I saw somekmr taje this apart- he was impressed with the build. He also pointed out that the folding handle is supported by a strong metal plate inside, so no worries about the handle breaking.
This is what I've noticed with mine is that the fan is constantly on when charging via solar but All Powers are such a great brand. So helpful and the design of this station is well thought out with so many extra features packed in compared with other smaller stations! x x
@@MikeTrachtenberg Good job I don't watch TV 😆 ha ha! I've only been charging mine via solar so far and the fan kicks in and out but I haven't found it as noisy as yours x x
sorry I'm late to this but I bought one about 2 months ago and have no problem with nose at all very quiet but everything else is true very good unit thank you.
Great review. Have you found your unit showing signs of excessive AC inverter loss with no load, light load or heavy load? During two run time tests of my R600 with only a 7W load (Netgear cable modem, Nest Wifi Pro and Trendnet 5 port unmanaged switch) I was seeing around a 10% battery loss per hour. During my first test the unit shut off after approximately 9.5 hours with 5% battery left.
@@MikeTrachtenberg that's ok i realized upon further research it would cost me nearly 1000 bucks to get a solar generator system to power it for a length of time, so i ordered a sportsman 1000i generator for 179 bucks... that'll take care of my little 60watt blower
Got mine on Amazon. Had shipped to family in Oregon. Then had shipped via barge to me in Alaska. Almost a year later I decided to try and use it for camping. I had too much faith in this product. It won’t hold a charge. Literally does during charging. No Bluetooth function as stated. App is useless. Does not function at all. No charging for anything. Followed instructions to a T which is honestly simple. It dies/completely loses its charge when unplugged after a few minutes. This was altogether a HORRIBLE buy. And I’m feeling some serious buyers remorse and feeling like an absolute idiot for not testing it right when I got it. I spent hundreds on this (purchased with the solar panel) plus shipping. All down the drain. And the support email is bogus. I hope this comment helps others in the future. If you buy this, try it immediately after receiving it.
Such a detailed and clear review! So very helpful!!!
That's great! Thank you so much!
Nice review MJT. Very informative. Thanks!
Thanks for the support and feedback!

Dang, that's pretty cool. Good to know. Definitely not taking mine apart lol
Wow looks so good 😊
Thank you 😋
Wow amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
I bought one about 6-months ago to power modem/router. It works great with it's under 10-ms transfer time. Under 20-ms is not good enough, IMO.
I'll be testing out a new one of their power stations shortly!

Yes, exactly! Just keep it in the other room if you're charging while watching TV lol

Appreciate the comment
Very informative. When I start camping again on a regular basis, I’d get one.
That's exciting news!!
could you test to fully drain the battery until it wont turn on. and try to plug again if it will turn on?
Great question! I tested this and yes it did turn back on!

Thank you! That is very interesting. I have not been using it a ton but I have not noticed this happening yet at least
Isn’t this normal loss for any DC to AC step converter?
That’s amazing
Thank you!
wonder how long it would run the blower on my woodstove in the event of a power outage🤔
Do you know how many amps the blower draws??
@@MikeTrachtenberg 1 amp on high
Dang I am just not technical enough to figure that out lol

Glad you figured something out!
does it have pass thru charging?
Yes it does.
You are so smart
Haha, thank you!
My R600 is extremely quiet even when charging. Strange that yours is not?
Not sure why
They shoulda paid you! Great review.
Haha maybe next time!!

Dang, I wonder if you received a defective unit. I'm sorry that happened to you. Allpowers customer service needs to do better.
What about the warranty?
