This is by far the best and easiest to use solar chargers I have come across. its built well and looks like it will last a good few years the ports are fastened solid and it charges my samsung galaxy s4 easily even when not in direct sunlight. for the price it is a unbeatable value. I have a Goal zero solar panel pack as well and it was double the price and not even half the power output.Very impressed with this solar charger so far

Wasn't sure how well this would work, but I was impressed how well it charges my phone and tablet as well as a big back up battery, even in less than full sun.
So far so good, have not had it very long (5 days) but has worked well with low light coming in window charging phone.
Very impressed with this solar charger so far. Sometimes my iPhone 5S isn't happy with it. But the solar panel isn't the problem. It charges everything I've pluged into it real fast. I plan on using this in the field on a Military exersize next week all week. We shall see how it holds up under extensive use.
This has been working great. It does have to have full sun but that is to be expected. I have charged a 12,000mah battery usb charger in one day in full sun from 30%.
The panel works very well. So far I have used it to charge my cell phone, my Fenix UC40 UE flashlight and my Anker E5 15000 mAh external battery; all have charged without issue or fuss. The solar panel is easy to understand, easy to use and is completely portable; it will fit in my motorcycle saddle bag and pickup console (albeit on a slight angle).
The only reason this unit gets 4 stars is that there were scratches on 3 of 4 panels upon delivery. The scratches do not appear to affect function and, with an 18 month warranty, can be addressed later if necessary.
***Anker Customer Support has been nothing short of outstanding to work with in resolving the issue. I contacted them via telephone and e-mail and they were friendly, helpful and timely (e-mail) in their responses. Thus, I chose to take a star away from the product, not the Seller.***
