The one I bought-- from AMZ --was the ECOflow Delta 2  .Found it just before black Friday--was $1300-- and  it was half off--- but I decided on getting the solar panels 

Solar panels?  In Washington?  In winter?  

You are a true optimisit!!!

@juanitalinda ---you can use solar panels anytime, anywhere even though there is no visible sunlight. Even here in Wa!! Made sure of that --otherwise I would have to find an electric power source to charge up the power bank when it ran down---

@wagirl 

Have you tried charging the power station with the solar panels in winter?    Depending on your location, it might be hard to get enough sunlight on the panels to charge when the sun is so low on the horizon and it's cloudy and rainy.  

Of course, in North Bend we didn't have any sunshine today.  Just torrential rain.   

Actually with the wind blowing all the rain around, the windows looked like the antique wavy glass.  Absolutely magical with the colored Chrismas lights in the background.     

PS .... I plan on charging mine from my car if I need to ... or else go to the son's house and charge off his generator.    

I have solar panels on the house, but they don't work during a power outage.  Go figure.

@juanitalinda --No, haven't tried the solar panels-- I just got this power station a few weeks ago---I charged it up ASAP and it is living under my table ---I don't have a car anymore so that is not an option ----where I live, I get any   sun out there  directly on my balcony----no wind here yesterday-- sheeting rain--yes --but also got sunshine too. Hope to never have to use those panels but you never know!!

@monicakm --am a bit confused--what I have would not run a heat pump---wouldn't that have to be a generator type thing that is part of a heat pump system  that kicks on whenever the heat pump goes out? With my machine--it will run fans or heat , or even a portable AC unit as well as appliances and such---but not a whole house system.
