MARBEROSolar Generator 167Wh Camping Portable Power Station 200W Peak with Foldable Solar Panels 30W with AC Outlet 110V Multi-Port LED Flashlights for CPAP Home Camping Hurricane Emergency

Charged all of our phones two nights in a row without hooking up to the solar panel. However, I did use the plug-in outlet lit for my Apple Watch and that did not charge. I think I may have done something wrong because there was plenty of battery on the charger. But it was a great purchase and I love it for camping.

I am on the go a lot for work so I got this because I didn’t want to rely too much on my car battery for charging small things. I use this to charge my phone and laptop and to power my electric lunch box to heat my lunch and with this load I charge it about 1-2x a week at home.I plug it in before bed and it’s fully charged by the morning but charging does take several hours. I also bought the solar panel so I can charge on the go if needed but even on a sunny day, the solar charge takes a very long time. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten it to a full charge within a work day.I keep it in my trunk when not in use so I wish the button on the side to turn on the light was somewhere else because it keeps turning on with the smallest nudge.Overall this is a very handy thing to have and I’m glad I bought it because I use it every day.

The order was delayed because of bad weather which was understandable.When it came in, I unboxed it and it had everything it said it would. I plugged it in and finished charging it up.Funny thing was that later that day we got bad weather and we lost power. I then used the power bank to run a small fan to help with the heat and it worked fantastically. Sadly it only lasted about 6 hrs but that was long enough for me to get my generator fixed and running and switch to that.I swapped the ac adapter cord for the solar panel cord and recharged the power bank in about 6 hrs of direct sunlight.My only regret was not getting the larger power bank.

I purchased this to use in power outages to charge phones and be able to have a lamp. The good- small, lightweight. Solar panels worked to charge it. It charges my phone.Second requirement - to power a lamp was a total FAIL. I tried lamps that were 4 watts and 40 watts. Super low wattage. Well below the wattage the product promised to power. None of the lamps I tried would turn on with this as a power source.If all you want is a phone charger, there are other less expensive options.I emailed the company to make sure I wasn’t doing something wrong (though it seems pretty basic and easy to operate so I didn’t think it was operator error), but there has been no reply. I have a few days left before the return window is closed so this is going back. I am disappointed, it seemed like it would have been a great solution for emergencies.

Overall the battery does its job but there are some things that make it not worth having. I wouldn’t consider this a comping portable station but more of a “random few hours needed in a pinch” portable power station. 2.5 stars1. Solar panel needs to be lined up PERFECT to get any charging and it takes forever to get any level of charge from it. I understand it’s a 30watt panel but in direct sunlight for 5 hours, the battery didn’t even go up 25%2. Wall charging is ridiculously slow and should not be a barrel charger. There is also zero reason to have a cigarette lighter adapter when you have everything else for power output. I rather see a usb c input then barrel jack input and outputs.3. The screen material is so soft I can scratch it with my finger nailIf you need something in a pinch for a few hours and don’t care about the charging speed and the solar panel, this is good for you. If you actually use it to camp, there are name brand items that are close enough in price point where you can get a larger battery, better charge rates and a have decent panel for a slight additional cost.

It looked nice but not what i wanted so sent it back

This is a great product, it really works.

The potable is one of best things for power. The most functional ports. Very fast charging. Where I live it is hard to get agood place to use the solar power system. I recommend this to everyone.
