@@Jean.A.squirrel thank you!
I like your level headed fact based presentations
So easy these days to get all chicken little
Do I still have to sign up if I am already receiving you email newsletter?
Great detail and compressed information, thank you.
However, I am wondering if there is a particular reason you do not include the RENOGY Brand in your assessments, other than you just can't review every brand available?
I just purchased 3 of their 80w foldable panels and they work great, I also bought the Phoenix 500 lithium ion power box and am pleased also. Granted I've not even had them a full week. It took me ages, literally a couple years to jump in to this market after a so-so experience with the first little one I bought, a GoLabs 300 in 2019.
The RENOGY were all on sale and that was my push.
Plus, they been in business for a decade or so, and that sat well with me.
Anyway would love to hear your thoughts on this brand, if any.
Thank You, Kris, for all you do, as always, MUCH appreciated! Cheers
Nice work on the video. Let me know when your ready to move to Zidaho
This video is a prime example why these companies send you so many goods to review AND your subscription numbers have grown as fast as they have ….. thorough and complete information presented in such a way that we understand. Kris, thanks for all you do for us!!!
I appreciate that!
Aaaand he gives out a pair of gloves $10-40 each week. He has a sweet collection of stuff he has gotten from sponsors. A million subscribers earns you lots of incentive to review anything.
I would have a field day just watching all your generators do their thing…😂
_"This video is a prime example why these companies send you so many goods to review"_
Cuz getting free stuff doesn't create any incentive to give good reviews to keep the gravy train rolling🙄
@@kevinjohnson1139 and the icing on the cake is recommending solar panels that cost $10/w!
Although an obviously HUGE amount of work went into this - we really do appreciate the time and work. In the past I've been so overwhelmed trying to learn about solar energy I haven't actually moved to buy anything. This is an enormous help, thank you!
You are smart to do your research. My Dad jumped in too quickly and bought a terrible, outdated unit because he thought it was made in the USA and he saw a commercial for it.
Thank you for the information . We'll done on researching the equipment
I agree. One thing I found recently is Walmart is offering the Buetti AC200P for $1119 now - about $180 less than Bluetti. And Bluetti fulfills the order.
Agreed, I have lost count of the times I've almost bought one and then second guessed myself into oblivion. lol
information overload
I have a consistent brain block when it comes to understanding all this, but I always turn to you to help me get it into my brain. As always, I am gobsmacked by the bizarre amount of research and foot work you do on these videos. Thank you.
Dude… I’ve been watching solar and battery videos everyday for the past 2 months and your little explanation of watt hours just made everything click!! Finally thanks
So which one are you buying or boughg
Same… took me a while to finally find someone to speak my language! 😅
Kris, this video is the GOLD STANDARD for solar generator reviews: very well articulated, sharp, short, straight to the point, no bullshit, no repeating same informations over and over, thorough testing sheets, highly competent. I'm freaking loving your excellent work!
Thank you!
Blown away at the details you’ve supplied us with and easy to understand explanation. Absolutely the best bar none, thank you for sharing 🎉
For someone that needs a book, "Solar Power for Dummies", your reviews are educational and contain the information I need to understand which unit will best serve my family. Thanks, so much!
Real good video, man. I'm at that point in my prepping that I need to dig into the power generator and solar panels. Really appreciate the dedication and hard work you put in on this. Helps so many of us!
Do you read your bible. All this prepping wont help you survive Armageddon. Jesus is coming soon.
Thank you for re-uploading this. I was beginning to think it was just me having the sound problems since nobody else had said anything when I commented. :) I didn't want to miss any of the video! So much good information and I'm glad you include warranty/customer service and cost rather than only looking at technical specs.
Thank you for covering this again. I have your spreadsheet from an older video. This is one of the prepper items I’ve held off from purchasing. Your overview and spreadsheet is fantastic. Thanks again. 🎉
The way you describe electric devices and circuits is second to none. Its simple, easier to understand than many others who attempt to describe electricity, and you mention the key points needed to understand this topic more thoroughly. Very thankful for your content. Thank you!
I just realized I robbed myself by not subscribing the first time I watched your video. Here I am again, and I just saw the wealth of information you have collected and are sharing. Your video is like a dozen reviews rolled into one, and now I'm robbing you. I have subscribed, liked, commented, and downloaded the spreadsheet!
I’ve watched all your solar generator videos and taken a lot of info in about them. I will mention even with battery expansion you are still only limited to what the unit can support no matter the amount of storage. I decided to get a second unit rather then the expansion battery since it doubled amount of devices, and the amount of charging which reduces the overall draw off one unit. Pecron stood out to me by price point, storage, and charging. 1300 watts charging in less then 2 hours at peak. I will add the panels come with 16 foot cords so your generator can be safely inside the house. Again thank you for all that you do. Looking forward to your next video.
😊
How’s your generator working for you
Thank you for providing all of these info and providing the summary spreadsheet without forcing your audience sign up for anything before allowing download. This is a truly genuine video content with loads of information.
I came to your channel for the reviews and, quite frankly, stayed for the spreadsheets. You really are doing great work here.
I am grateful for this video. You go above and beyond in your research, testing and generosity in sharing your info. Thank you!
I have a tremendous amount of Anker products in my home, between portable power bricks, to soundcore earbuds, to USB adaptors and so on. I'll say both their quality and customer service has been second to none, so this review putting the 767 on top doesn't completely surprised me as I've been eyeballing that unit since it was released and watching many reviews. I'll say I'm glad my own research was confirmed through this review as I respect your channel and content immensely. You have the rare talent of simplifying technical information into a format that's consumable for everybody. Thank you for what you do.
I have been using the 767 for about a month. Absolutely love it.
Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts on Anker products! It's always great to hear positive feedback about a brand's quality and customer service. I completely understand the importance of reliable and durable gear, especially for outdoor enthusiasts like us.Speaking of quality, have you checked out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It seems like a fantastic option for outdoor activities and home backup power. With its massive capacity, fast recharging, and waterproof technology, it could be a valuable addition to your collection of outdoor gear. Keep up the great work on your research and happy camping!
I recently bought the Anker 767 and was greatly impressed with it. We also have the Ecoflow River 2 Max which is my go-to device for a very compact and light unit.
I’m so thankful for finding your channel, I’m 64 and don’t know a thing about any of this, hope to get one for my tiny home to keep my freezer going , thank you for your time, God Bless
Thanks, Kris for researching and spending your time for us to understand and choose a solar generator for our needs. Keep the good work!
Thanks Kris for all the great info on the spreadsheet. I downloaded it and can't wait to see which one will work best for me. Thanks for all your (and your teams) hard work in putting this together. Stay safe and take care.
Thanks for all you do to keep US informed. I purchased a couple of different products a few years ago now there are so many more to choose from and so much more to know to make better choices. At 75 still learning Thanks for your time and efforts to help us out appreciated
This has to be the most in-depth coverage of all power stations. Great job!
Excellent review and comparison. Even though I have the Delta Max 2000, the Pecron still stands out for simplicity and price! Thanks for your hard work sir.
You always do great reviews. I got my Bluetti AC200Max about 1 1/2 years ago. It's saved me through 2 power outages already powering my 7 cu ft freezer and 18 cu ft fridge overnight. I have about 800 W of solar panels. I was on the list for an Inergy 1500 expandable charger, but there was a substantial shipping delay the ship date, it was only 1500 W and was Lithium Ion, not LiFePo4 so I went with the Bluetti kick starter. I'm sure there's newer and better units today, but I got what I need. Thanks again for all your Videos!
I got the same one when it was released too, still waiting for the day it saves me though haha.
How much you spend on the equipments
@@dreyes8948 I think the Bluetti AC200 MAX was $ 1699 when I bought it. I also bought 4 Ecoworthy 195 W solar panels for $ 180 each. One of the panels was destroyed by FedEx so I returned it.
A very timely video. I was without power today for 5 hours due to wildfires here in Oklahoma City. I'm going to make good use of this info. Thanks.
Very impressive analysis.
This kind of analysis is usually behind a paywall.
Thank You for taking the time to share this.
Another reason I love this channel. I've recently been looking into generators and then this video pops up for me at the most opportune moment. You are a life saver Kris, thank you again for all you do.
Impressive in depth review Chris. Thank you so much for all you do for the community.
This is the most professional review I watched in a very long time. Well done and big thanks!
I’m so grateful that you provided a newly updated video as so many new companies have joined the market and also new releases from trusted manufacturers. Thank you for the update Chris!
Thank you Kris, for taking the time for this video. Your review and explanations was easy to understand and to the point. The spreadsheet is beneficial to all of us. Thanks again to you and your crew.
Very, very helpful, Kris!!! Love this channel! Thanks for all the hard work you put into it. It is eye-opening to hear all the news that the mainstream media leaves out… as well as new areas where I need to strengthen my prepping. Thanks again, Kris, for all the work you put in to this! 👍👍
Thank you for your kind words and support! I'm glad to hear that you found the video helpful. The Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series is definitely a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts like us. With its massive capacity, powerful output, and fast recharging capabilities, it's perfect for powering all our devices and appliances during camping trips or even as a home backup power solution. Plus, its waterproof technology and comprehensive protections ensure reliability in any weather condition. Keep enjoying your outdoor adventures and quality family time!
Im a huge PECRON fan. I have 2 of their products and cant be more pleased with them. And their customer service is great. If you register their products you also get a 2nd year warranty.
Your spreadsheet is AMAZING! I did just verify that both the CPAP (ResMed) machines in this household are 90 watt, according to the inverter power source cord. If your spreadsheet were editable, it would be of even greater use to those of us DIYers out here! Thank you!
Thank you for condensing a vast amount of complicated information into what is important and what options exist. I am just starting to explore this topic and this is the gold mine I was looking for.
Thank you for taking the time to do this for your audience
These are some of my favorite videos you do Chris. Power is the last missing link I need in my preps. Garden this year is going to be epic!
Even better than last year’s assessment! Thank you so much!
I’m pretty sure you are the best communicator of technical information that I’ve ever heard.
In 1993 I made a 1500 W solar generator that used a high capacity lead acid battery. The cost me $500 (odyssey battery) and I showcased it on national television in Canada live for 15 minutes. It’s amazing how the world has evolved.
That’s awesome, my grandparents had the side of their house covered in solar panels when I lived with them in the late eighties and early nineties .
Source?
Breakfast television in 1998
Amazing video that goes above and beyond any other information out there… Thank you Kris for all your effort for the community!
I will always be greatful for your spread sheets. I know how much time goes into testing and data collection to make them. I am relatively new to solar and have a tiny EB3A for camping but we have recently realized that we need something for very basic needs at home as well mostly for the frigid and freezer ( we have propane for cooking and heat)..🤞🏻 I will be looking at the Pecron . As always thank you Kris
Love how you break it down for all of us! I trust your knowledge. 😊
Amazing amount of information packed into this video. Putting it in my save category for PREPPING.
Thank you for doing this video! I’ve watched each one of your solar generator videos, downloaded your spreadsheet and really appreciate the time and effort you put in to these reviews! I’ve been really interested the eco flow delta pro and because of price have been considering the new Anker option recently..
Thanks again for all your work on producing this information. This is the size range I think will fit my needs best, especially the units with expansion capability. I had been looking at the new Anker and you have moved me closer to my decision, hopefully in the next few months.
AWESOME video Kris!! Thanks for taking the time to do this. We are considering one of these, and your video was a huge help!🤘😎
Wow, best 36 minutes I have ever spent watching a review video! Thant you so much, I was torn because I had no idea what much of the stuff means. Thank you!
I deeply agree with you about ANKER they are exceptional!
Considering the tight Market between Bluetti and Zachary now that they're in the running.
Sincerely appreciate your reviews and always look forward to your opinion on various equipment. I would love to have the Anker, but at this point it's a little pricey, but an excellent alternative for my needs as a senior, newly-retired and looking for solar options to run my used RV.
Zachary? Jackery perhaps?
Excellent content, great job as always, providing detailed information so that your followers can make educated decisions simply and quickly in these interesting times.
Been needing this video - so confusing on which to buy . Thanks for making the overview and spreadsheet - will now add a solar generator to our prepping!
Wow thank you so much for all the details and hard work you put into this production. ❤❤❤
Well explained, Chris. So helpful for someone who is on the solar learning curve. Just the information I needed. Thanks!
Thank you for doing a deep review, sir. Very informative.
This is an incredible in depth video for someone who loves to go deep into the numbers, exactly what I was looking for and saved me so much time in research. Earned an new sub!
Outstanding research, comparison of products and presentation. I have forwarded this to 7000 people. We all thank you!
I absolutely love my EcoFlow Delta Pro, with portable solar panels. I love this company's products!
Have you had it hooked up to the house? And how long(hr) did you get out of it with the solar. ? Thanks
I now have a Delta Pro with 2 additional backup batteries. I had an Ecoflow transfer switch installed with six 120 volt circuits available. That provides me with about 13 kwh of power (I believe). Your energy needs may be very different than mine. I am particularly concerned with hurricane blackouts, since I live in Florida. I have 580 watts of portable solar panels, which is skimpy. But it fits my needs. Great products!
Thanks Kris for all of the work that’s gone into this video, you’ve shown us very useful information!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job putting this together - saved me a ton of time running everything down. Thank you!
Your so easy to understand, speak clearly and great English communication thank you
Hi Kris, this video came at the perfect time. I need desperately a generator. Turns out, living in a cabin in the woods is not as sexy as it sounds lol lots of work and having a generator it’s a must and you did a great job with this video. FP
Thank you for doing this, I loved last years review and have been saving to get one. This video had perfect timing as I am hoping to be able to afford something within a few months! Thanks for everything you do and all the time you put into your videos! May God share his Blessings with you, your family and loved ones!
This video and the commentary was amazing. I knew nothing about solar generators and feel like I have a much stronger baseline and understanding. He kept it interesting and I didn't loose interest. Thank you
Started with the EcoFlow River Max in spring of 2021. Loved it for running the Iceco fridge (VL60S) and charging small devices (phone, tablet, smartwatch). Only issue was putting out the solar panel every other day and running the risk of not having power (and ruined food) if it was cloudy for more than a day. Upgraded to the Delta Max in December 2022, just before the Delta 2 hit the market. It runs my fridge and allows me to take my Keurig with me as well. Delta Max runs the fridge and coffee machine, River Max for charging the phone, tablet, AirPods and smartwatch. I've been camping with these two power stations for 5 days and still have 30-40% left on both upon returning home, without having to put out the solar panels even once. It has proven to be the perfect combo for my off grid camping needs.
What solar panel do you have I have the eco flow river ad a 215 watt off grid trek solar blanket to run my arb fridge.
Thanks for an un-biased, and very comprehensive review.
These devices have come a long way, and are innovating at a rapid pace.
The solar blankets seem promising, as well. Would like more information on them.
Bless you, Kris! Thanks so much for all the work you put in for us!
This is the best review, transparent and with amazing excel. Can thank you more for sharing this amazing sheet with the world. It would have taken days if not weeks to develop this tool. Hats off 🎉 and thank you.
Wow, great work. Thanks for taking time to to break this down. What a difference a couple years make to this market. It really makes me want to hold off until next year but that’s not a risk I want to take. A good system now is better than the great system I don’t have yet.
And with inflation and supply chain shortages having one now is cheaper and better than not getting one at all later.
The way u broke this down….. i know feel like an expert. Amazing!
This is what I been looking for. Someone that can explain with practical ways I can calculate "MY" needs! Took only six mins in for a lightbulb to ping in my head. THANKS!
Thanks for the very thorough review Chris and very timely, I was just about to place an order for the Jackery 200O Pro but I think I’m going to give the Anker some serious thought now and put the Jackery on hold. I have had nothing but good results with all the products I’ve purchased from Anker in the past and was pleased to find out about this unit, I’m based in the UK so just hoping it’s available here. Keep up the great work you do.
I backed EcoFlow during their very first kickstarter around 2019. It was the Delta 1400 and backers got a lifetime warranty. Had mine replaced after discovering that using it to power a 1000 watt PC while connected to a power outlet ended up degading the battery. I use it for everything else since and still love mine to this day.
Interesting wasn't it marketed as a UPS
@@MotorCityMetalArtno it was marked as a emergency back up generator, not a ups
That's because it's not a ups, why did you buy a 3000$ emergency back up generator as a ups when it's not marketed as such?
@@everythingpony They actually advertised it as a tool that can work as a UPS during the Kickstarter. Also, how did you come across the $3000 figure? Not even the retail price is that much for the OD delta. I paid about $1300 CAD for it as an early bird offer.
Super excited about this video. I learned so much that I never knew before. Thank you for doing all the hard work and making it easy for us to make an informed decision.
So glad this was a human-made comparison video and not an Ai-generated Amazon ad
Incredible review. Thank-you.
With all the different Solar Generators out there, your information and testing is truly appreciated. Like you, my choice is decided by my needs. Pecron offers a lot for a budget mind. But that Anker Powerhouse with the expanded battery looks really nice and what I should aim for. Thank you for your work and sharing.
wow what a coincidence. i have been thinking about how i need a straightforward video on the best solar generator but the rest are older. perfect timing for a video like this its like my mind gets read sometimes
Amazing analysis and research. Thank you for freely giving us the spreadsheet!
Thank you for the effort to put this together. I was hoping that you would address the 12v charging capability of each unit, and whether you can use each unit while charging.
Chris thanks for a well thought out video. My personal favorite is the Bluetti ac 500 for many of the same reasons you like anchor. Alternate power resources are likely to become more of a necessity than a luxury in all of our futures.
Wow…that spreadsheet is gold. Im Going to spend some serious time studying it. Thanks for the hard work it takes to put that together!
I like the video before even watching. These videos you make can save so many, and we all appreciate that. Thank you so much for saving my family
I was interested in seeing what you said about the Point Zero Titan. I have had this unit for 2 years and just got my 5th battery for it. What I love about it is that it is so simple to use, especially in an emergency situation. I, personally, don't want all the bells and whistles. It is heavy, but it is easy taken apart for transporting. We use it on our RV when boon docking. We went on a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains last week for 7 days and 6 nights. We have 200Ah of lithium batteries on our RV. We plugged the RV into the Titan with 4 batteries (turning off the house converter). At the end of the week, we had 28% of the house batteries left and 48% of Titan left. Next time, I will only take 3 Titan batteries. Thanks for your review of all these machines.
You would want the flex solar panels so you would not need to take that many batteries with you., or instal 5-7 rigid panels., for air conditioning it would be useful to have that many batteries.
If I need information on prepping, this is one of my top choices for equipment recommendations. Chris, your thorough reviews are exceptional. The main reason I love your opinions is that you don't sell products through your site. Recommendations, yes. But when a site sells supplies or equipment, they have a built-in bias towards those products, you don't, and I respect you immensely for that. Could I suggest a future video addressing how you'd deal with a power grid or internet going down for an extended time and if any generator would work whet SHTF?😊
Yes that's what we are looking for.. something solar for a complete shutdown of society.. That would be a great vid.
Thank you for the very informative video. Makes it so much easier to make an informative decision on what generator to get. I appreciate all the hard work going into the content of your videos and the information that they have.
This was a great video. I appreciate you breaking it down for us in the community. There are a lot of good generators in this video. You have helped me reassess my preps and helped me determine which one I will get in the near future.
Actually Bluetti AC 200p is expandable and also has an auxiliary DC charging component add on to increase the charging by an additional 500 watts.
Yes, I second this
Great Video... Thanks
I appreciate all of your hard work in making this video
Man I always enjoy these videos, solar and generators is probably one of my favourite things to watch haha. Keep it up Kris!
I'm new in this stuff. I'm not even close to know anything about electricity or electrician stuff... And I can say that the EcoFlow is the friendliest easiest device to start with. Specially with the solar panel. They just make it so easy and simple.
I have a generator that runs off of propane and it runs my entire farm but after listening to you, it might be worth investing into a backup to my backup 😊
When you are out of gas, you are powerless 😮😊
Depending on what load level you run it at, might be way more fuel efficient to use it to charge some batteries instead.
@@mauimixer6040 he should build a woodgas generator, best kept secret
One is none ;)
Back away from the computer.
This is one of the most in-depth reviews on solar generators definitely helped me focus in which one imma buy.. thanks 🙏🏾
Definitely appreciate all of the research, explanations and additional resources you've put together with this!
Great video, You can see a lot of work went into this. It would be nice to see these units hooked up to an occilisocpe while under load. It's amazing how many of these ''high end' units produce power with a THD greater than 5%.
All of these run perfect sine waves.
Wow, that was a lot of information. In 2022 I bought two of my 4 children the Pecron after your initial review. My son loves it and uses it daily to power the TV and the gaming station his kids use. He also asked for a second solar panel and as of now he couldn’t be happier. I also bought my youngest daughter the Jackery, it is nice and light and they do camp a lot living in the mountains of Colorado. The only thing that was disappointing was the charging cycles. It only has 500 before it decreases where as the Pecron has 3500. Lastly I bought my oldest daughter the Bluetti because we are sending my RV to her in Alaska and it has the 30 amp plug in. As of now it is still in the box so I can’t give a review. I do know it is heavy and I can hardly move it around. Her husband will have no problems with it. I also bought the 600 watt Bluetti to send them as well since they do go ice fishing and camping a lot in Alaska. The hard part with them living in Alaska is I couldn’t find anyone who would ship to them, that is why we are taking the RV up there to enjoy through the summer and get the Solar Generators to them. All in all, it has been your recommendations that have helped me order these generators. Now all I need to do is figure out the best one for me and my 87 year old mother. But your videos have helped me understand so much more about solar generators and caused me to decide that all 4 of my children need one. Thank You again for all your wonderful videos. Be Blessed.
Fantastic video. I appreciate how the information was related as well as the links and listing in the description. Well played player
Thanks for all you do.
Tell everyone to get extra garden seeds. Sometimes you have to replant. We just got 3-4 inches of hail with 1 inch rain.
Re-plant
Great video!
I’m curious if it’s possible to combine a permanent roof-mounted rigid solar panel with a portable:fold out panel to charge these units?
I only have room for one 100w roof panel, but would like the option to double it at a campsite with a portable panel.
Thanks for this awesome video, so helpful!
