got this unit for an extended stay camping in Yellowstone Nat'l Park. I charged it up, and started testing it at home before I left. Unit has 5 bars for the battery completely charged. I use this for my CPAP and the first 2 nights, it worked fine and the battery bars didn't move. After the third night, it was down 2 bars. After the fourth night it went down one more bar to 2 bars. On the next night, with 2 bars remaining, I went to sleep for about 2 1/2 hours and the unit was DEAD. So now I know it'll last me 4 nights using it for JUST my CPAP, and not needing to recharge it.

It cannot be counted on to work in a power outage. Ours is only 2 months old. Our power went out today. The iGen300s has been left plugged in and charging for more than the past week. When I went to use it today it displayed 100% charged. I plugged it into our fireplace fan. It displayed a 32w AC draw and lasted only 5 minutes before going completely dead. This is the 2nd time this has happened to us. I charged it again of our gas generator and it said fully charged after less than an hour. I then tried again and this time it lasted about 1 hour with only the 32w load. The display said it was half full at the time it died. It has also smelled like chemicals (like new carpet) the entire time - still does after 2 months. Bottom line, you cannot count on this unit.

A week or so ago we had a power outage that lasted 12 hours, not a common event in my location, Snohomish PUD in the Puget Sound region of Washington state.. but something I noticed when look at my Wi-Fi tablet during the outage... my Wi-Fi was the only one up in the neighborhood, but it was just the Wi-Fi extender on a Yeti 100 power supply... but it was just the extender... this purchase was just the right size to power the router and the wireless handset landline network.. this product should fill that gap in connections to landline and internet, a just right sized solution I hope without tying up Goal Zero Yeti generators I already have , The test will be during the next outage... will I be able to follow outage websites, news, and of course games to pass the time of during a few hours of an outage... Otherwise the design is nice, the light is of good brightness, the weight is light, and since it should be stored plugged in... and emergency power of internet seems a good use.

Upon unboxing I am rather impressed with the quality of packaging, which most of the time reflects the quality of product inside. I'm also rather impressed with the layout/design of the unit and the rigidity of the material used on it. Not only is it simply laid out and easy to understand, it is also very well arranged and has all the connecting features that anyone would need to plug in the devices that this unit can handle. The user manual is also straight to the point and easy to read and understand. I am currently waiting to test it out as I have it charging for the first time out of box plugged into an AC home outlet and can't wait to see how it performs.

I bought this unit prior to our hurricane season to power my computers in the event of a power loss. Fortunately, we did not see a hurricane in our area, but this unit provided continuous uninterrupted power for my video camera while shooting on location and for my laptop when I was unable to connect to the house electricity. It will become a part of my safety equipment during my long distance drives.

I own the iGen600s and iGen200s. The 200 charges my laptop fully twice. I purchased the 600 for emergency medical device power. The box was damaged when I received the package. I opened and charged. I wanted to test the 600, so I charged my laptop once, and cellphone twice. Two days later, I attempted to charge my laptop again and the unit died after charging the laptop to 40%, well short of the unit's advertised capability. I am very disappointed. Many recent reviewers have posted after I purchased and had poor experiences too.

Just finished a 2 week tour of America and the Generator was my primary power during the trip. It was constantly in use. The unit powered fine from both the car and from the solar panel I had installed on the roof of my car. Was loving the unit. Then day 3 or 4 happened. The car outlet seems to have fail around the 3 // 4 day of continuous use. I was using the outlet to power a portable fridge and it was working like a charm for the 3 to 4 days of continuous use. Then it stopped working. Now, I can not power anything from the car outlet. However, the AC Cable adapter that came with the unit worked fine for powering the portable fridge.

I have not used extensively so far but am very satisfied. I will continue to evaluate and am interested in purchasing additional units for other clients and likely of larger capacity. I also am evaluating your portable solar panel WSolar60p for charging the iGen300s.

It worked for a week then now it won't hold a charge at all

efficient and user friendly. previous one got stolen. buy this new one at the same price as 2 years ago
