So much better than expected!
I bought this very affordable solar battery bank and panel combo on sale for a very good price. It replaced a bluetti unit I've had for a couple of years and honestly I'm happier with this one. Much happier in fact. There's a few reasons for this. But let me start with my testing and first outing with it.I took this camping just this past weekend for the first time. I use a CPAP and also obviously have phones and other electronics I like to keep charged. I also have an air mattress with built in inflator that uses AC power.Carrying this thing was a lot easier than my Bluetti was. Despite not having a swing-out handle like the Bluetti, the Anker unit was lighter in weight even though it is roughly the same power capacity and the molded in grip was perfect to carry this unit. It has also mounting points for a strap (not included) but I did not find the strap necessary in my case.Controlling the unit I found to be much easier that any power bank I've used so far. And this is where Anker shines. The polished esthetic they adhere to also carry over to their app, which is just so much better that any of the other apps I've used for other power banks. It connects either via wifi or Bluetooth. It might be controllable over the internet from a remote location but I did not test this. It's just inferred because the same app can do that for Anker's home battery banks. I did use Bluetooth though, and it worked very well. The neat thing is the unit wakes on bluetooth connection from the app and it happens quickly. No long delay to connect or having to wake up the unit manually first. I literally was able to check the status of the bank and the solar charging while passing by the campsite roughly 100 feet away from it and I was surprised when it actually connected! I didn't expect it to work that far away but I just tried on a whim and was able to see that in full sun around 11:30 the unit was charging at 40 watts from the included 60 watt panel and this is another thing that really shines about this combo. I did not expect the panel to be great, but it was fantastic. It is so much lighter and actually easily portable compared to the very large and heavy 100 watt panel I had with my Bluetti. It also starts picking up a measurable charge even before the sun rises completely. I haven't tested it on a cloudy day but I expect it to perform well since it did so well in the early morning hours. Sure, it has less wattage but it performed just as well as I needed it to. I had drained the battery to 63% overnight and by noon it was fully charged already. I know I could have gotten even faster charging if I had pointed the panel toward the sun but I just kind of flatly laid it across a mobile cart hoping for the best. But again, it is so light and folds compact enough to fit in a backpack while still performing at this level and this is just awesome. I am very happy with it.Back to the app and functionality of the unit, it has a very useful and easy to use light bar on the front and that can be controlled via the app, as well as a button press on the front. What I liked about this light is it was a bright but softly diffused light, making it great to light the inside of a tent without glaring into my eyes. Also being able to be turned on and off with the app made it so I didn't even have to get up to control it. The app also shows you the temperature of the battery at all times which is constantly monitored to keep from overheating. You have to love the thought that Anker puts into their products and all the safety features. They are one of the top battery and charging brands for a good reason.Anyway, now that I've tried this tiny unit, I am very likely to next buy the large unit on wheels for use as home backup and longer campout with higher power requirements. I was that satisfied with it that I've decided I'm going to stay with this brand for the time being anyway.Anyway, I could write a lot more but I think this should give most people what they need to know. I was overall very satisfied and would buy again! Highly recommended!

Perfect for our camping needs!
Worked great for a camping trip. We used this to blow up a queen sized air mattress. We mostly tent camp in primitive locations with no electric hook up and after messing around with car inverters, extension cords, and universal pumps I decided to buy this. I thought about getting a larger wattage unit but finally decided I didn't need all that extra power and expense and would instead get a smaller unit with an included solar panel to recharge it.It ran the AC motor on the pump for about 10 to 12 mins to blow up the mattress and it went down to about 95% battery left. And after charging all our devices that first night it had gotten down to 78% battery. I tried using the solar panel the next day and in less than an hour and a half it was recharged fully. I was able to achieve 52 watts with the advertised 60 watt panel in full sun just eye balling the aim of the panel.The panel seems very well made and durable and I like that it folds up nicely and was really easy to set up and plug into the device.All in all I'm very pleased with this unit and our first outting with it. Even with out the solar panel I'm sure it would've lasted us the entire weekend trip.No more fiddling with extension cords or having to move our vehicle close enough to plug our mattress in!! I just kept it right in our tent plugged in and the convenience of it really shined when we had to "top off" the mattress before bedThe only thing I would change is it could stand to have one or two more USB ports on it. I'm not sure if you can plug a lower wattage device into the high wattage usb-c plugs or not but I didn't want to find out, with that said having 3 AC outlets makes up for that because I can just use wall adapters... I looked at several competing units and they only have 1 AC outlet but more usbs. I should've considered that I really only needed the 1 AC outlet but it might be good to have them because you never know
