[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great backup power generator! Not only is it sturdy and built to last, but it is incredibly functional. With multiple inputs and outputs, you’re sure to always be able to have emergency power at your fingertips.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this product to use as a back up generator for home use in case of emergency. My family soon realized this power station is also great to use in the backyard instead of having to be close to outdoor outlets. The station charges super fast in about 3 hrs for a full charge and i plan to purchase the solar panels sold separately for more convenient outdoor use. I highly recommend this product!

I was able to use my GB1000 in a few applications. I first used it to power our parade float in our city's holiday parade, and the unit outperformed my expectations! We had to wait longer than expected, but we still ended with plenty of battery to do it again! Second, I took it to the woods for hunting season, and again, it outperformed. I was very impressed with its battery capacity, almost silent operation, and functionality! As a bonus, it has a wireless phone charger on the top that protects your phone with the carrying handle! *Note- As a Generac employee, I was invited to test the product in exchange for my honest feedback

Took camping with 100% battery life...charged 2 dead & cold phones = 6% battery. Ran a CPAP and electric starter on a gas powered heater = 28% battery. Filled air mattresses and camped for 3 nights...still came home with 5% battery. Using the solar panel for 11 hours on a partially cloudy day in October in WI, charged battery 46%. Looking at getting a 2nd panel. My friends and family are all looking into getting their own now.

[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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This portable power station from Generac is a must have for every household in my opinion. You can do so much with this power station and its light enough to carry it everywhere. I love the design of the power station itself and all its features. It offers you multiple outlets and ports and has an excellent power output. You can charge the unit 3 different ways from a wall outlet, a 12v vehicle charger, or with solar panels. It did take a little over 2 hrs to fully charge the generator to use the first time. But it will run a wide variety of appliances and tools. It offers 2 usb-c ports and 2 usb-a ports along with 120v outlets and a wireless charger on top of the unit. Which will charger your phone super fast. It also offers a light above the led display which tells how many volts are going in or out and the percentage left on the unit. This is a great unit and can be used during power outages, camping and when you need to power something offsite at work. I highly recommend this unit.

Bought this right after the hurricane and Georgia is absolutely wonderful. The charging time is less than a couple hours. However, I have another one but their charging time is six hours. This blows circles around. However, I have another one, but the charging time is six hours. This blows circles around it. I will say to anyone who up this portable charging station will absolutely love it! Genrac truly lives up to its name!

[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.

I had the privilege to be able to test out this product at home as a Generac employee. I was very impressed with what I observed. The ease of use, portability, capability, and appearance were all high quality. I am pleased that Generac is offering a home product like this suitable for numerous situations and uses. Can carry/move at will, not be reliant on gas or propane (electric), and power anything from your phone to a refrigerator as needed. Thumbs up!

As a Generac employee, I was invited to test the product in exchange for my honest feedback. Myself and my close friends and my family were really impressed with the GB1000. The unboxing experience was straightforward, and we found the documentation was helpful. The first night it was in my possession, my friends and I put it through its paces, plugging in a portable heater and a car vacuum and charging a power tool battery pack as well as our phones. The GB1000 was more than capable of handling all the load we could throw at it, and calmly and quietly went about its business dispensing a steady stream of power to all devices. We liked the large colour screen as much for its clarity as for the vital information it displays, including input and output wattage and battery life but also the estimated total battery life in hours. This last read-out is dynamic, and changes based on how much power the GB1000 outputting; valuable information that lets you know how much time is left before you need to recharge. The wireless charging pad is a handy—and pretty exclusive—feature and the two USB-C charging ports are another premium that I used to rapidly charge my family's iPhones and iPads during a one-week cottage rental. On the same trip I also used the GB1000 to power a large portable fan—on the beach!—during a heatwave. When I got home, I cleaned the sand out of the car with my vacuum plugged into the portable power station for over an hour. One piece of feedback I have for making the device a little better would be to add some visual indication of which outlets and ports are controlled by the AC and DC buttons. This could take the form of a line marking which buttons control which ports. Since the wireless charging pad kind of sits on its own, i.e., is not on the front display area, you could add some text signifying that it is powered by the DC button. This might help users like me, who may not intuitively understand that the wireless pad is charged by DC current. Bottomline, the Generac GB1000 has a lot of nice premium touches, is easy to operate, rugged, has a large storage capacity, and can handle power-hungry devices with ease. So, if you are in the market for a portable battery station with a lot of storage capacity to power all of your favourite devices off the grid and during power outages, you should give this model a serious look.
