Vtoman FlashSpeed 1500 review: A hidden gem

The Vtoman Flashspeed 1500 is a surprisingly well-rounded portable power station with solid output power and a very attractive price.
The portable power station market is huge, and while many might be familiar with units by EcoFlow, Anker, Bluetti, and Jackery, we’ve been testing a surprisingly adequate product by underdog Vtoman. Specifically, we’ve spent some time with the brand’s FlashSpeed 1500, which boasts an immense 1548Wh capacity and seemingly endless 1500W output power.
The FlashSpeed 1500 has the familiar portable power station design: a rectangular box with rounded edges and two handles on each end for easier transportation. It has two ventilation grilles on either side, which often get annoyingly loud. Like most products in this category, you can find all 12 ports, recharge outlets, and a battery expansion port at the front, and that’s where you’d also find an LCD screen
Here is a breakdown of all the ports on this Vtoman station:
There’s also a jump-start function on this unit. We didn’t get to test it, but it’s a welcome addition that not all portable stations have.
On the back, you can find a lighting unit with five modes. While it feels a bit odd to have it placed there (most stations have it on the front side), the good news is the flashlight gets incredibly bright — kudos to Vtoman for that. Another extra we find handy is the storage box on top, which helps tuck away charging cables.
We also like the option for expansion. By adding the Vtoman 1548Wh Extra Battery, you can boost the FlashSpeed 1500 to a beastly 3048Wh capacity. To connect the two, you need to use a CP3500 cable.
With massive power comes serious weight, though, as we found out. The unit tips the scales at 41.5 lbs (18.8 kg), making it fairly uncomfortable for longer carry, despite its built-in handles. That said, it’s not significantly heavier than other 1500W+ units, so prepare for the extra weight if you’re after lots of power.
