With a full charge, it powered my full-size refrigerator and freezer for a full 24 hours. This was with typical, real-life use of the fridge, opening and closing it throughout the day. Obviously, mileage may vary depending on how often an appliance is used, but the fact that it lasted a full day in a compact package like this really stood out. One feature I didn’t expect to love as much as I did was the built-in headlight on the front of the unit. It’s bright enough to illuminate a dark room or yard, and even includes a motion-sensing mode, so it turns on when you walk by. It’s the kind of thoughtful touch that makes a big difference in an emergency when you’re trying to find gear in the dark. I could also see it being super useful while camping, both as an ambient light source and for powering everything from phones to electric cooktops or fans. Although I didn’t test Dabbsson’s own solar panels, I did hook the unit up to a third-party set of panels I already own. In full Florida summer sunshine, it managed to gain about 15 percent per hour, which is pretty solid when it comes to solar charging. That said, your results will vary depending on the wattage of your panels and the strength of the sun in your area. Both can have a big impact on how quickly the battery recharges. - ![Dabbsson 2000L]() *Photo: Paul Rankin for BobVila.com* - ![Dabbsson 2000L fridge]() *Photo: Paul Rankin for BobVila.com* - ![Dabbsson 2000L light]() *Photo: Paul Rankin for BobVila.com* - ![Dabbsson 2000L light]() *Photo: Paul Rankin for BobVila.com* - ![Dabbsson 2000L]() *Photo: Paul Rankin for BobVila.com* - ![Dabbsson 2000L light]() *Photo: Paul Rankin for BobVila.com* [][][] I also tested the AC charging, and it went from empty to 100% in just over 90 minutes using a standard wall outlet and the 1500W AC input. That kind of recharge time is among the fastest I’ve seen in a power station of this size, and it's great for topping off the battery before a storm hits or for staying powered up in between uses. As for design, the [Dabbsson 2000L]() feels solid and well-built. It’s noticeably lighter and slimmer than other 2kWh stations I’ve used—it weighs just 41 pounds—and the two large handles make it easier to carry around. Still, it’s not something you’d want to haul too far without a cart. But for most people, it’s perfectly manageable. It’s compact enough to store easily and portable enough to bring to a campsite, tailgate, or jobsite without much hassle. Overall, this is a powerful, well-thought-out unit that feels like it was designed for real-world use—not just lab specs. Between the fast charge time, high capacity, versatile ports, and smart extras like the motion-sensing light, the Dabbsson 2000L feels like a reliable go-to whether you're planning for emergencies or just looking to power your gear off-grid. ## Where to Buy the Dabbsson 2000L Portable Power Station **Get the Dabbsson 2000L at:** - [**Amazon**]() - [**Dabbsson**]() ## Author Paul Rankin is a Scotland native.
