Have had more power outages the last few years and have a own small gas generator for powering household items. Decided that getting a 500X would be good for clean power for my digital stuff (laptops, iPad, phones, etc...). Love it so far, provides plenty of power for my family's gadgets and I purchased the Boulder 100 panel in case we have extended outages. Very good build quality and am very happy with it.
So far so good but we haven’t tested in the real world yet. We bought this for our camping trips when we Boondock in our truck. We tested it inside in 70 degree home to see how long it the battery would last charging our 45 watt fridge. It had to cool the fridge first too. At 12 hours we still had 50% batter left. We haven’t been able to test the solar panel charge of the battery so we will see. Looks like solid construction and we’re looking forward to using soon.
