A recharge for your phone, iPhone, Blackberry(with a special(micro usb) tip) and other devices.and a flash light. Works great.charges all of my usb devices well. And not only will it recharge off the sun but also from my laptop or pc.
I was really hoping for a solid product especially coming from a more established company.but unfortunately the product just didn't work to even my lowest expectations. The LED light notification system is VERY hard to understand.it looks easy.but in real world situations it is not. If you are even thinking about getting this for emergency back up.keep looking. I got one of these at our local REI store and took it on a 3 day trip to the Grand Canyon. :( I have since returned it in hopes to find a good solar charger. It has to have DIRECT sun exposure.if even a tree twig is in front of the panel it will not charge up. While it states it takes a while to make a full charge.the solar panel is extremely weak and would not charge my iphone with 4 hours of sun. I was very disappointed, as I wanted to use my iphone to listen to music on the way up.
A friend had the same one and used it on camping and bike trips to charge a cell phone and an i-pod over the summer- had to get one for myself. Very easy to figure out and works great.
It seems to store the charge for a long time too. This is most frustrating. The device works flawlessly.
They put their own buggy, proprietary software on the phones which sees the Solio as an "UNAUTHORIZED CHARGER" and doesn't allow the device to power my phones. If I wasn't signed into a two-year agreement with them, I would switch providers ASAP.If you need a charger while you're hiking, camping or spending lots of time outdoors, the Solio is great. (Even though the hardware works).
Bought this charger for my two Motorola (mini-usb charging) phones. The issue I'm having is with my cell service provider - Verizon Wireless. If you need to use your phone while you're at it, heed my warning - avoid Verizon at all costs.
Pulls a full charge in 8-10 hours of Florida sunlight. Really no complaints about the Solio.
Then I tried to call, been on the phone over an hour. DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK. The only thing worse than this product is customer relations. This product does not charge anything. You will be disappointed.Solio H1000 Universal Hybrid Charger (Dark Grey) The product does not work period. I have emailed the company three times, and no one writes back.
