Generac GB1000 Portable Generator

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Generac genuinely impressed me with its portable power station designs. It offers excellent power output, includes a wide range of outlets and ports, and many additional features. To charge this unit, it's as easy as to plug the power station into the wall to charge and recharge it after use. So convenient and easy. If you're looking for clean portable power this it. Lithium-ion battery-powered generators are a great way to get portable power where you need it when it’s unsafe or unwise to use a gas generator. The output is “clean” energy, so it’s perfectly safe to run/charge your sensitive electronics. Just keep in mind the higher the energy needs of what you’re using, the faster you’ll drain the battery. This will be so useful on the go or when the power goes out and my husband is not around to get our gas powered generator going. Another nice feature Generac has a display that shows you the active output in watts along with an estimated remaining runtime on an LED display. Here are a few examples of what can be ran. A Refrigerator, Coffeemaker, TV and Blu-ray playerd, fans, and Lights. Generac includes a generous amount of outlets and ports for charging on its portable power station. There are three 120V outlets, two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, and a 12V car outlet. Also a wireless charger. You can use as many of these as you want at once as long as you don’t draw more than 1600 continuous watts. Although the more watts you use the faster it uses the charge. We tested all this out and everything ran beautifully, so when the next storm hits and the power goes out, I am confident this will be a life saver. Everyone needs one of these for it portability and dependability.

Love this thing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the GB1000 1600-Watt Portable Power Station mostly for camping trips, but have found I use it a lot for tailgating or projects around the house. Now I don't have to pull out long extension cords all the time. After getting the solar panels, I can really get a lot of work done without needing to rely on the grid.

So impressed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is amazing! I charged it and began trying it out. Charged Apple Watch, phone, iPad, and computer. Very fast. Next tried refrigerator. Oh my gosh. So amazing. I left it plugged in for over an hour and it was still going strong. Best thing-it came with a car charger so I can always keep it charged. Very heavy because it is so substantial. I also tried it on my blower. I love this thing! Back to trying it on microwave and most importantly my coffee pot, which I knew will be a breeze. Buy it!

Great Back up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This arrived in the aftermath of a tropical storm, couldn't have been a better time. I was able to get it fully charged before we completely lost power in our camper. This was enough to keep us going. Fridge was cold and water was hot, not to mention we had lights to see. I love how quiet it is and the wireless charger works great to charge our phones. We were not left in the dark!! This is a great addition to our storm gear.

Convenient Power

My Niece got married and we had an 8ft heart that lit up for people to take pictures with. But in order to get power to it we would have had to run an extension cord across the concrete patio where everyone was walking. The GB1000 worked perfectly to power the lights and be completely silent without having to run cords anywhere.

Will be fantastic for camping

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This portable power station is amazing! It took about an hour to an hour and a half to fully charge, but once it was done it worked great! There are 4 outlets on the front to plug in any device plus USB ports. I cannot wait to go camping g next year to use this.

Best Present Ever!

Picked up the new GB1000 and the box seemed super heavy. Once I pulled the unit from the packaging it was still a bit heavy but so small and easy to carry, even for an older gal like me! Plugged it in to charge up and it only took a couple of hours to fully charge. Then we used it to power our Christmas Tree and holiday music for the day! The best things about this power source are that it is totally silent, safe to use indoors, and it is safe to have around pets! My husband says, "best present ever!" Note: As a Generac employee, I was invited to test the product in exchange for my honest feedback.

Big Battery capacity

My friend forgot to charge their power bank. This big battery had enough power to fully charge their power bank and had plenty of power left to spare. I had enough to change multiple devices for 4 days and use an electric tea kettle several times on top of that.

GB1000 A GREAT PRODUCT

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Took it about 3 or so hours to fully charge and it has held the charge for about 2 weeks now. It is a good size to take to the campground and plug stuff in that needs to be. I can carry it with ease it is not too heavy. It has a ac cord car cord and a solar cord charger. It has AC output and USB also. You can lay your phone on top of it to charge also. It has a list in the manual of how long things will stay charged which is really handy like a tv will run off of it for 8 hours.

Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually use my inverter at home as backup in case the power goes out and the battery backup fails for my sump pump. This portable power station is my new go to in case of emergency. It’s able to be used for so many different scenarios too. Camping, tailgating, parties in a park. I am amazed at what an awesome generator this is. It’s light, less than 30lbs, and has a cool storage compartment to keep all my cords neatly organized. The display is user friendly and easy to read. I can charge it to 80% in a little over two hours. It’s amazing and I highly recommend it.
