Charging Performance

Pros:

  • "Started fully charged and it charged my phone and watch to full charge every day."
  • "It fully charged after several hours in front of a sunny window and I was able to fully charge an old phone from it in a couple of hours."
  • "The battery is pretty reliable, no complaints there — it can hold a charge and in my experience I was able to give my devices 2-3 cycles of a full charge."
  • "I used the charger while camping and it worked great. I charged my iPhone three nights and there was still power left by the time we came home."
  • "This power bank will hold its charge enough to recharge my phone a few times when I am camping and without power."
  • "It charges fast when plug. I really like the fast magnet charge for the IPhone."
  • "The battery pack itself charges pretty quickly when plugged in."

Cons:

  • "So I've had this charger for about three months now and have never been able to fully charge it via solar."
  • "Listing has very discreet note that solar charging is slow but it is really non-functional."
  • "ALL SIX stopped solar charging after a day or so - every single one. 2 days in full sun didn't charge them one bit!"
  • "So after 6 days in daylight, this charger is not recharging as expected or needed."
  • "This only worked for about a month and a half. It just stopped charging."
  • "From fully charged, it was only able to get my LG G6 phone to 27% even though I left it plugged in all day."
  • "After a year of use it no longer charges from a cable or the sun."

Design and Build Quality

Pros:

  • "Doesn't feel cheap."
  • "This portable charger is so important to have. It's lightweight but durable."
  • "Flashlight also is super bright which is great when trying to find something in a dark tent."
  • "We’ve taken it on hikes, and it’s all around durable."
  • "This little charger is awesome. Great build quality. The outside is super grippy and rugged."
  • "Very clean and sturdy looking product."
  • "It’s is durable and sturdy enough that I don’t have to worry about breaking it when I drop it."

Cons:

  • "I didn't use the compass. I just tossed it as it looks pretty cheap and is more for show."
  • "The flashlight is what gives me trouble."
  • "The cord that comes with the unit could be sturdier."
  • "The only real down side to this battery pack is the connector for that compass and carabineer is something I won't use because it does not seem sturdy enough and am concerned it will break."
  • "The compass didn't really work, but it looks nice."
  • "In addition, the compass is useless and shouldn't be included."
  • "And the icing on the cake was the compass is defective."

Additional Features

Pros:

  • "Also has NFC wireless charging which worked great."
  • "I love that it can charge three different things at once."
  • "The flashlight is very bright and comes in handy, especially on nights when I’m outdoors."
  • "Holds a charge, strong flashlight, and always charges whatever I need."
  • "The wireless charging feature is an added bonus, allowing me to charge my devices without the hassle of cables when I have compatible devices."
  • "The wireless charger worked well for our iPhone 12 pros, and was a nice feature for quick charging at camp or in the car without pulling out our cables."
  • "The dual flashlight function has proven to be incredibly handy during camping trips."

Cons:

  • "The solar charging panel doesn’t work as well as I’d hoped."
  • "Additionally, the wireless charging option is not reliable."
  • "Works fine as a wireless charger for my phone, but I'm really disappointed in its ability to recharge using solar power."
  • "The wireless charger on back is useful when I don’t have a cable, but I wish it could charge faster."
  • "The only downsides are there is no fast charging and the solar functionality is non-existent."
  • "The solar panel is the part that I do believe is a gimmick."
  • "But the solar panel doesn’t add any charge."

Customer Service and Warranty

Pros:

  • "They will offer you a full refund plus a $15 Amazon gift card without returning the item in exchange for deleting your review."
  • "Customer Service is great..Had an issue with Not charging fully, I contacted Customer service they responded immediately and sent a replacement."
  • "The seller promptly reached out me apologizing for the issues and extended a generous solution."

Cons:

  • "I have sent three (3) email messages to BLAVOR (the manufacturer) and asked that they contact me and they NEVER got back to me."
  • "I want to just get ahold of the seller, but it’s impossible to find a link or anything to get ahold of them."
  • "I’ve bought 2 of these so far and both stopped working."
  • "Disappointed that I'm 3 days beyond the return window; took me that long to figure out it doesn't work."
