    I bought a Jackery 1000 about a month ago and love it so much that I just bought a second one that's on it's way as I write this. I also bought two of the 100 watt Jackery solar panels... I don't live in a van or RV. I've lived in a very remote area of the Southern California Mojave Desert in a home on five acres of sand for the past 44 years. Thanks to the Professor, I've learned more from him than I ever learned in school. He's an American asset that should be given a UA-cam medal for his wisdom and teaching skills. I was born in 1937. Technology has taken off during my lifetime and things like the Jackery 1000 would have seemed impossible to create at the time I was growing up. The Edison electric company has trouble keeping the power on in California at any time, but during the hot summers my power is sometimes off more than it's on. The Jackery 1000, together with the solar panels and a small Honda Inverter Generator will help me and my 3 best friend dogs to survive for a few more years. Thank you Professor Hobo for giving me so much valuable information on so many things.

    Just a little FYI to your viewers, those with CPAP especially. My wife uses CPAP. I got a watt meter and measured her machines consumption last night. Humidifier on as usual. I don't know if it warms the air or if it can be switched on of off if it does. It used 41 watts the way she always uses it. The meter calculated it used 0.317 Kilo Watts over night, about 8 hours. Your machine might use more or less but maybe it will be a ball park figure to help you plan what size you might need.

    • @ronaldborucki9372
      @ronaldborucki9372 3 роки тому +3

      If you can do without the humidifier, than the consumption will drop considerably. Last night my ResMed Airsense 10 without humidifier used 18.8 Watts per hour.

    • @MisterRisk
      @MisterRisk 3 роки тому +3

      We run a CPAP off our RV power system and changed the power supply over to a dc-dc unit instead of plugging into the 120v A/C plug running off the inverter. The new CPAP power supply plugs into the 12V socket and steps the voltage up to 24V. It was about a 40% decrease in power consumption running it off a DC power supply instead of the inverter. ResMed CPAP.

    • @hueypilot1950
      @hueypilot1950 3 роки тому +1

      @@MisterRisk My guess is that these Jackerys do lots of things but those of us who need cpap are a significant piece of the market and the unit purchased has to be at least big enough to get you through the night. I wonder if that 12 to 24 thing has consistent 24 out as the 12 volt supply gets weaker and voltage drops? The Jackery maintains 12 volts until nearly the end of its discharge cycle.

    The 1000 is a beast but I just ordered a 500 because it is more than adequate for my needs. Besides the 1000, even with a discount, would be a little pricey for me. Got $50 off on Amazon for my 500. The 12v regulated output on the Jackery was the deciding factor over other units. I'm a recent subscriber and thanks for your excellent reviews. Because of your reviews I feel I have chosen the best and appropriate product for my needs.

    I would buy a second jackery as a back up and/or get longer time of use in case of long periods of time where the solar energy is not available. For 1000 more dollars, i would be fully covered. Just my take. Maybe Jackery would give a 10% or so discount to get two of them. Do not forget that for some equipment like phones, tablets, using the car battery does not pose a problem at all. SO keep the jackery for 12v fridge, TV, coffee maker, small heater/AC... That said, for campers, a heated blanket seems to be a very good option. 10 minutes before getting pout of bed, turn on a small heater to warm up the van/camper and you would be just fine. Just my take as I am thinking about enjoying more time outdoor/off grid

    Very nice product application video, Tom. Use cases in video demo are compelling, and you are a good articulator --engaging, not abrasive, and with excellent cadence. Fridges, heaters, microwaves, induction plates, and small air conditioners with SOFT START are by far the most used, desired, and asked about applications for portable power stations I speak to people about (more of my questions than giving answers) and you nailed all those categories for the 100 WH Jackery. Thank you. One question. This video content is approaching one year old, and the AC unit demo'd is getting harder to acquire, and may not today be the best of the best of the best across efficiency, quality, and economics. Is there a specific AC (updated offering) that the E1000 (version 2 if that matters) equally handles that is 2021 or very late 2020 model? And, what is the specific impact on W/H draw if migrating to the same maker, 6000 BTU, SOFT START version? Seeking a very specific AC update/replacement recommend for the AC unit you included in this video if you a tried and true contemporary option. Your product reviews WITH use cases of real appliances carry weight in the public eye. Keep em coming, as "lab testing" the ports with measurement devices, however seemingly cool isn't that helpful for the vast majority of POTENTIAL buyers of ULTRA PORTABLE, high power, stations/solar generators. Generally, IMO, people want to see appliance use cases in action and info on longevity, quality and support SHOULD something happen. As a former QC inspector, you know this to be true. Kind regards.

    For all these devices with lcd screens. Its possible the screen on these devices could get damaged by accident if struct by an object. So a plexiglass insert or coverdoor would be nice , or make one.
    As for the 12v car port, I think those are fuse limited at 10A for safety due to thin consumer device wires , hence can only supply 120w but thats usually enough.

    @CC-gt3ro 3 роки тому

    My cfx3 45 use only 187w per day !!! And my jackery 1000 runs it for for 120h. 5 days!! And i used the fridge every 3h with food inside. Visibly it uses exactly 20% per day (7.76w per hour exactly). The conpressor run at max 45w for few minutes then it use only 1w for 15 minutes or so. So it can last 5 days if you would use 100% of the battery.. But i won’t i will start recharge with solar as soon as the weather allow it. But we only do 4 days straight camping. So we are good to go. The good thing is the jackery panel have usb and usb-c so i can charge the jackery at 135w and maximize up to 160w (80% of 200w) the panel by charging the phones without reducing the jackery battery.(not tested yet this. I wait sunny day)
    I use a 2 x 10000 btu propane burner stove more efficient for food. And i have 2 lantern ultra efficient that can run 6 days with 3 x D battery and AAA battery. So the jackery is dedicated to the fridge. In 2022 or 2023 i could buy another jackery more powerful so i can charge faster and charge one in parallel and use the bigger jackery for more electric devices.

At this point I'm not comfortable with paying $1,500 or more for a device that I could be stuck with - unable to send back a faulty jackery/bluetti because shipping companies won't ship batteries? There were several huge problems people reported with even the most expensive brands/models.

    I have the Jackery 1000 and want to run a PORTABLE air conditioner with exhaust hose to a Maxxair vent fan in a stealth van set-up and the LG 6000btu unit I bought shuts down my Jackery when the compressor cycle starts I'm guessing because it doesn't have "soft start" which I was unaware of till I saw this vid. I am a regular watcher of your channel and you have helped me tremendously for my build over the past year.
    You seem to be the only one I know smart enough to be able to guide me to finding (hopefully) a portable unit and maybe what to look for in the specs of units when shopping online, since info given in ads does not seem to state "soft start". Maybe another clue in specs?
    I looked at the Frigidaire in your vid, and it doesn't look like that could be used sitting completely inside the van, due to being a window unit and having no way to effectively vent or drain, or can it be modified??
    I know you're probably plenty busy, and you are THE best channel existing today in this genere, and if anybody could help me, I knew it would be YOU!! Please Help!

    Video suggestion. How well will the battery float a charge on a large draw. 200 watts of solar. Plug into your heater possibly. Like to see a comparison of with solar and without solar. And a time-lapse would be nice. This video will give a sense of how well it floats charge the power converter. Mainly for us poor guys who do not understand how much 200 watts can do. Or is it a 150 with all the reductions.
