Rated 5 out of 5 by shogun from Great product! Power went out. Used it to cook and then used it for the sump pump. It went all night and I then used it to make coffee. Very versatile and light. I really like this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MikeW from Perfect for the outdoorsman. As a Generac employee, I was invited to test the product in exchange for my honest feedback. I have used the gb1000 on two occasions. Took it for Deer gun season as a backup in case of generator issues. Thie second for ice fishing trip where we powered our fish finder and underwater camera. Came in handy as well for charging our cell phones. So much nicer than listening to a generator.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JS09 from Great for the outdoors! I was able to use my GB1000 in a few applications. I first used it to power our parade float in our city's holiday parade, and the unit outperformed my expectations! We had to wait longer than expected, but we still ended with plenty of battery to do it again! Second, I took it to the woods for hunting season, and again, it outperformed. I was very impressed with its battery capacity, almost silent operation, and functionality! As a bonus, it has a wireless phone charger on the top that protects your phone with the carrying handle! *Note- As a Generac employee, I was invited to test the product in exchange for my honest feedback

Rated 4 out of 5 by JoesBatt from Pretty Good for 1st Generation Product As a Generac employee, I was invited to test the GB1000 product in exchange for my honest feedback. ** PROS ** • Good layout of ports • Buttons worked well, and were “tactical” • Not to heavy, can carry around • Back pocket helpful • Display visually good • All cords included • Wireless cell phone charger good idea • Power Station can be disposed of by calling IASD • Packaging was well designed, very easy to unpack • Long Three-Year warranty • Weight of unit is reasonable for carrying with one hand • Internal fan has a nice hum to it, like white noise, could help put the kids to sleep while camping. :) ** CONS ** • USB Type A sockets are mounted upside-down • Internal AC power charging supply stopped working after 6 days of use. • Visual indicator that it is charging after it goes to sleep only works in the dark, (not visible in daylight) (maybe add an Orange LED to indicate charging) • Unit does not stay on at very low wattage levels, due to sleep mode. • AC power cord fit is very tight, feels like its ½ way in, and requires Herculean effort to push in/remove it. • Needs a separate “Quick-Start” Guide • Battery symbol info on Display seemed “un-reliable”, discharge times on display are about 14% higher than actual. • Actual weight is 6 % more (1.7 Lbs) than specified weight in Manual. • AC sockets are polarized, which is confusing because doesn’t make sense with no ground on Portable Power Station. • Ports, DC or AC, are not Delineated clearly, (maybe add some color). • AC and DC charging cords can be plugged into the unit outlet and inlet at the same time, nowhere in manual does it say not to do this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Taylor26 from Exceptional Product I had the privilege to be able to test out this product at home as a Generac employee. I was very impressed with what I observed. The ease of use, portability, capability, and appearance were all high quality. I am pleased that Generac is offering a home product like this suitable for numerous situations and uses. Can carry/move at will, not be reliant on gas or propane (electric), and power anything from your phone to a refrigerator as needed. Thumbs up!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bob5778 from Plenty of good features, efficient As a Generac employee, I was invited to test the product in exchange for my honest feedback. I took it up to northern Wisconsin this winter with some friends to stay at a cabin without electricity. The GB1000 worked like a charm! We even used it to keep a phone charged so we could watch the world cup. It delivered constant power to all small electronics we plugged into it and by the end of the weekend it was still at 98% battery capacity. Charging was incredibly easy with its ability to charge via AC plug power, car charger power, and solar power. The only negative things I have to say about it was that it would occasionally emit a little noise from its fan while charging or in use, and it was a little heavy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lori206 from Best Present Ever! Picked up the new GB1000 and the box seemed super heavy. Once I pulled the unit from the packaging it was still a bit heavy but so small and easy to carry, even for an older gal like me! Plugged it in to charge up and it only took a couple of hours to fully charge. Then we used it to power our Christmas Tree and holiday music for the day! The best things about this power source are that it is totally silent, safe to use indoors, and it is safe to have around pets! My husband says, "best present ever!" Note: As a Generac employee, I was invited to test the product in exchange for my honest feedback.

It was also used to charge my cell phone at the same time! This portable battery is an amazing option when you need power at your fingertips. Highly recommend!
