Hundreds of customers say the JF.EGWO 6000A is easy to use and works as advertised. This does not present much of an issue – it just means you need to occasionally stop pumping to check the pressure. We did notice that the pressure reading during inflation is a little high, and the device only registers the correct pressure when not actively pumping air. The display gives an accurate pressure reading, and the JF.EGWO inflates tires quickly.

We tested the air compressor mode as well, and this works well – but this device won’t compete with a high-quality tire inflator or one of the best portable air compressors on the market. It does not have overcharge protection, which means you can’t plug it in and leave it overnight. The JF.EGWO has a four- to six-hour charging time. It immediately registered 15.0 A on our carbon pile tester, indicating that the jump starter could be used to deliver charge to a completely dead battery. This device is very easy to use – simply attach the clamps and the JF.EGWO will start to deliver a current. The air compressor hose is thick, and an extension is included. We like the easy-to-use, large-sized clamps, though they have plastic coverings. The charging and jumping cables are of good quality, on par with those typically included with portable jump starters. It is still small and compact and fits nicely in the included hard shell case. The JF.EGWO 6000A has a square shape that is a bit different from the more common brick design. Due to the JF.EGWO’s impressive output, we recommend this portable jump starter if you need something especially powerful and budget is not a consideration.

If you need a jump starter with a lot of power, the JF.EGWO 6000A may be your best bet. Others don’t like that these jump starters (both the GBX55 and GBX155) lack a voltage gauge.

We didn’t encounter this problem during our testing, so it could be a quality control issue. The battery can drain out quickly when charging electronics, at least according to a few reviewers. Some complain that the GBX55 doesn’t provide enough boosts per charge. These batteries are easy to keep in your car for emergencies, and can also charge your electronics. Especially considering the compact size of NOCO jump starters, many feel these are life savers. Many are surprised to find that these can even (sometimes) juice up dead batteries.

The NOCO Boost X series jump starters get high praise for their reliability and strong starting power. NOCO Boost X Series: What Customers Are Saying If you’re trying to charge large vehicles with 10.0-liter engines, you’ll want to pick up the GBX155. If you are only planning to jump-start your own small to mid-size vehicle, the GBX55 is a good, relatively low-cost option. While both can charge gas and diesel engine batteries, the GBX155 has nearly four times the peak amperage, making it suitable for larger vehicles. The primary differences between the GBX55 and GBX155 are output power and cost. The X series can be used with both gasoline and diesel engines. Both feature a similar design, with USB-C output charging ports, heavy-duty alligator clamps, and a convenient override function (good for putting juice into a completely dead battery).

We tested a number of jump starters in the Boost X line, and two of our favorites are the GBX55 and the GBX155. The Boost X series stands out among other NOCO jump starters because of cold cranking capacity and quick charge times.
