One of the few available true solar generators on the market. It's so easy to use, just set it in the sun and open the solar panel, it immediately starts charging, no buttons to push or setting to manipulate. In fact, everything about the Browey C600 is simple and easy. There are only 3 buttons on the device, one turns on the AC inverter, one turns on the DC power and the third lights up the display to check the charge level when neither AC nor DC are powered on. I like that there are covers for all of the ports, and the unique "briefcase" or "handbag" form factor. I worried about setting the Browey in the sun for several hours but found that although the solar panel gets very hot the inside of the power station does not seem to overheat. My guess is that there is some sort of insulation behind the solar panel that keeps the sun's heat from getting to the battery and other internal parts. I don't know this for a fact, just a suspicion. The typical safety and protection systems are in place and those system don't seem to be too aggressive but are fast to act when needed.When using the different ports everything works as expected, with the one exception being the USB-C power delivery port. This port seems to be limited to very specific charging profiles, which are listed in the user's guide, if your device doesn't not fully support one of these charging profiles it may not charge at its maximum charging speed. The USB-C PD port is rated at 65 watts, and it delivered that wattage when charging one of my other power stations, however when charging my phone the USB-C PD port only delivered a maximum of 18 watts, even though my phone can charge at a up to 33 watts.In my opinion, the only negatives are the weight the charging speed and maybe the USB-C PD port limitations. I don't think I've hit the max charging wattage, but that number seems to be around 130 watts if both the built in and external solar panels are used at the same time. The built in solar panel is rated at 30 watts and up to 135 watts of external solar can be added as well, so there is a theoretical 165-watt max charging rate, but there seems to be a hard top limit on charging input power. One really nice positive is that there doesn't seem to be any power on time limits, both the AC and DC power will stay on until the battery is discharged and the over-discharge protection kicks in, this is a great feature for powering low energy usage devices or for powering devices that use power intermittently. Finally, in the world of power stations, The Browey PN-C600 sits at about $.78 per watt, which is a little on the high side for power stations. In my opinion, the Browey PN-C600 is a unique and special power station that easily justifies its current selling price.
