I was considering this, but bought 2 of 300W GoLabs R300, $199 each (which has LiFePO4 battery: 4 times more cycles) also from Amazon. So far a happy camper : )

I paid a hell of a lot more back in September. This originally shipped with a non-functioning car charger. I've been waiting for them to send me a replacement since September but all I get are excuses. I bought this for use in my car and the charger is crucial to that purpose. I see that they have now removed the car charger entirely from the package.

For context, this will power a 100W light bulb for 3 hours.
That's at least 3 cupcakes in my easy bake oven. But seriously, who is hooking up a 100w (incandescent) bulb into this??? A 100w comparable LED bulb will last 30 hours...
other brands with 500watt is under $300. How is this a deal? I got one of those 2yrs ago and it's still working fine for $270. Pure sine and also has a jumper port.
While I like the idea of this for camping or on the go power while in car, I can't find a good use around house. For me, I'd want to plug in at least the fridge, which starts with 300W, then uses 150W. That will barely last 1-2 hours max. And our last power outage lasted ~30 hours. You can try using solar to charge this, but again at night, you're out of luck

DC input is still there, just covered up with new rubber covering.

A few big draws for this one (cant really compare since you didnt list an exact model):
PD port is a plus, integrated solar charge controller is nice, passthrough charging capabilities.
Cant really justify your question without a model.

Input is there but the adapter is not included in the box. You will need to source your own 60W adapter. My version came with a non-functioning car cigarette lighter adapter. They promised to send me a replacement adapter once they are available in stock. It has been almost 4 months and I have not received it yet.

Because is a sponsored sale listing by the company Anker. Is not necessarily a deal. Don't be fooled.
