This is an amazing invention. I bought this when my battery started to go out. Luckily, I was able to replace it pretty quick, but I ordered it in the morning for same day delivery and had it within a few hours. The next morning, my battery needed to be charged and it gave me a chance to test this jump starter to see if it was worth the cost. I have a Ford Explorer (insert Ford jokes here) and it's a bit of a beast to charge and jump but this worked out of the box to jump it. I had to use it twice more that day because the battery wasn't holding a charge and it worked perfectly to get me going without the embarrassment of being stranded. Additionally, what makes this a 5 star product is all the extras. There is a compressor built in it that I have not tested on my SUV tires thankfully, but I have used it for all my kids bikes and it works great. It shows the pressure and aired them up quickly. The small flashlight came in handy when I was jumping the car at night and didn't have another flashlight. Even if I did, I prefer this one since it's attached to the device and I could shine it without holding it in my hand. Somehow, they just said "who cares" and added in a USB charger so I have a massive battery pack as well that I can charge anything from small handheld electronics like phones to laptops and car vacuums. It's amazing. Finally, here are some features that I love that are just icing on the cake. It's very compact which allows me to keep it stowed in the back of my SUV easily. The handle on the top seems sturdy and it feels like a metal construction. The fact that all the tubes and cables wind up onto the device make it very convenient. The tester that tells you how much juice you have is great to keep it topped up as needed. I feel safer having it with me in the car knowing that it can help take care of me in a pinch.

I purchased this originally to use with my landscape business JumpStart zero turn and walk behind mowers. Since then I found that I use it for just about everything under the sun. It has plenty enough juice to jumpstart a jeep that I've been working on as a project five or six times before it needs to be charged. With my zero turn and walk behind mowers I can jump start them a dozen times easy. Surprisingly enough the built-in air compressor works pretty well. For small tires like zero turn mowers, wheelbarrows, bicycles, dirt bikes and so on the compressor works great. I've even used it to top off the air pressure in my Mazda RX-8 that requires 50 psi cold anything below 40 and the light comes on on the inside saying low air pressure. Now what I try to inflate a 33" mud terrain tire, no but for everything else including slip and slides it works great. The built-in USB ports are nice to have but I've never really used them. Even though it would be nice if the battery charge lights had two or three more in total would be nice to give you a better overall idea of how much charge is available. I will say one thing that I despise about this product the stupid flashlight! For one it's not that bright and number two is its location. The way they have it situated the button that turns it on is on the underside right where you wrap the cord so if you're not careful you can accidentally turn the light on and if this happens during the daytime you'll have no idea that a flashlight has been activated until you go to use it the next time and the battery is completely dead because said flashlight remained on until it killed the battery. I purchased this in April of 2020 and it's now 5-28-22 so just over two years of use and I would say that I've used it easily 60 times and it's never let me down. As I mentioned before I jump-started things as small as lawn mowers but I've also used it to jumpstart Jeeps, Mazda RX8, Ford F-150. If you've been on the fence about buying a jump box and being concerned whether or not it's worthwhile investment believe me when I say the Stanley box is freaking awesome. If you go to my Amazon profile and read some of my other reviews you'll know that this review is sincere because if I find anything wrong with a product I have no problems with pointing it out. Also know that my last jump box I purchase from Harbor Freight and while it was supposed to be about the same amps is this Stanley the CCA was way lower and I would be lucky if I can jump-start two or three zero turn mowers and never even tried using it to jumpstart a vehicle because I knew it wouldn't have the juice I just figured I'd save the time and get out the jumper cables. Someone stealing the Harbor Freight version out of back of my truck was probably the best thing to happen to me when it comes to portable air compressors and having a decent air pump it's just a nice bonus. My only other advice would be to snap the flashlight off and cut and cap the wires otherwise you will find yourself with a dead jump box because the stupid flashlight was accidentally turned on during the day when you cut a notice.

This thing saved my bacon in all sorts of ways. I bought this on February 15, 2011, because I had needed a jump start one day with no one around. It took forever to get started and going, and I randomly started Googling 'portable jump start units'. This one seemed really good for the price (it was about $65 way back then), and on the face of it had good features, so I bought it. Hurricane Sandy hit NJ (where I am) in October of 2012. I was without power for about 2 months (I live in a very rural area, hence, not a lot of people to jump start cars). This thing was a (non-literal) life saver. It kept my phone charged forever (sure, I had no cell service, but I was able to enjoy those many candle-lit nights of e-book reading going), it had its own really bright LED light (I'm a slow learner. At about week 2 I was like 'wait...why do I need a candle?), and it worked for my iPod charging as well. So, device charging and not having to be constantly stressed about a fire hazard in the house. This thing has done everything I have ever asked of it. The car that was the reason I bought this is long gone, but this has helped me and others get started, it's helped me through several power outages since Sandy (again, rural area. The electric company gets around to repairing our area when they've run out of other things to fill their time sheets with), and heck, the light is bright enough to beam at the ceiling to make sure I'm not whacking my shins when I walk through a dark room because the power is out, or bright enough to point at the engine as I'm trying to get the Gods-cussed vehicle to start when it's pitch dark out (ok, sometimes I leave the lights on. But in at least one case, the battery was on its way out and in the other case, the alternator was). I haven't written about the air hose. I'll be honest, I'm afraid to use it. Could this thing even possibly generate enough pressure for an actual car tire? I...I just am not that brave. I leave it to you to find out. But seriously, this thing rides around in every vehicle I've ever driven since, and it's been on the floor by my bed through blackouts of varying lengths for more evenings than you could shake a stick at. Definitely worth the price, and for me, 3 times over.

Do anything I've done at your own risk. First the negative: This product would have gotten 5 stars except for one glaring problem (for me). The compressor is handy for filling up small tires like ATV and bicycle tires quickly, BUT the switch is a pain in the butt. I have hauled this pack several times loose and in the cover I bought for it. If the pack moves going down the road or in the field, the switch can be bumped on something in the vehicle, and the compressor turns on. It can be unsettling for the vehicle driver (me), and it also runs down the battery until the switch it turned off. The remedy to this takes up more room but almost completely assures the switch will not be bumped. Carry the pack in a 5-gallon bucket with some towels or a wood block or something in the bottom of the bucket to raise the pack high enough in the bucket so the pack doesn't "stretch" the bucket and split out the sides. Last week, I bought the 600/300 Stanley jump pack without the compressor, and the dimensions are slightly smaller, and the pack fits nicely inside the 5-gallon bucket I am using. The positive: Extremely handy for jumpstarting my zero-turn mower and ATVs. Riding mower batteries have been costing me about $50 a pop, and they don't seem to last for me. So, the last time around to buy a new mower battery, I just decided to jumpstart my zero -turn mower, and it worked great. I have been using the jump pack this way for the last 2 years of mowing about once a week. As for my ATV, I put a toolbox on the back rack (yes, it takes up space on the back rack) permanently mounted, and I cut the cables on the ATV side and on the jump pack side and put the red quick couplers (available on Amazon) on the jumper cable ends and also on the jump pack and on the ATV. I put the jump pack inside the toolbox and strap it down. I can't close the lid on the toolbox, but I've never had the pack fall out because the pack sits down inside the toolbox quite a bit. I also found out that winches pull a lot of juice. My 98 Grizzly only puts out 14A max from the stator. I burned out 3 stator pick up coils and 2 ATV batteries before I figured this out. The 1000/500 pack has worked flawlessly so far. The battery pack takes the stress off the stator while using the winch, and the stator also recharges the battery pack (duh) while the ATV is running. Since this pack also has a compressor on it, it is super-handy for airing up an ATV tire when it gets a bit low. My pack also has a 12v outlet and a USB outlet, and I have used both. I have a 175 watt power inverter that I've used to power the lights at the cabin, but it only lasts about 30 minutes tops, so use sparingly. I have used the USB for powering a small USB fan (4 inch) to circulate a small amount of air in the cabin, and it works pretty good for that. I have not plugged any sensitive electronics like my iphone into the USB, and I will not do it except if I'm desperate. The pack charges up from a standard wall outlet and a drop cord in an hour or two usually. Charge it after every use if at all possible. The charge indicator lights are nice. Overall, this is a very good product for my purposes.

Years ago I had a car with issues and my Stanley Fat Max saved me numerous times. I can't say that today's version meets me expectations. No power button, no improvements over the years, worthless flash light, zero charge, poor sticker placement and zero customer service. For as expensive as these things are, I expect better. I can't even try this one for jump starting because there's no power button. I sent an email to Stanley Support on Sunday. It's been 2 business days with zero response. (Meanwhile the packaging is just sitting out in case I need to send it back.) Amazon can't fix it without me sending it back for a complete replacement. Amazon's solution is for me to call...which I kept forgetting to do during business hours. Not convenient since I have zero time to wait on hold. I tried the number tonight and it's for a completely different company! The unit came with zero charge. It took almost 36hrs for it to fully charge. The flash light on my old one was great for seeing the tire, but I always wished I could move it around more. Not only have they not upgraded that in any way, it's so dim I doubt you could see anything with it. A couple of years ago I got a $20 pump that you could program. You'd think with all the tech advances that it something that Stanely would have. Nope. Same exact system from many years ago. Something small, but speaks to the care/quality: the sticker on the top portion wasn't placed properly. It's off and had lots of pockets of air. I tried to gently push the air out...it looks crummy and cheap. Not something that cost as much as this did. Side note: Packaging was perfect. This wasn't a shipping issue. This unit left the manufacturer this way.

This jumpstarter is absolutely amazing. I mean it. My car has had it's battery die on many occasions, due to a variety of circumstances. I have never had a problem with it in it's extensive use. Trust me, this thing takes a lot of abuse from me. It sits in my trunk 100% of the time, unsecured, in freezing cold temperatures, bounces around, and gets very frequent use (anywhere from daily use to once or twice a month). I bought it on November 6th 2014, and at the time of writing it is Febuary 2nd 2015. I haven't had it for long, but I have definitely used it more than anyone should have to use one of these. And it still works just fine. The cables and alligator clips seem very sturdy, as well as the materials used for the casing, handle, and various switches. It is very reliable. I would wager that it is more reliable than my car's actual, brand new (November 2014) battery. Now that we have it's sturdiness aside, I'm going to talk about it's performance as a jump-starter. Yes, it does come with some fancy frills, but let's be honest. None of those matter if it doesn't do it's intended job. However, that's not an issue at all, because it DOES do it's job, and it does it very well. My car is a 1988 Mazda RX-7. These have a lot of electrical problems, due to Mazda's poor soldering and 27 years of corrosion on the grounding points. My battery will every once in a while drain for some unknown cause, it leaves a circuit closed after turning it off or something. Even when the battery is 100% dead like this, this jumpstarter can crank out enough power to turn it on. If you try to turn the car on very quickly after connecting it (less than 10 seconds), it might not turn the motor over very quickly. However, if you wait just a few seconds, it cranks it over just as well as a fully charged battery. Basically, when the battery is 100% dead, it takes a couple seconds to build up some juice. Which is fine. Another thing, my car has a strange engine that is drastically different from any other car's engine (it has a rotary engine). These take a LOT of power to crank over. This jumpstarter is more than capable of turning it over. In the winter, it is a common phenomenon that the rotary engines have trouble starting even with their own factory battery, fully charged. They thick oil they use compounded with the high power necessary to start them renders them sometimes useless in the cold. In the winter, if the car doesn't want to start, I just pull this out, connect it, and it'll start faster than ever. It gives a significant boost to the battery, and lets the car start much faster than usual in conditions when it would normally not even start at all. Next, let's talk about charging, battery life, etc. It does not take long to charge at all. There are two ways to charge it, you can use a 12V DC "cigarette lighter" plug (included) and charge it in the car, and it also has an AC plug that you attach an extension cord (not included) to charge from a wall socket. I haven't used the car plug, I have only used an extension cord. It usually has a "green light" in a few hours or less. Granted, I have never fully drained it, I've come down to the first LED out of the 3 that indicate the charge level). This leads into another great thing about it. It can take a lot of use before it needs to be charged. I have had it for 3 months now, and I have charged it about 3 times. This may seem like a lot, but remember, I use it very, very frequently. I haven't actually counted how many times I can use it before I have to charge it. However, when it's very cold out, I use it almost every time I start the car. This shouldn't count as a "full jump" though, because my car battery is actually fully charged. I'd count it as a "partial jump" because it IS using power from the jump starter. It gives enough "extra power" to get the motor started. Doing this, I have never actually had the indicator drop below the green "fully charged" level (or whichever it was currently at). As for completely dead jumps, I tend to mix those in with the "partial jumps". I can't give exclusive data on that, because as is the case with jump starting, it occurs unexpectedly. However, I can definitely perform multiple completely dead jumps on a single charge. Sometimes a full jump won't even take it below the "fully charged" green LED indicator. Sometimes, it will drop down to the 2/3 level. If I had to take a guess, I'd say the jump starter would be able to jump my car (with a completely dead battery) reliably 3-5 times in a row before it can't do it anymore. Maybe even a bit more, if the car battery is not 100% dead, but doesn't have enough juice to either start the car or even turn it over. I have also used it extensively to turn the motor over without the goal of starting the car. Sometimes my car has problems that require turning the engine over without actually starting the car. If you're familiar with cars, I have to take out the spark plugs or fuel pump fuse and crank the engine over. When doing this, if I turn the key, the engine just makes the "brrrbrrrbrrrbrrr" noise but never starts. This kills my car's battery, so I hook up the jump starter once it's dead. Again, I have not collected any hard data, but I do have a general idea of the jump starter's capabilities through frequent use. If I had to give a figure, I would say that the jump starter (from a full charge) can turn the engine over all on its own for a total time of about a minute to a minute and a half before it gets to the first of three charge indicator lights. That is a minute and a half of constant "brrrbrrrbrrrbrrrbrrrbrrrbrrrbrrr". To those who know that doing that for such a long time is bad, this is not all at once, it is spaced out over the period I'm working on the car. In summary, you barely have to charge this thing. It can easily take a couple jump starts before you even have to THINK about charging it. I'm gonna recommend that you keep it fully charged, and charge it after every use. It is definitely unnecessary, but I'm gonna say it just for the sake of saying it. I don't want anybody to get mad because "this guy online told me it would last exactly 4 jump starts! Now it's not working and he's an idiot and I'm stranded!". And it puts out a very generous amount of power as well. Now, the fun little features that it has! It has a USB port that you can use for charging phones, electronic cigarettes, cameras, or even to power your USB desk back massager. I have never actually used it "for real", but I did test it out, and it works. I don't know how long it would be able to power something like a phone, but if you are stranded somewhere, you will DEFINITELY NOT have to worry about your cell phone dying. If it can jump a car multiple times, it can probably power a phone for a very long time. The built-in flashlight works pretty well. You can move it around and stuff, and it can actually really help at night if you need light for something. It's not the best flashlight in the world, because it's attached to a giant battery, but it gets the job done. It's more of an "oh crap I need light" thing than "I'm gonna be out in the garage tonight, I'd better bring the jump starter so I can see!". The charge level indicators are a little weird, but it really isn't a problem. You just press a button, and 1-3 LED's light up to show you how much it has left. I can see how someone would think it's a little inaccurate (you couldn't have put like a couple more lights on at least?), but it gets the job done. You really do not need an exact percentage display of the battery life, and this reduces the cost because it doesn't need an on-board computer to run a display. The last little thing it has is a mini air-compressor for filling your tires. The value of this depends on how you look at it. It is NOT good for filling up your tires. It will take forever. If I'm being honest, you're probably better off going to a gas station and paying a quarter. Even though it's kind of awful, it is still easily my favorite feature of this jump starter. If you happen to notice that a tire is low, you can just fill it up. If you're like me, then it's always in the car with you, and you never have to worry about finding a way to fill your tires. If a tire is leaking air, but is still somewhat drive-able, it will be a lifesaver. You can use this crappy little air compressor to limp your way over to a repair shop (or your house, if you're so inclined). It is a great thing to have in a desperate situation. Now onto the negative things...which there aren't many of. The switch for the air compressor is on the back. Under normal, not reckless use, it is 100% fine and there is nothing wrong with it. However, this thing sits in my trunk literally all the time. It is not fastened down at all, and there isn't really anything else to hold it even remotely in place. As a result, it ends up flying around a lot. Not often, but occasionally, the air compressor switch will flip to the "on" position from a bump, hard turn, panic braking, etc. I would not consider this one a flaw with the product, it is more of a user error. I know I don't take care of it, and it really is a result of my negligence. It is still worth noting though. To avoid this, you have some options. First of all, don't be like that random guy on the internet and let it fly around in your trunk. Second, if you do, place it so that the front (the side with the yellow buttons) is on the bottom. It is much less likely for something to move the switch, because it would have to flip over. If you manage to flip it over AND move the switch while driving like a sane human being, then I honestly think you deserve to have your air compressor switch flipped. Lastly, you could put some tape over the switch or something if you absolutely cannot avoid stowing it recklessly and driving like a maniac. Next issue, the size. For anybody who has a somewhat normal car, this is not really an issue. It may be able to power a car, but it is not the size of a car battery. It is much smaller. However, I have a two-seater convertible that only really has a trunk because it's hard to sell a car without a trunk. It takes up a large portion of my trunk. It is DEFINITELY worth it, but again, it is worth mentioning that with the other various tools I need in there for my ancient car, I pretty much end up with 1/3 of my trunk space available for trunk-stuff. And that's after playing trunk-tetris and getting everything to fit like a puzzle. So be warned, if you have something like a Miata, S2000, or another tiny two seater, space might be an issue if you keep it in the car all the time. If you don't have a hilariously small car, then ignore everything I just said. You may have to take it out if you're planning on hauling a metric crapload of stuff, but othewise it really shouldn't impede you. Basically, the solution to this negative is 1.) you could not keep it in your trunk (I don't suggest this one), or 2.) don't drive a roadster. If you already have a roadster, I'm sorry, but you're just gonna have to sell it. If you can't deal with the 2-seater's now barely-existent trunk, then you have to pick between this jump starter and the car. And you should pick the jump starter. Another negative thing I have is yet another thing that barely even counts as a negative. The flashlight is right above the thing you use to wrap one of the cords around. If you quickly try to wrap it up, you might get the cord caught on the flashlight just a tiny bit. Not really an issue, just something that I would change if I were to design a newer model. One negative thing that I'm seeing on some reviews of this and other jump starters is that the alligator clips break. I may have gotten lucky, or they may have gotten unlucky. Personally, I haven't had an issue with them, and I actually think they are built rather well. But it isn't worth glossing over, because if a lot of people complain about it, there may be some truth to it. Just know that even if some of them are bad, mine is proof that they are definitely not all like that. One final negative I have is the air compressor. It is an awesome thing that they included, and it could really come in handy, but it objectively is a bad thing to use for filling your tires. It is NOT supposed to be very good, after all, if you want a good air compressor, then you shouldn't be buying a battery jump starter. However, it is loud, I could hear it VERY clearly while driving, on the highway, with it in the trunk, that is a completely isolated compartment from the cabin. The first time the switch flipped after a bump, the loud noise actually freaked me out, because I heard this huge vibrating noise that would not stop, and I thought it was coming from the car. It is also pretty low-powered (again, it is attached to a car jump starter that only supplies 12 volts). It takes a long time to fill up air, and it obviously struggles getting the tire pressure up once it gets to (relatively) higher PSI. To summarize, this is an absolutely amazing device. It comes in handy in a lot of desperate situations. It can take tons of regular wear and tear as well as abuse (I would know, I'm not exactly nice to it). It manages to jump start even cars that are pretty difficult to start, and it can do it time and time again without recharging. Still, for safety's sake and just in case, I'd recommend keeping it charged. Just know that it is definitely capable of multiple jumps if 1.) you happen to need it multiple times in a row, and 2.) you don't feel like charging it every time you use it. It has some nice "extra" little features that you probably won't use a lot, but are definitely nice to have on the off chance you do need them. I keep this thing in my car literally all the time. It has not only saved my sorry butt more times than I can count, but it also allows me to use my car without worry in the winter when there's a less than 50% chance my car wouldn't normally work. If you are even THINKING about buying this, stop thinking, and give Stanley your money already. Even if you aren't thinking about it, even if you don't have a car, buy it.

I drive a honda ridgeline pickup truck and my wife drive a honda civic. I've been looking for a decent jumpstarter that would be powerful enough for both of our vehicles. Rather then having 2 various models it just seemed easier to get two identical units. After reading reviews on several various jump-starters I opted for this model. Now the most negative thing I could find about this thing was it lacked a flat charger so you couldn't leave it plugged in. For me that's not even a factor, after all I bought this to charge it and then put it in the trunk of my wifes car and in the cargo area of my truck. I don't intend on leaving this plugged in. So if you plan on using this HOW IT IS DESIGNED then you too don't even need to worry about the lack of a float charger. That being said, the unit itself is a bit heavy, imagine picking up really big battery, that's essentially what this is. It has some weight to it. The jumpstarter itself also features an interesting little light that pivots as well as an air compressor. I've heard/read back reviews on the air compressor, for me it's not why I bought it. But initial checks it looks like it works fine and even has somewhere to store the air hose which is really nice. The one negative I have on this thing is the power switch for the air compressor is on the back and is not protected. In other words it could in theory be flipped on and drain the battery. So when you need to jump your car the starter would be dead. I wish they put a cover or moved the switch but honestly it would take a perfect mistake for that to get turned on so it's really not that critical. To prevent this from potentially happening I actually went down to Target and bought 2 milk crates,one for me and one for my wife. I put a jump starter, first aid kit, oil, etc in the crate so it's essentially the roadside emergency crate and also protects the jumpstarter from getting knocked around and/or turned on. Overall I spent $140 total on 2 of these and I'm really happy with the quality. They charge overnight easily, the indicator lights show you the charge remaining on the battery and it has power ports for 12volt and USB which is an added bonus. If you need a jumpstarter I would definitely consider this one.
