I bought this a couple of days ago. Followed instructions to charge for 40 hours before using. It would much easier to use and much better product if it had cables that could easily reach the battery, provide a 12V outlet to power say an automotive vacuum cleaner, and finally a power inverter to provde 110V power in times of need. For me the extremely short cables were problematic and end game.

This thing comes with no cord for AC. Only two male prongs to plug an extension cord female end into it mounted to unit body. I hooked it to a small air tank to see how high it would actually pump pressure. It was flat out stalled at 62 pounds, with no further increase after several minutes. I don't want to give the other one I bought as a gift without a cord. Nice looking with a good shape would be the good things I would say about it.

I bought this power station a year ago. I have a classic car that sits in storage. One tire always loses pressure slowly. I've used this unit a dozen times to fill the tires and it's quite reliable. I was at a car club event recently and a buddy needed a jump start for his newer Bentley coupe. He said "we can try, but that little jump starter won't be strong enough". Low and behold, his Bentley fired right up saving him a call to AAA. I'm very pleased with how long this unit holds a charge (I keep it in my trunk) and how reliably it has performed. I recently bought a competitive unit to keep at home and it failed immediately (and the replacement was no better). I don't know what makes this particular Fatmax so reliable, but it seems to be cream of the crop at least for me!

They need to make the cables longer first of all, using it for a RAV4 2020 (terrible in itself), but it’ll work if used correctly. The reason for the one star is that it’ll turn on by itself every now and then- the battery tester will come on, or maybe it’s the compressor. The only way to turn off is to press the button- it’s like jammed but never been used.

This should be a one star review, but for some reason the app will only let me select two stars. The basics of all product expectations is that it reasonably does what it was made and advertized to do. This charger does not. The user interface (i.e. all the bottons you push to slect a function) is defectively designed in that the rubber buttons either dont work at all or get stuck, so that it won't work. The charging power output is unimpressive.

The area light tends to come on by itself for no explained reason. I have yet to contact the company, and will update this review if needed when I know more. If the battery can drain itself, if I was not able to see the unit, it would be worthless in an emergency.

Does not blow up air for a long time, have returned three bc the compressor blew out. A car tire or two might be safe but anything larger will not work. So if plans for an emergency equipment in your car is iffy. I would find something better for the price

I used this during an all-day power outage to charge my phone, worked great. I have also used the air compressor. I haven't had the need to use the jumper cables, but I like knowing I have his if I need it. Quick tip, this doesn't come with a cord to charge the power station. Most people have an extension cord or two but keep this in mind.

Thought these were amazing. We bought 1 to have with us in an older car we had, in case of flat tires, etc. Worked great. We used it for the light, the usb connections, filling many tires, it was awesome. So, we bought one for each of our parents, and bought 3 more for us, one for the house, and 2 for each of the other cars. Well, had a low tire out on the road, and the brand new unit in that vehicle would not even fill the tire. You could hear the compressor running, but it sounded different, and it would not push any air out. We returned it to the store for a replacement, and it seemed to work - for awhile, but the replacement stopped pushing air also. So in the past year, we have purchased 6, with 1 being replaced, so 7 units, and we only have 1 that still works and pushes air. Not sure if this is the typical Sams/Walmart buying seconds and substandard products so they can sell it cheaper, or if it is just a standard Stanley issue, but either way, it IS a Stanley issue, because they either have a substandard product, or they are selling substandard units at a reduced rate. Stanley, your name is still all over these sub standard products - why would you want that?

I had it for 8 months, the air compressor no longer works. The air hose is barely long enough and the screw on valve is really small and tedious to attach. It seems to overstate its capabilities, like maximum tire pressure and battery power. I've probably only used it 6 times and it seemed to lose half of its charge with the first use. I kept it charged and recharged without leaving it plugged in over 24 hours. it's really heavy and unnecessarily cumbersome with lots of empty unused space internally. handles that don't seem to be placed for balance or designed for comfort. Fully charged, the third time I used it, it didn't start a 6 cylinder diesel Mercedes, but a less expensive name brand was able to jump start the diesel Mercedes.
