Ecotricity Portable Emergency Backup Power Solar Generator, Plug and Play

I like the fact that this has 5 separate outlets for fans , lamps, microwave, etc and an outlet for charger adapters. It takes 5 full days to fully charge from an AC outlet. Have not tried solar charger yet. Be sure and turn off when storing. I did not do this the first time and it actually ran down about halfway while just sitting in the closet. It has all kinds of little indicator lights that drain the charge. Had to re charge fully then turn off unit to store. The generator box while small (about the size of three shoe boxes) is heavy but seems very substantial and heavy duty. Solar panel is too heavy to do by yourself if a women so get help to set up. Also have a large beach towel to cover unit with when taking out of sun to keep it from continuing the charge.
Once you get it all folded down for storage the wheels do roll okay but they should be larger because it is hard to roll by yourself. I am saying all this because from the advertisement it seemed like it would be a quick roll and set up and roll and store, but it does take time and is heavy. Also the shipping box is huge so you will need delivery instructions in a small house or apt. I would recommend this to anyone who may face a power outage. The price was the best for what you are getting.
