150W Portable Power Station, 42000mAh/155Wh Power Bank with AC Outlet, Dual Way 65W PD/USB-C Port, Laptop Charger Battery Backup for Outdoor Camping Home Emergency Outage

Full disclosure: I bought this with my own money. Without honest, unpaid-for reviews from the Amazon community, I'd never know what's decent and what's junk. I want to contribute to that community, so I would never write a review on anything I didn't pay for myself. One other thing to note here is that the version I received does not have the "universal" outlet shown in the pictures. I included a photo of mine, which has a U.S.-style outlet. That's not a problem for me, since I live in the U.S. and this has too many watt-hours to go in carry-on luggage.This is my second battery-powered portable power station. Amazon is lousy with these things, all with UFO branding, so it's hard to make a decision about which one to buy. (I had never heard of "Powdeom," and I'll bet you haven't either.) The truth is that all of these things are probably all made in the same giant factory town in China--this is neither good nor bad, it's just a reflection of the supply chain and a case study in comparative advantage. Still, if you want to know about a particular model, YouTube is your friend, as there are lots of people whose channels basically just review these things. It can be hard to tell if their reviews are incentivized by the manufacturer or some other entity, so eventually you just have to bite the bullet and pick one. This one looked like it would fit my needs well as a supplement to my original larger power station. In a pinch, it is ideal for charging mobile devices (various types of USB ports), powering a modem and/or router (150W AC outlet is more than ample for this), or providing a modest amount of light for a long time (the small on-board flashlight only draws a few watts, and at 155.4 watt-hours capacity, should power it for over 24 hours straight). Perhaps best of all, it's dirt cheap for what it is.So why get a second power station, you might ask? Well, we recently had a freak wind event here in Kentucky. The gusts took down power lines all over the state and, more importantly, left me without electricity for 41 hours. The power station I already had--a Yaber 300W, 266Wh model that is no longer available on Amazon--worked well to power my 7W modem for a lot of that time. But since I had to use it for the rest of my power needs, it ran out of juice and I had to run up to my work, where there was electricity, to charge it. This left my house without Internet, which sucked, and I wished I had another smaller power station to keep the modem running while I recharged the bigger one. When I had my power back, I scoured Amazon's inventory and found this one on sale with a clippable coupon for about $70 plus tax, making it far and away the best deal on Amazon.For the price, it's got some killer features usually reserved for more expensive power stations: a 65W USB-c PD port, which charges all my household's phones, my Fire tablet, and my Dell XPS laptop at full speed. Even better, this is an in/out port that also charges the power station itself at a good clip (65W, which I confirmed with a USB power meter). Not only that, but you can combine a 65W USB-c charger with the included AC charger and charge this baby from 0 to 80% in only an hour. I couldn't find any other power stations on Amazon that would do that. (Of course, it's a smaller battery than most.) I haven't tested this yet, because I'm happy so far with the rate of charge just using the USB-c. It's so convenient, because I already have tons of those cables and quite a few USB-c wall chargers. The Powdeom also includes 3 USB-A ports (standard rectangular), a QC 3.0 USB port (for quick-charging Qualcomm chip devices), a DC 12V out, and a DC 15V in port (for use with cylindrical barrel connectors). That's an impressive selection of ports for such a cheap device. It would be great if it had two AC outlets, but you can always use a small cube-style power tap to split it into multiple outlets. I would not recommend plugging a surge protector into this thing, because that could interfere with the flow of the power from what is surely a very basic inverter to the device you're trying to power. You're unlikely to damage anything, but it might not work very well. But there shouldn't be anything wrong with using a simple power tap that simply splits one outlet into multiple outlets without adding surge protection. If what you plug into this power station exceeds the 150 watts is capable of, it will simply shut itself off and not power your device.So far, I am really liking the form factor--it is a compact tube shape with rounded edges, and the build quality is suprisingly good. As you can see in my photo, it's not much larger than a 16.9 oz water bottle. The body is metal, probably aluminum, and the front and back seem to be ABS plastic (see photo). There was a little bit of white adhesive sticking out of the faceplate where it joins the body, which I easily scraped away with a toothpick. It probably weighs between 3 and 4 pounds, so just about anyone could carry it, and the leather strap (or leatherette, I'm not sure) is adequate and ergonomic. It has a nice but not overpowering heft. You could easily fit this in a decent-sized backpack or duffel bag. This can't go with you in your carry-on luggage, because TSA limits such devices to 100Wh (which, at 155Wh, this far exceeds).I immediately charged this up to 100%, as recommended by the manual (and long a best practice for lithium ion batteries) and started putting it through its paces. I plan to deplete this to zero and recharge it a few more times to get the battery and capacity meter calibrated. After that, I plan to repeat a full discharge and charge cycle every 3 months or so. This could easily be done by simply turning on the small flashlight and waiting for it to go out, which should take between one and two days.The instruction manual is pretty short, but the power station is intuitive enough to operate that you probably don't need it. There's a power button at the top left which turns on all the ports except for the AC outlet with a single short press. There's another power button on the top right for the light, which turns it on with a single short press. (You must press the main power button first.) Subsequent short presses cycle it through a strobe mode, then an SOS mode, then turns it off. Finally, there's a button on the center left that turns on the AC outlet. When you short-press it, a small light above the button turns green, which means the AC outlet is functioning. Short-press it again to turn it off. If you plug in and turn on a device that exceeds the power station's wattage capacity, the light turns red to let you know. Your device simply won't function at that point, so there shouldn't be any risk of damage to the power station.So far I've charged up my Pixel 7 phone a couple of times, my Fire tablet, my Dell XPS laptop, and had the flashlight on for probably an hour total. It charges all of these devices at full speed. I even plugged my desktop and monitor into the AC outlet with a surge protector (again, not recommended; I was just testing) and ran it for about 5 minutes. The desktop made a buzzing sound, but it otherwise worked fine. This is probably because the AC outlet produces a "stepped" or "squared" sine wave, not a "true" sine wave like a more expensive power station would. This can be a problem for sensitive devices, such as those with motors. (Just make sure you test out the device you want to power before you have an emergency.) Most other devices should work fine. After all of that use, the power station is still at 59%. Consider my expectations exceeded. I hope I don't need this anytime soon, but even if I don't, I'll find plenty of uses for it around the house and on the road. It would even be a great charging station for the house where there's not a convenient outlet.TLDR: This power station is a great value for the money. At 155Wh and with a variety of USB and DC ports in addition to its AC outlet, it has adequate capacity to charge up just about any mobile device or laptop with power to spare, and its variety of ports mean you can probably plug your device into it. It seems well built and it is easy to carry around and store. Since the AC outlet is limited to 150 watts and doesn't produce a true sine wave output, make sure it will meet your needs before purchasing.

I recently purchased a portable battery power station and have been really impressed with its performance. One of the best things about it is that it doesn’t overheat, even after hours of use, which gives me peace of mind. It also runs very quietly—even with multiple devices plugged in, there’s barely any noise at all. Charging it is super easy, and I love that it also supports solar charging, which is a great option when I’m outdoors or on the go. The variety of ports, including USB, USB-C, and DC, make it very versatile for all kinds of devices. I’ve used it to power my Wi-Fi router during an outage, and it kept everything running smoothly for hours. The design is sleek, and the color looks great too. It feels solid and well-built without being too bulky. This isn’t meant for powering big appliances, but for small electronics and a few hours of backup, it works perfectly. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who needs a dependable and quiet power source.

I purchased this portable power station specifically for use at a community outreach event where consistent electricity wasn’t guaranteed—and I’m so glad I did. It performed flawlessly! Its the perfect size to pack for these events!We used it to power a laptop, monitor, and a small printer for several hours without a hitch. The power station was quiet, easy to transport, and incredibly user-friendly. The digital display made it simple to monitor usage and battery life, which gave us peace of mind throughout the day.What impressed me most was how professional and smooth everything ran thanks to having dependable power. It allowed us to register attendees, access resources online, and print materials right on-site—something we couldn't have done without it.For anyone organizing events in locations without reliable outlets, this is an absolute must-have. Durable, efficient, and worth every cent. Highly recommended!

This item exceeded my expectations. I use it when I plug in my colored led lights. It lets me lay in bed and watch tv while I relax and let the colored led lights work. I have benefited from this colored led therapy for many years. I don't need an electrical outlet to activate the lights; I just plug them into the portable unit and time it with my cellphone. It also functions as a bright flashlight with a very long shelflife. If you are a camper or a fisherman on a boat you can take this unit with you and plug in a radio or recharge your cellphone in the field.
