Anker SOLIX F3800 Portable Power Station and 400W Solar Panel, 3,840Wh

Use it weekly, nice unit and does what it says.

I bought this incase my electric went out so I could still run my electric appliances. I use it daily to run my portable standing air conditioner in the summer. It works great and the panels work great. I definitely use it during the electric companies peak hours then I recharge it overnight when it doesn't cost as much. You can charge your phone, computer but make sure you bought the correct one to run your computer, you just need to get use to how many watts you Appliance uses then see how many hours it can run. The panels keeps it charging but it doesn't quite keep up with the output I use. But my air condition on low runs about 6 to 7 hours and I can run a standing fan on low also. If you turn the fan etc on high, you won't get as much time. I need more panels. But I love it. I definitely recommend it.

Everything works as it should and the unit charges fairly quickly when you have a sunny day. The the one thing that I do not like was the solar panels that are portable. I will be replacing them with permanent solar panels.

An awesome product for camping portability and power are great and also Reliable. Most Younger people want to bring their electronics. I want to say mabey about 60% don't go camping the old fashion way.

Arrived quickly and in excellent condition. Bought for backup power in case of outage. To date I haven’t had a power outage so I just cycle the unit once every couple months. So far operates as advertised.

Assembly was virtually nonexistent - easy. Some tricky moments setting up app connection.

I wish I had not bought this. I bought this on recommendation of a friend. Amazon/Anker do not allow returns. The product was shipped without a User Manual. I had to print it from the Amazon website. The User Manual is terribly written and even with a degree in electrical engineering it was not very intuitive. Small text, very hard to read even with reading glasses, had to use a magnifying glass. The system ships with a pile of 7 cables with no labels of any kind on them. The directions for recharging only show a picture of a cable, very small, and show plugging into a wall socket and the three prong connector on the side. There is no label saying this side is the charging ports or these are the output sockets. The diagram of the solar panel connection shows 3 panels, there are no directions for using a single panel. You have to figure out the single panel cable and connections yourself. The charge rate for their 400W panel was only 145W in our backyard in full sun. So for 3840 watts I would estimate that as a 26 hour charge time... pretty useless even in summer. You will run to zero charge way faster than it recharges. Edited to add, when a slight hazey cloud appeared the charge rate dropped to 22W. Pulled it inside to charge on 110VAC. Also this unit is very heavy. If you are older or not strong it is very difficult to take outside if you don't have an exit without steps. I used to be very strong, 245lb bench and 120lb curl sets when I weighed 145lbs. It was difficult for me to lift 1 step of 10 inches from our patio into the house. They should have optional 25ft cables so the unit can stay in the house when using the solar panel, which is still useless. Do your own research and choose another brand.

Finally! A generator that does what it is supposed to do at a reasonable cost.
