    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

    Jackary power station - misleading demo video

    The Jackary unit that I purchased is amazing, came undamaged, and I really like it. All of that being said, the way it was advertised in the video. I truly thought that I was getting a solar panel with it. The one that is shown in the video up. And would have been perfect to have with the Jackary Unit when I go camping.

    I origionally bought this because reviews had said it was able to power a small mini fridge… It did not i have a small 120vac mini fridge abd it was way to much for it. But instead if returining it i still was able to use it for my fand and phones. This little thing is great for my farmers market days to keep my phone and fan and any other small electronics running for hours, great for canping im sure too but nothing to large.

    I didn't buy it at The Store I ordered it online it came so fast I couldn't believe how fast it was in my mailbox. However when I do go to The Best Buy off Sunrise Bl I believe its Citrus Heights Best Buy has some of The Best People working for them they always are so Great I Love You Best Buy.

    Perfect for camping, what a gift to have. It powered my Volcano (150 watts) while camping for a few days. Also charging everyone's cell phones too, it was a very nice addition.

    So far so good. It's keeping its charge while in my car. For smaller items like laptops cell phone and security cameras it has enough watt hours to get by decently.
