I like that this charges on solar power in case we have a black out, but it does take quite a long time for it to charge up that way, and it takes even longer for my iPhone 14 Pro Max to charge from the power bank to the phone because it's only a 5V charger (like the original little square bricks the old iPhones came with). Still better than nothing. It's awesome that the cables to plug in your phone or other devices are onboard. I was impressed it caught several radio stations even out where I live (my car can barely keep a station on!), but only after I raised the antenna fully. I like that the volume button on the radio is manual, but you can only search with the plus or minus button under the power button for stations – there is no way to dial into a specific station. I like that it has a kickstand so it will stand up, but I don't like that there's no LCD display to tell you much about what it's doing. There are some blue lights that will tell you when the bank is charged or that it's getting low and a light to indicate it's connected if you're using wireless charging (which is as slow as the cable), but that's about it. I guess that's to save power, so maybe that's better, but it would be nice to have a little bit more info. It's built very ruggedly so I if I took this camping, I would have no worries about it getting damaged. It comes with the standard USB A to C charge cable, a lanyard wrist strap, a velvet bag to hold everything, and instructions that don't tell you very much. I'm glad to have it, but I hope I never have to use it.
