Took my 18% Android Razr Maxx HD up to 48%. No full charge out of it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great on canoe trip

I purchased the Goal Zero kit for a 6 day canoe trip and to keep my cell and Garmin 705 charged. Paired up they performed well - did take some active management of the solar panel to make the best use of the sun - keeping it pointed the best way

The little stick that could...

I took one of these on a 32-day hike on the Appalachian Trail. B/c there are so many places to get off the trail to supply up and recharge, I was able to use it with my iPhone charger plug, and I had 2+ iPhones worth of power to get me to the next re-supply. Also have the Nomad 7 solar panels, but didn't bring due to weight. Will test the panels when I'm on trail in CA, and have fewer places to get power up electrically.

Bought two weeks ago and I've already used it multiple times with no issues. Was worried at first as i've had issues with other brands, but goal zero again lived up to their name.

Portable and efficient, it charges quickly from its USB port. It then resides in my purse, and quickly recharges my 3-year-old iPhone5, which has a fading battery, giving me extra time away from a wall outlet.

The portable battery is perfect for charging a smartphone in the backcountry, in cities, and during travel. The Switch 8 is light-weight and an easy shape to pack. I am able to charge my iPhone one full charge using the battery. If you do buy this Switch 8 without a solar panel, the battery does not include a USB to USB wire that allows you to charge the battery from a wall charger. This will have to be purchased separately, unfortunately.
I would recommend this to a friend!
