Sure! I got one of these Zerolemon bad boys back in January of 2016, the previous version. It failed in December of 2017, but hey, the solar products have a 36-month warranty! They replaced it hassle-free (paid shipping and everything), and the replacement unit is the new version you see on the Amazon page there, with USB-C and QC3.0 and everything.
It's surprisingly heavy. Lithium batteries are lighter than other chemistries, but cram enough of 'em into a brick and it's still pretty hefty. Think backpack or glovebox, not pocket.
The solar function is better than I expected, but I came in with very low expectations. I haven't performed exhaustive measurements but it seems like the unit can replace about 1/20th of its charge per day of reasonable sun basking. Which is reasonable given how massive the battery is, and how small the panel is.
(Rule of thumb: It takes about a week for a pound of solar panels to produce as much power as you could've carried in a pound of batteries. This makes a lot of assumptions and you could easily find situations where half or double would be the case, but probably not a tenth or ten times.)
The light is pretty good. It only has two brightness levels, which are basically "Way more light than you probably need" and "still quite a lot of light". There's no moon-mode. (Plug in one of these old dinosaurs (remember 1997 when everyone was giving those things away?) if you need a more modest pool of light.) The pushbutton can be hard to find in the dark, but a bit of GITD nail polish fixes that right up.
Speaking of hard-to-find buttons, there's an "SOS" button on the side that I didn't see until quite recently. I honestly don't know if the previous version had it, it's that well hidden. If I had to make one real complaint about this thing, that'd be it! As above, paint it up. When activated, it flashes a (slow, about 4WPM) SOS pattern on the main LED panel. One of these days I'll turn that on and see how long it'll run on a full charge...
Charging works like you'd expect, with one caveat: It shuts the ports off pretty quickly if it doesn't see a load. Smaller devices (headphones, earpieces, small flashlights) might not present enough load to charge from this unless you put something bigger like a phone on the other port to keep it awake. This has never been a big problem for me, but it was confusing until I figured it out.
I don't have any QC-capable devices, nor anything that charges from USB-C, so I haven't had a chance to evaluate those functions. The QC port charges normal USB devices just fine, of course.
