Purchased alongside several Anker items from Amazon. Snowstorms have caused a couple of power outages here so I used this as a backup for a small 700 watt Vornado heater, which is WELL below the advertised capacity. 30 minutes or so goes by and the heater is off, which leads me outside to my patio to find that this powerstation is smoking. And then bursts into a FULL fledged fire that caused damage to my home. I email Anker and present them with the evidence, and they say its not their problem, Amazon gave me a discount, which apparently voided the warranty. On a 4 month old product. Insurance and lawyers are taking over at this point, but all that to say: DO NOT PURCHASE ANKER BATTERY PRODUCTS. THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEM.

The unit works and that a plus. With the expansion battery I do get a lot of runtime and I like that I can recharge it via the solar panels which seem to work rather well. I'm happy with that. I also like that everything can be controlled with the phone app. That makes it extremely handy to monitor what is happening in real time.

With low power devices the unit works rather well. This unit boasts that it can handle up to 2400w and that simply has not been the case for me. Every single time my load reaches 1700w the unit shuts down and goes into overload protection mode. 1700w is not even close to the supposed capabilities of this unit. For that reason I can't give it a rating higher than 3 stars.

I would have rated it five stars but out of the box my generator will not charge above 94% and my expansion battery will not charge above 88%.

It's a quiet and powerful power source, 2400w is an amazing power! I use the power station to work with my Travel trailer when we are at places like the beach for day or over night trips . It has been amazing for being able to have an access to our refrigerator and and use of the trailer where we can’t have shore power .

This Anker Powerhouse lives up to its name. I purchased to use as an UPS and be ready to run a fan on my stove, the internet, home alarm and television. It will power all three for about 6 hours. If I chose to conserve power and not use the television it will run the blower on my gas Lopi stove for about 28 hours. It quickly charges while running all of these things. One important thing to know is that you will need at least a 3000 watt generator if you want to charge while using whatever you have plugged in.
