I tend to want to wait to review products that I purchase so I know they will work not just initially, but over time. How long do they last? How well do they perform? Are there any weird idiosyncratic things about the item that don't turn up initially?I can say with good authority that this little Jackery has handled a lot over the past year-plus of use. We have had power outages that lasted for hours - this ran a normal light in our living room to help make things feel normal while the power was off.My wife has cochlear implants and needs to dry them at night when we go camping. This has not only run that, but also charged our phones.And when I decided to set up a huge 14' x 8' movie screen on our shed and run a DVD projector on it for 1.5 hours? It ran that and STILL had plenty of power left over. And we had to so that because that shed is 500 feet away from the closest electrical outlet.To add to all that, we got the larger solar panel for it, so when we go camping and there's no power around, we can recharge the Jackery from the Sun!This thing rocks!Can it do everything? No. It won't run a curling iron or portable heater - those draw too much power. But for lighter jobs when you need to plug things in, or charge stuff, or run some items off grid?This is a nice portable power pack.
