*100% best **Generater.Systems** I have used. A test for hurricane prep here in Louisiana: three AC units, 5000, 5000 & 8000, 3 fridges, 2 device power setups, 4 flat screens....AND I had 40% of the power meter to spare.*
Seriously, with that one generator? I’m just beginning to look into them and it’s more than a tad confusing.

Your either a BOT or full of B.S
Thanks for this great video. I am strating up in this world of off-grid living and this video was very helpful.
Great info, thanks for taking the time
Great revelations ! Thank you.
In February 2023 I saw your video and went on Amazon and got a $400 coupon for this vetoman jump 1500 unit -- waiting on it right now. Can’t wait to try it out thank you for your video I’ve seen 20 of these video reviews over the past couple days and yours was very informative.
Very informative and detailed information. . I'm a tech nerd and really appreciate product reviews from knowledgeable people. Thank you!
New subscriber, glad to find a channel that reviews power stations. 😀
Awesome, thank you!
I just got my VTOMEN 1000. Bought thru Walmart. They have a 30 day refund if needed. Paid just under $600 with free shipping. This review helped me make my decision.
The VTOMAN is quite a bit heavier - 37 lbs vs. 26 lbs. Many people won't care, but it's probably worth pointing out.
Emergency boat anchor?
Because it’s a better chemistry with a 4000 charge cycles lifespan vs 1000. LiFePO4 vs lithium ion. A better comparison is Jackery Explorer 1000 plus, which is over 30 lb.
Another great informative video. Bought the Vtoman Jump 1000 and now looking for a 200w solar panel to go with it.
Great solar power generator & a Great review 👍
Wow, that’s pretty amazing. I have been waiting to get an Eco Flow Delta as a starter unit, but you’re totally right that the pair of these would be a great deal. Appreciate it.
I too have had my eye on the EcoFLow but am now considering this instead. Thahk you for sharing.
I considered the eco flow delta 2 but this vtoman has way more battery capacity and some users have charging issues with the eco flow units
Excellent overview, thank you.
We have used the ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxOTeIs0vv4_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!
thanks for unboxing part, i always have trouble with that!
Hahahaha!
Wow what a deal. I have been shopping for a Solar Power Source. This is a great price. Thanks for doing these reviews. It has really helped me prepare for my travels.
Great review!
Thank you for the info 👏
Appreciate the head-to-head comparison.
What a great comparison!!
By sheer dumb luck, I bought the vto Jump 1000. Price was the consideration that sealed the deal. I've had it for close to a year & it's great. I run my fridge/freezer 28 qt combo for 6-7 Hours while resting for the night. Next day I plug both into the van and charge while driving. I have solar panels now and next run will try to charge with those. I'll keep in mind the 5.5 mm connections and change 1 or 2 panels for that. You're making me smarter every time I watch. Thank you.
Thanks so much for the kind words, Marilyn! I sincerely appreciate it! :)
How do you get your unit to NOT keep heading into eco-mode and turning the fridge off??I'm desperate over here and about to buy a Goal Zero as my food keeps getting spoiled.
Great video. Was excited to see I had a few days left on the coupon, unfortunately it doesn't work anymore, and I am in the US.
Great videos!
Great Video
Awesome. Man I dig your review. Well spoken. Get her done. Get some, get some, attitude. Far out. Keep on trucking.
I jumped on it, that is a great deal.
I too bought the VTOMAN 1500 with the (2) 100W panels with it and it is awesome! Great power station, lots of power, love the car battery jump starter option, LiPO4 batteries, all at a good price point.
I am looking at the 1500 on amazon right now, it is priced at 799.99 with a 100 coupon. The reviews there vary.
@@Coconutoilcrazy They came out with a newer version that I believe is 1000W instead of 1500W and some updated features.
@@natefreeman1466 I bought the VTOMAN Jump 1500X Portable Power Station 1500W. I was debating between that and the Iforway. The vtoman was a good price. Thank you for your original comment about buying it and loving it, that settled my mind. It should be here in a few days
@@Coconutoilcrazy and what’s your verdict?
@@GMC-qo9xi I like it, I havent had to use it in a real power outage yet. One thing is it didnt have the jumper cable that was shown. So far I havent received it, although they said they would send one.
Good review. It change my mind.
UPDATE!! Note that VTOMAN updated their Jump power station product line in September and they NO LONGER INCLUDE the Jumper Cable module with the power station - it's now an add-on accessory. So just be aware of that. Here's a link to that option if you're interested: amzn.to/3WvyfzW
Bummer, that was a definite selling point versus the competition.
I found that out after I received mine, they said they would send it but so far they havent.
I really like the VTOMAN power station but I guess I'm one day late for the great price that you mentioned in the video on UA-cam.
@@vincentpompa5740 Same here
@@CC-uh3zn Are you sure it is jumper cables and not the battery charger? The description says "Car charger included" that is the jumper cable. Let us know if you indeed get the Jumper cable
Thank you “ great video
I know this is an older video, but I just wanted to say Thank you for the great in depth review 👍🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 You helped me decide on the brand that I want... VTOMAM all the way. Lol. And Amazon has some amazing deals still.
Yeah as long as you don't need to rely 100% on solar recharge (since it's limited to 200W total) it's a good option.
Just placed my order for the 1500. Looking for lots of additional power for our boat to operate various devices! I also bought a 220 watt folding solar panel to go with it!
Nice!!
Well, I think it's safe to say that Jackery has pretty much ridden its pony to the end of the line. With regard to solar generators, hey WERE one of the first and best back in the day. But they have not kept up with the leaders of the pack. I'm pretty much all in with the recent purchase of the new Bluetti AC500. Expansion capacity is the name of the game for me. But this is a really great value at the price.
@@CreakyCricket Correct. But what people seem to have a hard time with, IS the marketing term. And it's not going to change so I don't get why they seem to have a hard time with calling it that. It is now set in marketing stone and will be for the foreseeable future. Thanks for the clarification.
I thought you couldnt get any better than a Jackery, but after seeing this and comparing the price, I think I will check it out.
The coupon expired on 10/30 so the price is now $749. Still a good deal. Than you, just ordered one because of this video.
I built my first wind generator using a GM truck alternator in 1995, I have always used deep cycle lead acid batteries. I have a homemade 400 watt Li po unit for drone operations while camping. I just cant see spending a $1000 plus for these units when I know I can build my own unit custom made to my needs for a fraction of the cost. The components now days are plug and play. For standby back up power deep cycle is just fine, you can renew the batteries every 6 years or so. For partial solar use you need to renew more often. $400 for the unit you are showing is a good deal.
:) Thanks and no Jackery products for me thanks... much better options out there now, and they are SO hyped by supported youtubers :( I bought an Oupes 1200 a while ago,, and very happy with it. ALL the BEST and Cheers!
I HAVE THE VITOMAN 1500X AND LIKE IT A LOT. GOOD BANG FOR THE BUCK
I need this!
jackery's pricing has always been so high and features so far out of date that I have never bothered owning one. For my money Ecoflow and Bluetti are the way to go. There are plenty of cheaper options too but they tend to have severely limited solar input limits which makes them less practical for solar use. I try to avoid anything with less than 100W input per 400WH so that way it can be fully charged in one solar day. Sure, you can charge from your vehicle (at roughly 96W, 8A@12V in order to avoid melting wiring or input adapter) but thats slow and expensive to do if you arent already driving.
Thanks for your insights, Jeremy!
Exactly!
I agree as the one thing that keeps me from getting these larger capacity power stations is the solar input. I have the Bluetti EB70s and I think that is the max capacity(716Wh) I would go for 200W limit(real world being much less) when I see real world charging performance. This Vtoman is even bigger and worse still, looking at their website the 1800W version only has 200W solar charging as well. I was considering that model until I read that. I do appreciate that all newer power stations of pass through technology now.
Price on the jump 1000 needs to fall drastically. Realistically it should be around 50 cents per watt hour. On Black Friday I snagged one of the bluetti ps70 for $200. Sure, the jump 1000 is twice the capacity/inverter but it costs 5x as much. Makes it very hard to justify the purchase.
@@TheUnlikelyPotato With promotions and coupons $648 including tax.
I've had my jackery 1000 fore two years. Still works great.
Yeah, I don't disagree. Mine works great still as well. It's just that since I originally bought the E1000, I've discovered a bunch of alternatives that have a lot of upgraded functionality (especially increased DC input capacity) at a lower cost per Wh. But Jackery HAS made up some ground with the new E1000 Pro which looks to be a solid unit...albeit still using Lithium NMC instead of LiFePO4.
Same here and totally satisfied with it, works for my needs!
Can you run an average size hot water kettle to compete boil with one of these? Can i run a compact microwave for 13 minutes Straight??????
Only one close is the 1200w Oupes that's on sale for $765, and is a lifepo4 battery!
Your deal is a good one!
Great video. We own a Jackery 500 and love it, but like most people commenting here, Jackery hasn't kept pace and keeps their pricing too high in comparison to the competition. We will give the VTOMAN a hard look, for sure. Our house is completely off-grid, but we plug the Jackery into our fridge as a UPS and emergency backup battery just in case something goes wrong (which hasn't happened, but who knows).
Yeah, I like my E1000 too, but for the money, it just doesn't provide the features/capacity that I can get with so many other options on the market now. BTW, I've got a video I'm working on now that you might find helpful. Stay tuned for that. :)
@ErvigHenry what would be the price on it? That's another thing customers are looking too.
love the outtakes lol. if you have more outtakes post them or put them in a separate video, were you mess up quite often, i believe your audience will get a laugh/kick out of that. :)! just a suggestion from me to your viewers!
I found the $400 coupon. Finbal cost including tax was $834 out the door. Thanks!
Nice review. Just like I like them, more electro, less boom. RWO, I really like the emphasis on parasitic loss and rated charge cycles. However, a huge percentage of power station users buy them for emergencies and 2 camping trips a year, so that makes *shelf-life* a very important battery spec! Thanks for the video!
Yes, that's what I'm looking for, just as an emergency back up power source. Also where do you get the solar panels that go with this power pack
S,
Yes, we need a spec like percent of charge maintained for six months, or something along those lines.
Did you say 3000 life cycles. The pamphlet says 1000 life cycles that I just read after opening the box. I don’t quite understand. Is it 1000 or 3000 life cycles.
Most of the LiFePO4 power stations will maintain about 95% of their charge for over 12 months. it's pretty impressive.
Thank you,do you have a review or video regarding solar panels?
Thanks for the great review! I just placed my order. I have a question: I have two 100W solar panels. Should I connect them in series, parallel, or separately to the Jump 1000? The panels will be roof mounted on a cabin, so I'd rather only run one cable inside to the Jump 1000. Or would you recommend a 200W 24V panel instead?
Seems like a really good deal, but with that much capacity I think I'd want to do more than just 200w charging for a solar panel I just bought a battery, charge controller etc. This does seem like a really good deal though.
Thank you for this review. If you could, please consider doing a dive into customer service, return policies, and maybe reference some actual reviews and frustrations customers had . However the last point maybe questionable because you can't verify if these are true. Other reviews mention what it can do, but then what can you do about it when it doesn't perform. Keep up the good work.
New Sub. I really love the comparison and detail video,thank you. I’m on a market for a more wattage battery pack I think you got me sold on the Vtoman Jump 1000.Question? I already have the Jackery 300watts with the solar panels,would I be able to use my Jackery solar panels with the Vtoman Jump 1000?. I really don’t want to buy another solar panels.I really hope it does or any adaptor that you can recommend ..again thank you in advance much appreciate .👍🏽
Go Labs comes with a carry case but you have to request it! It's nice and arrives quick! FREE!
Excellent battery pack but im not so happy about the price even though if its cheaper than others. Good informative video, thanks. I just replaced my 110Ah leisure batt for 140 euro. I use it for backup power and for my canoe motor and sometimes camping. I use a 300w inverter (30 euro) from aldi to run the fridge until it cuts out, a few times a day or i can plug in my laptop and tv. i use 12v lights and have 2 12v lighter sockets and 2 usb sockets (10 euro). I just use a batt charger to charge it (used 4 euro). My last batt lasted 8 years. I dont use it much but its great when the power is off, which happens here occasionaly..... I might buy one if the price comes down a lot more
Can I have your next tester...I'm about to start my van life journey and it would be a definite BLESSING...and an introduction to vloglife
Wish we had something like this in the uk......
We can't even get the higher capacity Jackery units in the UK through Amazon.
FanDamTasTic! Cause I've been looking for a portable as Great or Better than Jackery for a Eay More Affordable Price! Ex. Lower than $1,000 as a Upcoming Low Low Budget Newbie Nomad. Thank You Nuch Aspiring Nomad NYC 💞
I like the idea of a mobile power station. Great video. Do these devices act as an uninterrupted power supply, meaning I’d like to use it as a backup for a sump pump when I’m not using for chores around the house. This would be ideal rather than a dedicated ups for a sump pump and a separate power station
Excellent question, Richard...and great application idea. Some power stations definitely have UPS capability, but the VTOMAN power stations do not. I've got a bunch of other power station reviews on the channel where they do have UPS built-in. Ugreen, Pecron, Anker, EcoFlow, Bluetti, oh, and I'm posting one tomorrow that does, also (Vigorpool Captain 1200).
Just picked on up at Amazon for $709.30 out the door. $999 listed, -$300 coupon -$50 your code. Thanks Dude!
I bought a jackery 1000 last year it is a good product but would prefer a couple of 1000 watt units for the same price
The vtoman handle does not fold down. Thus making it inconvenient for storage and packing. A flat top or flat folding handle is preferred. The comments on Jackery battery capacity is outdated based on current configuration.
Well yeah...this IS an older video and things changed for Jackery AND VTOMAN. Jackery has new Pro and Plus series and VTOMAN has their new FlashSpeed series.
@ReeWrayOutdoors 😊 So, can you do a comparison of the Flash and the Jump for us? Pleeeease?
NICE ONE THANKS
Go Bearcats! Awesome video
Thank you sir!! Go Cats!
Great video and information 👍 I'm a drone pilot and carrying a generator with extra fuel isn't always an option. I like that I can charge batteries while charging the power station as I move from location to location. I used your link and the total cost was just over $600. Thanks for the great deal! What solar panel do you recommend for tis system?
I'd look for a 200W panel for sure. In the 200W category, I only have hands-on experience with the rigid BougeRV 200W panel and the AllPowers 200W foldable polycrystalline panel. I think both probably in the same ballpark, price wise, so it comes down to whether you want the portability/packability or not. Here's the video on the AllPowers panels compared with a couple of other brands: ua-cam.com/video/EVVJAwAov0E/v-deo.html There are links in the video description if you want to go check the current price on them. Here's the link for the BougeRV panels if you're thinking of going rigid for more permanent mount: ua-cam.com/video/1CvbaAjJcHw/v-deo.html I hope that helps!
Sounds Lome over kill just to power drones.
I power my drone batteries with a small inverter I have plugged in the car.
That's just a back up since I carry 6 batteries with me at all times.
Great video, couple questions. First of I have a Renogy 200watt portable solar setup. Can I use this to charge the Jump 1000 and will I get the full benefit of the 200watt panel setup?
Second question, with this unit could I potentially run a skill saw with a 15amp rating? Tried to find the specs on the amp ratings for the ac outlets but couldn’t find it.
Thanks
Noooooooo The link is not there anymore. Bring it back pleaseeeeee. I’ll be your subscriber for life.
The EcoFlow Delta 2 is a great deal for under $1000, it also has an additional battery available.
yeah, I'm liking what I'm seeing on that Delta 2. I'm hoping to have 1 to review here fairly soon.
I don’t like that all Delta’s have Wi-Fi blue tooth connection. If Delta get hack your device could be hacked as well and you’d still be in the dark with a $1000 generator
Great review even if the coupon code doesn’t work they’re still giving a great discount, I just ordered the 1,500 watt jump unit for under $900 tax included regular price $1,200 discount of $400.
Check your maths
@@freewheelinfranklyn $873.99 to be exact, just under 900 bucks. In california the state gets to keep a cut of every purchase we make so the tax rate was 9.25% I just paid the state $74.00 and they didn’t do shit I know it sucks.
I have two jumps 1,000's ! I also have a 600W, which is less weight and ez to move, but give up some power.
Thanks for this review. I just purchased the jump 1500. Have you used solar extension cables in the past? If so, can you recommend a brand and what exactly I need.
What connectors do your solar panels have? The Jump 1000 has 2 DC5521 inputs, so you'll definitely need that on one end.
I just bought it from Amazon $699.00. I almost bought the Jackery 1000 from Home depot for 790.00.. Building my BBQ shed running power to it and water. I wanted to have solar power also. Ill use the 120 volt power to run my refrigerator and BBQ smoker, use the solar for tv etc with 2 solar panels to have it charge . bought a tankless portable water heater runs off propane for my hot water
Thanks for the video! It’s so hot right now across the country so I am wondering if ordered and shipped in this extremely hot weather will damage happen to the solar panels and battery? What do ya think?
Nah. Nothing to worry about there.
Never understood any of these power station videos, just way to many variables to consider between the various units, congratulations to all who understand these things. I’m like , fire good!
I feel the exact same way totally lost I plan to use solar for all my charges and trying to determine which would be better the 1000 or the 1500 and what size and how many panels. Any ideas
No it doesn't come with the battery cables, it costs $110 more on separate ordering.
yeah they made the change to not include the jump module when they updated the product line last month (a couple of months after I posted this video). Is it really $110?? I can't even find it on their website now. :-/
Your coupon codes aren't working can you please double check them. Thanks! Awesome review!
Currently $900 with a $200 off coupon that you have to clip on the amazon page listed in the description.
Seriously? No code will work after 8 months. 😆
It still works for the $600 off. You have to check the little box that says apply coupon, it’s below the item title/price. It’s tricky but it’s there 😂
I'm super new to this information, and looking for something to take on a week long camping trip. Would this support a heating blanket? We'll be in some 30-40 degree weather on the overnights, and looking to heat the pup a little. Thank you for any input!
Im watching this in October 2022.
Jackery did release 1000 and 2000 pro.
Specs are much improved.
Main reason why some prefer LFP and NMC are the size, weight, and energy density.
The reason why NMC PW are so much smaller and lighter is the energy density.
Holds greater amount than LFP.
I have both Jackery 1500 and Bluetti EB70.
EB70 weights just as much as my Jackery 1500. EB70 has 1/2 of capacity as Jackery 1500.
Older and weak can't lug around LFP everywhere. Stationary use belongs to LFP and portability to NMC.
Vtoman 1000 is now 1299 with 400 off.
Amazon is having clearance sale on Jackery 1000 with 2 solar saga 100 panels for 1349.
Costco and Homedepot also has them for the same price.
No argument from me on this. All fair points! :) I posted this video just prior to the release of the Jackery 1000 Pro, which is a significant improvement over the original E1000 that I have. But yeah, I have a couple of 2000Wh LiFePO4 power stations and they are heavy beasts!! Certainly good for a full body workout. hahaha
@@ReeWrayOutdoors
Yeah but, you're no spring chicken he! he!
People needs stop comparing how many cycles of charging between LFP and NMC.
Yes, LFP does have few thousand cycles over NMC. But, the features on the Power station will fail before the battery and makes it useless. Just like led bulbs. It has 25,000 hour life. But, the converter fails well before that. Good led bulbs are good for about a year.
@Fart Zilla
Your car led went out due to electronics and not due to the led itself.
Consider yourself lucky or your kitchen lights are fixed and are not replaceable bulbs. Fixed seems to last much longer.
For the replaceable type bulbs, I've replaced them at least once every other year.
Great video thanks just subscribed but is there a Uk version, been on the Vitoman jump website that says only available in the US?
I checked on that just last week and apparently they don't yet have distribution in UK. 🤔
@@ReeWrayOutdoors That's a shame, thank you for your quick reply I'll keep looking for that ideal power station that I can use as for small portable electric hob.
Great review! I was just about ready to purchase the Patriot 1800. Have you done a review on that unit?
Mike, I've not done a review on the Patriot 1800. I did go look at their website and try to get sense of what the specs are, and I would STRONGLY advise against buying that product. This unit is only 768Wh in capacity. If we assume that the solar panel they bundle it with is a 100W panel and that it makes up about $250 of the $2500 price tag, that would mean the Patriot 1800 costs $2.92 per Wh. Yes, you'd be getting a 1800W inverter, but what good is that when it won't power anything for very long. And compare that to Jackery (notoriously the most expensive option) at around $1 per Wh! Most of the units I review are going to be < $0.75 per Wh. The Pecron E2000 I most recently owned is extremely good and has MUCH better specs all the way around (incl nearly triple the capacity) than the Patriot 1800, and yet costs only $1400...(add $600 for 2 - 200W solar panels for 400W of solar input and you're still saving $500 and getting WAY more). Bottom line: you'll probably be much better off buying about ANYTHING other than the Patriot 1800 - this company is clearly (IMO) trying to capitalize on people's sense of patriotism and play on their fears. Don't fall for it!
Wow… thank you for such detail and concern! I have watched Patriot play with their price a lot. The fact is, the generator costs $2K plus tax with one 100W panel. The other $500 is for other goodies such as food supply, solar water heater, solar power station to charge phones, etc. They push that $2500 as the cost of the unit. Now, they have a “sale” for the $2K because you don’t get the goodies with it. I’ve been hesitant over 18 months to move forward. Then, you came along😅
How can anyone not like the VTOMAN?
One question with that. You mentioned it’s a
200W max DC solar charge input. You connected two 200W panels. The tall panel in the back provided over 100W of charging power. What happens if you used two of those panels and it exceeds the 200W input?
Thank you so much!
@@OneTruth56 I'm glad you dodged the bullet on that Patriot kit! You can 'over-panel' a power station without too much risk IF you're careful. Most power stations will have some over-current/over-voltage protection to ensure that they're not damaged if the input volts (or the amps) exceeds the charge-controller spec (they'll often either shut-down or just cap the input if the excessive input is only slightly above spec). BUT, it's definitely still possible to damage them if you suddenly get a significant input surge that is FAR above the rated max. Even though the Jump 1000 has a 200W DC max input (which I consider to be it's 1 primary weakness, if you plan on relying mostly on solar recharge), it's fairly common (in my southern Ohio latitude) to max out at between 50% to 80% of rated capacity on a solar panel (depending on conditions, time of year, temp, etc). That said, I knew when the conditions on that day that I was unlikely to be outputting more than about 50% capacity on those panels so I felt safe connecting 2 of them in parallel - but I'd generally not recommend since you'd eventually have a condition where you COULD damage the charge controller. So my recommendation is that if you anticipate the need to rely on solar (frequently or exclusively) for charging, you be looking at something more like the Pecron E2000 (which I'm hard-pressed to think of ANY complaints about). But if you don't really need frequent solar charging - the Jump 1000 or 1500 is an excellent buy.
@@ReeWrayOutdoors thank you ReeWray!
Hello ReeWay! I researched and took your advice. I purchased the Jump 1500X and Back-up battery. I might have made a mistake on the solar panels though. I saw you recommended the ELECAENTA 120W panels. I saw the ELECAENTA 200W panel and purchased that. Am I able to just use a 200W panel to charge, or do I have to split it up at the power station’s inputs with two 100-120W panels? I believe the 1500X can’t exceed a 200W solar charge as the Jump 1000 correct? Thanks
new to the video/channel..
-What are the expected lifetimes of these ?
.also: any update as to upcoming special/sale like the price cut that is mentioned towards the end of the vid?
I have a 12v battery and an invertor. I'm good to go.
Awesome review. “Like & sub” 👍🏾
i have had a lot of these things and when they die the whole thing is junk, i think the best way to go is buy the biggest battery you can , sealed agm is the best , and put it in a battery box , mount an inverter on the side with 120 outlets , usbs, and a couple 12 v outlets, you will have way more power and if the battery goes bad just replace it , and you don't have to toss the whole thing, you can't replace the battery in just about all of these power stations, but you can pick up a battery at any auto parts store
You are sooo right! I've wanted to do that but not having the savvy (as a senior female) I'm leaning towards a power station...but so many of them seem like junk from RedChi!!! :(
I do like the Dakota Lithiums .... wish I could figure out how to use one as a power station....
Just one More thing.. Thanks for your videos. I really appreciate you and them. I have the Vtoman 1500. For the most part it's an ok power station. However, after having it for just about 4 months, (Hindsight) I probably would not have purchased it. There is something going on with the inverter so that when I plug in a 30 watt light, it "Flickers" occasionally. My EcoFlow River, BougeRV, and Bluetti don't. So in my personal humble opinion, I can't recommend it. I may be wrong, but in the end, "You get what you pay for.."
Yeah sounds like something is amiss. Have you reached out to them about it?
@@ReeWrayOutdoors No sir, it just started. I'm going to contact them tomorrow. If I hear from them I'll let you know..🙂 Thanks again for the videos..
ReeWray: This looks like a very good value for the money. I am wondering if you could comment on two concerns from by reviewers (most of the reviews were positive otherwise): One concern was that the included ac/dc charging unit heated to a temperature of 215 degrees Fahrenheit, which could potentially be a safety concern. The other is the lack of customer response when emailing the posted customer service contact email address. Thanks in advance for your time and feedback on this.
As far as my experience goes, I've only queried their customer support a couple of times with questions, but in both cases they replied within 1 or 2 business days. And I did notice that the AC adapter did get hot, but no where near 215 deg as I was able to hold it in my hand without being burned... so definitely not 215 deg, and this was after a full recharge from fully depleted.
@@ReeWrayOutdoors That is helpful, thank you. Do you feel that the heat level that you experienced (though lower than what I mentioned) was typical (and safe) for power stations being charged from full depletion?
I think it is fairly typical...at least what I experienced. I will say that the AC adapter brick doesn't FEEL cheap like some do. It at least feels like it's well built and not made of cheap brittle plastic. It's got some heft to it. Some details for you: The AC adapter outputs 24v @ 7.5A (180W) and the output cable is ~3ft long and 16 awg. So technically, it can handle 10A. That cable does get warm to the touch, but not really 'hot'. I'd have preferred that they used 14 awg, but it's within spec so.... I'm not expecting issues. I hope that helps.
@@ReeWrayOutdoors That is very helpful. I will still consider the product based on your comments. I am impressed that they use a better quality Lithium ion cell than brands like Jackery and therefore have many more life cycles (though of course not as much as an LiFe PO4 station).
@@ReeWrayOutdoors How long does it take to recharge to full from the AC source.
Sir this is the first video of yours I have seen. Your presentation is great but what you failed to tell me in these 17+ minutes is how these machines function in a real world situation such as how long these units would run my refrigerator and sump pump with a fan and a couple lights if I lost power in a summer storm.
I do so many of these power station reviews that sometimes I make the assumption that people have seen other videos where I've gotten into these particular details. I did do a video over the summer that gets into how to figure out how much battery capacity you need (for whatever you're looking to do). You can check it out here if you think that might interest you: ua-cam.com/video/nGG0Hnv9p50/v-deo.html
I was hoping you would do a charging test from dead to 100% on solar and give us the time. Only 200W input seems a little low for this power station. I looked at their 1800W version and it is still limited to 200W...yikes. So, just a suggestion for future videos. Please include charging time. It's not listed on Vtoman's site either whereas Bluetti does list theirs.
Anyways, seeing what you got on Vtoman and moreso Jackery makes me feel better about my Bluetti EB70s where I get about 135-142W under best conditions.
Definitely a fair point. I agree that 200W is very tight for a 1000Wh+ power station. I'd really prefer to see 400-600W input max. And yeah, I'll be including practical solar charge times going forward, for sure.
DUDE!!!!!....SOLD!!!! 🤘🤘🤘
I’ll take dependability over better specs any day, Pecron has better specs for less as well, but I’ve had multiple units fail from them over a short period of time. I haven’t had any dependability issues with Jackery yet.
This is more of an informercial for the VTOMAN Jump 1000, so they wont pat attention to your comment even though it's facts.
Sorry to hear you've had issues with Pecron. Definitely unfortunate. And I certainly don't disagree that dependability trumps specs every.single.time. But.... I haven't had any issues with either my Pecron E2000 or my VTOMAN Jump 1000 (and I do use them both regularly), so my experience has apparently been quite different. Still, I do appreciate hearing about your experience, contrary to what Mr. Saucedo seems to be assuming.
Ahhh damn it I don’t have $700 to spend right now. Someone remind me November of 2023 to check again that’s two months from now.
Just buy a lithium batter, stick it in a box, put some outlets on it an inverter and a charger and save a whole lot of $$$$. It’s just a fancy battery.
If you're curious (like me)...these output 10 amps of power through each of the AC outlets. Not sure if you can combine the 2 outlets for 20 amps but I suspect not. So this is probably not a good solution for RVers who need a full 30-50 amps to run AC and other systems.
FYI You can jump a car with a Jackery and it does take some time but not hours. I jumped my son's car w/a J240 and it only needed about 5-10 minutes
True - but it's not really 'jumping' in that case...it's pre-charging the battery. Semantics...the result is the same: running car! :) The video I just posted on the Pecron E2000LFP doesn't mention it, but Pecron also sells a set of alligator clamps attached to a 12V car adapter that will do the same thing...just not 'technically' jump-starting a car.
Thanks for that review and coupons, I just purchased the VTOMAN jump 1500 on Amazon for $755 out the door! Now how much solar panel power do I need to go with that 1500?
Hi Maureen! I think you'll love this thing. As far as how much solar power do you need, keep in mind that the max DC input is 200W, and it's fairly common to typically see only about 80% of rated output on solar panels under 'typical' conditions. So sun/sky conditions where you live are pretty favorable, I think a single 200W panel would be a good choice. If you often have only partial sun, you might consider adding a 2nd 200W panel. If you DO opt for 2 panels, just take care to ensure they have the same voltage and Amps output specs so that when you combine them, you're getting the most out of them. If you combine panels with different specs, you'll put a lot of stress on the lower outputting panel and it will dumb-down your overall output, so I'd avoid that. :) I hope that helps!
Sold out
I am curious about the weight difference between the two.
wow,thats a great deal $600!
Hi. Can use both inputs simultaneously? Example, connect ac adapter on each one to charge fast as possible
I don’t understand the solar connectors/Anderson, but the other?
If I have 2 how do I (pig back) what and where for that connector?
I am testing m Jump1500 with backup battery attached and have my deep freeze and garage fridge plugged in. It is shutting off automatically at some point? This is a hot garage with two fullsize appliances. The battery is being used so I am not sure why it is shutting off. Please advise?
