It seems the failure rate of the Prime 20k is higher than the 737. My Prime died at 29 cycles. My 737 just crossed 140 cycles and is still kicking. More features doesn't always mean better I guess. Currently the 737 and the Prime 20k are the same $109 price tag on Amazon and I am about to pick up another 737 over the Prime. Plus, Anker sends out used refurb batteries under warranty. They reset the cycles but still give used cells. Yuck.

Nice power bank. I have one the same shape from Temu that didn't come with a charger. It's at 86 percent but need to order the USB charger cable. Nice power bank I'm going to order one. I got mine to mount to my electric bike to power the accessories that way my lights doesn't drain my bike motor. Thank you for the how to video. 👍

How's your power station been working out?? I had to buy a Jackery Explorer 300 this past winter since we had a power outage for a good day. It works great with my cpap machine. It was awful getting up and not having cpap machine the next day. My Resmed cpap pretty much drains my station in 7 hours. It's good to have back up. Thanks for doing these videos.

Hello I’ve had no issues with my 521 Anker however I do not use a cpap machine, it’s possible you needed a higher model, which larger capacity, I’ve recently purchased another Anker 521 as I’ve been so pleased with my first purchase. I am also charging mine using solar. Hope the new model works well for you

The steam mop works great in hard floors, however it’s not that good on carpet. It does remove first from carpet but it can help to sanitise the carpet if required. Personally I use this steam mop on hard floors and use a carpet cleaner for the carpets.

You could try turning the power on and make sure it’s in carpet mode so the brush roll is on, if it continues you may have a defective machine. I’ve had no issue with pick up on mine, the dust bin can get full quickly and the filter does need to be cleaned regularly

@powellj273 ай бұрын
Hello I think when they are shipped you need to start the Charing using the supplied usb c cable until it’s for some charge in it, then charge it from the base. I’ve found if the power bank is totally drained it does not charge from the docking station and you need to plug the cable in to start it off. However my fix for this is to only drain the power bank down to 1% then you know it will charge from the base fine.

From Anker's website regarding this charging stand and power bank: "Note: If your Anker Prime Power Bank is fully drained, charge it through the USB-C port until it reaches at least 1%. After that, you can use the magnetic base to wirelessly charge the power bank." This isn't a malfunction, but an intended result of the equipment design specifications.

Hello, thanks for watching. I’m still using mine and it’s great for upstairs as it’s light easy to use in upright mode and then switch to handheld for the stairs. Run time is not that good in boost, if you use boost a lot it will turn off due to over heating, but if you use it in short bursts it’s fine.

A good demo ! VAX actually recommend a water temperature of up to 40 C. When using the hand-held scrubber, I notice that sometimes the connection to the machine is loose, which prevents the spraying action, so I have to shove the connecting hose in again. One downside of the cleaning action is that the edges of carpets don't get cleaned, owing to the design of the rotating brushes. These have to be done separately using elbow grease and solution. In order to help the drying process, particularly after spot cleaning, I place a towel onto the damp carpet and step on it so that even more water is removed from the carpet.
