Revainrating 1 out of 5

44W average output - Buyers beware

[update] This company tried to get me to change my rating by offering me $45 - so I checked the product again and really given the "benefit of the doubt". . " and I've tried harder to point out that I may have underestimated their product. The bottom line is that it rarely puts out more than 45W. I have a 50W 12V HQST monocrystalline solar panel for 70 Bought dollars to replace A 120 watt COOCHEER panel and the HQST outperforms the COOCHEER and is almost as portable, takes up much less space, is much more durable and comes with Anderson's COOCHEER wanted me to delete my review and I believe this is unethical and will issue a "refund" and continue to post my final overall rating based on the behavior of this unprofessional company.[Update] I've had time to interact with this product experimenting and i need to update my review.First you can only connect one device at a time.So actually it works fine.Second.The output power is about 44W on average, but it outputs more under certain conditions. Compared to a 50w panel I found the 50w panel worked well in low light but otherwise was no better than the 120w COOCHEER panel. So I'm happy with my purchase and will keep my COOCHEER. (Disclosure: This company asked me to revise my review and to be honest I have done so.) This is not a very good solar panel and it is too late for me to return the item. I use this with blueetti Mac Oak ac50s and on a clear day I redirected it to over 44 watts. On a super clear, sunny day with snow on the ground, I got about 72 watts. The fast charge port has stopped working. In comparison when I connect my Bluetti to my 100w Renology hard panel (same price) I get over 100w of power. Getting less than half the performance doesn't offset the portability benefits. Also, the device uses an adapter plug, which is inconvenient for my loved ones. For the money I would settle for a hard bar or look for a brand that delivers the performance it promises.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • old
