      Nice. We had a planned power outage for 8 hours. I have a yeti 1500x. In our garage It powered our 7cu deep freezer and our 2nd fridge which is a dorm type fridge that is about 5 feet tall. There was about 60% left when the power came back on. I even hooked up the garage door. We have the battery set to preserve battery life mode so it tops off at 85% and discharges to 15%. The fridge and deep freezer are energy sipping and using the 120w power supply it struggled when trying to charge back up. I feel 200w of solar panels would be minimum to run indefinitely however 3-4 panels would be optimal. It can handle 600w input. These power generators are no joke.
      I do recommend USB powered dimming led light bulbs.

We are looking into solar panels for our Coleman popup so I didn't order the solar panels too. I felt that this suited our needs the best while we are out at our property trying to clear the land and in emergency situations.

    Power stations are becoming really popular now, probably because of the bad talk about our electric power grid. I already had a backup battery power supply system for our computers, router, and one TV, which kept them on a couple times when the power went off. However, these power stations will do the same thing and almost as quickly for computer or other items when home power goes off. I hadn't heard of these before, however EcoFlow was the top rated when we got both of ours, however all brands are good, so price is the best decision maker, unless one has a feature like the light that you want. (Some brands will run AC when charging unless the battery is totally empty when you do it.)

      @@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving They are called that because of marketing reasons and that's that. In the example you made the unit is not generating power, it's storing the power generated by the solar panels attached to it. Might aswell also call it a gas generator then since you can also charge it up with that, right? I get showcasing the unit for a sponsor so you can keep producing the content we like but there is no need to try to justify this marketing practice as if it actually makes sense.
