Peace of mind
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven't actually used the unit in a power outage, but I got this because our grid went down in Texas last year and it left me in distress. I live in an apartment and can't have a gas generator, and this can be used indoors. Big plus! It is very compact and is a great addition to my bug out bag. It says to leave it plugged in when not in use, so that is what I am doing. We are in the middle of another serious cold front, so this was a must have immediately. You can charge your tablet & cell phone and it has an outlet to plug in an electrical item like a small refrigerator or TV. You can also charge a laptop. I haven't purchased the solar charger yet, but you can also charge by plugging it in to an electrical outlet or cigarette lighter outlet in your vehicle. I read and watched lots of reviews on this unit and other small generators, and this one was rated high, so I feel confident with my purchase. Not to mention Best Buy has always stood by the products they sell me. I am very pleased.

My phone is always charged. I have a fan that keeps me cool and I even played my game on it. I highly recommend the product.

A very good investment
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought the solar panel, solar generator and carrying case at the same time; the panel & generator were bought as a bundle on sale. We bought this to recharge batteries (e.g., cell phone, drone, camera, etc. batteries). We used it for the first time at this year’s Mardi Gras in New Orleans and it worked great. We had 25+ relatives and friends in our group and everyone was able to recharge their device batteries with no issues. The solar panel was able to keep pace and maintain the generator at 100%. The carrying case was also a very nice accessory.

Excellent battery
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live way out in the sticks and we lose power at the drop of a leaf it seems. I decided to get one of these batteries for backup until i get a generator installed. This battery is awesome. I liked it so much that i got another one. Will use them for long camping trips as well as power outages. Ive recommended it to my family and friends

Great Product!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this to power our TV to watch football in between our daughters softball games at tournaments. Watched a full game and this thing still had 40% battery left when we were done. Much quieter than a noisy gas generator!

Will be putting it to work soon!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little Device!!! Very portable, very quiet. I got a BourgeRV solar panel a while ago - waiting now for an adapter allowing an 8mm barrel (Jackery's chosen standard) to connect with an MC4 device (BourgeRV's more popular chosen standard). I expect to save money, reduce pollution, and be proud very soon
