All of these devices are amazingly small and light. They incorporate all of the features you need to provide 12V, pure sine wave AC, and USB power in the field. They incorporate a charge controller to provide plug and play solar panel input.
This one stands out by providing several uncommon features. First, it provides regulated 12V power output. This is unusual in these devices. It means that the voltage does not drop as the battery discharges. Second, it has a work light that is bright and covers a large work area. Third, it supports cordless phone charging. fourth, it has a USB C output.
I bought it for powering a couple of lamps with led bulbs, cordless phone base unit, and cable modem to keep lights and communications going during a power outage. It's fine for that. I used it to power a 250 Watt soldering gun for an antenna project. It worked fine. It's basically an electrical outlet in the field. One can imagine a lot of uses for that.
The AC output measured 110V , which is a little lower than commercial power, but most devices work fine with that and it extends battery life a little. I was impressed with how little the battery drained each time I used it. The inverter appears to be very efficient.
I haven't tried solar charging yet, but for everything else, it just works. You plug things in and as long as you stay within the capacity limits, they run with no drama. If you are an amateur radio operator, you HAVE to get one of these.

Power station is still working great! I reached out to Progeny as my only complaint with it was the PWM solar charge controller. They have since updated to a MPPT and were nice enough to send me out the new version. (Again I have been really impressed with their customer service!)
The solar charging with the new MPPT is double the speed of the previous version! I will add pictures of the input wattage from my solar panel comparing the new vs. old. The input wattage is double while using the same 100 watt solar panel.
*Original Review:
This thing is fantastic! I use a Rockpals 60W solar panel to charge it and it works great.
First off, the ability for pass through charging at this price point is crazy. You normally have to pay double this cost. It is a great feature so you can use your solar charging panels to charge the power station, while charging any devices plugged in. An excellent option if you need to run something that is AC power. (Pass through works on all outputs! Most budget power stations are DC pass-through only. If at all)
Second, the Wh and mAh compared to others at this price point is way better. I tested the outputs with a multimeter and a USB tester and they are pretty much spot on.
Third, the 12V DC output is regulated! I haven't seen any other budget power station with this option. Great for CPAP users and people looking to use a 12V cooler.
The build quality is also great! The digital screen with input/output readings makes knowing the power draw and charging wattage very convenient. Especially when charging with solar.
PS. The customer service is excellent too. I broke the handle on mine (the "screws" that hold the handle on are not screws... they are pins with a snap ring on the end. I tried to tighten it and the snap ring fell off inside the unit.) They sent me out a replacement immediately!
Excellent product and a company that stands behind their products! Will buy from them again!
