It is a good power station. Efficient and fast charging.
I have only had it a few days so far. It was delivered one day later than the tracking said it would be originally because of fedex. But i got it.The only bad thing about it is you have to have Wifi to connect it to your phone through the app. Cannot use Bluetooth to use the app. You need the app to adjust the charging setting if you dont want ac power charging at 800 watts. you can lower it in the app.It charges at 800 watts from ac power, It came with a wall plug and a car charging plug. Did not come with a solar plug. All the usb ports work and everything else works on it. I like the display and everything on it. More effecient than the new bluetti and ecoflow lifepo4 battery options on ac and dc per reviews on youtube. Will update when and if i have any issues with the unit.

Portable & Powerful
I have used the unit a couple of times to test it out. The spec's are very much in line with the advertisement. The unit charges fast from wall outlet and with the solar panel it's pretty impressive. I haven't used it in an emergency yet but I feel comfortable saying that it should keep our essentials, refrigerator, freezer and radio or TV running all at once for few hours. I will update this post after more testing.. So far I have no complaints!!

nice
I just received this unit, so I'm still evaluating it. I may update my rating later. On the whole it seems to combine a lot of nice-to-have unique features (e.g. wifi-communication App, 800/200 watt AC charging, quiet fans, UPS, medium weight, LiFePO4) into a single package, which is good. But then there are the adapter cables, or lack thereof. No cable at all is included for connecting to solar panels. It does include a roughly 9 foot long adapter cable for charging from a cigarette lighter port, but that cable uses 18AWG wire! Round trip that would be around 18 feet of 18AWG wire. Big red flag. Hooking it up to a fully charged 12v LifePO4 battery, the Vigorpool reports that it is only able to draw around 85 watts, and the the adapter cable gets noticeably warm while doing so. So, at my own added expense and further delay, I ordered a third-party 10AWG adapter cables from Amazon, and from that it draws 99 watts. On the other hand, the Vigorpool specs say that DC input is limited to 12 amps. So, how to do better? By actual testing, I've confirmed that by boost converting a 12v battery to 48 volts and then feeding that output as input into the Vigorpool, I'm able to charge the vigorpool at a 400w rate from a 12v battery. However, doing this draws about 37.5 amps from the 12v battery, so you'll need to be wired directly to the battery to do this, not through a cigarette lighter. ;-)Worthy of note is that the Vigorpool's quiescent power draw with an unloaded AC inverter appears to be about 20w, or around 64 hours. That's a bit high if compared to a high quality inverter, but, on the other hand, it's excellent if you compare it to, say, a typical APC UPS or CyberPower UPS. Fortunately, the quiescent power draw from the Vigorpool's DC outputs appears to be much lower, maybe 1 or 2 watts, so that part is great.Here's a hint that might help you: Initially I had some difficulty getting the bluetooth/wi-fi app to connect with the Vigorpool, which was sitting on a concrete floor. However, after I elevated the Vigorpool a couple of feet off the floor, the problem went away.

Looks Good -Time will show how good.
My first unit was defective ( app did not connect to the station) and Vigorpool replaced the unit and sent me free storage bag. THANK YOU.Generator looks and feels solid.I`m not using this unit every day. This is my back up, buthere are the couple things I noticed so far:All settings can be changed via app only.Info on the app is not always matching info from unit display.Unit is equipped with Bluetooth (TY), but app only works when unit is connected to the internet via WIFI.-Customer service stated that app will be updated soon.With load under 100W fan is turning on and off every couple seconds, but it is quiet.When battery level drops to 5% AC inverter is shutting down.When I connected cable from DC output to anderson charging input unit showed 90W input, but output shows 0W.AC voltage stays above 110V event with 1200W load, however with load above 1200W unit is still providing power, but voltage it is drooping - more watts less voltage.In UPS mode fan is turning on and off even with very small load.Also in UPS mode if load is around 1200W unit does not charge batteries. Charging starts when load drops and charging rate depends on the load. I hope Vigorpool will fix all the bugs very soon.I hope that soon some Youtuber will look inside the box and post the video. I really would like to see what quality components are used to build this power station.
