VTOMANJump 600X Portable Power Station 600W - 299Wh Solar Generator LiFePO4 Battery Power Station with 600W Pure Sine Wave (Surge 1200W) AC Outlet, PD 60W USB-C, 3x Regulated 12V/10A DC for Camping

Bought this a Jump 600x in January as a back-up for power-cuts. I have found that it is best suited for low power applications, such as decking LED string lighting or powering the laptop, phone and even a guitar Amp (handy info for buskers). If you want to power your kettle or run your refrigerator you would be better getting a more powerful unit but if you use it as intended, it makes a great domestic back-up. I bought a second 600x so that one can be charging while the other is in use. It will jump-start your car in winter (but you have to buy the jumper cable separately as it has a specific 'Jump' connector so get it from VToman, and it is a bit short). It powers my tyre pressure pump and is a lot les hassle than having to start the engine to use the cig lighter on each car every time. It weighs about the same as carrier bag full of shopping. It worked well to recharge my 12v power tool batteries when working away from mains access. Best bit, can be kept topped-up with the solar panel during use regardless of the state of the utility grid.Update - this little power station also powers my strimmer, my hedge trimmer, and my Bosh mower when working away from access to mains power and charges up the batteries for power tools while on projects. A GREAT BIT OF KIT.

To begin, this was a life saver over the last week in particular and it surpassed what my intended use was. But having gained some knowledge over the week, I would buy something bigger. Of course that means more expensive.I bought the unit around Xmas 2024 and some ecoworthy solar panels. I had intended to use it to charge phones, tablets, batteries etc and maybe when having a day out in sunnier times.Then in blows the biggest storm we've seen in 60 odd years. The aftermath left destruction but worst of all, I had no power or broadband. Initially I didn't have broadband because the electric in the area was down but as I now have a fibre connection I only needed to power the ONT. The vtoman had no problem powering that and the Amazon eero router. It might seem trivial but it kept me sane as my laptop was fully charged and I could keep in touch with family and watch a bit of YouTube.The next day I used the vtoman to run my microwave to heat porridge. It worked but it is a little under powered. It was a sunny day and I was able to charge the unit with the solar panels for about 3 hours. That's when I realised the first potential issue under these conditions. The units max input is 90 watts. I actually ended up connecting it to the 12v cigarette socket in the car and went for a drive! That was giving me a charge rate of 88 watts fairly continuously. Even so, my days charge was now only at 81%. It was getting cold and with no power for the heating I wondered if it could power the oil burner and the water pump. Both items running required 203 watts and with ⁸¹% charge the unit indicated the run time would be just over an hour. I was so glad of that heat though. Now the battery is exhausted and it's going to take 4 or 5 hours to recharge.Great little unit, was easy to use and it surpassed my expectations but I wish I'd bought something bigger and the reality is, I'll probably need a small petrol generator to recharge it, especially in winter. Im glad I bought it, but know your use case and plan how you will recharge it.

Absolutely brilliant product 💜 I'm off grid in a camper & this panel charges the unit to full within 2 to 5 hrs I then use it for numerous appliances throughout the day & am yet to use full battery within 48hrs so I feel its efficient but I may at some point get a higher capacity solar panel, when first turned on there's a slight hum initiating use but only for 2 to 3 seconds then the unit is silent, nice & compact & easy to connect, not too heavy, im very slight build & can move around easily.

Useful and practical for all needs at a fraction of a price compared to other power stations that are costly. Purchased solely for camping but has become useful at home too.07.06.23Some issues with charging unit. Plug not detected in unit. Problems only occurred recently end of May 2023. If I plug in cable that came with it, it shuts the unit off, nothing works. I have to take the cable out of it's unit socket, put in and out until it detects it. Confused as to why issues. Taken care of unit.Goes without saying, you get what you pay for. Would not go cheap again.It performed well previsouly but appears to be a internal short. Cable replacement was sent, this did not resolve issue. Have been in touch with customer service but not helpful with questions, they offered refund.Under customer reviews. I advise you filter and go to most critical. To see additional genuine issues.Update: End of June 2023So issues were resolved. I did a complete battery decompletion, to zero %. I pressed all 3 buttons on unit in yellow to reset, just tried it as you would your mobile for a hard reset. It worked. Plugged in cable and it now charges. If this fails, repeatedly put the power cable in and out of the machine quickly and repeat repetitively until it comes on, this also works, discovered this in a panic. It took a while to figure this out as customer service had no solutions other than refund and new cable.I was given a good partial refund that basically made unit worthwhile for me, once I got it fully working. Remember to hard reset 3 yellow buttons pressed all together. Use both hands to get it done. I have used this for long extensive camping trips and at home since June. Now I solved issues and it works properly it is worth it on a tight budget, but I will say, as before you get what you pay for.I do have a small 240 Jackery but the vtoman fast charges and is a better investment for gadgets.I think if I were to replace any of my power stations I would go small and compact with a punch. However the Vtoman has served me well on a budget.
