SolarTable 120

Underlying fragility in Gosun products

The marketing shows Gosun products being tossed into truck beds, hauled over hill & dale, set up, plugged in, and presto! Power! The reality of using their products suggests you better handle them with care. The solar table arrived slightly damaged (one of 4 soldered connections underneath broken & a dent in the plastic cover on that connection). Then there's the Chillest- the videos show people tossing them into trucks, etc. Upon reading the manual, it sounds like you'd better not tip the cooler beyond 15 degrees, which ain't much if you're camping, or risk damaging the compressor. Then there's the cooker- cooks fine, cooks fast, but one thing at a time, or the addition of cool food to the hot tube will, of course, break the glass tube. Bottom line: Gosun needs to work on making their products much more robust. Also, the printed manual for the Chillest was missing an important piece of info that I luckily found in the online version.

A bit of adjustments to perfection

I like the weight and the fact it can power up to 120W. Bottom legs should have a plastic bottom ideal to protect metal or also not to scratch bottom surfaces; or in case where there is grass so that it doesn’t get hurried as easily. Also, to extend the legs is a bit challenging. Last, having a carry-on bag for this table would be ideal to transport easier.

So excited to use this when it warms enough for me to emerge from my winter cocoon

If you only need a table some of the time, why not use it to gather the power of the sun for the time you aren't actively using it? 120W of power is a great asset to have. It comes with a connector to allow you to use both 60W panels at once as an input to your powerbank device - or you can gather into two powerbanks separately as both sides have their own capture cords,
