No HoboTech discount. No Purchase. HoboTech is the only crazy professor I trust ! And he is the only reason I would buy this unit. Jackery needs to show him love.

This guy is the best. He explains everything in a way everyone can understand and answers all your questions. Great job Hobotech!

If only there's a power station with the same specs but better.... oh, the ECOFLOW DELTA MAX!

I lasted 8 minutes on the Jackery Day video then came here for the real information.

I have used my Jackery 500 as a UPS. It worked fine during a power outage.

As a layperson, years ago I started off with a lead cell battery, an inverter and a plug-in battery charger, then moved on to small solar generators, with a Jackery 160 & 240 (they both still work great) and one of their portable solar panels. I really didn't like the solar panel being proprietary without an adapter and not weatherproof, but I do like a grab and go type generator (I have a dual fuel inverter generator also, since I live in a climate that, depending on the season, doesn't get a lot of sun, as a backup). I've since moved on to a couple of much larger Eco Flows (I like the parallel feature and I have a portable solar panel for these) and a larger Bluette with lifepo4 (2500 life cycles). I like that the Eco Flows and Bluette have MC4 connectors to use with my hard solar panels. I watch Will's channel too and this year, with the knowledge I've gained, am putting together my first stationary solar system. Never thought I'd be doing this in my 70's! BTW, I gave the Jackery's to my son and daughter-in-law as a beginner kit.

In all honesty with the price of the Explorer 2000 Pro. I would rather get the Ecoflow Delta Max and use the change to add a 110W solar panel.

When I asked Jackery if I could get adaptors for the charging inputs on my Explorer 1500, (for use with my *own* solar panels) they sent me a *handful* without charge. THANK you, Jackery! Best product support. Period. Thanks for the review, Prof. Hobo!

I bought this model today and Jackery honored the discount code. Thank you Jackery!! Also subscribed to this channel! Great reviews!

Great Job!! I find it funny that Jackery still has the same issues with solar input connections. I did go to check out the price to see if I would have a reason to consider it over Ecoflow....and for me the answer is NO. I can get a New Delta Pro for $3240 or a Delta Max for $1890, and not have to do adapters for solar panels and added expandability and ton more power options. Thanks Prof.Hobo for helping keep us informed.

I bought one of these about 2 weeks ago, PROS----- It does charge fast off home outlet or solar power, it ran my stand up freezer by itself for over 24 hours, it will take solar from my own 200 watt outdoor panels after buying the adapters hobotech recommends, I can carry it around, I like the display that tells you how many watts of solar is coming in and how many watts of energy is going out and what percentage of battery you have left. I like that it has a pure sine inverter and ran whatever I hooked up to it smoothly. CONS- Like everyone is saying the 8020 plug in jacks for solar suck I had to buy( mc4 - 8mm 7909) to the (8020 adapters) to hook my solar panels more money and skinny little 14 gauge wires, I am lucky to get 65% of my rated solar capacity on a sunny day in central Arizona. And you can't leave the solar hooked up all night expecting it to just start sending watts through it in the morning you have to disconnect the solar and reconnect it, and sometimes it just randomly turns off the solar input during the day like today when I was at 95% battery with 800 watts of panel hooked up and getting 425 watts max it just stopped taking solar so I had to un plug the solar from the back and re hook it it and then it seems to be working fine again. Overall its a well built unit with some solar charging issues caused by jackery trying to force you to buy there over priced solar panels. I will get a bluetti or ecoflow next time.

Hi Professor! I bought one. It arrived yesterday. Thank you for the review. I’ve needed this for a while now. I was too cheap to get the 2000 when it was available so I didn’t want to miss out again. Will definitely follow your hack & links for solar panels. Always appreciate your hard work! Thank you

I bought it and LOVE it. Works AS SAID.

Truly how a product should be reviewed!! Thank you!!!

Nice unit but for $3,600 with 2 panels I'll stick with my Bluetti AC200max and 2 batteries that I got during their spring sale. For about $600 more I have 3 times the capacity, a better battery chemistry and a 2200 watt output. I am a little jealous that I don't have the SOS function though. LOL

Lithium ION batteries!? .... I'm out... Your competitors are going with Lifepo4 however you are keeping with old battery tech. What about Bluetti and it's 3500 cycles to 80%? Good to see it charge faster than 200 watts though, that's an improvement over the older Jackery power stations! Sorry you had to review this Hobotech!

Imagine being excited to launch a product that is literally years behind. *head shakes in disappointment*

I just bought it and should receive it in a couple of days. Two things made me buy it: less weight to carry around (20 lbs less than the competition!), and smaller size for the same power. I don't mind the "limited" number of charge cycles, because I don't intend to drain it fully and recharge it to 100% every single day for the next 3 years anyway!

I like the product. Jackery has been a quality product for me. Glad to see the upgrades and performance of the generator. Anytime a company makes improvements, it forces the industry to up its game. It’s a win for users of any solar generator.

I don't understand people complaining about battery chemistry. Sure you lose that 20% faster, but people are setting their ecoflows to never actually use that extra 20% anyway. It may as well not even exist. I get that their more combustible but none of us are thinking twice about storing a lithium ion battery in our pants pocket all day every day or 1000 little lithium ion devices scattered around our homes. It's like using a chinese made smart phone to complain about things not being made in the U.S.

If it is from Jackery expect it to be priced at the far end of the spectrum.

I went with a eb200 bluetti miller tech. It's the equivalent of the ac200p. I also got the bluetti pv350 panel. I thought I heard you say you would do a review of that panel. Did I miss it? Anyways it was you that led me to Bluetti over a Jackery and seeing your review on this latest product from Jackery assures me I made the right choice. This thing is a monster! I was getting 412 watts when I first used the panels on 2 days but since then only see 325ish on similar sunny days. Perhaps it was a calibration thing as the 400 plus watts have never been seen again. You're the best!

Thank you for another great review! You always provide the important information that can’t be found anywhere else. I just received the 2000 pro from jackery with the hobotech 10% discount.(230 thank yous!) I like everything about it. No power brick Folding handle 90 minute recharge (1500 watt input recharge wattage, not 1800 like the video said. Oops!) 42pounds Ups feature Pass through charging Doesn’t have touch screen Wired my panels with the adapter plug ,no problem I will never need 1000 charge cycles so I’m good with lithium ion batteries for weight reduction Your video pretty much sealed the deal. The discount surely did. Very happy Thanks again!

No competition for Bluetti with it’s 3000+ rechargeable cycles to 80%.

This guys reviews are brilliant shame there are no uk testers like this

I'm so glad to see that the 2000 has the flat top with handle that you can pull up. I've been wanting that on my Jackery 1500. Nice that Jackery is listening to its users.

You have my favourite portable power station/Sogen reviews. Never get rid of the double fisted battery capacity test. It makes me smile every time!

Hi Mr. Hobotech! I just purchased by 2000 Pro with (4) 200W panels and got $499 off with your code. Holy crap!!!! Also, I almost pee'd my pants at the 'disco alien' scene, LMAO!!!! This was the most lucrative youtube video I've ever seen... EVER! And it closed the deal for me vs. the Goal Zero option.

I was totally sold and just about to order, then you pointed out those stupid proprietary solar panel connectors and that was a deal killer!

Finally talked my husband into getting one. Love your humor. 😂 Got it on sale. Thanks for the great review!

Your lfpmasterrace mockery was hilarious! Thanks for answering the objections. Weight is often a factor for us gals. Great review!

I went with the Bluetti ac200 max

Going with the Big Blue 2500 for 1200 bucks after you said they are fixing that bug. Thanks for the update.

OMG!!! I loved this video! Cracking up the whole time. I am definitely watching this episode again. Thanks for what you do!

This by far, your best video…in 2020!

The oscillating heater really did it for me. I hope we can see more of that action again

I went with a refurbished Jackery 2000 pro over the Bluetti 200p, still $89 more than a brand new Bluetti. I'm a trucker and the extra weight on the lithium phosphate Bluetti is just too much for me. And I'm not running a lot of stuff. And that was my decision point.

Just purchased a PowerBen Plus. I've been looking for a portable power supply that had USB C PD but the battery size and the 12V outputs were just such a bonus I couldn't find anything that even came close for the money. Thank Prof. Hobo!! Now that I'm retired I may see you in Quartzite next winter as I avoid the Canadian winter.

March twelfth?!? Oopsies. 26:57 NBD Everything else was perfect. Thanks for staying up late to bring us a thorough and professional review.

I have always liked my Jakery 1000 but hate the big handle on top which makes it difficult to stack and store. I like the new folding handle. I don't really care if it has a built in AC charger. If an external brick burns up, it's easier to replace it or just swap it out than one that is built into the generator. I am not a musician so don't care about the noise. Excellent review, thanks. Correction, the power in California, at least in the north rarely goes out. Guess who spammed me while watching the review? Patriot. LOL

This is a great product for a power outage! Quick shipping, beautiful unit, easy to use Used for RV. Liked because it was RV ready. Westinghouse WGen3600DFc Portable Generator I love this little generator. So easy to use So glad we got this one.. it’s easy to set up Perfect design snd and power for large camper. Easy setup and using it for our 39 ft. Trailer!

HOBOTECH!!! You da Man🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for all the awsome information regarding the Solar/Battery 🌏 HOBOTECH!!!

Appreciate your honest testing and comments.

It still cracks me up to see a 4Patriots battery ad on your channel. 😂

How could they release a NEW product and it still be Lithium NMC?? LOL. Can we get some LifePO4 Batterie4s Jackery? This is 2022. Good review as always HoBo and nice to see you at the live event! Also, are you going to review the Anker 757 PowerHouse which got released this week soon? I just bought it a few minutes ago. I had the limited time $200.00 off coupon so I couldn't pass it up! Thanks again for all your hard work to make these things. Double fist to you Sir...Bam Bam!

I LOVE that this Jackery is a lowkey UPS! I've been looking for a UPS backup If only this offered more outlets...

I love your videos! I value your input! Your AWESOME!!! Thank you! 🙂

I want to give you 2 thumbs up! Excellent review

Nice unit, would be a welcome asset to camp,or while traveling

Just got back home first thing I did was watch this. Very interesting product, your review as usual is factual and filled with awesome information. As for the few pounds gained, being single myself and loving mac and cheese, HB helper etc., not exactly health food lol, I have put on a few myself. Wishing you a super week, God Bless.

This is actually a pretty sweet power station from Jackery, the only thing holding me back is the price tag. I can't justify the price that they are asking.

I already bought a jackery 500 last month and have no reason to watch this video, but I did for 30 minutes anyway, purely for the lolz. And I was not disappointed

Jackery is way behind Bluetti in technology.

Hilarious, I like how you do the alien dance & spaceship coming in. Enjoyed your review of the Jackery 2000 PRO.

I love how the ad before the video started to play was for the Bluetti AC300. 🤣 Watched the Jackery Day launch (with Star Lord himself Chris Pratt), and I was not impressed; $2,300 for what is essentially a AC200P, but with a 100W USB-C PD, and is about twenty pounds lighter than the Bluetti. Going to stick with the Bluetti which is cheaper and heavier, and use the money saved to get some heavier dumbbells to pump up my arm strength. 💪

As I was watching the review I’ve notice that the display doesn’t time out after 10 seconds anymore but you didn’t mention about it in the review.

glad I bought the Pecron last week with your code, this jackery launch was a bummer

At 21:50, The strobe was not a 'nightclub/disco' flashing, it was a SOS signal - three short/three long.

Lithium NMC is a good choice for the high capacity portable power stations. A 150lb person has to be able to carry it easy no 1000 cycles is still a lot.

I always appreciate your videos. Thanks.

7:58 "... to make sure it doesn't start smoking, doing drugs...". I spit out my coffee!

Sounds nice. Happy with my old one, easy to carry.

Picked my 2000 and 4x 200w panels on Prime Day for $1400 off. Super impressed with the build quality of both the panels and the charger. Built to last for sure.

That audio test is indicative of big problems if you're using this with ham radios. If it gives interference at audio frequencies the harmonics are likely to be much, much worse at radio frequencies. My bet is that this will be unusable on HF and possibly VHF/UHF. Try charging it on a GFCI outlet and see if it trips it.

12/10 video. Quality information. Shown tests. And an alien party 👽 quality stuff

Hey! Love the product reviews. I keep seeing other KZfaqrs charging up their solar generators with car dash DC and using "3rd Party" adapters. One even commented that hers almost caught fire. Clearly these cheap knockoffs are not designed to handle the wattage that the SGs require or CAN draw. Why risk many THOUSANDS of dollars by saving a few Lincoln's on a cheap adapter? Looking forward to more!

The Jackery 2000 Pro is lame in a world where products like the EcoFlow Delta Pro already exist.

You are a nerd! And I mean that with the utmost respect. The information you provide is very much appreciated! Be well my friend!

I wish Jackery would consider adding 12Vdc Anderson Power Pole output connectors on the future Jackery’s.

Awesome review. Too bad about the amp test noise. Thanks for sharing

I can't believe they're still not using LiFePo4 batteries. It's really the only downside. Besides the noisy inverter.

I'm a solgen addict - I have 29 of them (Please don't tell my wife). The odd connectors and plugs that I can not interchange or easily buy from Amazon and the low life cycle batteries are why I own ZERO Jackerys.

Over 2,000 credits for this unit is over priced, I can go to Tatooine and buy me a fast speeder from Jawas for that price.

jackery and ecoflow had a baby

I noticed that when you showed the sign wave on your meter that the very tops and bottoms of the sine wave were flat not rounded as they should be for a true pure sine wave. I do not know if this is a limitation of your sine wave meter or it is in fact accurate. If the meter is accurate then this is not a pure sine wave and that could be why you are getting a motorize sound when you did the speaker sound test. You might want to look into this closer.

Love the alien dance sequence. Great review keep em comn

Nice review, no competition for the Bluetti MAX

Looks like I’m still going for the AC200 MAX

Still no Lifepo4 battery LOL

Thanks for the review.

I have to agree with the professor in regards to the Jackery using the 8020 inputs. It's an outright stick up.

NO FRAKKING LiFePo4?!!!!! Jackery is dead to me. Jackery is basically GoalZero, trying to hold on to brand recognition in a space where the competitors have left them in the dust long ago. There are some stupid choices that show they are followers and not leaders. Two MPPTs? This is probably because they refuse to abandon the 7909 jack. People need to move towards XT60 and just provide an adapter. 12v10A output is ghetto. I like the 25A of my AC200P. Screen is basic, where is smartphone app? No bi-directional USB-C? Only 3 AC outlets? Nothing is bad but nothing makes this stand out. As far as I can tell AC200Max is better in every way. Cheaper by several 400$ or nearly 20% for a device that is 2 or 3 generations in, has an app, and is expandable. AC200Max just needs a UPS function.

It would have been nice to have an option to add an external battery (making it modular like everyone else)

The dancing alien was hilarious! hahaha

Jackets is behind in my opinion. Eco flow is where it’s at

Man, I thought for sure this would have the new Nuclear Diamond Battery technology. Bummer!

I love Jackery but it always seems like they are trying to play catchup with the competitors. Nice product just a couple of years behind everyone else unfortunately. I have a Yeti Goal Zero 1500X with the Battery Bank Expansion Modul and I absolutely love it! I can throw it in the car and charge it from the Car Charge kit from the car alternator or throw it back into battery bank mode and use it for the houses power supply with a click of a button ( I have 2 200ah Renogy Lead Acids Batteries hooked up to it for extended power).

Great reviews always 👍

Picked one up in Florida, had to return it when it came 34% charged but wouldn’t go higher after 8 hours. (The longest 8 hrs of my life) never again.

Looks like I would still be sticking to my Delta Max 2000. Which holds up in pretty much all aspects when compared to the 2000 PRO.

Gotta love Hobotech. As for Jackery and their alleged discount, just another classic example of what's wrong with this America. I'm not making a political statement. I'm making a statement about there is no truth in advertising, they can't even be honest about the roll out price. That pretty much is telling me all I needed to know. Much thanks for all your hard work on these video's and to your continued success!!!

it's 4:05 pm mountain time....time for a brew

Thanks for your tests :-) I love your conclusion. This product is nice - real nice. But nothing more in today's Market. I would have bought this one in 2020 instead of the Explorer 1000 because of the extended Solar Charge Capacity. Having the opportunity to charge this one up in Camping very quckly is a big step forward. But for this you pay the price of more weight. I hope Jackery puts this BMC also to the 1000 because this is for me the sweat spot for Camping Electricity - I don't need more energy when I'm moving. And to be honest - for a Blackout Backup the Jackeries are nice but a Blutet AC200, P or Max with modular Batteries is far better in all Criteria - Weight don't madder so much to me for a Home Backup Solution.

$2,299 solo or bundled with 6 panels $6,199 ouch

I sure hope that nu faincy jack in the boxery will run my dee walt combo cordless blow dryer, can opener, AC fridgerater. Got plans to visit a new trailer park and I love producks from Merica. Much ablidged Mr Professir for all the legwork.

You make fun of us in your video for wanting LFP but for me that is important. I understand that this Jackery is nice for it's lightweight, quality build, and having the adaptor built-in, but I am sticking to my guns, I want LiFePO4, lol!!

Very good review as always!

Great review Hobo

I need easy to use Solar power like the Jackery. Not real tech savvy but I love my 1000.
