VTOMAN Jump 600X Portable Power Station 600W - 299Wh Solar Generator LiFePO4 Battery Power Station with 600W Pure Sine Wave (Surge 1200W) AC Outlet, PD 60W USB-C, 3x Regulated 12V/10A DC for Camping

Bought this because I wanted to run a small Nespresso machine and milk frother without having an EHU, and without spending £500-£1,000.Surprise surprise, IT WORKS! Quietly and efficiently. It uses about 8% of charge to make a Cappuccino.To be able to charge phones/iPads/laptops etc and run a TV is a bonus. It charges quickly from the mains (checked), and should also charge from the cigar lighter or USB/leisure battery/solar panel in the Moho (not tried yet).The unit is slightly smaller than a car battery, and, I think, a bit lighter, and so easy to store in the van.It’s easy to set up and use, and will allow us to have many home comforts while parked in muddy fields.All in all, it seems ideal for us at a great price.

To begin, this was a life saver over the last week in particular and it surpassed what my intended use was. But having gained some knowledge over the week, I would buy something bigger. Of course that means more expensive.I bought the unit around Xmas 2024 and some ecoworthy solar panels. I had intended to use it to charge phones, tablets, batteries etc and maybe when having a day out in sunnier times.Then in blows the biggest storm we've seen in 60 odd years. The aftermath left destruction but worst of all, I had no power or broadband. Initially I didn't have broadband because the electric in the area was down but as I now have a fibre connection I only needed to power the ONT. The vtoman had no problem powering that and the Amazon eero router. It might seem trivial but it kept me sane as my laptop was fully charged and I could keep in touch with family and watch a bit of YouTube.The next day I used the vtoman to run my microwave to heat porridge. It worked but it is a little under powered. It was a sunny day and I was able to charge the unit with the solar panels for about 3 hours. That's when I realised the first potential issue under these conditions. The units max input is 90 watts. I actually ended up connecting it to the 12v cigarette socket in the car and went for a drive! That was giving me a charge rate of 88 watts fairly continuously. Even so, my days charge was now only at 81%. It was getting cold and with no power for the heating I wondered if it could power the oil burner and the water pump. Both items running required 203 watts and with ⁸¹% charge the unit indicated the run time would be just over an hour. I was so glad of that heat though. Now the battery is exhausted and it's going to take 4 or 5 hours to recharge.Great little unit, was easy to use and it surpassed my expectations but I wish I'd bought something bigger and the reality is, I'll probably need a small petrol generator to recharge it, especially in winter. Im glad I bought it, but know your use case and plan how you will recharge it.

Overall, I'm quite happy with my purchase. The build quality is excellent and it has a great range of features that make it a versatile and useful addition to any home or outdoor adventure.One of the standout features of this power station is its impressive battery capacity, which allows it to power a range of appliances and devices. I tested it on a 500W electric heater, and it lasted about 25 minutes (continuous use), which is impressive for a portable power station of this size. The unit can also be used with its optional battery for even better results. I have not bought the optinal battery yet but when I get one I will write a more detailed review here.However, there are a few downsides to this product. For one, it's a bit noisy when in use, which can be a nuisance in certain settings. Additionally, it doesn't have an on/off switch button, which can be a bit inconvenient when you need to turn it on or off quickly.Despite these drawbacks, I would still highly recommend the VTOMAN Jump 600X Portable Power Station 600W - 299Wh LiFePO4 Power Station to anyone looking for a reliable and versatile power source. It's well-built and packed with useful features that make it a great investment for anyone who needs portable power on the go.
