CONCLUSION

    The R600 is the 3rd smallest portable power station I've received in the lab/office and well, it can't be really compared with the larger models, not just in terms of battery capacity but also power output. So, if you're looking for a power station capable of powering devices surpassing 300-400W for a significant amount of time the R600 model is simply not capable of that. On the other hand, the R600 is a great alternative to regular power banks since it easily surpasses most not only in battery capacity and power output but also available connectors (AC & DC support). On top of these you can also use a small solar panel to recharge the R600 when outdoors so if size (and occasional noise) is of no concern, it's the perfect replacement for large power banks. As for noise levels my sample was inaudible most of the time during testing, both while charging and while giving power to other devices. I only recorded noise a couple of times when things were getting very hot but again, for very short periods of time. I am pointing this out because Allpowers has made changes to the R600 lately and the speed profile of the internal fan seems to be among those changes.

    As of now the R600 portable power station by Allpowers retails for USD219.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 229.24Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) so it’s priced well. Overall, the R600 by Allpowers may not be among the highest capacity and output portable power stations out there but if you’re looking for a great power bank alternative it more than fits the bill and for that it gets the Golden Award.
