful if your on the go. Good product for what we use it for

I got this to power my CPAP while camping. But, found oout it works great when the power goes out while at home too

I bought this as a gift for my husband. We both had been wanting a portable generator for all of our camping trips. This was well worth the money. We went on a 10 day camping trip, and used this almost exclusively for our charging needs, and it barely impacted the battery
