I recently purchased this Power Station to use for camping and outdoor use. The unit is really high quality for the price and is more than sufficient to charge your phone, use laptop and other portable devices. I wanted to get a unit where I wouldn't drain my truck battery and also have the ability to use small appliances such as a portable fan, portable cooler, small cooking units and anything else I might need that requires AC use. This unit was able to handle it for three continuous days of use. I chose the VTOMAN over the Jackery because I really liked the design and over value of the unit. I think what drew me to it primarily was the light, that is much larger than other units on the market. The handle is also sturdy and in a good location for lifting the unit, that weighs a reasonable 15 pounds. I also liked the position of the AC outlets in the front and location of the USB ports for charging my wireless devices. It does take a long time to fully charge (8-12 hours), but for using items with small wattage requirements it gives you all the power you need. Amazon says it is gas powered, but that is an error because you either need to plug it into an AC outlet or can you buy the optional solar panels to charge it. I did end up returning it because I ended up getting a larger power station capable of lasting longer and able to handle larger items for a longer period of time. It is much lighter in weight then the larger power stations and could be an option to hook up a trickle charger to your battery or for other emergency situations. But if you are looking for something to use sparingly or to charge your wireless devices while camping, then this is more than sufficient. It also is something you can use when the power goes out and be a great backup for your electrical needs in the garage when working on a project and don't want to use lengthy electrical cords. I highly recommend this Power Station and this manufacture for your Power Backup needs.

This has pass through power is a lithium iron battery making it safer and not as susceptible to extreme temperatures as other batteries. Use it for lighting , charging phones and my CPAP while camping. Will run my CPAP for ten hours in addition to charging phones and using as a light source intermittently. Bought the jumper cable attachment also and actually had to use it on our camping trip when truck battery died. Had 9 percent battery left as we were getting ready to leave to go home. Truck battery had died due to light being left on inside. This thing jumpstarted our Dodge ram instantly. Very impressed with this product so far . Taken it on four camping trips now. Oh we also use it to blow up our queen air mattress 😁 yeah, I'm old and sore, we tent camp still but in comfort.lol highly recommend! Also comes almost fully charged mine was at 82 percent I chose this because it has good ratings and has expandable power. Only small power station with this capability. I didn't have the cash to get a bigger one right now but when I buy the extra battery later this will give me 1200 watts with 2400 watt surge. Great little power station that packs a punch especially for a low budget.

I am so pleased with these batteries! Exactly what I was looking for so I bought two. One of the batteries had a mystery issue with one of the charging ports and the seller’s customer service was phenomenal even though it was an issue they hadn’t come across before. They sent me a new battery and return label without waiting on me to return the defective battery, smooth as butter. I’ve had absolutely no issues with either of my batteries since and use both constantly to extend electric access to places without an outlet. I have a smaller volume battery I got for black outs in texas that couldn’t handle a space heater. THESE charged a portable mini fridge for over 5 hours using only like half the charge on our thanksgiving road trip so we could leave it in the trunk and have more car space instead of having to plug it into the dash. I tell everyone I know about these batteries, they’ve become common place to see around the house which is WAY more use than I thought I’d get from them. They also charge perfectly from the wall or my solar panels quickly and in seven months of regular use have lost absolutely no storage capacity. Charge up fully in a few hours from the wall and fast enough from the solar to get one up to speed during daylight. Cannot say enough good things but it was really the easy and friendly customer service that made me confident in investing. I know they won’t last forever but they’ll last a very long time and I’ll be back to switch them out when they finally go unless this place ever goes out of business. I did a ton of research balancing capability to cost and the unexpected issue requiring me to work with customer service is really the thing that ultimately put me over the edge from satisfied to loyal. I’m confident I can come back and have guaranteed quality with Vtoman and that saved time from having to go hunting later on is just money in the bank. Thank you Vtoman for your excellence in not only engineering but commitment to painless and knowledgeable customer service! It’s rare these days you find both with a company and I really hope they stay the course for the years to come because it is truly both that has me hooked on this brand with so many options flying around. Definitely highly recommend for camping, weather emergencies, road trips, and just general use when you don’t want to run an extension cable. I’ve used it in pretty much every scenario you might see in a commercial, including high heat and humidity camping last summer, and the battery was a light weight titan for anything we threw at it! :)

These work great. Runs my refrigerator for almost two days. Just wish the cord between the units was a little longer. Setting them next to each other blocks the side fans on each. Otherwise, these are really good for van/RV living.

Having gone through back-to-back hurricanes here in Central Florida's Gulf Coast this was a great item to have. First and foremost it runs the coffee maker and for that alone, it is worth it. It also ran our toaster oven( by itself). Very useful and super portable. We had the gas generator to run the Refrigerator and A/C but this was great for the little things and charging phones.
