Jackery Generator Works Great

This generator does everything it is supposed to do and does it very well.
There are two USB-C ports that charge your devices at a high-power rapid speed such as your phone or tablet. There is a 120-volt outlet that you can connect your laptop or other devices that require household power to it. It is supposed to be a genuine sine wave which I think is much better for devices than a simulated sine wave like on other units. There is also a 12-volt car port. Not sure of a good use for it but it is there.
I started off charging the device with the included 120V power cable. This took about 2 hours from empty to full. When the battery ran down to empty after using it, I tried the solar panels. In normal daylight it did not charge at all. I had to put it into direct very bright sunlight and was able to charge it in a few hours. So, the solar panel does require bright direct sunlight to work at all. The solar panel does include snaps and a magnetic flip to keep it nice and folded which works well.
I tested it by connecting a gaming laptop to the 120-volt port, a phone and tablet to each of the USB-C ports, and a radar detector to the 12-volt port. With all of those connected and in use, I was able to get around 3 hours of power to everything until the battery ran out.
The display shows the input watts and remaining time to a full change, the output power being used and remaining run time, the percentage of battery remaining, and some other diagnostic information. Everything here is useful and well laid out.
This generator does have the ability to connect to an app on your phone. It was very easy to connect, however it requires that you create a Jackery account before you can use the app. I don’t understand this as there is no reason why an account should be required to use it. The app is basic. It shows all the same information that you see on the screen. Assuming you are near the unit, you can just look at that. The only real case I can see this being useful is if you are charging it outside and want to check the progress from inside wherever you are. There are a few settings you can change in the app, but I found that the default settings were fine. A nice app that works well but doesn’t serve much of a purpose.
My biggest complaint is that the display automatically turns off after a short amount of time. You can keep it on by double pressing the power button while the unit is on, but you must do this every time. I wish there was a way to just set it to always stay on.
There is a fan built in to cool the unit. It is a tiny bit loud indoors. Nothing obnoxious though and you probably wouldn’t even hear it outside.
A great generator that works great and that I highly recommend to power everything.

I can charge everything while camping for a couple days. Very nice. Charges fast out of the wall. Charge is slow with the panel but it does work.

We got this for camping in the spring and summer but it got out to use early with all the power outages in California at the beginning of 2024. It kept it devices going while we had no power.

Great product. I like the ease of setup and how compact the solar panel is. Have used it to power my cell phone and it's great. I almost want a blackout so I can use the full capability of this generator. No fuss and no fumes! I love it.

In today's world where overlanding, day tripping, road tripping or quick weekend getaways are more mainstream than ever before... the quintessential item to have is a portable battery for all your charging needs. With this Jackery package deal... you'll have everything you'll need to start off your trips. While there are many to choose from with abundant of options from other companies. Jackery seems to really stand out from the rest due to their many choices and superb built qualities. In today's digital world where people have laptops, drones, portable gaming devices, digital cameras, mobile phones and even portable refrigerators!
I would consider this package a very solid deal and complete package to start your tripping needs. Performance overall is top notch. Quick charging from all ports, even though there aren't as much as I seen on others in the same size category. With two 100w USB-C ports, one 15w USB and a single 120v AC, it's minimal compared to others, but this package does come with its own solar charging panel making it a great deal in terms of total portability.
The only downsize I found while using this, is that you have to manually press a button to activate the ports. Meaning you'll have to activate the battery than activate the port you're planning on using. It could be to preserve the battery life and such, but it's kind of annoying too. Could've made itself sensing when you connect to a port or something along that line. But it's really minor I suppose.
Overall, the built quality is superb, and size is excellent. It does the job for me, but if you have a lot of devices that you like to bring along... plan accordingly. Thanks.

Dear customer, thank you for sharing your valuable feedback! We're glad to hear that you're satisfied with the fast charge time of the E300Plus+40W mini. Regarding the inability to support certain high-power devices, we completely understand your needs.

If you need any further assistance or expert advice on selecting the right product, we're happy to support you in finding the best solution to meet your needs. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team if you have any questions or concerns ([email protected] / +1-888-502-2236, weekdays 9AM to 5PM PST).
