[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Convenient to stow in the trunk of my car for emergencies, especially here in Iowa during our harsher winter months. Nice compact size. A little heavy to pick up and carry--(but that's what the hubby's for!)😁🫡

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The VECTOR VECJ8 800 Amp Jump Starter is great for unexpected dead car batteries and it delivers. This jump starter is easy to use with simple controls. It provides enough power to start most cars and comes with USB charging ports when you have no where to charge your devices. It also has a built-in LED light that is very helpful when you are jumping your car at night. This is a great little jump starter for your car.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The portable jump starter fits a lot of features into a compact and convenient package. Having the option to charge in a short time along with an LED light for safety and outlets charge phones or other devices makes it a very useful item to keep in the trunk of my car. Whether it’s my car or someone else’s that needs a jump, I appreciate being able to do it quickly, safely, and immediately. The light and outlets are also great for camping or other outdoor activities where such options come in handy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While we haven’t yet had the real life need to jump a car, we did take this on a recent 14 hour road trip to Arkansas for extra peace of mind. My husband was impressed with the functionality and portability of this unit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing gives me peace of mind. Having one of these handy has been amazing. I loved this so much that my mom is getting one. Just knowing she wouldn't be stranded anywhere is a great relief. My fiance also feels the same when it comes to me! Easy to charge, easy to use, probable and convenient. There are lights on it, when you are stuck at night!. Also it clean up so nice and just wraps into itself. Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit is very compact and full of features. Out of the box, it takes 24 hours for the initial charge, but then just a few hours after that for each cycle charge. The jump start cables are very heavy duty and they help get you out of a pinch if your battery is dead. My battery was totally dead, so it took a few tries from the unit to get it started. On the back, there is a handy LED light that is very bright that will light up a big area if you are jump starting in the dark! The USB-A and USB-C ports are super handy to have to charge electronics and power devices. The charging rate is very fast. On the front of the display, you have lights to show you the amount of charge. One light area shines to the next on each battery level, so it's a little bit hard to read the battery level. LED or digital would have been much easier to decipher. All in all this unit is a compact, ruggedly made unit. I look forward to using it for years to come.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is portable enough that you can leave it in your car for emergencies. It’s safe & reliable. I have hooked up my phone to charge it & hooked it to the car to jump it. I let my car sit for an entire year & it was able to get the car radio & lights going but unfortunately my car had other issues. This is a great product!
Amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Vector VECJ8 800 Amp Jump Starter is such a cool product! It is perfect for on-the-go! If you're out and about and your car dies, boom, you can jump start it on the spot. It is super light and easily portable. Also, as an added bonus, the USB ports are great for blackouts or if you need a battery to charge products and don't have access to an outlet. This Amp acts like a really big battery. Additionally, it has a very bright light that can be used if you need to use it at night or in the dark. It's one of those things you think about until you need it, so it's best to buy before you need it. Perfect gift for a dad sending his kid away to college!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tested the Vector VECJ8 800 Amp Jump Starter, and it’s quickly become a must-have in my car emergency kit. It’s compact but surprisingly powerful—I was able to jump-start my car in seconds without needing another vehicle, which is a total game changer. The instructions were straightforward, and I felt confident using it even though I’m not super car-savvy. I also love that it has USB ports, so I can charge my phone on the go if needed. Whether you’re dealing with a dead battery or just want peace of mind on road trips, this jump starter is a lifesaver. Highly recommend for every car owner!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been a heaven sent, it arrived perfect timing! About a week after receiving this my car battery went bad. I was able to bring this with me to jump my battery off when I needed to run some errands and head to doctor appts. I charged it up for awhile and grabbed it on the go. Simple to use and light weight. This is practical for anyone BUT excludes Tesla and vehicles with lithium batteries. I highly recommend keeping this bad boy with you at all times. You never know and you will need it when you least expect it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product to have. My car decided that it doesn't want to turn on some days because of the cold and the fact that I neglected to turn it on for a while. It works well and is easy to use. Good to carry with me whenever I decide to go somewhere. Would recommend definitely to those needing a jump.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little powerhouse will come on all of our long road trips and camping adventures from now on. I appreciate the compact design. The usb and usb-c ports are a very handy feature. This ensures that our devices can be charged in an emergency situation. The 800 volt should be perfect for our Suburban and our GMC Sierra. My only complaint is that the charging cord should have a compartment on the unit so that I does not get lost.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free in exchange for my honest review. I got this product in the mail and immediately opened it up and read the instructions. Very easy to follow instructions. You have to charge it immediately and then if not used recharge every 30 days to keep it in optimum condition. According to the instructions it really is only good for up to a six cylinder car or truck engine. So not for bigger engines. I haven't had the chance to use it on a car yet but I did test the light and it is a very bright light to use if you have to work in the dark. I was also able to test the USB charging and it works great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I got it, I pulled it out of the box. It had that fresh, brand-new electronic/plastic smell. I read the instructions, which made everything super easy to understand. Make sure to charge it first—and recharge it every month to keep it ready for when you really need it. You can also use it to charge other devices with its USB-C and USB-A ports. Plus, it has a powerful LED light in case you need to use it at night. I haven’t had to jump-start my car yet since I just got a new battery, and I don’t want to risk messing it up. But I hope it works great when the time comes!
