About EnginStar Solar Generator, 300W Portable Power Station
Overall Feedback:
85% positive
82% appreciated the size and weight
I noticed that this portable generator weighs only 6 pounds, much lighter than a 65-pound deep cycle battery at the same price.
This portable generator weighs only 6 pounds, much lighter than a 65-pound deep cycle battery at the same price.
The portable generator is super light (6lbs) and only about as big as a normal lunch box.
83% were satisfied with the long run time
I ran the CPAP for 2 full nights and still have over 3/4 of the charge left, indicating that the run time of the portable generator is good.
At 35 watts at 25F, I got around 5 hours of run-time from the power station.
I can get 7 hours of power when I add my laptop to the mix.
I was able to run my 37 inch Vizio TV and Nvidia Shield for over 2 hours without any problem.

82% liked the quiet operation, however, 18% found it too noisy
The generator runs completely silent without making any noise.
The fan runs a bit loud, but it doesn't run often.
I noticed that another commenter had issues with a similar but larger unregulated 12V supply that made whining noises due to varying voltage.

81% found the portability convenient, but 19% struggled
The portable generator is lightweight and easy to carry.
The generator is very portable, but lacks a cover for the 12-volt port.
80% appreciated the power output
I was able to run my 37 inch Vizio TV and Nvidia Shield for over 2 hours without any issues using this device. It also powered all of my fans. The max power rating is 300w and multiple devices can be plugged in as long as the draw does not exceed 300w at once.
On a full charge, I tested the generator by plugging a household box fan into it and it ran for 9 hours.
