6/5/22 At this time of this review I have it for 1.5 weeks.
Pros
- Charging was very fast it's pulling about 1100 watt for the first 80% then the last 20% it dropped to protect the battery. Overall it can fully charge in about 1- 1.5 hrs.
- During the charge the fan was super quiet. I can feel light breeze coming out from the fan unit but I couldn't hear the noise.
- I mainly used it to power my 12V portable fridge which use ~80 watt and with timer to warm up our food on the hot plates (90 watt) so when we get back from hiking or during long drive trip, we had hot food ready to eat. We didn't hear the fan during discharge. Again the fan was very quiet, none of us in the car could hear it.
- The unit is about 25 pounds, it's very light. Me and my wife don't have problem handling it
- I tried the USB ports to charge our ipads/iphones, no issue. The panel displayed clearly how many watts were using and how many hours left.
- I tried charging 2 Bose soundlink via USB ports but they failed but if I charged them using power adaptors via AC ports then they worked fine. I think it's Bose device that requires power adaptor.
- I tried charging it using Grecell Solar Panel 200W and it worked fine
- The apps worked fine when it connected
- I haven't tried out the USB-C port so no comment there
- I haven't used it for UPS so no comment there
- I haven't used larger appliances on the unit but I don't see why it wouldn't work as long the required wattage stays within the specified range.
- In emergencies like power outage, I plan to use my solar panel to charge the unit and if it's not enough to support all our needs then I also have gas generator as a backup.
Cons
- What I don't like is the handle that didn't sit flush to the unit but that didn't deter our purchase.
Unsure
- I'm still trying to figure out the apps and connection. When connected it's no problem, however if I'm out of range and get back in range, it doesn't automatically connect. I have to force connect and if for some reason the button IOT turned off by itself when I'm not in range there is no way to reconnect, I have to go to the unit and press that button to turn WIFI/Bluetooth on then manually reconnect again. I'm still new to the unit. I will have to play it a few more weeks to confirm this.
So far so good it checked all the boxes and satisfied our needs. Fast charging, hold the charge well, light portable and quiet fan, reasonable price were what we needed. Only time will tell. If this starts to fail, I will update the review.
