I've for a long time been tempted to buy one of these, but I've only needed a jump starter twice in the past five years.

Low capacity and 850A peak current put this firmly in entry-level territory. Many similar options can be found at or below the "discount" price of this item. You might get something more capable for similar coin from Amazon, Gooloo, etc.
You're paying extra for the Qi charging on this one
Do you often charge your smartwatch on the side of a road?
I'm not saying it's a good/useful feature, it's just a feature that the others don't have.
I've got a Gooloo in my car for emergencies.

The "amp rating" on all of these jump starters is made up. Almost every cheap junk jump starter was able to jump start a cold, dead, 8L diesel engine in the RV.
Unless you're going to do your own quantitative analysis across the market, don't bother listening to what the box says and just buy something in your budget. There's very little difference between these rebranded AliExpress devices.
4wdsuperstore has 2 for $129. This one better or nah?
I'd get the twin pack yes
I have this one, bought it when it was $99 at Jaycar some months ago.
Works well, however had to take the lead pack back because it was DOA from the box. Battery works fine though.
I got this one on sale a few months ago too. I made sure to test it out at home before I was stuck on the side of the road.
Surely gooloo better deal
Can anyone suggest if this can inflate my airbed?
https://www.anacondastores.com/camping-hiking/sleeping/airbe…I just bought one of these today, first impressions are that the quality is pretty good
Can't speak to the longevity or if it can actually provide 1000CCA, but it got me out of trouble
Yes this is true but I've been using one (not this one from Jaycar) and its been a godsend.
I am limping on one and can kind of go about my daily life until I can get a replacement battery.
