I always take it with me on road trips, and a few times while camping. It might be overkill (overweight) for just a phone and tablet (especially if you need a capacity that is airplane legal), but I used mine to recharge my tablet, phone, watch, run a USB fan, charge my camera batteries, run an air bed pump, and even run a low wattage induction cook surface. When I'm at home, I use it in my home office where I don't have enough wall outlets to run my vinyl record player… hey, it's clean power right?
Cons: it's heavy, you won't really want to hike with it, probably just car camping situations. Running high W appliances might be out of reach, like an 800W microwave. You may have a hard time recharging the battery from solar while keeping a fridge running, it's probably not enough for indefinite refrigeration. When you're not camping, it'll probably spend most of its time gathering dust (store at 50% power to prevent degradation!!!), unless there's a power outage (and most power outages don't last long).
So, if you can find enough uses for it like me, and you go on road trips a few times a year where you NEED power like me (photos for sale), then sure its worth it. But… if you just like the IDEA of it, maybe it's not worth it. Always other things to spend money on.
got us through the recent Houston storm power outage near Cypress
yes, it will be collecting dust most of the time, until I can afford a generac, this will be a huge lifesaver

Slickdeals 220-240v is likely incorrect. Not sure if Slickdeals can modify this ..If I am correct.

Item looked brand new. The only negative thing I can say about the Rivers is that they're missing an LED light, which is standard on most power supplies. That means I'll have to use one of the ports or outlets if I need emergency light. Other than that, I love the unit. I was VERY skeptical about the fast charging but sure enough, the thing miraculously charged in an hour. And I love the flat top, allowing me to put things on the unit. Other models have a handle on top.
I should point out that as a Manhattanite, we don't really get power outages. Nor do I go camping or tailgating. I bought it as a UPS for my computer. I used to have a lead acid UPS that was heavy, bulky and required too much maintenance. People seemed mix on using this, and power stations in general, as a UPS. Many claim that the switchover from AC to the battery isn't fast enough. Well, they're wrong. I've tested this several times by physically unplugging it from the wall and my desktop PC and 8 external drives suffered no interruption. In fact, it saved my butt last week. I was in the middle of rendering a video which normally takes 6-10 hours. Any interruption means starting over again. While unplugging something, I accidentally tripped the power switch on the surge protector, in which this was plugged. My PC continued running as if nothing happened.
A big headache with power stations is the discharge-recharge maintenance required every few months. For someone who doesn't go camping, that means easily forgetting to cycle the unit. And that is in fact what happened to another model we bought years ago. After using it just once, it sat in the closet untouched for years. When we took it out for a picnic, the battery had degraded so much, it no longer held a charge. Maintenance seems easier with these LiFePo models. And using it as a UPS makes maintenance much easier. I just let it power my computer for a few hours every few months (or a 500 watt coffee maker for faster discharge).
If you take the W/H of any AIO solar battery and multiply by roughly .8 you get the usable w/h. So in this case, you could expect around 615 usable w/h. This will vary up/down given the load, but a good reference.
If your fridge uses 100 w/h, then it would run for about 6 hours. This again will vary with the power the fridge requires. So if you are without power for a couple of days, you would want a larger battery. But while in my area, Ameren is about as reliable as the Iraqi power grid, they usually have power back in that 6 hour window.
