PROGENY300W Portable Power Station, 299Wh/80818mAh Solar Generator, Regulated DC Output Backup Battery with Pass-Through Charging AC Outlet, Pure Sine Wave, LED Light Power Station for CPAP Camping

*8/13/2021 Update* Still 5 stars!Power station is still working great! I reached out to Progeny as my only complaint with it was the PWM solar charge controller. They have since updated to a MPPT and were nice enough to send me out the new version. (Again I have been really impressed with their customer service!)The solar charging with the new MPPT is double the speed of the previous version! I will add pictures of the input wattage from my solar panel comparing the new vs. old. The input wattage is double while using the same 100 watt solar panel.*Original Review:This thing is fantastic! I use a Rockpals 60W solar panel to charge it and it works great.First off, the ability for pass through charging at this price point is crazy. You normally have to pay double this cost. It is a great feature so you can use your solar charging panels to charge the power station, while charging any devices plugged in. An excellent option if you need to run something that is AC power. (Pass through works on all outputs! Most budget power stations are DC pass-through only. If at all)Second, the Wh and mAh compared to others at this price point is way better. I tested the outputs with a multimeter and a USB tester and they are pretty much spot on.Third, the 12V DC output is regulated! I haven't seen any other budget power station with this option. Great for CPAP users and people looking to use a 12V cooler.The build quality is also great! The digital screen with input/output readings makes knowing the power draw and charging wattage very convenient. Especially when charging with solar.PS. The customer service is excellent too. I broke the handle on mine (the "screws" that hold the handle on are not screws... they are pins with a snap ring on the end. I tried to tighten it and the snap ring fell off inside the unit.) They sent me out a replacement immediately!Excellent product and a company that stands behind their products! Will buy from them again!

This is a great value. Easy to charge, easy to use, easy to store when not in use and it takes up very little space. I charged 2 cordless fans, charged my phone and ran a sewing machine, all in ONE charge! Highly recommended!

Works as it should, and a good value for the cost and common indoor uses. I use it as an emergency option for running laptop, cable modem, and router during extended power outages and occasionally for camping. The modem and router stay plugged into the inverter 24x7 and the supplied a/c adapter JUST keeps up with pass-thru charging and running them, which is great! Would be 5 stars if a few improvements were made. Quiet the fan for the power inverter. It only turns on when needed, but it is quite loud - like a small hair dryer. Since we keep the inverter on all the time here (pass thru charging from a/c and simultaneous discharge through inverter), the fan cycles on a few times each hour and can be heard throughout the house. Add a feature to dim the display lights and not flash the charging indicator on and off. While the display is easily read in sunlight and offers useful data, the various lights are way too bright for using this nearby in the dark and hoping to sleep or otherwise be discreet. Provide a cover, recessed buttons, master switch, or electronic lockout so it is harder to turn the unit on/off by bumping into the buttons, especially when the unit is packed up as you wouldn’t want it to turn on accidentally while packed and closed off from cooling air nor to be surprised by a discharged battery. Given the handle is quite robust, consider making better use of the material and weight by allowing the handle to do more and lock into different positions...I would love for the handle to double as a stand to keep the unit an inch or two off the ground while in use, secure wires from pulling out, hold a rain cover, or clamp/aim a solar panel or sunshade. Due to the cooling fan, outdoor users should consider ambient sunlight, air temperature, and the fan drawing in nearby mist, dust, or sand. A removable and cleanable lightweight foam filter ahead of the air intake might be nice to catch any junk that could get drawn in by the fan, reducing periodic cleaning of the device’s innards. Reluctant to use outside of a car or closed tent, or otherwise near salt air, blown rain, spills, splashes, or humid/cool conditions where condensate could form. An IP 6x rating would be dreamy.
