A removable flashlight/ambient light would be a good feature.

I need to inflate balloons outside at the site and they don’t always have a power source. My electric balloon pumps are 600 and 700 watts. I bought 2 and returned them. 600W surge, but the outlets I think are only 300watts each. I saw one for 1000watts, but does that mean each outlet is only up to 500 watts? I’m frustrated now.
What a great review! Thank you
Now that this technology is beginning to grow stronger legs, I’m beginning to look into it more seriously.
However, I’m not finding much help and info to assist me in deciding if it can help me as yet.
I wish to stop using petroleum-powered generators as I hate those fumes when doing things publicly (or at all).
But I’m not used to considering W with Wh, and unsure what would, if at all, drive my current portable P.A. system for any decent length of time so it isn’t a constant concern while performing.
The P.A. system uses approx 750 to 800W, and, of course, any power source, also has to drive a laptop, mixer, and various synths or drum machines and fx (all of which added to the P.A. system, are unlikely to push the needed wattage much above 1000W).
It would be great to be able to run this setup for at least 8hours, with 12 to 20 hours being more ideal, even if I never need to run it for so long at a time.
Anyone who could advise?
But how do recharge if have no power
outstanding video. Im in the market for one of these and this really helped explain what to buy.
Thank you, very informative and simple . Now I can go shopping. Looking for some home emergency use.
So can I keep this plugged in to my wall to keep it charged and my 1500 w heater plugged into this if the power goes out then will my 1500 watt heater keep on running without it going out if the power goes out
Best Solar Mini CFL UPS/Inverter 55Watt Inbuilt Lithium Battery
It’s very good generator
Considering one of these for living on a sailboat and not wanting to use all the solar panel power for phone/computer charges, fans, etc! Would be comforting to have one of these all charged up from the mainland as a back up or just as extra power that can be recharged at a hotel or somewhere! Love that the one can be charged by solar panels as well tho!
❤ Thank You Very Much ❤
Would this be safe to charge a power wheelchair ♿️? For a three day camping in the middle of the no where
I’m in the market for a generator .. I plan to use at a pop up event whenever I am pressing iron ons to a cap. Or for ironing vinyl on tshirt I just don’t want to spend so much
Host is excellent – good diction, perfect delivery.
BTW: Nope, We *DON’T* use led lights > they are very unhealthful, stick with incandescents to stay well. (Using led outdoors for property lighting is OK as its not shining on you.)
If I want it for air fryer which one is better hope I get an answer thank you
Great video I appreciate your time.🤘🤘
This is the best YouTube video I have ever seen. No nonsense, straight to the point and very comprehendible.
Invest in a gas generator
Thank you for putting this together
A lot of helpful information. But it’s the most important thing is.. he never mention it, which is how long take it to fully charge when it gets empty when it run out of power
Ok. Sold!!😅😊
Best review yet. The others were either useless or a bit too technical.
Can I use a CPAP machine with this
What’s better? Geneartor or Power Station?
how long to charge in the car ?
At least you’re not calling it a solar generator like the other Liars it’s nothing more than a battery with an inverter all you can charge it with a solar charger big deal I can charge my cardboard battery with a solar charger
"Will you ever need to charge these more than 500 times? I doubt it." lol *cries in South African* 🥲
Why doesn’t anybody tell us whether this thing will run a 1500 watt heater overnight on a full charge it’s just the simplest question no one will answer
Very interesting please have this vedeo upload..thank you
How much
Can you charge the station with an ac plug ?
I just wanna power a laptop for 12 hours straight… that’s all I need. Which is good for that ?
Don’t care about the dad dude…give me facts
The are NOT cleaner. They are only easier!
It would be great if US manufacturers could start thinking INTERNATIONAL: universal power outlets on these devices.
Can you avoid the spike by turning it on first and then plugging in another device ?
I have a stereo that I use outdoors 2500 watts I don’t know which one to buy
Good,but expensive.
What would you recommend for someone living the winter months inside of a compact car?
Im.wondering can you run an electric heater off that jackory?for like 12 hours ?
God bless you.
Jokes on you, my laptop has a 330W charger 😬
Like you’re not the thousandth utuber to explain this😂
How long to charge these by plugging in the wall?
So a the 1530 battery will power a 1200 watt roaster oven for a little over an hour before drawing down a needing to be recharged?
great explanation! you guys earned a sub 🙂
Major point is "pass-through". For example, can you continue to charge with solar panels will drawing from them with devices/utilities at the same exact time.
