To preface this review, my wife and I have owned a similar-capacity solar generator for the last few years. For reference, that one cost nearly three times as much as this while only offering slightly more capacity. Because of this, I feel uniquely equipped to compare and assess what makes a great portable power station. The most surprising part? This one is every bit as good as the expensive one—every bit. In fact, in multiple ways, this one is even better. I particularly appreciate the variety of ports, which are far more versatile than those on the pricier unit we own. That one only has two standard USB ports, a single three-prong outlet, and a 12V automotive outlet, which can be extremely limiting. This FlashFish model, on the other hand, has six power outputs—including multiple USB-C ports—as well as the lighter adapter, making it far more functional for different devices. And it delivers great power, too—I had my phone connected to the high-wattage USB-C port, and it charged faster than any charger I’ve used. Another major advantage is the screen, which is far superior to the small monochrome display on my other unit. On top of that, this power station works incredibly well for my portable studio lights. Since they draw so little power, I can run multiple hour-long photography sessions and still have plenty of battery left. The only negative I can call out on this whole device is the peculiar exclusion of the charger. You read that right, this device does not come with a charger intentionally. It did come with a small USB-C cable, so I am assuming you can charge it with that, as the manual appears to indicate, provided you have a brick powerful enough, but there is no dedicated charger included with this product. I'm pretty positive you can use the universal power adapters as long as they meet the requirements listed on the port, but do bear in mind that an official charger is not included. The battery life is so good I have not had to charge it yet, so I will definitely update this review if anything noteworthy comes up. Strange, but not a deal killer because the rest is so well implemented. Overall, I'm more than impressed—highly, highly recommended all around!

Great portable battery for on the go or backup battery. Holding the power button for a few seconds to turn on each module. Charging is fairly quick when you first charge it. Tested the product on garage lighting LED's. Seems to hold well with the battery.
