Thanks for showing some common uses that all lot of us would use Eric. I agree about those stubborn side covers... they're a little aggravating, but it's a decent little power station for real. Just wondering if you've tried charging it with solar panels yet? Thanks again. Happy holidays. Be safe all.
I bought two OUPES MEGA 1's and I am thrilled that I kept the boxes they came in. Both failed within two months of use. One won''t turn on and the other will not network connect and two of the 110 outlets failed. Two strikes and I bought one more to make it three and these two will be going back after I receive and operate the third for one month. Hoping it works until I get the replacements for the two I'm sending back. Wish me luck.
The reality is that none of these portable power stations are great at running electric heat nonstop for any length of time. I think your best bet is the propane option like we've talked about in other video comments. With that said, If you really need to go with electric, you could do something like the Mega 3 with an extra battery (amzn.to/42arPMY) and place a small space heater on low with the thermostat turned all the way down. This will keep the room chilly but safe for the animals or people and get you through the night just fine.
Just curious but have you tried running an electric pressure washer on any of these smaller units? Looking for my mobile detailing service in Houston area.
That’s a fascinating idea! I have a couple electric pressure washers so I will try it out. My guess is that this Mega 1 will handle it. Maybe not for a long time though. However, with a few solar panels, you may be good to go.
@@EastTexasHomestead Thanks for giving it a try in the future. Yes, having some portable solar panels would be helpful. I was glad you show this using the saw as very logical option for some corded tools not being turn on all the time.
Sorry I was venting! lol I figured it out and was able to get it to work. i feel the website can re vamp their website on tutorials, but I like the Mega 1. I chose this one over the ecoflow. Runs well!
I don't think you accurately explained the life cycle. From a basic Google search; "As you use your battery and recharge it, it slowly loses the ability to return to its original capacity. The life cycle of a battery is the number of charge and discharge cycles that it can complete before losing performance." "A battery is considered to have reached the end of its life when its capacity has decreased to 80% of its original value."
Sorry about that. I’ll try to explain that better next time I just wanted to hit the point home that it will still be good with 10 years of cycling it daily.

I haven’t tried solar with this guy yet. I should add that to my tests. Happy New Year!
Great review!
Thanks!

Dang! Sorry for your luck. Hope it's better with this new one!
@@EastTexasHomestead The one that I ordered came yesterday and it works!!
@@gregoryfaith4303 Thank goodness!
I have to ask, if I ran a tv and Xbox, how long would it last?
What do I buy to keep my fur baby's warm for at least 8 hours with a 1000watt heater..through the night if an power outage happens while at work.

Just saw that you already have the Delta 2. I'll address it on that comment.

how do you connect this unit to bluetooth??? Is the app really needed?
The app is not required. When you first open the app, it will ask you for permission to connect to devices on your network.

@@GatorScatpack No problem. Glad you got it figured out. It's a pretty slick little unit.
Noob question. Can this generator be charged while being used?
@@globalsacrifice5248 absolutely
Yes it can, and just for your info...that's what they call "pass-through charging".
Good luck
