At 11.7 kilos, the UGreen PowerRoam GS1200 is the lightest model - and solid overall. It's a pity that the power output stops at 1200 watts and there are only two sockets on board - fewer than its competitors.

The PowerRoam 1200 impresses with its consistently good performance, but cannot deliver more than 1,200 watts for short periods. Operation and handling of the compact power station are simple and convenient throughout.

The Ugreen Power-Roam GS1200 offers a higher capacity than its two competitors and can be charged with 484 watts via a solar module - so it charges solar with more power than the test winner. However, it only has a continuous output of 1.2 kilowatts - less than its competitors. And the memory is not expandable.

The UGREEN PowerRoam 1200 is a really good power station that demands little compromise from its user. It not only scores with a robust and attractive design, but also comes with a pleasingly high quality of workmanship. Only the lack of covers for the outlets spoils the picture a little and does not fit in with the outdoor approach...
