If you're looking for a reliable, high-performance portable charger, the Jackery is a game-changer. I’ve used it during power outages, and it’s never let me down. Thumbs up!

Really impressed with this relatively small battery pack. I bought it to power a dometic cooler while camping. Tested the setup by keeping the cooler and the battery in the back of a Jeep throughout the day. It would get through about a day to a day and a half on a hot day. Would highly recommend.

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.

We have taken this camping a couple of times and we can run a box fan on it for the majority of the night, which is the main intention.

The Jackery 290

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.

Exactly what I needed -- just in case I lose power, I can still keep a few things on such as light, cell phone and laptop.

This power bank has been perfect for sporting events. We do travel baseball which means our weekends are spent at a field where I cannot count on having power. This gives me able power to work on my laptop and charge my phone. I always get a compliment when I use this.

Came in handy when a tree fell knocking out the power the other night. Plugged up the lamp for 2 hours and then ran it down all the way to zero with a box fan for about 3-4 hours maybe.

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

Works great no issues. Bought this to go camping and used it to charge our phones for four days and it did the job.
