People are noting no boost button. In general boost buttons are not needed in roughly 90% of jump need cases. It's only when the battery's really fully dead ( most still have some charge even though not enough to start the car). I have a different model without a boost mode and I've jump started cars about 15 times with it and it has always worked. You'll have to make the call how important the boost mode is for you.
Did a scan of the reviews on Amazon which for the most part were positive.
Issues people did note were:
- A short time limit between connecting to the battery and starting the car before the unit shuts off. Could be a problem if you're by yourself and can't move quickly
- Very short cables.
- There were a couple mentions of cable issues. IIRC both were where the cable insulation peeled. One reviewer said to buy the replacement cables when they are offered as they are better than originals.
- Does not appear to come with a charger plug for the unit. As long as you have a usb charger plug it should charge. One reviewer noted he needed an 18W usb charger plug to get his to charge. Others noted a long charging time with chargers that have less watts.
Reviews showed when there were issues the manufacturer stood behind the item and made it right.

Technically Amazon says this is what I purchased:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BF94WPW3/
However, I can't tell what the difference is between the products at the different links (mine's red). It's a GT4000s. So currently I'd buy the one for $10 less. I paid $119 for mine in Sept. I just clicked on the PF link on their video to get there. Interestingly (to me at least) they released another video on the matter the month after I bought mine and tested a different Gooloo that sells for a bit less. (I haven't watched that video yet.) However, to me, I really like the screen on mine so if they were the same other than that, I'd probably fork out the additional money ($20?) for the screen.
The reviews I read where the company made it right were from Amazon.
Consumer Reports noted they ALL had trouble in the very cold ( and high heat). Batteries do tend to fail more in the very cold. That being said, out of the 15 times I used mine only about 2 were in the very cold. It worked on all occasions. Different batteries will fail at different times. For example, a size 27F is a battery that needs to be in a car that's driven regularly. Don't drive that vehicle for 10 days and it will likely need a jump where other vehicles with different size batteries would be fine.
I keep a pair or regular jumper cables in the vehicle as a backup in case the jump pack doesn't work. Fortunately, haven't had to use it.
I know there's always a new technology right around the corner, but I'd be curious as to what peoples opinions are regarding the likelihood of all these units switching over to that battery technology in the near future.
You're not gonna get LifePO4 on a jumper pack. Only the big batter banks

Oh mannn. That stinks. Sorry that happened.
I keep a set of regular jumper cables in the car in case the jumper pack won't do the job. Thankfully, haven't had to use them.
Jumper pack is so much easier and safer in that you don't have to wait for a free parking spot next to your vehicle to appear or risk blocking traffic with another car nosed in. Also, they have built in safety if someone should reverse the cables where regular jumper cables if reversed could cause a battery explosion. Still, they're not failproof.
But yeah, they actually do have LiFePo4 jumpers, but they are $100 and up:
