Love it!!
By Neeena
I had an H1000 by the same company in the past and loved it until I lost it
during a camping trip. The only problem was that the H1000 did not have an
adapter for my iPhone. I tried purchasing another H1000, but realized that
it had been substituted by this new Rocsta. The funky yellow color is awesome
(it will hopefully aid me from loosing this one, lol), it seems to charge a
bit more quickly then before (full day of sun charges it completely), and it
came with a tip for my iPhone 4 right in the box! Another cool thing is
that it likewise came with a light adapter tip. It’s a cool little flashlight
that comes in handy while poking around in the tent and such. All in all,
I’m very happy with this solar charger.

I would not buy this product after my experiences with it.
By outdoorsy
This quit working after owning it for 1 year, it seems the internal battery will not hold a charge. Very easy to lose the special usb adaptor it takes to enable it to charge . I would not commend this product, there is no way to replace the internal battery.

Piece of Junk.
By GrndLkNatv
I have purchased assorted of these appliances just to check out the current technology. I am in an engineer who is curious if this stuff genuinely works since I do not forget very well how well it didn’t work back in the time of Jimmy Carter as President. I have two chargers at this time, this Solio which when left in direct sunlight on a table outside wholly stopped working and the solar charger from XTG which works very well for a solar charger. Right now I have had 2 charging sessions on my phone with the Solio, it hardly charged up my phone when it was to the full or entire extent charged. Now you may push the button and not one thing lights up, but if I plug the piece of junk into the USB on my computer and press the button it flashes 5 times saying it’s totally charged. As soon as I unplug the USB, it’s altogether dead. Don’t buy this unless you like throwing cash down the drain. It’s a firstborn class piece of junk.
