3.4/5
A cheap, light 296Wh station for phones, cameras, CPAP and small camping loads. Buyers who will cycle it often should pay a little more for a LiFePO4 model with a longer warranty.

Pros
- Low price for a pure sine wave station with nearly 300Wh
- Light enough to carry one-handed at 6.5 lb
- Regulated 12V and 24V DC outputs plus a car socket for fridges, fans and lights
Cons
- Lithium-ion cells rated for about 1,000 cycles, so heavy daily use wears it out much sooner than LiFePO4 rivals
- Slow to refill: about 7 hours from the wall through a 65W laptop-style brick
- USB-C tops out at 18W, too little to charge most laptops at full speed
- Only a 12-month warranty and no independent capacity tests
