    • What buyers say about Portable Power Station Explorer 500


    The construction is solid and looks great, however I wish the handle folding down for storage was included. I can't wait for us to use it on our camping trips and have cold food without the hassle of Ice.


    After I had reviewed the unit, I was very happy with it and they asked if I would be willing to write a detailed review.


    When I tried to reset the product first, they sent me a new one, and I wanted to let everyone know how great the service was.


    The size is 11.84"W x 9.2"H x 7.59"D and weighs 13 lbs, with a built-in light which is nice when camping in my tent.


    I tested the SolarSaga 100w in the PWN and it produced around 50 watt in about an hour. This is 18v at 2.78 Amp and I tried another 200 watt panel at 12v.
