Solar Generator With Solar Panel Included, Flashfish 150W Portable Power Station+60W Solar Panel, 2 x 150W AC Outlets, 166Wh/45000mAh Backup Power Emergency Power Supply For Home Blackout/RV/Camping

Original purchase I gave a review of 1-start. *** UPDATED COMMENTS: The seller contacted us soon after my review/comments as was willing to make this purchase correct-however, we thought would work best. We decided to have the cost of a new charger refunded to us. The seller even sent a link to us to a new adapter that would fit this product. We tried the new charger and the battery fully charged right away! Our problems with this item have been solved without much effort-due to the seller. They checked in with us to make sure we were satisfied-they wanted to make sure all is good!! We are happy to say we love this product and trust the seller will be great to anyone else who may have a quirky product problem. I would purchase from them again and there for gave an updated 5 stars. *******original comments: I purchased the item for my husband who is an electrician. His intent was to use the generator to run his c-pap machine during the night for a week long scout camp. We would certainly return the item if possible-but since we have had it for one full month we no longer see an option to return or replace the item or request a new ac adapter to try-we are very disappointed in what seemed like a great product at first. He charged the generator at home fully to use for a test night before leaving for camp. The generator was fully charged from being plugged into an outlet. The generator worked great and kept charge for the entire night (8hrs). He charged the generator using his truck cigarette lighter on the way to scout camp (3hr drive). It was fully charged and ready for use for night one at camp. The generator worked great for the first night, and he found that there was enough charge to use again for the second night without recharging. This seemed like a great generator. The generator was kept dry/clean/ and on a table inside his tent. Preparing for night three he discovered it would not charge using a outlet. It continued to blink that it was charging, but wouldn't take a charge. He had it plugged in for more than 24hrs!! He discovered that if he charges it in his truck (while running) is the only way he can get it to take a charge. He attempted to try to charge from an outlet at home-again with no luck! The generator was getting hot-trying to take a charge. He said USE CAUTION as he feels like this could catch fire if others have the same issue-even though the blower fans were running. He thinks it is the AC adapter for the outlet that is causing the problem, as the adapter for the truck cigarette lighter uses the same port on the generator and seems to work fine. If we were to receive a new adapter it may work fine, but we have no way to request this from the seller. If we were to receive a new adapter, we would test it out and comment again to see if that solves the issue, and adjust the ratings to reflect that.

About eight months ago, I moved to a rural part of Indiana with a sketchy power grid. We lost power twice over the ensuing winter, and I—with horrific obstructive sleep apnea—could not sleep a wink without my CPAP machine. My forward-thinking wife suggested that I look into a generator, and a thorough search of Amazon turned up this little beauty.And it is a beauty, indeed. It charges fairly quickly and hold its charge for a long time when unplugged and unused. I do wish the charge lasted a little longer when used with my CPAP machine, but the five or six hours I get represent hours of sleep I wouldn’t have gotten at all without it, so I have no complaints there.While I only use the generator for my CPAP machine, I can see that it has wide flexibility for other uses, especially camping. It has a number of AC and USB outlets for charging…well, anything that might need charging while camping—like cell phones.Overall, I’m very pleased with this purchase and I’m happy to recommend it to anyone looking for an indoor emergency generator that is not powered by gasoline.

I bought this item a couple of years ago to use as an emergency charger for my phone while camping. I have used it 3 times over those years. I pulled it out again last night and the battery no longer holds charge. The display up front says "charging" then "fully charged" but the station does not provide any power through any of the outputs. It looks like the battery components just do not have enough life for this thing to be worth the money - and I would not depend on it in an emergency.

I got this on recommendation from a friend. I was looking for emergency back up power for my C-pap machine and he had purchased a Power Station for his unit. Needless to say, he's happy with his, which is why I purchased mine.Last night we had an unexpected power outage (Thank You, PG&E and California's undependable power grid!) which gave me my first reason to try it. It was a big success - all night power and only one bar of 5 depleted. That is what I expected, based on his experience. I will use it tonight and again tomorrow night to see just how much usage I get. If I'm disappointed, there will be a follow-up. No follow-up means I'm a very happy camper!Some reviewers complain that the unit doesn't have much power for running C-paps. My take on it is this:1) Don't use hydration - run it dry, you'll use less power.2) Don't try to power your C-pap from the AC side of the power station. Use the DC side.The Flashfish comes with a female adapter for the male plug that fits a car's cigarette lighter/accessory port. This adapter is wired to a plug that fits the power station's DC output port. Most, if not all C-pap units either come with or have as an accessory, an adaptor that lets you run it off DC. [Your initial outlay for purchasing such an adapter hurts, of course. But if you want to use your C-pap in an emergency - or take it camping, it's something ya gotta do...] This adapter has the male cigarette lighter/accessory plug.All you have to do is plug it into the female adapter that comes with the Flashfish and you're good to go.FOLLOW UP:Two full nights of use. 4 bars depleted so I could probably get another partial night out of it. I didn't try for a third night as the unit is new and I didn't want to fully deplete the battery without fully charging it a few times. I was hoping for three full nights, but this is as good as any other back-ups I've used and better than an expensive (3x the cost) back-up made specifically for C-paps.So, bottom line, I'm still happy with it.
