Recently purchased the River 3 Plus for a camping trip and it worked out perfectly. I was able to charge phones, run lights at night, and even too off smaller battery backups. I could see pairing this with a solar panel and having many days of power without stress. At home I plan on using it as emergency backup and eventually pairing it with the add-on battery unit (one of the main reasons I chose this version) to use as temporary power for appliances during power outages. I am very happy with this purchase and will definitely be buying from Outbound Power in the future.
