I tried a Solio first, but was very disappointed when I realised the charging tips are very limited, and I would have had to buy a new one to charge my i-Pod. This charger has a fantastic array of charging tips included in the price, and is so easy to use. I recommend anyone to get one, though it's a bit less useful in a British winter - hanging it constantly in a south-facing window is not enough to charge all the gadgets we use.

I deliberated for weeks as to whether to purchase one of these little gadgets or not - having read several really bad reviews of other makes of solar powered chargers. Then I decided to throw caution to the wind and painfully parted company with my precious pennies.
I have not been dissappointed. I love the thing - it does everything it is supposed to and better! It looks good and sturdy (I'll get back to you on that one in the autumn...) and even stylish and I will not be embarrassed to be seen out with it. The posh little carry case is handy for keeping all the bits together on the move but my favourite part - is the solar panelling! I feel so green!!!!
Noting it did not have a tip for my Sony MP3- I panicked briefly then realised I could incorporate the USB cable and it works a treat!! It's so simple to use and there's a sense of ecosatisfaction -using free and sustainable sunshine (it even works with cloud!) to power my 'essentials'!
I look forward to a summer of travelling about and festivals- without that worry of being out of contact with my adolescent offspring.
(Mmm.... was this a wise move, I wonder....? Did I think this one through...?)

Q: can this be used to charge a small laptop's battery? if not, are any of these small rechargers suitable? thanks.
A: The Powermonkey is unfortunately unable to power a laptop, but you may be interested in the Solar Gorilla which is great for charging notebooks, laptops and other larger devices. Jo.

Q: What is the difference between the Powermonkey eXplore Portable Solar Charger at £58.71 and the Solarmonkey Solar Charger at £34.25?
A: The Powermonkey Explorer has a bigger solar panel resulting in a faster charge; it also has a larger battery capacity meaning that more charge can be stored. The slave on the Powermonkey also has a display allowing you to see the level of charge stored.
