I just got this product a few days ago but here is what I can add to the other reviews: Does as advertised, easy to use, comes with all necessary connectors (great deal in fact because the same connectors sell separately for $18-$19). Word of warning because some people are really picky about this: the metal tilt arms are non-adjustable; not a problem for me but might be for other people. The panels are compact and make for easy storage (great for camping) I inspected my order when I received it and I did not notice any cracks on the panels and both are putting out a charge (have no idea what because I don't have that kind of equipment) Overall it seems to work well. For the price asked I don't think you'll find a better one. (also as a side note: Sunforce makes the Coleman model in addition to one of its own that looks exactly the same, the difference? The Coleman one has the same excellent quality with more wattage for less money :-D

I purchased the Coleman 36 Watt folding solar panel (manufactured by Sun Force) to take camping, planning on charging the battery for my pop up camper. My review is based on very limited use as it arrived twice from Amazon damaged due to inadequate shipping and product packing, after the second time I returned it for a refund. The fetchers that attracted me to this product was the folding in half for storage and travel, the adjustable stand to allow for maximum sun exposure and it included everything necessary to set up and start using. The not so good fetchers were the weight, at 30 pounds it is not the easiest to maneuver and set up. The included stand worked but is not the best design; it doesn't stay together well, takes a bit of work to adjust and is not made to move once set up. The first panel I received was damaged; the face of the panel was shattered in one of the corners, however before noticing this I had it fully assembled set up and charging my camper battery. Installation was easy with the quick connect accessories supplied. In about 30 minutes it was, I thought working fine. After setting in the sun I noticed the damage and then tested the panel with the included testing light and found that the damaged panel was not producing a current. After sending it back and receiving a new panel, it also was damaged during shipping. After receiving this product damaged twice I decided that it may not be the best panel to use for camping. If it couldn't make the shipping trip without damage I didn't think it would do any better on a camping trip with less protection. It looked like any minor impact on one of the corners was enough to shatter and crack the face of the panel. I'm sure I can find a lighter more durable panel to do the job.

Charging worked as well as I expected. Puts out about 65% of rated power even in bright sun. Fortunately knew enough about solar power to expect it. Stand is minimally functional. Needs extra support on any slope or especially uneven surface. Included cables nowhere near long enough to easily move panels to take advantage of movement of sun if there are any obstructions over between batteries and panels. Manual even more poorly written than most. All of that being said they perform adequately and will charge the two batteries in our motor home from dead to 80+% in about 12 hours. Seem to maintain charged batteries being used on daily basis.
