All I can think of is some huge body builder carrying one of these around as a flashlight.

Get on it jackery and get these flaws corrected! I have $1,500 on "STANDBY"👍

You educate as you test, which is why you’re one of my favorite channels to watch.

This why I watch your channel! Your Tests cut through marketing on Solar Generators!

Thank you for demonstrating the boost solar panel simulation charger combos. I was scratching my head over that and now I see how that is done. COOL!!!

Genuinely really interested in jackery at the mo! And I’m so glad I found your channel, you sir. Are fabulous! Thankyou for your testing. Your videos are by far the best I’ve come across yet

This guy's intro needs to win a Grammy. Freaking the best. Super great review.

The one watt flashlight is the selling point!

Thank you Professor!! I just bought my second Jackery 1500. They are great and powerful units. Strong , reliable and very well made. Your review made all the difference before I made my purchases. Thanks again !!

I absolutely just LOVE having a 32 lb flashlight...its just AMAZING....This should be rather easy considering I'm 5 foot 2 in heels and 114 lbs.....THANKS JACKERY!!!!!!

I love fan noise. I just ordered a 1500 looking forward to hearing it

I love my Jackery 1000 but wish they would offer the choice of the other model they sell in Japan with a handle that fits down in the unit to take up less space & the display going dark after a few seconds

Manuel is going to be pissed that you have his manual. I think I need the 1500 & the 2000!!!

Yesterday we had a power out and my wife and I use fans while we sleep the 240 used less power then my 300 it's like my 1st gen 300 wastes power on the 2nd plug. I'd love to get this but I can't even afford a 1000 so not my back I guess to bad for me. Another great video professor hobo.

As usual a very awesome review @HOBOTECH!!

It seems to me that the Bluetti EB150 is a better value at $1,000 for 1,500wh of power. I realize the EB150 has a smaller inverter and is missing a couple of things that are on this new Jackery, but a 1,000 watt inverter paired with a 1,500wh battery is probably fine for most applications. Stated differently, I’m not sure an inverter that can drain the battery to zero in 60 minutes is all that useful. If you have loads in excess of 1,000 watts that are non-negotiable, the Bluetti AC200 with a bigger (lifepo4 !) battery seems like a better value at a slightly higher price and with many features that this new Jackery doesn’t have.

I just bought the jackery explorer and it arrived from Germany. Have spent testing it out in my campervan here in Ireland over the weekend. When lockdown ends I will give a good testing. Happy so far.

Great vid as always and looks like another home run for Jackery !

Nobody does it better than HOBOTECH

Great video as always That fan noise seems excessive. For me, if I ever want something that large, I would suck up the heavier weight of Lifepo4

Not even close to getting my dough. Keeping working Jackery. You’ll nail it.. eventually.

Pretty cool unit! I can't wait to get one! Also, phenomenal review! This is much more than anyone could expect from a review! Thanks!!

DOUBLE WOW! That fabulous 1-watt flashlight will come in SO handy.

awesome review Prof... disappointed in Jackery for not using LiFePO4 at this price range and already in 2021 :)

As always professor... Great review!!! I loved the inverter results. 👍🏻🤪 Good work Jackery. Just fix the fan noise. Or, we should tell "Manuel" to fix it. 🤔

Thanks for the review. I am eagerly awaiting the Explorer 2000 review.

15:08. Very GOOD. "You call always over panel, but you can't over voltage."

Received my 1500 4/20. The extra AC charger and 8mm adapter were not included. I emailed Jackery and the response came this morning that due to production both items will be supplied at the end of May.

Enjoying your channel, Professor. Learning a lot about these power units. I have a couple of now ancient Jackery 160 units, for the plane, they still charge a Mac at 80W. Full charge after a year in the drawer. Agree on the missing 12v outputs on this 1500 model, staying 'tuned'. I always jam the other earbud in and turn up the load test music.

This is one of the best reviews of anything I've ever seen

Loved the review, as always. You complained about the lack of CPAP applicable 5mm or 6mm DC outputs. However, one of the most widely used, the Resmed Airsense 10 uses the DC car plug for its official DC adapter. So really, no problem there. It's good to go to power CPAP.

Yay!!!! You still have your kitty - and in the video!!!

Figured these would sell out fast like the 2000, then surprised when they sold out fast. Doh! Will check back on Monday.

I'm going to wait just a little bit longer until a better one comes out at a better price. Or until I can afford the BLUETTI Portable Power Station AC200P 2000W.

Just ordered one, thanks to your update video. This was a GREAT, very in depth overview and test of the product, kuddos! Quick question: Can I use ANY brand solar input? (as long as it has the input cables are the proper type of course) Thanks for your time!

Thank you for all the helpful information. You help me pick up a Jackery 1000, for all my Camping needs. Thanks for the work you are doing again. Keep having fun

Love that light expression, LOL

This is a really good in-depth review -- I really liked that you got into the detailed electrical load and charging tests. Few KZfaq channels go this in-depth on electrical/battery product reviews. Great job!

Great show I just bought one of these I was really concerned that I made a good buy I bought 4 panels and the Box

U sir are outrageously astute Thanks for all you have taught us! See ya out there

I spoke with Manuel and indeed he lost his book. Thank you for finding it. He will email you shortly if you could kindly return his book. I fear he may be licking the 12v circuits so it would be greatly appreciated if you could send the manual back so he doesn't harm himself. Thank you. Great channel by the way.

Looks like the Jackery 300 still the king of 12-volt amp output.

The best thing about this new Jackery seems to be the NOCO ads that keep playing before and during. I have a NOCO and think it's great. (Thanks Chrome.) I have a Jackery 240 and think it's great. (Thanks Tom.)

Here you mentioned 800 cycle to 80% capacity, but the manual says 500. Great review all around!

You do a good show ! Keep up the good work.

I just recently got one and the bag has been upgraded its a rugged case also it does have the two adapters for the panels and it's the thicker pin so you don't need a adapter. But it doesn't have the smaller adapter (7909 to 8020)

Thanks Hobo Great Review! 👍🏻

Yay! KZfaq is starting to recomend your videos in my home feed and putting your videos into autoplay. Happy days!

(straight face) “This one-watt flashlight.” 👏👏👏

Just ordered a 1000, no solar panels and was thinking about adding the 1500 with solar panels. But, your dislikes is causing me to hold off. I may get another AC adapter for the 1000 and shorten the recharge duration. I'm only using it here in Florida to get through hurricane outages to supplement my gas generator.

You are my go to for reviews...you serve it up straight...well done

Nice! I could take my Vitamix and induction burner on Glamping trips in my little van 💕 Kind of big though…

Why oh why doesn’t Jackery listen to the Master HOBOTECH ? They add some good stuff and take others away !

I had a problem with 500W Jackery power bank went abruptly dead from appearing fully charged. I was using a 100W Harbor Freight Solar Panels kit with a home built adapter. It would put about 35W into the Jackery and I'd get a False Reading of 99-100% charge, and then the unit would abruptly fail. Since I live not too far from Jackery's main office in Fremont, CA I hand-delivered my unit back to them. I ended up buying one of their proprietary 100 watt solar panel "Books," it delivered more like 70% under hazy conditions. I have the Power Bank Charging on 120VAC at the time of this writing.

Oh man! How I wish someone did a giveaway of this combo pack with panels. I'd sign up instantly and cross my fingers. Been waiting for something like this for years.

7:41. DAM, that's a BEAST statement right there. Who the f' knows that besides a Doc like HOBOTECH.

Hi Professor Hobo!

ONE STEP FORWARD AND TWO STEPS BACK

Another great review. I have the 240, 300 and the 1500. The 240 and 300 have really surprised me, the 1500, not so much. My main use is 12v and USB. I use them to power my refrigerators and charge batteries, while on off road adventures. Granted, I bought the 1500 at the start of summer, so it's only been used when it is hot during the day and warm at night. Based off of your capacity test, the 12v should have a bit more than 4x the capacity of the 300. I find that is not the case and that it is lower than that. My guess, it's because of that damn fan!!! Even just using the 12v outlet, if it is over 80 degrees, that thing is screaming! I've also noticed that when it is hot, and you are doing pass through charging, it will start to limit the input watts. The 300 or 240 just don't care, until they get too hot and stop charging lol. I am sure those fans will protect the batteries better and extend the life of them. I just can't help but to think that the fan profiles are a bit too aggressive and consume more energy than they really need to. That being said, I'm still glad that I bought it. I'm hoping that now that it's cooling down, I'll start to see better results with it.

OH! Not only a flashlight, but a cat entertainment! I'm sold! ;-)

Dude they were sold out at 10:04 a.m. I had it in my cart put all my credit card info in pushed pay already sold out. BTW I love the lazy Susan cameo. Instead I got the jackery 1000 with two solar sagas for $1399. goodbye stimulus check!

I love the size, capacity, faster charging & inverter of this unit, but it’s the battery cycles that turn me off with most all of these units. I think I’m crazy because last week I bought a battle-born 100 amp hr battery and I’m making my own unit, unfortunately it will be overly large, heavy & could be more expensive than this Jackery but all individual parts will be replaceable if one component fails. I always do things the hard way!

i'vew watched about 4 videos concerning reviews of Jackery and Bluetti (one of them was yours!) ....Jackery has a better price point, unsure about Bluetti beyond the battery material. Great reviews!

Thanks a massive power bank. Jackery is stepping up the game with this latest launch.

One of my main intended uses is for refrigerators and freezers. Once cold, they should be moderate power users, but when the compressor kicks in, the voltage/power spikes briefly. Can you test these "solar generators" in that use case? Duration, two at the same time while solar charging at the same time....

Great review! Thanks!

Thank you for your review. I' m from Germany and I'm very interesting in those technicals things. Jackery is now in Europe (so in Germany). The new Jackery 300-in my mind a good Jackery- (2000, 1500) is/are not available, only 240, 500 and 1000. I've bought a Jackery 1000 and one Solarpanel 100. The Solarpanel is great, the Jackery is defect. But I must say, that the service from Jackery is very! interesting to solve my problem - nice. USA - Germany is a long way (sorry, my english is'nt very good). Thank you and greetings from Uta

(I'm sure glad you said it though, I'm just wondering how far it's going to go without a fan...) (I'm over here thinking it's broken; I sure as heck didn't try nothing, to make it go-- heck no. Hot days haven't stayed long enough for me to care, yet.)

Sometimes I just open these videos to watch the intros because I love the finger guns 😂

As always, I learned, I laughed. Why, oh why, is it always 2 steps forward and one step "back" (the things you pointed out)?! Jackery, you're killing me, and not the humorous kind of killing me. Every time Hobotech does a review, I think to myself, this is gonna be the ONE. The one Jackery I'm going to whip out the credit card for, even though on SoSec it could take me the rest of my life (slight exaggeration) to pay off. But every time, you pull a head-slapper (see Tom's "what I don't like about this Jackery," starting at 24:12). Jackery, I really really want to buy a powerful "SoGen" from you, but you've got to make it worth my considerable pain. Thank you very much, Tom, for another awesome review. Have a great day! Hugs and kissies for Odin and Thor! ODIN !!!!!

I'd love to mess with one of these for a few days...

Excellent review as always, but one thing you said confused me. You said that Jackery did not put on 12 volt 5.5mm or 6mm outputs like they did on almost all their other power stations. I have the Jackery Explorer 1000, 300 and 240 and none of them have a 5.5mm or 6mm 12 volt output. Why are you saying most have them?

Word to your motherboard. LOL. Great review too!

A good day to watch the Professor

Do you know of anyone making a MC4 to the “new” 8mm plug that the 1500/2000 explorers have so we can use non proprietary panels??

Wish they'd always include one unregulated 12V port. There's so much loss with both the regulated 12V and the inverter ports - if you have DC equipment that can run off voltages down to 11V, you can eke out about 10%-20% more run time.

Word to your motherboard 😁😁. Thanks for this review.

Love the honest and accurate review. Very nice job. I totally do not understand their position on that PD port. What are they thinking?

What they done with the newer panels compared to the older panels it's kind of like Christmas lights when one bulb goes out they all go out the new panels when one goes out the rest stay lit, by going out I'm referring to when a corner of the panel goes into shade, or even a lesser amount of light.

I just found your KZfaq channel and have to tell you do a great job I have already bought two items that you did a review on the Jackery 1500 and rhe brouge rv 12 volt 1 10 refrigerator for camping thanks for your reviews

We can get 2000Wh and 2000Watt for an extra $100, if you know what I am talking about

13:35. Dam, sounds ground breaking!

My life is Not Complete unless i see my morning "DOUBLE FISTED BANG BANG Battery Capacity Test 😅😂😅😅

For about $1,375.00 I got a 2200 watt Honda generator and added the hutch mountain propane tri-fuel kit on it. So I can run gasoline, propane and even natural gas. but I've only using propane. Propane as of April 5th 2021 Propane is a $1.49 a gallon and gasoline is $2.55 for 87 octane. With propane I can run the generator, use it for heating, cooking and more. And at times I get free propane I can't beat that deal. Also I made a mobile rainproof generator box. I can run in the rain or light snow 24/7. But sometime I'm going to do some solar and probably a battery box like this. Because they keep getting better, bigger and the price keeps going down with more people in the market. I wouldn't buy one of these unless I plan to use it.

Thanks - You were very helpful on the features and the technology- Keep up the great work!

I've been having trouble with the PD port on my recently purchased 300...I'll leave it at that... (Another awesome review, I've learned so much from this channel! ⚡⚡⚡)

Thank you for your review. Blessings in your days.

Question. I recently seen a video discussing lithium compression. I understand that lithium has a an expanding and contracting process during charging and discharging. The discussion has suggested that through a process of limited compression of the batteries it will extend the life of them by like 40%. Could you possibly do some testing to see if this theory is true in a practical sense?

It is confirmed by Jackery that the 1500 is not optimized for one panel and are looking into it. With two panel 2x100 per port it is fine and charge 283w as we see. But they have to tweak the efficiency with one panel. Another user compared it to the jackery 1000 and it was better on the jackery 1000 with just one same solar saga panel which confirm the hobotech result. Jackery said they are looking into it.

The unit looks nice, but I prefer the Bluetti EB150, even if it can't handle the 2000+ load.

Can't wait when 1500 and 2000 are available in Canada. Hopefully next year.

Amazing inverter! Not so good outlets. Thank you Professor!

All you have to do is buy a 3 way 12 volt adapter to expand the 12 volt, same with usb, if your going for a 1500, it’s for the 120v

Just tell me which one to buy! Tell me which invertor, fridge, fan bundle.

I like Jackey's quality a lot... No complaints at all as they have great quality products. But the sound level on those fans is not acceptable, especially on the Explorer 1000. A good cooling system should sound like "Moving_Air", not like a plastique mechanical vibrating sound.

Who knew you could pack so many features into a 1 watt flashlight.

It would be cool if it was a pop out flashlight or at least a multi color disco light! 🔮 might as well make it fun.

if the "1500" is capable of 1800-2000, then what are we going to expect with the "2000" .. why was the 2000 not avail when they launched it last month? Jackery is king of soft release.

I would love this if it included a 30 amp outlet to plug my trailer directly like my Honda gas generator.
