About Westinghouse 194Wh 300 Peak Watt Portable Power Station and Solar Generator
Overall Feedback:
71% positive
67% liked the sturdy construction, but 33% found it flimsy
The product is lightweight and small, and it is built extremely well.
I was able to charge multiple devices at the same time while having the built-in light on.
I am dissatisfied with the quality of the portable power stations. The batteries are of low quality and the product is absolute garbage.
When I discharged the device from 80% to 60%, it suddenly shut down without any warning.
66% liked the fuel efficiency
When my battery is fully charged, it provides approximately 2-3 hours of energy.
65% found maintenance straightforward, but 35% faced complications
I contacted customer support and the manager informed me that the problem was likely with the internal charge controller. They assured me that they would replace the unit promptly.
I charged the unit every few months to maintain a charge but it continually got worse.
I stored the battery at around 60% to extend its life, but it died completely in less than two years and would not hold a charge. It was never abused and was kept in a hot or cold environment. I won't change the battery.
As an electronic engineer, I found the cheapness of the parts laughable after pulling an old one apart.
67% were satisfied with the quiet operation, but 33% were bothered
On medium speed, I ran the generator fan for over 3 hours and it still shows a full charge.
When I plugged in a typical 16" fan, it made a weak electrical groan, indicating that the noise level of the outdoor generator is not up to the mark.
I had to unplug the generator because it was making strange noises and emitting a burning plastic smell.
70% found it easy to transport, but 30% found it bulky
It is portable and can be carried in a carry-on luggage when flying internationally.
The outdoor generator is lightweight, easy to transport and works well for charging phone/laptop.
I find the power station awesome and portable.
It is great for hiking and easy to carry in a backpack.

74% appreciated the high power output, but 26% found it insufficient
The new unit has a heavy output and longer battery life while still being lightweight.
With the proper DC output car charger adapter, I can use the generator to power my CPAP machine for over 7 hours and still have some battery life left.
My device's power output is below the specified range and it is causing issues with my CPAP machine.
I had to switch to a blower to handle the initial load on a built-in air mattress inflation.
66% appreciated the long runtime, but 34% found it limited
The outdoor generator worked great for 6 months or so.
I have been running the generator on medium speed for over 3 hours and it still shows a full charge.
The generator powered our TV for about 4 hours, which was perfect.
The product did not perform as expected. It only lasted 4 hours when used with a fan on low for camping, despite claims that it could run the entire night.

The product is easy to use and transport with its small, compact, and lightweight design.
The product was easy to use and delivered quickly with 75% charge.
