Picowe 250W Portable Generator


I carry around a 20,000 mAh battery pack with me at all times and a lot of times that isn’t enough or I have bigger things that won’t run off of it, so I bought this portable generator by Picowe. This thing is small (10.2”x3.9”x6.2”) but powerful enough to run just about everything I need.

If the power goes out, I can run my laptop, CPAP machine, charge my phone, run my weather station or run a small tv. That is a big bonus in my book. Works just as well if you are camping or traveling and don’t have access to a plug.

This does take about a full 8 hours to charge (plugged into the wall) but with three charging options (solar (panel not included), wall socket, car charger) you can charge this pretty much any place you are.

Testing this, I got about 8 hours of running my laptop that is rated at 50 watts before needing to recharge this generator. That is pretty good in my opinion. My CPAP machine is rated a little higher so I should get 5-6 hours out of it if needed but I only get about 6 hours of sleep anyway, so that is fine.

This does have 1 AC outlet (normal wall outlet), 3 DC outlets (small round device plugs) and 2 USB outlets (one at 2A, one at 1A). So, the only downfall of this generator that I have found, is there isn’t at least 2 AC outlets to allow me to run multiple devices at the same time without a power strip or extension cord. Love to have my fan on while I sleep with my CPAP machine on.

A great little device that is very portable and will find even more uses for the longer I have it for. In the box is the generator, AC charger cable, Car charger cable, Cigarette Lighter Adapter, Instructions and comes with a 12-month warranty.
