So I'll begin with the fact that I'm generally skeptical of solar powerbanks, there's more than a few articles and videos online about how practically useless they are given the relatively low efficiency of consumer small solar panels. However I thought I'd give this guy a chance and see if it would at least make a good emergency flashlight that happens to be able to charge a phone or two at the same time. Upon receiving it though, I was surprised by how light it was compared to the rated capacity. So let's actually put it through some tests to see if you are getting what you pay for.
