Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Decided to pick this up based on the positive reviews (which I suspect could be from company employees, perhaps). I charged the unit for 48 hours continuously. Then, I plugged in my laptop and used it as normal. This draws between just 40-50 watts using my watt meter. At the 45 minute mark, the unit was dead. The packaging estimated 1hr and 6 minutes of run time with a 90 watt draw, which is twice the wattage that I consumed. So, I figured that I'll just go ahead and see how much juice I get out of pull starting it for 3 minutes, and do another run test.
Well, on the second pull, the pull cord became fully extended and will not return back to it's retracted position. I couldn't help but notice on the bottom where it says MADE IN CHINA. Well, that explains that. Hopefully I can return this piece of junk for a refund.
