   This is well-made and has great features, including the integrated light. Battery life is decent and even runs a small fan all night long, without even going down one bar of power! Great for camping!

   I’ve got this set up on my inside window sill. Fits there very well. And I do charge from the light coming through the forest. I was amazed that anything would charge there. And it’s slow, but I’m getting solar power. Not really enough to keep up with the charging, I do have to bring this up to full charge with house power occasionally.
   Loved the box it came in, too. Very well packaged for a portable case.
   I’ve been charging things off of it since I got it. Mostly off of regular USB. Haven’t tried the A/C option yet.

   Arrived rather quickly and arrived fully charged. When trying to charge the battery from empty this thing takes a VERY long time. I have the solar panels in DIRECT sunlight. I literally have the solar panels on the top of my car parked in a parking lot at work and this thing still took 24 hours to charge half way. I have the solar panels out during the 9 hours I am at work each day and the battery does not go over half charged. The battery charges fine via the outlet but not via the solar panels. I would not recommend this product. At $200 heck no, maybe for $100 and that is if the solar panels actually worked.

   Very small but at least it has a solar panel and I think it lasts perfect for Cell phones or iPad. I thought it was great super tiny not bulky works great.

   If you want to plan for an emergency, this MARBERO 148Wh Solar Generator with Panels and 200W Portable Power Station is handy to have. You will want to get it charged up early, then check on it every 6 months to top it up. Be careful of what you’re plugging into it to ensure you don’t exceed the load it can handle. The unit itself is very compact; about the size of a Power Wheels battery, but a bit lighter. The handle makes it very easy to carry. Both flashlight panels are bright and have different levels of brightness. The panel on top (same side as the plugs) has two levels of brightness. The larger panel has three levels of brightness plus it can flash S-O-S automatically. The battery level is easy to see in dim light, but harder to see in bright light. The buttons on the side turn on the lights, the plugs, and the DC plug (each has their own button). To use the DC plug, you must plug the DC plug adapter into the DC In port. You get one grounded plug and one ungrounded plug, plus two fast-charge USBs, two slow-charge USBs, and one fast-charge USB C plugs. This is not waterproof. Neither the battery nor the solar panels, so if you are charging this outside, keep an eye out for rain. I charged the battery using only the solar panels, though you can plug in the AC adapter to charge it otherwise. It took me 3.5 days to fully charge the battery. The first two days consisted of putting it outside, tilting it for best exposure, and following the sun. I brought it in when rainclouds appeared, so it wasn’t getting a full day’s worth of sun. I then set it in a western-facing window for a day and an eastern-facing window the final day. The solar panels did charge through my windows, though I’m not sure if they charged as well as they did when outside and unfiltered. Given how long the battery takes to fully charge off of solar alone, that makes this impractical for regular use, like if you wanted to take it camping. You’ll get a bit of a charge, and if you only need to charge things like cell phones, it would probably be fine. If you’re looking to run a TV off of it, I don’t think you’d get enough charge in a day for the consumption you would use at night. It’s a well-constructed kit, but I would have likes to have some sort of container for it so I can keep everything together. As is, I have to use a bag for the AC and DC plugs and tie it to the handle of the battery to keep things together. The solar panel folds up, but there is no way to keep it folded besides leaving the battery on top of it. The solar panels have grommets in the corners and the kit comes with two small carabiners, but those grommets don’t line up when it’s folded up, so you can’t use the carabiners to clip the corners together. There was nothing in the instructions on what the carabiners are even used for, so my best guess is they are used to hang the solar panel somewhere so it’s not on the ground. The cost of this item was the one thing I couldn’t get behind. It’s a lot of money for what you’re getting. If the solar panel could charge the battery faster (like a full charge in a day), that would open the usefulness of this kit to more regular use. As is, it’s really just good for emergency use so you know you can charge your phone or run important electronics in the case of a loss of power. I removed 1 star for the high cost (listed price matched the watts of the battery) and 1 star for the inability to charge efficiently for regular use. I did notice they had a coupon, at the time of this review, that lowered the price to a more acceptable range for what this product it. If that becomes the normal price, I can add a star back. If subsequent use of the product improves, I will update my review as well. If this review is not updated, then nothing has changed.

   Overall, it’s a solid product for its purpose. It’s compact, lightweight, and easy to set up, making it great for camping or emergencies. The included solar panel works fine, though it charges pretty slowly, especially in less-than-ideal sunlight. I also like the multiple output options—it’s handy for charging smaller devices like phones, lights, and even my laptop in a pinch.

   That said, it has its limitations. The battery isn’t massive, so you’ll need to manage your power usage carefully. The rounded DC plug for the solar panel feels a bit restrictive since it limits compatibility with other panels. Also, the USB-C port doesn’t support fast charging, which was a bit disappointing.

   If you’re looking for something to cover basic power needs during outdoor trips or outages, this does the job well. However, if you need a more versatile or higher-capacity setup, you might want to consider other options. All in all, I’d say this is a dependable entry-level solar generator, especially with the current coupons making it more affordable.
