Everstart delivers a great jump start and more too
Let me say to start, I have never had experience with a jump-start unit personally. But getting acquainted with Everstart's Maxx Jump Starter and Power Station has been an eye opener. It is one of those tools that, after you have used it, you don't want to be without. I tested it in 4 ways to see if it lived up to claims, and nothing disappointed. I plugged into all of the USB ports and turned on the LED built in light, and charged three devices for 80 minutes. The displayed voltage capacity of the unit went from 12.9 to 12.6 volts, and still shows 4 bars of remaining power. Next, after fully recharging the unit, I plugged a fan that draws 1.35 amps at 120 volts ac and ran it on high for 15 minutes. The unit dropped one bar and .4 volts in capacity. After fully recharging again, I tried the compressor out. I really like the compressor, as you have total control over it's output. ATV tires are low pressure, and have to be guarded against over inflation. On the Everstart unit, you have digital control and precise setting ability. I set the unit to the maximum allowable tire pressure and let it run. It shuts off at the setting, so there is no overinflating possible. A follow-up check with the special low pressure tire gauge that comes with the ATV showed that the pressure was spot on. Impressive. Lastly, after again fully recharging, I did a jump start on my Ford F-100, after purposely draining the battery to the point the engine would not turn over. The Everstart jump function started the pick up immediately, and it had plenty of power to spare. I totally recommend this product. I will most likely have one in my tool arsenal from now on!

disappointed
i was extremely excited to receive this multifaceted inverter. I had a low pressure tire so i charged it up and begin to use it, not even 5 mins in it smelt burnt smelling and stopped working. i had high hopes for sure. maybe consider another inverter or don't use the tire air filler up.

    DO NOT BUY, not a Car jumper
    Horrible! The button to indicate the unit should jump the battery is lodged inside the unit and requires a "mighty" push for unit to give you the "beep" I'm not even sure what to do with this thing. It can charge a phone, at least I think, but it can't jump start my car, (I let it run down, just for this test) which is what I wanted. Will have to call AAA now... just terrible. Don't waste your money. Not well built, didn't work.

    Helpful!
    So it’s obviously very helpful but there are some pros and cons. Cons- doesn’t come with a cord to charge it and they want you to charge it before first use. The light doesn’t have much movement to it. Cords are pretty short. Pros- you can charge things on it and attach things on it like a tv or laptop while out and about. Obviously it can jumpstart a vehicle. It’s a decent size to just pop into the trunk!

    Jump box
    First off I say get you one if you have not got tons go and buy one now. I’m a single mom and have road side assistance but they can often take a while in rural areas. My kids left my switch on and ran my battery down thanks to the jump starter box I was able to get my car jumped off without calling a tow truck.

    Saves the day
    Recently my car battery died and unfortunately I could not get anyone to give me a jump. We're living in different times and it is harder to get people to help. So I knew I needed something besides just useless jumper cables because jumper cables only work if you have a running car to hook them up to. This is exactly what I needed. It fits perfectly into the compartment in the back of my SUV so it isn't sliding around everywhere. It has a flashlight attached to it, can jump start your car, air up your tires, has USB ports and even an actual plug. Making this perfect for emergencies. I charged it fully when it arrived and have kept it in my car since. I have used it to jump start 2 cars at work for co workers and aired up my tire once and also used it to air up my 4 wheeler and lawn mower tires. I make sure to periodically check the battery level so I can ensure it is always charged. The charge lasts a long time on it and everytime I've needed it, it has turned right on and did what it is supposed to. Definitely gives me peace of mind.

    Works great
    I love all the features of this Everstart Maxx Jump starter set. It is very powerful and helps in jump starting cars and trucks. I had to use this to jump start my friend’s Honda CRV and it worked great. I followed the instructions in the manual. It’s super easy to use once you get a hang of it. It can also be used to provide pressure to the tires if they get low. It has a powerful 500-watt inverter and high-output triple USB power ports electronic devices. Really useful when we have any emergencies.

    Just go get one, immediately!
    Listen, I can think up endless uses for this device, whether it be for the car or home. Please make sure you take heed to the directions and CHARGE THE DEVICE FULLY PRIOR TO USING. It charges, jumpstarts, has an air compressor, outlet, USB ports, a flashlight, and works on smaller vehicles and up to a V6 engine. Then, say your power goes out at home -- It can be like a mimi generator to charge devices, you can have light, or plug in an extension cord. It also comes with the air compressor adapter for smaller objects, like basketballs. Keep the instructions handy if you need to figure something out like an electrical conversion, but its fairly easy to use. Being a woman who is always on the road, and mostly at night, it's good to have a device like this handy so you don't have to wait hours for roadside assistance or have to depend on a complete stranger, which could end badly. The device isn't that heavy and has a nice, protective rubber exterior. It also does t take up much room in the trunk. You really can't go wrong with this device - it has so many necessary uses.

    Exactly what I needed
    This EverStart maxx Jump Starter has everything I need. Not only is it a jump starter, which can be used to jump start a car, truck, motorcycle, etc. it has an air compressor, and it’s a power supply source as well. This jump starter can be used on vehicles up to a V8 engine. I used it on my 6.8L Ford and it started with no issue. I also used the air compressor on a low tire on my car. This feature was easy to use, I connected it to my tire, hit the compressor power button, entered the amount of pressor that I needed, I hit the compressor button again and the unit started filling the tire. Not only does this inflate tires it come with a sports needle to inflate balls, etc. Out of all its features I’m going to use the AC Outlet and the USB ports the most. This unit has a maximum power draw of 500 watts. This has allowed me to power my laptop and my cell phone while being at the park. I also used the AC Outlet to power a couple of small fans while camping. Overall, this is a great unit and it's easy to use and understand.

    Multi use and portable!
    This unit is not too heavy or big to be cumbersome. It is easily moved around. It has a nice rubber handle that offers a good grip. It can provide 500 W AC power. This will power small items. I plugged in a shop light and it worked fine and was just as bright as if plugged into a regular outlet. The charging ports are conveniently located and worked as expected. It has a removeable flashlight on the side that will come in handy. It comes with a comprehensive users manual. It is stated that it does not come with an extension cord. You have to have your own to plug it up and charge it. We have a lot of extension cords on hand so that is no problem. I did not have a battery that needed to be jump started so I could not test that out. The tires on my car needed a little air and it took very little time to air all four of them up. It would have been quicker if the reading on the air compressor display worked. After setting the desired air pressure, it never changed from reading 0.0. It is supposed to show the current pressure of the item being inflated, but did not. Since it could not monitor the pressure of the tires being inflated and know when the pre-set pressure was reached, it could not automatically shut off. This had to be done with a manual tire pressure gauge. Unhooking and hooking the hose back up several times during inflating each tire was tedious.

    Great for inflating tires
    This review is for the EverStart Maxx Jump Starter with Air Compressor & Power Supply (J5CPDE). The Everstart MAXX Jump Starter / Power Station is a nice little unit to have on hand for some basic needs that may arise around the house or auto. This unit is suppose to be good for jump starting up a V8 engine with a peak battery amps of 1200. I didn't use this feature but if my car which is a 4 cylinder or my riding lawn mower need a jump start this should be able to do the job. But, I did use the air compressor which goes up to 120 psi to fill up the tires on my car and wheelbarrow all well below 120 psi. The hose nozzle does screw on easily and once attached the led screen does display what is your present tire pressure. For filling up tires enter in pressure you want hit button and to start. While the compressor is somewhat loud it did seem to do a good job of inflating all my tires to set pressure. The EverStart Maxx is a little on the heavy side weighing in at 17 pounds according to my bathroom scale. I did use this unit to charge up several cell phones via the usb ports. They did seem to take a while to charge but in a emergency situation this would be fine. I also attached a lamp to the ac power plug and let it go for several hours which seemed to have no impact on the charge on the Everstart Maxx but considering the lamp attached was 60 watt led light the wattage draw is only about 15 or 16. So when there is a loss of power and the need for a power supply for my lights the Everstart is good to go for hours. I wouldn't expect it to be able to power up anything that has a higher power draw for any length of time. A side note when running the ac power there is the sound of a internal fan cooling the unit down it isn't too loud but noticeable.

    Heavy Duty & Feature Rick
    This unit has a built in light, air compressor, 3-3v usb ports, which can power or charge a phone or other device, a a/c outlet, again for a lower wattage item such as a light, radio, or fan. These are in addition to, what i feel is the biggest draw, a 1200 W battery charger and jump starter. I tested this unit by completely draining the 12v battery on a very cold 1990 Ford F-150 with a 5.4 L engine. When the battery would not even support the lights to come on, I attached the charger/starter to the battery, set the unit in 'start' mode and the unit started the vehicle immediately! While i would NOT recommend discharging a battery in this manner, the test given shows that the unit has enough power to do what the Everstart Jump Starter/Charger says it will do and do it in fine order!

    Perfect for emergencies.
    I have used this for every task imaginable. Jumpstart of my 2006 Malibu Maxx was quick and easy. This was after leaving interior lights on all night. We have power outages a few times a year in the Pacific Northwest. I'm sure we'll be using this to power lights, microwave, TV, game console, etc.

    Works as advertised.
    Pros: Works as advertised, LED light, USB charger outlets, AC outlet; multipurpose Cons: Battery has only about 100 WH A 100 watt light was tested on a full charge at the 120V AC outlet. It lasted only about 1 hour, so a full charge on the battery is about 100 watt hours. This means that a load of 10 watts would last 10 hours, and a load of 500 watts (maximum load) would last 12 minutes. So, there is plenty of power available for recharging phones, and enough for starting a vehicle, but not much for running fans or anything requiring more than 100 WH, which equates to about 8 AH on the 12V output, but enough to kick start a car with a dead battery. The USB chargers come in handy if having an older vehicle with no USB charger installed. The trouble light comes in handy if needing to repair in the dark, and having no flashlight available. The inverter is useful for running radios or other AC operated devices that draw little power, where camping out. Don't expect to use any medical equipment such as a CPAP or like devices, since the power would only last about 1 hour. The instruction says it could take up to 48 hours to charge. From battery fully drained, the first charge test took under 24 hours to fully charge.

    Great buy for a top quality jump starter
    It just keeps going. I have used it to start friends trucks, many of my families vehicles and my own. It is a powerful unit. I used it to keep our cell phones charged while camping over the 3 day weekend too. We also used the compressor to fill a minivans tires that has been sitting in my yard for awhile so we could move it. It is solid and heavy but not too big, I keep it in my trunk and hardly notice it's there.

    I was skeptical
    When I received this portable generator, jump starter, auto battery charger, phone charger, pool toy inflator, and LED flashlight, I was more than a bit skeptical about it's ability to perform all of these functions. I was wrong. This device is amazing. I first tested it's ability to inflate a flat tire. I had bought portable inflators in the past and was always disappointed. They ran and ran off either internal battery or plugged in to AC current. This unit inflated a tire to 40 psi in under 2 minutes, and didn't use 25% of the internal battery. It's loud, but by golly it worked. The paperwork claims that it will inflate 3 tires on one charge. I didn't test that, but I have no doubts that it would. Ok. Next test. I had a dead battery in the garage that was still usable. I clamped on the included battery clamps, turned on the power, and had a full charge in 12 hours. FYI, that's good timing. And the unit did this on internal power-not plugged in to a power outlet to support an internal battery. It also has a jump starting feature. Amazing. Tested all 3 USB ports. All worked perfectly. Last test. I plugged a 60 watt table lamp into the power outlet. (picture attached) After 4 hours the lamp was still lit, and not even 25% of the internal battery had been expended. Oh, and the attached flashlight also lit for 5 hours, without using 25% of the internal battery. Bottom line is this. It does what it says it does, does it well, and doesn't let you down with a weak or useless internal battery. It is a well made, heavy duty, (and heavy), power center, and I love it. The only suggestion I have is that the battery charger could switch from an automotive 12 volt charge to a 6 volt charge for riding mowers.

    awesome!!!!
    This thing does everything, and it actually works, the air pump can actually inflate my huge truck tires, the outlet works for my cell phone and my ipad, i did not try anything larger, and it juat so happens i have a bad battery on my riding mower and i was able to use the jump starter right out the box, throw in the handy usb outlets and you've got a winner.

    Everything you need!
    Wow, where to begin? This is a great tool to keep in the garage or in the car. Having the ability to easily jump start your car, tractor, atv etc is enough, but this also comes with charging ports for usb devices, an AC outlet that can be used in a pinch, a light (great if stranded at night or in the shop) and a compressor! The display is digital and well thought-out. I especially like the compressor shutoff. It's not too heavy for the average person and I included a pic to show you size relative to a pint glass. If I had any concern, it's that a separate extension cord is needed to charge the unit and this cord is not included. It's unlikely that if you're stranded you would need this tool if you already had access to power, so it's not a big deal at all, but it's worth noting.

    Great Back Up Tool
    You have many options with this tool. From an air compressor for low tires to jump start capability and also a way to work with power tools without the need of long extension cords... I purposely let our car, which has a lot of parasitic drain run the battery down. Hooked up the unit, push start, and the engine whirred over like it should and off we went. Granted it was 50 degrees when I did this test but have little doubt it'll do the job in all types of weather.
