Clicking it will load said video into Google Vids and allow it to be trimmed, enriched with media content like music,...

I tested this portable power station from Vtoman – and it’s a serious on-the-go powerhouse
4:01 pm |

Author: admin | Category: Computers Gadgets Pro | Comments: Off

The Vtoman FlashSpeed Pro 3600 is hefty. There is no way around that. This is not a power station that you'll want to be toting around, though it is technically still portable.

See, unlike many of the best portable power station units I've reviewed, the Pro 3600 is more designed for long-term backup or for use with enormous power demands, not just to charge your smartphone (though it could).

So, for that reason, this unit is hefty in both size and specs, yet it is still something that can be used in real-world applications with ease.

VTOMAN FlashSpeed Pro 3600: Pricing & Availability

The Vtoman FlashSpeed Pro 3600 starts around $1499 right now, on sale from $2,299. They do offer bundles at the point of purchase that include solar panels that can stretch up to $2,700, too, all with a two-year warranty.

Also worth mentioning is that the unreleased battery expansion is expected sometime in 2025. Outside of that, the other pieces are available.

VTOMAN FlashSpeed Pro 3600: Unboxing & first impressions

The FlashSpeed Pro 3600 Portable Power Station is a fluorescent yellow and black power station that made me sigh when I picked it up; it was so heavy. Keep in mind, I pick up and move power stations, chairs, desks, and more. This one shocked me.

Thankfully, this unit has wheels and a handle with two height settings to accommodate those with varying heights and those who can't quite reach the same physical height.

From the first moment I turned this unit on, I loved the screen. The readout is excellent; it's easy to understand, shows all the information I want, and feels premium in quality.

Taking another pass, I noticed the lightbar that can shine white or even red light. I saw a small storage bay in the back of the unit, perhaps for the charging cable, and I noticed that the port layout is super helpful.

Specs

Continuous Output: 3,600 W AC (6,000 W surge)
Outputs: 4× AC, 2× 100 W USB‑C, 2× DC, 4× USB‑A, 2× Cigarette port
Features: UPS (switch‑over <20 ms), LCD screen, wheels, IP65-rated shell
Dimensions / Weight: 378×418×581 mm / 38 kg

The whole unit feels like a hefty suitcase. I wish that suitcases or luggage in general rolled as easily as this machine does. I'd even be happy if shopping carts rolled as smoothly as this setup does. Moving on, the ports are covered with a flap, enhancing their water resistance. And the entire case around the power station feels rugged and ready to take anywhere. The wheels I mentioned briefly above are not easily damaged. They are large with a decent grip, and super easy to maneuver the power station with.

The ports are organized and easily accessible, and clearly labeled. All things that make using a power station super helpful. If you are in an emergency and need power quickly, the last thing you want to have to do is slow down to try to figure out where ports are, which are which, and how to turn your power supply on. It's easy to know what is what, and with the integrated light bar, you can light up your scenario to make getting things plugged in and backed up even easier.

VTOMAN FlashSpeed Pro 3600: In use

I've used a lot of power stations, and while I don't usually note or have the recharge time stand out to me, in the VTOMAN FlashSpeed Pro 3600's case, it stands out as one of the most significant benefits to this unit. Now, rather than feeling like you need to have this always charged, if you know a storm is coming, you have time to recharge it quickly, whether from zero to full or from partial charge to full charge.

Additionally, you are more likely to use this power station for portable power where there isn't shore power or a grid power system. In that case, you can plan to go, quickly plug this in, get everything else ready and squared away, and only two hours later (zero to full), you can have a fully charged power station prepared to tackle your construction project, off-grid camping, or whatever else you may be powering.

I don't currently have this power station plugged into my house, but I have had it power my garage while working on projects, running saws, air compressors, shop vacs, and battery chargers. I've also had this recharge my EGO Electric mower, my Eufy E18 Robot Mower, my Lectric XPedition2 E-Bike, and more, to see if it can - and it did without any issue.

If you live on some land and are looking for more ways to recharge, rather than using the grid, you could also add a solar panel to recharge using the sun, which also recharges incredibly fast.

The unit also boasts Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), and for good reason. If you have networking gear, computers, or other devices, you don't want to have any downtime in a power outage, the UPS will flip over before your devices even realize that the grid lost power.

Overall, this is a great power station. It is pretty heavy, so the wheels are essential for moving it around. However, I suggest only relocating it when necessary. It's best to place it in a location where you'll use it frequently and leave it there for a while.

VTOMAN FlashSpeed Pro 3600: Final verdict

The FlashSpeed Pro 3600 is a power station for the (semi) portable pros. This is a great hub to place and use as an added power source wherever you may need it, whether that is a job site, an off-grid setup, or a backup unit. It's got incredible speeds, high capacity, a fantastic port layout, a built-in light bar, and wheels to help move it around.

If you're in the market for a power station, especially one with a fast recharge and multiple ports, this power station is a great one to consider. IF you're wanting something ultra portable, or if you don't need 3000Wh capacity, though, this may be too much of a unit for your use case.

Weekly poll: are you getting one of the new Pixel 10 models and which one?

Author: admin | Category: Mobile phones news | Comments: Off

The Pixel 10 announcement didn’t go as we had expected – we thought that Google would regale us with details on how the new Tensor G5 is much more powerful and more efficient than previous chips. Instead we got “AI this, AI that”. The new Pixelsnap accessories ushering in proper support for Qi 2’s magnetic profile was long overdue, if you ask us, and a worthwhile upgrade. Stable prices were a welcome bit of news too. The new Pixelsnap magnetic accessories The vanilla Google Pixel 10 finally has a telephoto camera – with 5x zoom no less (eat your heart out, Galaxy S25). It’s...
