- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มี.ค. 2021
- With Jackery being the top brands for Overlanders when looking at a portable power station to power a fridge, we take a look at the Jackery Explorer 1000 and compare it to its little brother, the Jackery Explorer 500, and see which one is the better option for Overlanders and how well it works as a home emergency backup power option. We also look at the Jackery SolarSaga 100 solar panels.

Need it? No. Want it? YES! :)
In case of an emergency... You will love it!!! ❤️
@@JoeDplummer_ I couldn’t agree more. I’ve got the 500 and love it! 👍
“It is better to have and not need, than to need and not have” 💯
then you do need it, to get rid of your wanting it problem. haha
The flashlight does have one very functional use: hold down the button and it goes into SOS mode and can be seen from a pretty good distance.
@American Proud Ooops!! Just think...You're life could have dependant on it. 🤔😐
I have 1000, 500, 300, 240 I know some people would think this is over kill but there was a power outage that we experienced that lasted for two days and we were able to keep the refrigerator and our large frizzer going, we didn’t lose any food and were still able to charge our electronic devices. I had all my solar panels charging each unit every day.
I believe that with good planning you can make it through difficult times.
Great video thank You for sharing.
YOUR COMMENT ON THE JACKERY 1000. You mentioned that you were able to run your refrigerator and large freezer with this device. I literally know nothing about solo and in desperate need really quickly. My question is what type and how many solar panels do I need? I am totally lost
I purchased plug covers for the AC, usb and usb-c ports to keep dust and debris out for my Jackery 1000. Easy to find online.
We have used the th-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!
No fuel is needed so that's odd.
Great comprehensive test man! You’re probably the only one ive seen in the few weeks ive been looking at this product! Great job
Love all the stuff that it could run. Definitely on my wish list
Great video. This’s exactly the type of review I was looking for. Thank you.
Really liked seeing different appliances rated. Thank you
👏🏽👏🏽 You answered all my questions . Ordering the 1000 Thanks so much .Awesome presentation 👍🏽😃
Awesome review. Always glad when you review things I’m interested in buying.
Thanks! I hope they help.
Neat review, I love the tests on different house gadgets.
good job...I have both but still found this helpful, keep them coming Matt!
Thanks Bro!
This thing is awesome. Great job showing the flexibility of the Jackary 1000. Adding this to my wish list.
Thanks!!
Hello from Fayetteville, NWA. Great video. Thanks for your time and testing different appliances and tools. Very helpful. Subbed.
Thanks for the video you made me a believer ordered my jackery 1000 right after watching this video it coming Tuesday needed for my coffee maker thank you again and happy holidays 🙏
Great real-world review. Appreciate it.
So I showed the wife the HAIR DRYER working on the Jackery 1000 so now I can put that on our wish list. Gotta love a person than hates to wear shoes! I enjoy your watching all your content!!
LOL!! Thanks!!
Great video as all ways. Thank you for your time and info. I have the 240 jackery and i love it. I want the 1000 really bad.take care and stay safe.
Thanks!!
Very helpful, thanks for sharing your results. 👍
One of the best videos on the subject. Super helpful. Thank You!
Awesome! Thank you.
We love our Jackery!!!! Great video! ❤️🐞
Thank you!! 😊
Very detailed and I have been enlightened! Thank you..
Have had the 500 a couple of weeks, perfect for my needs!👏🏼👊🏼
So glad I just ordered the J 1000. Okies usually lose our power, even if it's for just hours. But days some winters. And I also bought Harbor Freight 100w solar panels. Much better prepared this winter. Great video. Thanks.
Excellent review!!!! This was an extensive real world usage review that i was looking for. I’m planning on buying the 1000 model and take it with me to a part of the world where they don’t have electricity running 24/7. I will mostly be using it for charging my cell phone and my laptop. Once again great job!!!
I appreciate and love the LED light plus it's SOS feature.
I call this a real review! Good job.
Real helpful and you did a great job on your review… I have the 1000 thinking of getting another
That was super informative! Thx!
Although the Jackery Explorer 1000 can’t power the heater; you can use a electric blanket that will be more efficient and last longer. I think that Jackery is going to launch their new and much more powerful unit soon this March. We’ll see what Jackery is going to offer this time around. Great video by the way.
Thanks. We have an electric blanket that we use. I'm anxious to see what Jackery announces next week.
@Noah Custer that’s what I’m expecting. But I’m curious to see the new technology. They are supposed to have much faster charge times too.
Hi there could I ask a question please. I am looking to buy a solar powered generator for myself as I am on my own and live in Ireland and would not be surprised if there will be power cuts soon as they have been hinting at it. So, I rent right now but do also have some land. I would be looking for something portable that could sustain just a couple of appliances but also if push came to shove might be able to run a mini fridge say. I was recommended Power Oak 700. Is this the same as the Bluetti? Somebody said it was. I am a musician so The jackery also seems more portable if I was to use it for busking in the meantime also. Any and all of your advice would be appreciated. Thank you so much
How would you calculate how long the bakery 1000 last powering a electric blanket.
Great video! I agree with your point about the Jackery 1000 not being able to power a heater. An electric blanket is definitely a more efficient option. Can't wait to see what Jackery has in store for their new unit. Speaking of portable power stations, have you checked out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It offers massive capacity, fast recharging, and versatile sockets. It might be worth considering for your outdoor adventures and home backup power needs. Keep up the great content!
I got a 500 and love it.
I thought those lights on the jackery are stupid till one day we lost power at our house and needed to hook up our lamp up and turning that light against a wall really brightens up the room to see and hook up electronics.
Awesome video thanks!!!!!👌
Thank you for the video!
Yes… more is better always. Get both . I have 2 jackery 290 and going to get a 1500 . They’re great prices of equipment to have, great video thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the review. I just got a Jackery 1000 explorer. Have not used it yet. Now I have more ideas what I can use it for. Hopefully rv ac. Happy New Year from California
Good job Sr! Thanks a lot!
You are welcome!
Just brought the 1000 … Awesome 😎
GREAT video,, Thank you
The 1000 watt is looking better and better :) thanks!
Great video! I have the Jackery 1000, picked it up late last year when Jackery was running a sale. I haven't had much of an opportunity to really use it yet, that will happen soon (but not soon enough!). I've got an ICECO VL60 dual-zone fridge that will be the primary consumer but I also want to be able to run some form of heat in the cooler weather if needed, be it a diesel heater, 12v blankets, etc. If I could find the "ideal" diesel heater setup then that would be perfect since that would help fight or eliminate condensation in the RTT. There are just so many diesel heater options out there (I say that but really they seem to be rebrands or copies of each other from China in terms of budget heaters) with mixed reviews it makes it a little difficult to pull the trigger. If anyone has recommendations for a solid, self-contained diesel heater that they've had good luck with then I'm all ears. Lack of heat has been the biggest reason why we haven't gone out since last fall.
Thanks! I've looked into the Diesel heaters and was overwhelmed just like you. I do think they are all pretty much the same though. I keep hearing good things about them.
Fantastic video but now I have buyer’s remorse of the Goal Zero 500x. Wish I had paid slightly more and picked up the Jackery 1000w. Maybe next year I can buy one.
Excellent
Thanks so much
Great video, I can tell you enjoyed making this one. Lol
Now I want one
Appreciate ya!!!
I wanted to know what size would run my 55" TCL Roku TV with all the daily 4 hour plus power rationing in #Venezuela and you were by far THE BEST! Thank you.. The 300W one seems ok for up to 3 hours you said 🤔
You always do objective, thorough, and knowledgable comparison and opinion videos! Are you an educator, by trade?
Thanks!! I do have a background in training.
I think if one wants to keep all ancillary power use away from the power available in their vehicle, the best thing is to buy the biggest one of these units they can afford.
Hey bud, thanks you a lot for the video, please can you try both with a big vacuum cleaner to see if it works?
12:19 Keep in mind there's no load on that impact driver, if you don't have something to put it under load then take a look at the power draw on the tool itself. It's probably 7A so under load it could draw close to 850w. Still nothing the Jackery 1000 can't handle!
Good thought. I may check that out over lunch just to see.
It won’t run my 1/4 drill when driving 3” screws
@@rogerknight2267 waaaaaahhhh!!! 😭😭
Great video, I think I seen an orb at 16:15 to 16:19
Don't forget that the InstantPot is a great companion for the Jakery 1000. You can cook a great Strogonoff or a delicious Spanish rice using the Jakery 1000. Also inductive cook-tops works great with the J1000. 👍 Also, I like to mention the J1000 can hold 1200 watts loads indefinitely. Isn't that cool !!! 👍✨
Thanks for the info!
Any size instant pot, or just the 4qt? We have an 8qt and 6qt. I don't know if they use the same amount of power..
@@Ziji-LetYourSoulShine - All Intant-Pot have the same heating element (1000Watts) just the cooking time will be longer depending on the amount of food you're preparing.
Are you joking? Ok grandpa. It’s a shame you don’t like camping.
Especially going camping for a week at a time
I need it and I want it so this grandma can use it for lights, charging camera cell phone and other things.
When you plug a window air conditioner, or I’m guessing rooftop A/C unit into a power source, it won’t turn on the compressor for 3 minutes. It does this in case there’s been a power outage. If you were drawing less than 200 watts with the rooftop unit plugged in, most likely only the blower was running. You should have waited a few minutes for the compressor to cycle on. Most A/C units have very high current draw on startup. Maybe more than even the Jackery 1000 can handle.
I was thinking the same thing. Waiting for the compressor to kick in.
It was only fan running low and high speed. Compressor will pull more amps
Awesome, always wanted to know if it would run real home size stuff. Thanks
🤔 Yes
The 2000 Pro Kit is awesome. 2.5hr recharge off 6 solar panels or 2hr off mains. At 2,160 Wh capacity, 2,200W AC power and 4,400W peak power,
WE HAVE A 1500 AND LOVE IT.
Thank you for the test. For running your fridge, it seems that 2 500's provide more hours (112 vs 90 something) than one 1000 for about the same cost. Is that correct based on your experience?
Hi, glad I just came across your channel. I am getting into a Ford Transit for “full time “ living at least for 3-4 months at a time. Since it’s something new for me I was thinking getting the Jackary 1000 with the 2 solar panels to have capacity for a fridge, one burner induction stove, heating blanket, charging phone and pad. My question is if you would go this route or jump right into a full battery package that would give me the option of the other charge alternatives.
I don't think a Jackery 1000 is enough to adequately power all that. Induction stoves and heating blankets use a lot of power. I'd go with a 2000wh option like the Bluetti AC200P or just do it right and do 200ah Lithium batteries and a Redarc BCDC1250 charger. I have a couple videos on my setup and comparing to the Jackery 1000. Those might be helpful.
Big thing I would want camping is a coffee maker. Surprised you didn’t test one but based on this I’m thinking it would probably work.
I don’t drink coffee so I don’t have a way to test it. Lol.
Great
Imma start off with the 500 for now and once I really get my Van life going I will upgrade to 1000 with some solar panels Save save save lol
Positive Comment!!!
Just giving this info for anyone questioning if this is the right power station for your needs here is a list of items that I can power with it: Betty Crocker toaster oven, Elite gourmet electric single burner , Hamilton Beach Flex Brew , moulinex 2 slice toaster, Hamilton Beach electric knife, Kitchen Aid chopper , Black & Decker Electric Rice Cooker, Kitchen Aid 5 speed beaters, Ninja Smart torque smootie bowl machine, pc food processor, Koolentron 12V fridge, Crockpot slow cooker large size, Proctor Silex Hot Pot and Breville Fountain Elite juicer (very powerful). Hope this gives alittle scope of the everyday items it can power easily.
Jackery has a E2000 watt model capable of 800 watts input releasing tomorrow!!
That's what I'm hoping for.
Need more
Helpful video! If we’re overlanding and stop at the same spot for let’s say three days without solar, I guess we’d be better off with the Jackery 1000 to power our fridge?
That would be a good option.
What would you recommend if you need to use every day in your home in an area without electricty to charge fridge, tv, cellphone and maybe 3 standing lamps?
Would also love to know how much energy a nutribullet or magic bullet would pull for smoothies. Thanks!!
Nice overview … What is the name / part # of the adapter to plug in both solar panels? I dot see to on the Jackery website> Thanks …
Now you'll be bringing your hole kitchen with ya on the trail lol.. I heard they were coming out with a 1500 and a 2000 soon.
LOL!! I may pick up a smaller blender. The margaritas on the trail idea sounds really good!!! Jackery is announcing the new models next week. Anxious to see what they come up with.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures yeah another TH-cam channel I watch was talking about the other day. I'd say the 1500 and 2000 would something you'd want to use at home when the power goes out. I think they would be to big to carry with you.
Don't worry my man throw the toaster in there (the camper) with a small fan to circulate it 🤣🤣🤣 all jokes aside tho in a pinch or maybe you find a safer heat source and a fan could be somewhat reliable for weekend trips maybe a week if you can "rough" it in comfort
Good video. I'm trying to decide between the Jackery 1000 and the Bluetti ECOFLOW.
Would like to know how long it would run a 32" TV, cable box and router. Big problem when our lights went out was lack of info. Cell towers were either frozen or overloaded no voice or data possible and texts were taking 3 to 5 minutes to go through. Local radio was on a loop broadcasting the same info every 30 minutes.
I would need to know the power draw of those devices. But it sounds like the Jackery 1000 is the way to go for those needs.
Is there a difference between using the 12volt socket or the ac plug?
Jackery lists the USB-C ports as 12v up to 3A, so 36w, not 18w. Still not 60w like some others, but better than 18w. The USB-A QC 3.0 port is up to 12v and up to 1.5A so that is 18w.
Thanks for that clarification.
Before anyone buys anything I think there is a Jackery event coming up this week (Jackery Days March 17) and they are releasing new products. Just an FYI
Oh, and they really need to get rid of that handle! It's obtrusive. They should make the top flat just like the Japanese models.
Agreed. Excited to see the new models Wednesday
Can you please make a video of how to charge both of these with the 30/50w rv electric hookups that are common in campgrounds. I can't find that info ANYWHERE. Also would love to know how to plug the dometic into one of those power supplies as well so i dont have to use my car or the jackery if we are at a sute with hookups. My kids and I aren't always off grid but these 2 things are biig struggle points. Thanks
Hey! If I want to plug in an electro voice evolve 30 m which is 500 watt rms speaker for a busking on the street for a 4-5 hours is 500eu would be enough ? Thanks
*Those small lights are meant to be a night light not a full blown flashlight or torch.*
Nice review, IYO , whats better to run with 1000 set up, a V12 heat blanket or V120 one? High volts low amps or the other way?
12v for sure! the 120v ones use a lot more power but also get a lot warmer.
great info - i know you were seeing how long it would run but it's not good for the batteries to be depleted to 0% just fyi
I only depleted it once when I tested the fridge. Thanks!
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures I don't own the Jackery, but I was reading the literature a while ago and I seem to recall that it won't allow it to be discharged to the point of damaging the battery. That being said, they all have lifespan based on the number of charge/discharge cycles.
@@williamrohdenburg2548 l
I was shocked that a 500w battery pack powered my daughter's LG linear compressor home fridge for around 9 hours. This was after sitting approximately 3 hours after the power went out before the backup was plugged in. If it had been plugged in earlier and not lost so much temperature due to the 3-hour gap it would have lasted much longer I think. This was also with the Baldr 519w.
What model AC unit did you test on your camper? Im building one now and want to see if I can buy one.
What kind of ac unit? Such low watts, that's the way to go!...........Great video
Thanks. I think it’s a Coleman.
So having a solar panel on hood like the story till now while plugged I think it will be perfect
That would work.
Am new at this the jackery 1000 .I want to run a small refrigerator and freezer I need to know how much solar panels I need for this?
Maybe I'm just missing something.
If you use this to run the air conditioning, or other high draw stuff, the Jac is down to almost nothing in the morning. What do you do when there is no sun or cloudy to charge?
I think these are great for portable fridges like your Dometic (nice) or other small draw 12 Volt appliances.
Typically we are the move each day so I would plug it in to the ac outlet in my rig to recharge it.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures thanks👍
So for a regular size home fridge with the freezer on top would the jackery last two days???
Convenient compact items for sure. But what's the long term outlook for these? Batteries are consumables and I always wonder about longevity for my buck. Do you know what the recharge cycle count are on these units? 200, 300, 500 cycles? Are the batteries replaceable, when the cycles are used up? Just curious.
500 cycles to 80% capacity on the Jackery. Batteries aren't replaceable. But that's a lot of run time. Say you used it every weekend and drained it each weekend. That would still get you almost 10 years before it maxed at 80% capacity and then it still works, just not at max charge. That's a lot of life!
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures The newer Jackery 1000 Pro is rated for 1000 cycles to full charge before it maxes out at 80%, and it charges from 0 to 100% on an AC outlet in under 2 hours (which I verified the first time I charged mine out of the box) versus 7 hours for the regular 1000. Those are huge improvements and the 2 things I would have chosen to be upgraded. The under 2 hour charging time is huge, particularly if you have an AC outlet in your vehicle.
For the saw, you need to cut something. Same goes for the impact drill. There was no load on either of these.
Same goes for everything. Draw will be higher to keep up with the waffle iron temps when you are actually cooking something. This is not a dependable review. I hope you can correct in the future when you have some time. Great video. Thank you.
Next time I'm building and cooking something in the review. LOL
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures if I do get one, I'll be sure to come back here and buy it through your link!
I have the 1000 and am going to try to run my microwave and my coffee maker. I use my 249 to run my fridge
What is the actual lifespan of this Jackery 1000 generator. Certainly it would depend on its usage so using it moderately, summer camping and emergency only home use - would you say 5 years, 10 years? Or more ?
TO CLARIFY: U CONTINUALLY PRONOUNCE THE BLUETTI AS BLUE YETTY…which may confuse people since YETI also makes portable power stations! THIS IS EXACTLY WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO PRONOUNCE WORDS/NAMES CLEARLY & CORRECTLY!
And yet you didn't say how it's properly pronounced. LOL! I do know how it's pronounced and I think my southern and talking fast blurred it together.
How will the Jackery work in minus 20 celsius weather? Reason being I want to use it for Ice fishing at night for lights.
The problem with these units is they take too long to charge from a vehicle they need to ditch the assessory plug in or add an Anderson plug that can take 30 amps or more since most alternators are 30 amps or more and by adding an Anderson plug from your battery to were you keep your solar generator since vehicles use the body and frame for the negative so all you need is a 10 gauge or 12 from your battery and a short peice from your vehicle body or frame so it's cheap to add
How about a Nuwave convection cook top?
