Great Product

I just recently received it. What little I use. It just as better than the Jackery. I will do another review later.

Rechargeable via solar panel! Offers peace of mind for you and/or loved ones.

I am a 51-yr-old Florida native, and up until 2004, I completely brushed off the news of hurricanes heading my way. I have never lived near a beach, so my family and I typically just had some heavy rain and winds that that would leave small branches and leaves on the ground. However, after our area was hit with FOUR very serious hurricanes that horrid year (2004), I started taking storms MUCH more seriously. I found myself feeling HIGHLY stressed during the entire loooooong hurricane seasons. Like many fellow Florida residents, in the past, I have waited until the last minute to purchase \\\\\\\'regular\\\\\\\' batteries for my flashlights (and candles), then gone into panic mode after discovering empty store shelves! Unfortunately, the temperatures during the storm season is always hot, and sometimes nearly unbearable... at times, exceeding 90 degrees Fahrenheit. And because the humidity level is so high, it means lots of sweating and SOAKING wet clothing when there are no air conditioners or fans to cool off a bit. Admittedly, this level of discomfort can easily make me grouchy. More importantly, I cannot sleep in intense heat, so grouchiness can quickly transform in downright misery and fatigue. :( Even if you don\\\\\\\'t reside in Florida, this item could make a FANTASTIC GIFT for a loved one who does. Although this machine is NOT powerful enough to run machines like air conditioning units, microwaves, large fans, dehumidifiers, full size frigs, etc, it DOES reduce worry, knowing I can at least use it to run things like desktop fans (see my pics and video). I can also use it to charge my cell phone -- for both power outages AND if I ever decide to go camping. It\\\\\\\'s lightweight... at just a tad more than 7.5 pounds (lighter than my \\\\\\\'fluffy\\\\\\\' cats, haha.) The handle at the top also makes it easy to carry with just one hand, as opposed to having handles on both SIDES of the unit (like with a box or cooler w/o wheels). In other words, it is very helpful to have your 2nd hand left free/available to do/carry other things while moving this awesome item to wherever you need it to be. It\\\\\\\'s pretty cool that you can charge a cell phone, simply by placing it on top of the unit. HOWEVER, if you are thinking about buying this primarily for cell phone charging, note that some phones (including my Motorola) CANNOT be charged on top of this unit. It really depends on the technology of your phone. It must be designed for wireless charging to us this convenient feature. That said, even if you have a phone like mine that does not allow for wireless charging, you can still simply plug it into the front of the unit, using your \\\\\\\'regular\\\\\\\' charging cord. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that the manufacturer also makes multiple options for portable, fold-up, lightweight SOLAR PANELS to recharge this unit, should I drain the unit before the electricity comes back on. I plan to buy one this week. I would be remiss not to mention one more super cool feature... the bright, built-in light. If I can\\\\\\\'t find my flashlight during a power outage -- or a camping trip -- this power station can become worth its weight in gold (figuratively speaking.) Last, but not least, the light does more than just light the way in the dark... It has a flash option, to notify rescue workers, neighbors, fellow campers/hikers, etc, know when there is a need for medical/emergency assistance!! This feature could literally safe a life.

Works great, can wirelessly charge my S21 phone, powerful and portable

Works great to power my Bodega cooler, phone, tablet and laptop. It can wirelesly charge my phone on top by pressing the USB button. It is durable and easy to carry. It has a watt display as well - I love that feature to visually see how much wattage is used for specific devices. It is a great value for the amount of power 300w/120v, quality, total capacity wh of 296, functionality and price.

Emergency Planning Must Have

This portable charging station is too cool! To start, it comes partially charged. It can finish charging with either a standard plug, or if you are camping, it has a lighter plug (no idea what they’re called). There is also a plug to attach a solar panel, which is sold separately. This size power bank isn’t going to keep your fridge going (for long) but it is perfect for the various must have devices during a power outage or camping trip! There are several types of charging ports, so you should be set to charge whatever you need! Definitely recommend!

Very well designed product

I am very pleased with this power station. It is very portable and has all the features i need for my light travels. Plus with my solar panel, i have piece of mind with this. the power output is great. It also has the extra wireless charging up top which for me doubles as a phone table lol. The PD 60w and the QC 3.0 usb slots are a welcome for my higher powered devices. and then the additional 2 2.4a usb slots is a great benefit to have to free up my other slots for my devices. you wont power a fridge with this, but it can easily power my laptop. Overall, great product, Sturdy and well built.

Nice charging station but beware of DC-IN compatibility

I got this portable power station specifically because I wanted it to be charged by my portable solar panels. But even though my solar panel's power output falls within the permissible range of the DC-In of this power station, none of the 10 adapters that came with my solar panel fit this charging station's DC IN. Before giving this review, I tried to determine what kind of port this is by looking through the user manual, but there was no indication. I also tried contacting the seller via the Seller link - which in this case leads to the seller store and which has no links there I could find to ask questions. So I'm forced to write this negative review in the hope the seller sees it and responds to this. To be clear, charging this station with AC works just fine and the product feels like it's well made and the use of it seems easy enough. But since I got explicitly to be used with my solar panels, it's not fulfilling my central requirement, so I'm giving it 1 star. At least until the seller can tell me what kind of adapter I need to buy to let my solar panel work with it. UPDATE: the seller finally got back to me with the complete specification for the DC-IN: it is 4.0x1.7mm. Now that I can buy an adapter that fits I am upgrading the rating on this charging station.

Quality build

I ordered the Hiker U300. It is a quality build. I wanted this mainly for emergency power in case of a blackout so that I can at least be able to turn on a lamp. It will also be nice for camping or taking to the beach. It is very small and light so bringing it along on a trip would be easy. I do not yet have a solar panel to try out with this power station but it is on my list. Apparently according to another review, depending on which panels you have, a different adapter may be needed. I took off a star because in my testing, one of the issues I encountered was when wireless charging my phone (you just have to lay it on top and turn on USB button). It would stop charging my iPhone after a while and I could not figure out why. The instruction booklet mentions that both the AC and DC port will auto turn off if less than 2W power is being pulled. According to the LCD screen the watts being used are above 2W and there is no mention in the instruction that there is auto turn off for the wireless or USB output. It seems silly if there is auto turn off if you are charging a phone. I'm assuming that's an issue. Otherwise I did not run into any problems with being able to use this power station. I tried it on my TV, my air purifier on high, my oscillating fan on high, several different lights (one with 3 lights-in the video you can see LED numbers change), my kindles and a laptop. And though I did not try all these things at once, I did do a few at the same time without a hiccup. I love that you know how many watts you are using and how much battery capacity is used because of the large LED screen. It is also nice that it has its own built in LED light that has a low, high and SOS setting. I would imagine that feature will be nice when camping in a tent in the middle of the night and need to see. The high setting is sufficient to light up inside a tent pretty well. I also didn't realize until I went to write this review that you can double charge the unit by using the AC adapter and USB C at the same time to cut down the 6-7 hour charge time to much less. I'm sure I will still be learning more uses as time goes on but I am happy to have this unit just in case. Having this power station gives me some piece of mind that should the power go out at least I have a source I can use until it's back on.
