BioLite SolarHome 620 Portable Off-Grid Solar Lighting System, 620+ (no mp3 Player)

I installed this in my chicken coop and it works great. The girls can even listen to music as they lay their eggs! Plenty of wire included. My coop is 8' X 12'. It includes a small area for storage where I have a single light and the other two lights are in the actual coop area. I feel that this device is a VERY GOOD value!

Great little power system for my new greenhouse. My main motivation was to power a small fan to help with air movement and it works for that, but drains the battery pretty quickly. Fortunately, the sun always rises the next day ;)Lights and radio in the greenhouse are a bonus!

For the cost $200 it’s too expensive for something that is only 100 lumens it is definitely not bright at all. I would need all three in one place for it to work not only that I understand as the company is helping out poor people in Africa but I seen a payment feature on the device where if you don’t pay your bill, you don’t have access to these lights I don’t know but that seems kind of messed up to me to be charging these four people that live in a Third World country and if they don’t pay their bill you’re going to turn off their lights if you ask me that’s kind of shady especially that you’re selling a unit that is not barely even bright I did the research and I found so many other standalone units for a quarter of the price and it was at least 10 times brighter. There’s also two other brands that I’ve seen on YouTube that offer three lights and a unit to carry. I have read good reviews but those ones are significantly cheaper $50 compared to $200 , I thought this company was good. I thought they were helping people out but their product is cheap even the grill I know somebody that handles and works with electronics when he opened up the grill and the parts inside of the grill for very cheap The wood that needs to be inside of it Hass to be very small . They don’t make a fire with that small overall I wasn’t happy with the product at all. It was a major disappointment for the price. I expected it to be much brighter and I read the reviews on their grill. People are having problems with it. Melting the w side unit I understand it’s a very intricate get grill and you have to follow the instructions to the t it has its pros. It has its cons it’s just wasn’t for me. Neither was this set up. I wanted it for emergency, but it wasn’t bright enough and pitch black and barely lit up my tent. It was fully charged. Everything was connected right there’s so many other units out there for cheaper that are brighter.

Doesn't work without full on sun.Doesn't work on cloudy days.Doesn't work with trees around.I hate it.I've tried it for a month.It won't work. I'm disappointed and unsatisfied

These are great if you need light and have no power. I have two of these running through my house because I live in a rural area and never know when the power will fail here. With these I have a light in every room no matter what, power outages, or just set one on low here and there for security. I'm currently looking to buy the bigger external battery pack.

Unit DOA when new and will not charge from sun (solar panel) or a wall unit (accessory not included). Pressing 1 & 5 simultaneously does not clear a 'fault'. The 'fault' is that these units are junk, made cheaply overseas with an undersized battery so that the company can turn a profit off the poor folks in Africa. Proof is that the units for African sale require the owner to 'pay' for the unit's use with some type of payment plan for using the product. This is the last Biolite product I will ever buy. The company also has no phone number to call with problems/questions/warranty requests, etc. Too bad. I love my Firepit but the rest of their stuff is junk.

I use this to save money at home.I wish it had a bigger battery to charge as the north east isnt always sunny..A 1-800 number would help with questions .As a supporter of helping others in 3rd world country's is cool and was my incentive to buy this .Biolite be cool be more user friendly for the whole planet. It's a start. but Biolite isnt easy to get contact.not good .And the elusive AC power charging cord can't. Be purchased on amazon,I refuse to pay any more shipping and handling after purchasing 620.
