If you live in apartment where gasoline or gas generators are not allowed, this battery is an excellent alternative. You can connect a variety of devices (e.g. floor fan, lamps, cell phone charging, laptop, internet, TV, among others). Keep in mind that maybe you will need extension cords. You can connect a refrigerator although you must keep in mind the watts because that will impact how long the battery will last.

I bought MP 1000 portable unit from Sam’s Club It is a solid unit reasonably priced with so many features. I took it for camping and used it to run my CPAP machine for sleep apnea average 8 hours a night for 7 nights and charging my phone lasted on a single charge amazing. During recent power outage with rain storm used it to run small electric heater charging phones run microwave I have roof solar panels I charge it and use it to run my computer and monitor save me on electric bills Overall very satisfied highly recommend purchasing it.

I got this at Sam's and find it very easy to use. Has a lot of features like all the USB ports and the AC - been using it to wirelessly charge my phone also. I was surprised how long the Lithium battery lasts. Gonna take it to the beach for coffee maker and blender. Love it. I recommend it.

Excellent choice for apartments where other power equipment are not allowed.

Ideal for apartments. I can connect an internet box, laptop, fans, and lamp., of course, my mobile.

Really good power station, has awesome features like Sin AC power for delicate power needs. Charges pretty fast, got a full charge from wall outlet in 8-10 hours. My only dissatisfaction is that there was not specification or any mention of the the life cycle of the power station and I guess that should've been a red flag. You can only find it in the user manual once you've bought it and look in, the MP330, MP500 and MP1000 has a life cycle of 800 up to 60% capacity. Which for an item like this for this price is extremely low while orthers are rated to 3000 cycles up to 80% capacity.

The original advertisement stated “SOLAR POWERED”. That’s why I bought it. I’ve been through many hurricanes. This product worked well for several days. We were able to run the coffee pot and a small toaster. It could not handle the toaster oven. We were able to charge our cell phones and IPad. When I went to recharge this unit I found out, to my chagrin, that the solar component is an add on. Boo Hoo to me. We were high and dry for several more days. That’s why I did not give it 5 stars.
