We have used the kzfaq.infoUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

Thank you so much,you saved me from a head ache, this is way over my head, I’m computer illiterate and just watching this is giving me a headache.

I do appreciate your efforts in testing these units. I’ve been in the shadows not commenting but watching you but I’m here. These units do seem to be getting better as is early 2020

Thanks for this review! I find your explanation more clear and accessible than any others. I finally think I will be able to understand, choose and actually use a portable solar setup! Hooray!

Thank you Ben for this great review and information on this new Jackery!!

The more I see of Jackery, the more convinced I am to buy Bluetti. Thanks for this review

Thanks for another great review. I appreciate reviewers that show both the good and bad, and not just the things that will get clicks on their affiliate link. If I do ever order a Titan (I built my own while the Titan was unavailable), it’ll be from your site. Thanks for your reliable content.

Man, a reviewer guy who actually buys his own stuff. Completely refreshing. Subscribed and will definitely use your links for purchases. Btw, That jackery looks like it ate all the other jackeries.

I so love these Balls-Out no sponsored no holes barred reviews. Excellent info. Thank you!

Thank You for saving me from a Big Headache... as I "was" looking at Jackery's but this review was the icing on the avoiding same cake.... Subscribed...and Thumbs Up !!

Recommendation for the simplest unit for me, newbie, to use. Thank you And thank you for doing this review.

First time here bud, I'm in the UK. Fantastic video testing and evaluation. I really enjoyed your attention to detail great break down, keep on bringing the info 👍

One of the best reviews I've seen Thanks so much for alerting us A lot of people are turned off with Jackrey's Not compatible with other solar panels great channel we're following you Thanks

Thanks for the review. I have the 1000 and I really like it so far. Can keep me in the field indefinitely using my Bluetti folding solar panels.

Thank you so much for an honest review!

Just found this your channel and this video trying to find more since this was on sale on Amazon Prime Day. So grateful for the this info and learning about your website (have briefly checked it out - more later). Totally new to the solar generator world and pretty overwhelmed trying to figure out what we really need, but you have given me a great resource in your channel. Thanks!

I'm learning, thank you again. I was about to buy, but I definitely need to do my research.

Thank you so much for this video. I was going to buy that one today because of their sale ending today. Thank you.

Appreciate the candid review so much.

The best reviewer I have seen. Most solar guru's baffle me with their lack of laymen-ship.

I'm in the market for a solar generator and saw your video. Very well-reviewed and thank you. I need 2000 watts but not sure which one that I will be getting.

First timer. Thanks for your work. Seriously, thanks. I'm awaiting delivery of a Bluetti AC200P. Panels to come later. Please review this unit Thanks again.

I truly appreciate your honesty about this Jacquerie. I have seen others preview this Jacquerie, and none of them have been as honest as you are. I want to purchase a solar battery and didn’t know which one to purchase. You said you use another kind of battery in your cabinet I’m interested in that. I need this extra power because where I live, the electricity is always going off The grid and I need to run my refrigerators freezers microwaves. The whole works in my house, and I need something really powerful.

Thank you so much for your down to earth reviews.

Great review; appreciate the work you do

Nice video. I appreciate that you spent your own money to share this info with us. Subbed. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.

Thanks do this video, had me rethink to buy the this one. Thanks for the video..

Nice work on teasing out the issues with this Jackery.

Good to know these shortcomings. Thanks.

Great review. Thanks for being honest & upfront.

This was super helpful man, thanks!

Thanks for all info

The Jackassery Power Station! Great Channel!

Appreciate your reviews and value them alot. Thank you!

Just found your channel. I think you do the best “down to earth” reviews of these.

Great review. I'll stick with two jackery 1000 and two solar panels. One will charge while one is in use. Thumbs up from me. Thanks.

Thakyou! You taught me alot! So thankful for your time and patience.....

THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION

very useful info in here thanks for putting it together.

We bought one too. Was very excited to get it and we’ve been running it with all our appliances in home getting ready to go off grid....with solar being the main power. We don’t have the Jacery solar panels either and had no way to test it like you did. Makes me want to return it ASAP.

Once again, you keep pulling through for me MM. I learn a bit more with your deep insite/inputs to these devices. Every time I receive your emails I look forward to your reviews. This one has really taken me for a ride, 'I can't imagine how you feel.Thanks for your sacrifices and time for bringing this info with this issue of Solar Charging Capacity with this unit. Return it for an exchange and see if the new Jackery does the same?

Great review!

The fact is we're just not there yet with solar charging technology to justify the cost of those things. Thanks for the review.

thanks for the video brother

Great video. Thank you.

Great review. Think you should have called Jackery and challenge their claims of solar charging effieciency. It would be interesting to hear their explanations.

Great review. You DO realize, of course, with all those solar generators you have on your shelves, once the SHTF (coming soon), you should be covered for at least 1 yr of electrical energy before you'll need to worry about recharging your units! Woohoo! Love your work, pal. a new subscriber here! Keep em coming!

Your review made me build my own :) and I paid $1000 less than buying the Jackery. 24 Volt 100ah battery, 24 volt Pure Sine inverter, 40 amp mppt charge controller, 24 volt to 12 volt converter for my 12 volt items, circuit breakers, fuses and high quality heavy duty wire. Price of a jackery 2000 on amazon today $2299. Price to build my own with higher specs? Around $1300.

Thanks for the video. I'm planning to buy something similar soon, to compliment my gas generator, and run my CPAP, etc, at night and give my neighbors a break from noise.

Great reviews glad I found your channel. So What i take from this review and the Duracell is to build your own system

Man....you have really good Content! Subscribed....just bought a Sailboat and am looking intently for a good solar/generator setup...that will also be backup for home, RV, etc....i already have a Honda 3000es, but i need to go solar. Your opinion matters and will be basing alot of my decisions on your reviews. Good job on being thorough 👍

Thank you for your time, money, and effort put into this video. It was very helpful to learn that the solar panels did not produce what they claim. Thank you

I agree with your assessment of the Jackery 1500 and 2000. I purchased the Jackery 1500 (with my own money also) and I find the proprietary input connectors the weakest part of the new Jackerys. I, too, requested the adapter and use Rich Solar panels. It does appear that the MPPT throttles back on the input, and that maybe due to the new Panasonic batteries they decided to use. I have no problems using the A/C input in one jack and solar panels in the other. The MPPT may require a minimum voltage before powering. For your readers, the Jackery 1500 input is limited to 300 for each plug, for a total of 600. Again, I agree with you and happy with the unit other than the change in the 8mm plugs.

Excellent review. Subbed

Just subscribed, Thanks for the info!!

Hello, Pastor Fred here. Thank you for this review. I just ordered a Jackery 2000 with 4 panels, got it very cheap, but am hoping it actually works to run simple things while I am building my off grid cabin and get my large solar system up and running... Just getting started...

Well done! Thank you

great video

I need this beast

Thanks!

Thank you

thanks a lot!

Excellent

👍👍 excellet review

Great video as a buyer of 2 Jackery’s your findings really disappoint me, but glad I watched your video before buying it looks like a blueyetti for me then. Thanks for sharing Ray K UK YNWA. OH I SUBSCRIBED and gave you the THUMBS up.

Once i heard that Jackery uses proprietary connectors, i was out!! That is what killed Sony too.

thank you for this helpful review, the Jackery 2000 are all sold out ,was trying to order one, so much for my luck

15:05 I did get a full 100 watts out of one of my Solar Saga panels into my Jackery 1K, but the 1K can only take in 125 watts with both. My two solar saga 100s pump 150 watts into my Renogy Renegade 40 Amp typically, and I've seen them up to 170 watts.

Thanks, the info helped, im going to Ecoflow because of this. Jackery just lost so many custemers because they are like Apple iphones.

I have the Jackery 500 and it mainly runs the refrigerator in the back of my Jeep and it does it very efficiently in fact some people run their refrigerators for days without needing a recharge but the way I use mine I have never needed to recharge my 500 it works fine. I would say considering the price of the Jackery going over the 500 would be price prohibitive and you would be better off building out your own solar system one that you could expand by adding storage batteries 🔋 and panels to meet power ⚡️ requirements.

Jackery is an outdoor generator for people who need portable outside power. Their battery have less weight because they use traditional 18650 batteries and not LifePo4 far too heavy and not resistant to sub 0 temp. Jackery works at -10C. The solar saga are very good and solid. From one panel 100w i get 94w. What you say about the panel is wrong. I have a jackery 1000 which have a limited mppt input to 125. So with two panel i get only 125w but there are usb port and i can maximize the panel by charging phone directly with the panel. The jackery 1500 get 337w of charging from the 400w panel (4 x 100w). You don’t go in camping with solid fixed panel. The portable panel are very good for that. Personally i am very happy with my jackery 1000 which runs my 12 v fridge for 5 days without recharging. If i charge 2 hours per day. I could add 250wh in the generator which give me 32h of more fridge usage. So perfect for 4/5 days of camping. My fridge cfx3 use 7.79 per hour at 41F in 77F ambiant temp with the jackery 1000. Charging a iphone take less than 10wh, same for an ipad with the usb, and even 0 if you charge directly with the solar panels. It is very efficient 935wh usable on.1002wh so 93% efficiency. The ratings on jackery product are over 95% satisfied customers. Their product are reliable. Jackery is for outdoor, outlanders and camping. It is not for home stationary backup. For that, a DIY or a flex 1500 with stackable battery or titan would be better

Non-standard ports are usually a no-go for me. As a rule, it's best to avoid 'proprietary" whenever the performance is close to the same.

Great review thank you so much. New subscriber. God Bless you.

There is a KZfaqr named Shen Ye who was doing a review of the Jackery 1500 and was upset that he was getting very little input from his single solar panel which was doing OK on his Jackery 1000, but badly on the 1500., He discovered that single solar panels that have lower Open Circuit Voltage (around 22.8) and lower Voltage (18v) will do poorly. If using a single solar panel that has Open circuit voltage of 34.5 volts and voltage of 29v was able to be handled properly. Check out his video with a title of Jackery Explorer 1500

Glad I saw this First I would have been pissed off Send it back FAST 🤣 THANK YOU ❤️😊

The Jackery is on my wishlist. Working on backup power plans. In Texas we may have power outages due to the heat.

thanks for your investment

When you have to debug the solar power input problem with Jackery, you can share your video with them!!

Appreciate your strong efforts to all you do to Educate US beginners, with interests in Portable POWER INVERTOR UNITs. Could i suggest you make a Video, with Portable Needs for Musician's(single electric Acoustic guitar player with a 100watt Acoustic guitar amplifier) that sometimes have to play at location, with no POWER OUTLES nearby at a backyard? Just a suggestion that would help many musicians, needing Portable POWER Sources. ... Thanks and Keep donig what you do,. I'm sure many Folks out there , truly appreciate your work. I'm a Retired Computer Tech guy and i hope to create Videos, to Help Folks SAVE MONEY.... THKS again.

Sounds like a big frustration to me ...thanks for the info....

With my Jackery 1000 and 100 watt solar Saga panel I have seen 102 watts input continuous in great sun light on average days I see 70w to 80w which I thought was amazing! the bad part I hear that I can handle 120 solar input even if you have 200w panels which is the dumbest thing every but I'm hoping that the rumors are false but ill update you when I grab another one!

I know how to make 3 panels work...hook up the 3 panels, but put a blanket over one of your 100W solar panels and this will lower the overall voltage to below the 54 volts...then after you connect the cable to the Jackery, slowly pull away the blanket...and it will accept the the 3 panels in series.

I looked at the Jackery 2000 when I wanted to get another unit. I already had the Bluetti AC200P with 3 of their portable solar panels. With Jackery's propriety issues with solar panel connections, I decided not to buy this unit. I bought another AC200P even though it weighs quite a bit more. Good review and it confirms my initial concerns about this unit.

Let's go!

I think your issue is answered on hobotech Jackery 1500 video

TITAN FOREVER #1, of course purchased from PPS👍

I'm not sure why some commenters think a person has to use jackery's solar panels. I don't,as soon as I looked at them I did my research and bought the dokia brand panels. They are crap, I have since then bought my Marbero's, and I l love them. Running while charging has been said to wear it out quicker as these aren't set up as a UPS system. So I don't. I have two 1000 watt jackery's for my freezer. Two 500 for my computer,DVD player and other misc. I have three 240's for my phone and lights. I bought extension cords and have my Genny's safe in the rv. I also have a 1200 watt system set up that isn't running right now,can't figure out the problem and haven't been able to get anyone to come out and look at it,so I absolutely love my plug and play units. I also do a lot of cooking with my sun oven. Living offgrid in my airstream I need reliable power and that's what I get with my jackery's.

Bluetti all day everyday here Even though they only have the AC200P and EB150 for sale here in Australia A lot of these manufacturers, with their nuances/ corner cutting ( Read : Goal Zero ) will becomes names / products of the past. Moreso when they try to impose their wills and make them “their brand solar panels compatible “ only.

Thanks for the review! Any insights on using dc splitter or AC power strip with power stations?

Well this sucker is not on my list of battery options. Thank you for the in depth video. No one else is going over panel connections as well as you do. Hoping to be fully off grid by January.

I have the 2000 with 6 solar saga panels and no issue at all. Full charge in just under 3 hours. You can't down on it because it wont use your panels fully, it's like having a Rolls Royce with a Ford engine.

I'm out too!! But I am looking at the new jackery 2000 pro, but after hearing such negative stuff on there previous models I probably won't be purchasing that either, probably Eco flow so far sounds pretty good Better than Jackery at least!

I have a J1000 and one solar saga 100watt panel and it brings in almost 100 watts when connected and the Jackery is the Toyota of solar generators .

try bigger solar panels 100 watt panels are very portable but limited production. when people ask jackery engeneers to upgrade the solar imput they ansuered with mppt accepting 300+ panels and worked. good video

Well you threw a turd in my punch bowl when you reviewed the 4patriot , I didn’t do any research when I bought it, it sounded good now I know what bad and good is and it sucks. So I was thinking jackery 2000 thousand but you have show it’s not really up to snuff either lol. So I’m saving for the titan now. Thanks

Thanks so much for the review. This is my first time watching you. I appreciate the review on this because I thought these were one of the better brands. I'll definitely stay away from the Jackery and you should return it and get your money back.

Great 👍goal zero yeti 6000x portable power station test it out

Thanks so much for this review. I’ve been waiting for it. I really want the Titan though. How long are the Titans back ordered right now?

Just watching the trouble you're having with that POS makes me want to avoid it. I agree that things should be compatible with better stuff than what that given company makes. Something Apple needs to learn. Their crap is only compatible with its own junk. I'm looking for really good solar power from a power station. I'm going to give your channel a subscribe to learn more.

Great video, thank you, but that titan solar generator, 4k to 6k, a bit to pricey for me, wow!
