Do not buy one of the ones i list here or one that looks like it they are all in fact from the same plant in china and mine failed on day 1 at 69% the inverter stopped i then recharged and again it stoipped i then used the usb socket they work and show drain butthe inverter does not and the labels on the machine says 500w so i asked the seller they said wrong label on it so i told them the other issues they offer 50% i said no either a new one or money back they have stalled and tried to scam me on the return address as it leads to a health care provider so i refused to post to that address i rang the office they said no one of the name works there , their comapny registered office is again a health care place that is closed down and a dental practise and to top it it is also the dhs office in the area lol like the chinese sellers have got some cheek at best .
I can not get the money back amazon are trying to get it now but i hold out little hope of that even after the seller said they would refund

Power station not to buy
Re: Power station not to buy
Thats a lot of money to shell out for it to be faulty
Are you covered by a warranty if money back ?. If you've only just received it the returns policy may be valid?
Amazon generally do sort it for the customer however I also had a issue years ago that was a pain sorting with them
I went for the jackery which suited my needs more expensive but I'm pretty wary of names I don't know ..also basically as I dont really know what I'm doing most of the time so I went for tried and tested

Re: Power station not to buy
Big OUCH. I read your amazon review.
Give em hell.
Amazon customer service can be good. Or Credit card chargeback or distance selling regs.
Or sue Yorkshire Andy for recommending it.

Re: Power station not to buy
Don't go blaming me
I'm still on the fence re the power stations give them a few more years to sort the tech out and iron out the problems then I'll be interested
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong

Re: Power station not to buy
LOL andy i wish i had in a way but i keep thinking anything to have a little back up , i am now trying to work more on power and batteries to get power i like the old war time program i watched the house was run on 12v light now back them they were crap compared to todays leds but they house was powered by baateries at night and genny in the day , i like hte idea of getting some sort of up yours to the power companies i know i will never be full off grid but as much as possible i want to use less , in my ideal world we would move to a remore cottage in the valleys and live off oil / wood / coal orwhatever we could cooking and heating wise and then power lights battery solar and wind if i could afford it but hey i done the lotto this week if i win i think i would start a huge commune lolYorkshire Andy wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 10:31 pmDon't go blaming me

Re: Power station not to buy
Well it goes to prove if you fight your corner with enough conviction you get there in the end , so far they have refunded but i refused to remove the review so we shall see if it goes through or gets cancelled
