[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.

As a Generac employee, I was invited to test the GB1000 product in exchange for my honest feedback. ** PROS ** • Good layout of ports • Buttons worked well, and were “tactical” • Not to heavy, can carry around • Back pocket helpful • Display visually good • All cords included • Wireless cell phone charger good idea • Power Station can be disposed of by calling IASD • Packaging was well designed, very easy to unpack • Long Three-Year warranty • Weight of unit is reasonable for carrying with one hand • Internal fan has a nice hum to it, like white noise, could help put the kids to sleep while camping. :) ** CONS ** • USB Type A sockets are mounted upside-down • Internal AC power charging supply stopped working after 6 days of use. • Visual indicator that it is charging after it goes to sleep only works in the dark, (not visible in daylight) (maybe add an Orange LED to indicate charging) • Unit does not stay on at very low wattage levels, due to sleep mode. • AC power cord fit is very tight, feels like its ½ way in, and requires Herculean effort to push in/remove it. • Needs a separate “Quick-Start” Guide • Battery symbol info on Display seemed “un-reliable”, discharge times on display are about 14% higher than actual. • Actual weight is 6 % more (1.7 Lbs) than specified weight in Manual. • AC sockets are polarized, which is confusing because doesn’t make sense with no ground on Portable Power Station. • Ports, DC or AC, are not Delineated clearly, (maybe add some color). • AC and DC charging cords can be plugged into the unit outlet and inlet at the same time, nowhere in manual does it say not to do this.

We took theGB1000 with us camping over 4th of July weekend to use at our family reunion cook out. The GB1000 kept our hot food at safe temperatures for well over 4 hours. This was a pleasure because in the past we always overloaded the campsites electrical capacity and ended up juggling which foods were was able to be kept warm at one time., and never had to worry about blowing fuses as we have in the past years.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this Generator to run Fans for our girls in the dugout! One charge lasted all weekend! The parents enjoyed the breeze as well in between games! Highly recommend!

Jerry Vanhoose of VCAMS LLC is a consummate professional. I would highly recommend him for Generac installation. His devotion to detail is second to none. Jerry is easy to work with and is a trustworthy professional. He is the best of the best.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this and haven’t even used it to its max potential yet! Great peace of mind knowing if something happens we can have power for our fridge and phones!

I bought this generator recently, there’s not even 10 hours used and it’s junk, will not stay running. I’ve tried everything to keep it running but constantly just turns off. Don’t waste your money on this junk
