    I purchased this out of necessity for work as one of tools I use tends to run out of battery after 4 1/2 hrs of use. This has been one of the best purchases I’ve made in the past few years! It holds a charge for quite some time, It’s capable of charging my laptop or the device in a good amount of time while it charges my phone at a faster rate than the wall chargers! I’ll use it for an hour or 2 and still have 85% left, enough for a couple days of work without charging the unit itself.

    This was a great addition to a 3 night tent camping trip. My wife has a CPAP machine and this thing kept her machine going every night. Every morning, it was around 30 to 40% battery left and we would just charge it in the truck throughout the day. I would highly recommend this little generator for overnight camping as long as you have a way to charge it throughout the day. Looking forward to more tent camping trips now.

    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 haven't had to use this yet, but it's seems like it's going to be easy to use. Just reading about it, I won't power everything, but it will power the bare minimum that is needed.

    Nice portable power station that can be used just about anywhere. I like the port selection but wish there were more. Would like to see faster charging speeds in future models.

    Very light and compact. The solar panels are separate and I haven't purchased those yet to see how it charges up with them, but it has chargers for electrical outlets, so we're good. I feel safer having it on hand.
