– Power Station 1000W/666Wh, Mashine Portable Rechargeable Generator Inverter for Camping, RVs, Drones, Outdoor Lighting, with 4 AC Outlets and 4 USB Ports

Ordered on the Sunday and arrived on the Tuesday. Early impressions are really good. It's not huge and it's not too heavy. Well made product and easy to use. LED screen great for seeing how much power you are using and how much juice you have left. Barely makes any noise and battery life seems good. Only thing I would have said would have been handy to include in the package would be a power lead which you can charge the unit via the cigarette lighter when you are on the move. Other than that, I think it's great value and less than half the price of some of the other more well known makes. Perfect for taking away on campervan adventures, really handy for a day's work too so I can log on somewhere different, rather than sitting at home!

Really impressed with this power station. It’s well built, easy to use, and provides reliable power when needed. I’ve used it both at home and outdoors and it’s performed flawlessly every time. Charging is straightforward and it’s convenient to have multiple output options for different devices. However wont power most kettles with 1000w. The size and weight make it easy to carry around, and it feels sturdy enough to handle regular use. Overall, excellent value for money and a great bit of kit to have for travel, camping, or as a backup at home. Highly recommended!

Long lasting power Ideal for camping trips Worth buying!

Excellent product. It was delivered 2 days before the the original delivery date. It came 100% charged and ready to use. I’ve had 2 days of playing with it. It is currently providing power to my tv, virgin media box and ps4. It is providing endless power effortlessly. I’ve vacuumed the carpets, it provided the power for the vacuum cleaner. I’ve small 600w kettle and it boiled it twice. It’s charged my iPhone, powered a fan. It’s still giving power. It’s built well and will handle most jobs. The fan is noisy but not overpowering noise. It’s the perfect backup, adequate for most needs, camping, motorhome. For £169.99 it’s a bargain, in many ways a perfect weekend getaway wild camping, maybe more if only providing entertainment and phone/computer power. If using kettles or other kitchen power it would drain too quickly. Having solar charging may be a solution. I gave it 4. But really deserves 5 for value.

Whilst this thing packs a punch, what it fails to let you know is after buying and questioning it, it wont charge via solar unless its 36v apparently, nowhere does it state this in the decription. Frustrated is an understatement, i have spent extra on other cables thinking it may be the cables but no, it will not charge via solar, ive tried both 100w and 160w nothing works. It charges via mains but it states solar as well, hence why i bought it, disappointing to say the lease, im not about to buy a whole new solar system that gives 36v. It should be posted in the product description, very misleading, not happy

This is great. Solidly built and works really well. I did wonder whether I had received a faulty unit but that was not the case. When I initially tried to turn it on, the screen did not light after pressing the on button which is a bubble button (one that makes connection when depressing the plastic cover). I therefore thought that maybe because it was not charged and therefore could not light up. I charged the unit and after a few hours the green light came on the charging unit to indicate that it was fully charged, but I still could not turn it on. Knowing that it was charged, I continued to try to turn it on and eventually realised that I had not pressed the on button with enough pressure in a certain direction. I try not to press bubble buttons too hard in case they become fatigued. The screen lit up and now that I know how to press the button correctly, it works every time. I did notice from a review that a customer had received the unit and said that they could not switch it on. Maybe this was the reason that they had a problem. The charging unit has a fan which is good as this keeps the charging unit cool, but the charging speed is quite quick considering that the power station is 1,000 Watts and overheating should not be a problem. I do not find the noise of the power stations fans to be excessive. As you will see below, I got the power station to deal with a problem charging my car battery, but it will also be useful for charging various appliances like phones, laptops and tablets. It will also help in the event of power outages. The main reason I got this power station is because I have a hybrid vehicle and because I do not do much mileage, the 12V battery discharges over time with the result that I have had to jump start my vehicle at least 15 times over the last few months. I tried a solar panel trickle charger and while this will probably do the job of keeping the battery charged, solar panels will not charge a flat battery plus low light levels in winter do not help. I park my car in the street so I can not run a power line to my car to use a mains powered battery charger. I was therefore pleased to find this power station which allows me to run a battery charger from the power station. I can recommend this power station to anyone who is in a similar position, so to assist anyone who is having similar problems, I will provide details of the set up I use for my Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid car. As I stated earlier I have a solar panel trickle charger and I have a lead connected to the 12V battery situated under the rear seat. That lead has a SAE connector and I attach another lead with a SAE connector which has insulated crocodile clamps. This allows the battery charger to be connected to the battery. It is important that the positive (red) and negative (black) leads from the battery are connected to the crocodile clamps correctly i.e. red to red, black to black. Some SAE leads are reverse polarity which swaps this connection, but this can be corrected using a SAE reverse polarity connector. Insulated crocodile clamps are a must because you do not want the positive and negative leads to touch by accident. It is then just a question of plugging the battery charger into the power station using a standard mains plug, switching on the power station and selecting the AC button. The fans in the power station will dispel any heat produced but take care not to do this in hot weather just to be on the safe side. Always follow the instructions for the battery charger correctly as some chargers can suffer damage if used in hot conditions. The battery charger instructions should provide this information.

Mashine Portable Power Station Used this in our motorhome – brilliant bit of kit. It kept a heater running while we were in Scotland with no hookup. Very easy to use, charged our phones and powered the TV without any issues. It’s also simple to charge while travelling. I may buy the solar charging lead (not included) as it would be handy during the summer months. Got a solar panel to help along with charging

This is a great bit of kit, purchased to provide outdoor power for garden lighting and water feature so bringing much needed versatility that I’d otherwise had to rely on solar for which in the uk is not ideal. It’s quite a weighty unit but the carry handle makes it easy to move about. The digital readout is useful and clear, the fans do make a noise as any fan does, but mine is situated in the shed so had no impact on my life. From dead to full the charge time is quite lengthy no more so then any other power system of this capacity. It’s small enough that you can move about easily and store where necessary. My only criticism is how close the dc outlets are, granted the plugs I was trying to insert were larger than your standard but I couldn’t fit both in any configuration so have had to find a work around for that
