Customer Reviews

Coleman doesn't warranty this product!!!!
In my opinion, this is not a well made product. It is not guaranteed by Coleman even though it carries the Coleman brand. Mine broke during it's initial use and when I wrote to Coleman, they told me to contact the company in Canada that makes the product. They replied that they would not replace the unit.

Good price and works great
I've used this charger several times, always outdoors and always when it rained hard. I use it to keep charged a deep cycle battery powering my pop up trailer while camping. It really works to keep the battery charged--it seems to stay charged much longer with this attached. Also, it seems impervious to rain and even has the charge light on when it's raining, which I assume means it is working even when cloudy and in the rain. I'd recommend this highly. I looked around and this is a very good price for a solar charger of this wattage.

Description is deceptive - device is not for outdoor use.
I purchased this device to top up the battery on my utility trailer. My intention was to permanently mount it to the roof.

The ad copy clearly states "Weatherproof / Water resistant" but the instructions state that it is not suitable for outdoor use. I am returning it.

Please note, my 1 star rating is for the deceptive ad, not the device itself. It may work just fine on a dashboard or back window of a car - I did not test it at all.
