  • True Review
Style: Cube 1500
After extensive research, I purchased my Wagan eCube 1500 on Amazon and put it through some testing. Here are my conclusions: Pros: 1) The unit IS very competitively priced. The two primary considerations for a "solar generator" are how many WATTS of solar power does it generate, and how many Amp-Hours of battery storage does it store. This unit is 80W/55Ah. I found products that had MORE and cost MORE and products that had LESS and cost LESS. I did not find any product that had more and cost less. 2) The specifications are accurate The specifications are written pretty much exactly like all of the competitors specifications. Watts, Amp-hours, inverter watts, etc. I saw a review that implied the specifications were deceptive or difficult to understand - not true. 3) The unit comes in a very slick and portable enclosure. You might save some money if you went out and bought separate solar panel(s), battery, charge controller, high-power inverter, various plugs/switches/connectors, and a portable enclosure. However, that would take some time, technical expertise, and in the end it would not look as slick or be as portable. I can't imagine that would be worth it for too many people. 4) Expandable: Allows an additional solar panel and battery. I plan to add an external panel Cons: 1) My unit came missing one of the (many) screws in the cover. Not a big deal (it's redundant) but annoying. 2) I sent a few emails with questions I had to technical support with no response. Finally, I called and got a live person that was very helpful. 3) You can AIM the solar panels, but it's clumsy. If you want a little faster charge, you can simply tilt the entire unit towards the sun. I did this and it works fine, but is clumsy. You do this by wedging a block of wood, stick, or something under a corner. My Application: I bought this unit to provide AC power in the event of an emergency situation, or for camping or bugging-out. I like solar generators compared to gas-powered generators, because they obviously don't require gas, and don't make noise. This unit has a monster inverter (1500+ watts) - capable of operating any plug-in device all the way up to a hair dryer or microwave. Of course, a hairdryer would run down the battery in less than 10 minutes - not a great use of backup power. I see my primary application being to operate radios, TVs, computers, cell-phones, battery chargers, and perhaps some low-wattage lighting. For these types of devices, you can get many hours of use. The unit could take up to 2-3 days to fully charge the battery via solar alone (note: you can also charge it via AC or car battery). If you were using the unit every day to it's full capacity, with only solar power, you might never get more than 1/2 to 1/3 of it's full battery charge capacity - which just means less run-time for whatever you have plugged into this. That's pretty much how all solar generators work. You would need 1000's of watts of solar power to really operate a home and all of your electrical goodies. Anything less than 1000's of watts is really just for less demanding backup applications - and these all come down to how many WATTS and Amp-Hours the solar generator provides. I'm planning on adding a 150W solar panel (about $300 on Amazon) on my roof and leaving that connected to the eCube 1500, while it's stored in my storage closet, with it's built-in panels closed. This will keep the unit permanently charged and ready to go. That way, if I lose power, I can still have backup power continuously in the home for my small appliances, and I can still unplug the roof panel and take the eCube (including it's own built-in panels) with me if I leave the home. Because the external panel is about 2x the wattage of the built-in panels, it will charge the unit's battery in about 1/2 the time. Personally, I feel pretty well prepared for any sort of short-term or long-term power outage with this little unit. It's not as nice as having a $25,000+ solar plant, but it's just about perfect for having some back-up power when and where you need it. ... show more

  • Runs multiple appliances nicely
Style: Cube 1500
I purchased the eCube thru Amazon in Feb., though I had to wait until winter had loosened its grip on Ohio to run a test (mid March) . I also purchased a 70w Renogy panel (about $ 100) bringing the potential solar input up to its 150w maximum. The first sunny day I set it up in my backyard from about 11am till about 3:30 pm, during which the yard was clear of shadows. A power strip on a Kill-a-watt meter was hooked up to four appliances: A 32" Samsung LED TV (40 w) a CFL bulbed torchiere lamp (15 w) my son's old dorm fridge (600w(!) for a few seconds on startup, then 80w on about a 30% duty cycle for an average load of 30w) and a slow cook crock pot full of stew on low (125w) . During the trial the TV and light were switched on and off, and the fridge of course cycled on and off-- everything ran like a top. I check the current put out by the Renogy with a clamp on DC ammeter and it read about 4 amps, so solar replenishment was about best case. During trial toward the end I hooked up the Wagan AC charger to an inverter on one of my hybrid auto' s power points to see if it would work concurrently with the solar input ( it did). At the test' s conclusion the Kill-A-watt meter registered upwards of 600 watt hours had been supplied by the Wagan unit. The Wagan' s LED battery voltage reading was12.3 VDC. Independent measurement with a Schumacher battery charger indicated 52% charge. It was fully charged via the AC charger 8 hours later. I wouldn't take these numbers as gospel but they are a good indicator of what the unit can do by way of providing food , light refrigeration & entertainment in the event of an outage. If there's no sun the Wagan AC charger (75 w continuous input) could be run out of my hybrid car, which runs the engine about 2 minutes out of 20-25). I'd like to think this unit would run a sump pump or furnace blower for a few hours, but I'll leave those tests for another day. ... show more

  • A bad experience that we hope was a fluke
Style: Cube 1500
We thought we'd be getting a system that would allow us to minimize our dependence on public utilities, but unfortunately just plugging in a simple lamp and bulb, (total wattage usage not exceeding 45 watts, per hr. bulb drained 23 watts and lamp was pulling 20 watts) which should have given us up to 35 or more hrs. of usage time, instead only gave us a couple of hrs. The minute the system dropped to around 10.6 (the system only went as high as 12.6) it would beep and when it dropped to 10.4 it would shut off completely. The digital display stopped working after the first 4 days, and when we went to recharge it after the first 2 full days of charging we did prior to even putting any load on, it would not charge above 12.3, but the minute you placed any type of load on it, it dropped to 11.6 and again within an hr. or 2 it would fall to 10.6 and start beeping and by 10.4 it would shut off. We never got to use the system for the 35 hrs. it should have given us, we were lucky if we got 2hrs. at best. A side note is in regards to the shipping company used and we are assuming this damage came from the delivery. We received the item in a box that looked as though it had been dragged on its side corners as they were all torn up. Then we opened the box and removed the item inside, when we cut the boxes away we found that one of the pull out charge panels had a very large protruding crack on the outside of the pull out panel and on the other side of the drawer we found a hairline crack the cracks were at least 4 in. in length. ... show more
