Customer Reviews

More to break, but more redundancy against breakage.
David Mace
I like solar generators compared to gas-powered generators, because they obviously don't require gas, and don't make noise.
Phill
By the time power is restored, the system can be recharged from the grid itself.

Style Name: Cube 1500 Verified Purchase
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.

Style Name: Cube 1500
After repeated power failures lasting several hours and even days after hurricanes and thunderstorms, I decided its time for a power backup source.

Initially I was thinking about a gasoline run generator (like most people), but I remembered looking at distressed people holding red gasoline containers, in very long lines, at the only operational gas station in our area with power and gasoline. Gasoline was rationed to 1 or 2 gallons per person and people waited in very long lines for many hours for their turn to get it. Local police had to be present at these gas stations because fights broke out between people waiting in long lines. So getting gas for automobiles or generators is a nightmarish situation during disasters. Even if a person does manage to get a gallon of gasoline, it will only last for an average eight hours in a gas generator. So eight hours of generator power after such hellish struggle is not enough, not to mention having the need to keep the gas generator outdoors because of it's smoke air pollution and the constant loud engine noise.

I was hoping to find any other type of battery based generator which could be powered by a renewable resource such as solar. I found another solar generator on Amazon but it was much more expensive than this "Wagan Solar e Power Cube". After seven months of searching for an ideal system, I finally found this amazing system at the local Costco warehouse. This is the perfect solar generator which I was hoping to find in my budget.

It is incredible to be able to recharge it from sunlight, or automobile, or electric-grid. Although sunlight charging may be limited to a certain percentage of total battery capacity per day, it is still better than nothing.

Style Name: Cube 1500
Heads up: Five 16 watt panels is a MAXIMUM production (peak energy produced under ideal conditions) of 80 watts. Since most of them can't be aimed, that's at high noon, on the equator. So, substantially less than 80 watts available to charge its 55AH battery. You seldom get every watt a solar panel is rated for, even in 'ideal' conditions, unless the panels track the sun.

THIS IS NOT 1500 WATTS! 100% truthful specifications, but presented as a misleading con. I never said the specifications weren't 'accurate'. It's misleading to claim that this could deliver 1500 watts, like a $1000 Honda generator could. Using the solar panel to charge it, you could reasonably expect enough watts to charge a cell phone and maybe run some low wattage LED lighting at night, and maybe a radio or very small TV set. That's it. This won't run a refrigerator for more than 15 minutes. This won't be a replacement for a 'real' generator for the household.

Rapid, deep cycles are extremely destructive to lead acid batteries of all kinds. The solar panels ON TOP OF THIS are completely inadequate to keep the battery charged, *especially* if you are foolish enough to plug 1500 watt loads into it. The battery is 55 amp-hour, and judging from the size, I'll assume that's 12 volt. Roughly 660 watt hours (new), which will degrade over time. Which means at the '1500 Watt' power output, you will have far less than 20 minutes of runtime, and a full 24 hours (of peak daylight), meaning 2~3 days of recharge in ideal conditions, not using this box at all during that entire time, to recharge with its built-in solar, alone. Heavy draws drain batteries faster, and destroy batteries far more quickly, too.
