All in all, this Ugreen power station is a neat package.
Portability
We’ll tackle the biggest selling point first.
But the 2200 includes an optional trolley.

Meanwhile, the extendable trolley handle means its easy to push around.
However, the PowerRoam does have a silent mode, which cuts the charge rate down to 550W.
to make it switch to silent mode, you’ll need to use the Ugreen app.
With a good 2048Wh capacity (that’s expandable if needed), high output for all your appliance needs, and fast solar charging up to 1200W… normally you’d be giving up portability for all that. But while heavy, the PowerRoam 2200 comes with a detachable wheel base and extendable trolley handle, making it super easy to move around. Add in a plethora of ports, decent app control, and you’ve got an almost perfect portable power station.The only thing missing is configurable charge rate (it’s a fixed 1800W, or 550W if you turn on Quiet mode), and a wireless Qi charger—neither of which are deal breakers.
It works over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and I had no issues connecting.
If you gotta charge quickly in the event of an emergency, AC charging is a great option.
But if you might, take advantage of the ample solar charging capabilities for free energy.

The two-port setup allows for more flexibility with mixing and matching different specced panels without losing efficiency.
Ensure that your panels are still within spec if connecting multiples.
It’s little design touches like this that I really appreciate.

With 1200W of panels connected and in full sun, you’re more likely to get around 800W total.
That would still be enough to charge the unit in under half a day.
I also tried an air fryer, hot plate, grill, vacuum cleaner, and space heater.

Think of it as a bonus emergency feature rather than a full-on camping light.
This is where a UPS comes in.
Should You Buy the Ugreen PowerRoam 2200?

The only thing missing is a configurable charge rate and a Qi wireless charger.
Given the otherwise outstanding portability and specs, I can forgive those.
