Definitely a solid product. The jump start function has never failed to jump a car so far. The inflator function is very loud, but gets the job done. I'd recommend buying an adapter that clips on as I don't really like the screw on style it uses. I've never used the light function.Biggest tip I can give is to follow the charging instructions and charge it once a month or any time you use it. You will need an extension cord to charge it as the charging function is just two prongs on the back that fold down.

Bought this because it works to jump start a Prius when the lead-acid/engine/12V battery dies. Tried multiple lithium battery based jump starters and all failed. Was told by a Prius/hybrid mechanic that many jump starters don't work with Priuses. A neighbor had an almost identical Schumacher unit that worked fine on the Prius. Not finding a local shop that carried Schumacher units I ordered this somewhat heavy unit. The weight is from the lead-acid battery in the unit. But don't worry about it leaking. It's a modern closed cell lead-acid battery. I suspect it tumble many times in shipping without issue -as designed.Yes, it's bigger and heavier than one of the pocket sized jump starters, but it will do everything one of those will do AND jump start a Prius. (Tested on second and third generation Priuses. But it should work on first and fourth gen. as well.)

I waited until I used every feature to write this review. Thanks to owning a Dodge Product with a 392, I was able to use the jump start function today. Here we go...Of course the first thing I did was charge the unit as directed for 36 hours. No big deal.Next, I used all the charging ports. USB is typically slow, but so were the 110 outlets. But they worked, and they charged my tablet and they all worked.After that, I went out to air up tires on 4 vehicles. It's winter so all 12 were low 3 to 8 pounds. The compressor is slow and takes a while, even for only 5 pounds. But, it worked in "set it & forget it mode" which I stumbled across never having read the directions. Set the compressor for 40psi, hook up the hose, hit the button and it charges to 40psi and turns off. Very nice!!Finally, that Dodge product didn't let me down and the battery died from sitting in the cold as expected. I read the rear directions this time that are stamped on the back of the unit. Easy and straightforward. The batter on a Charger 392 is in the trunk so I set the unit next to the battery, hooked it up, turned the unit on, then crossed my fingers and jumped in the driver's seat. Va-ROOM! She started right up.For $100, you could da a LOT worse and I have. The compressor is the weak part of this unit. It's slow, and when it gets warm, turns off to cool before using again. I'm not sure it could actually air a truck tire up from zero to 40psi. But for topping off, it's perfect and saves you a trip somewhere to do it.

We have two, my mom has three and mother in law has two.Orginal one was purchased to power my dads hospital bed during power outages. Then we bought one as a backup for our delay adjustable bed. Then MIL bought one for her power lift chair. Everyone bought back ups so they could be rotated and recharged as needed during outages. And they’ve been used a few times as intended by jump starting a few cars.Great product and would purchase again….and again….
