I'd send it back with a note saying "Ah, thanks but no thanks". When I started my business 3 decades ago a wise man told me a saying I've remembered all my life. "Quality is remembered, long after price is forgotten" Reliability is a must for you and your operation. Thanks Jack
if you take the rubber insert that's around the control panel out, there's a bunch of screws hiding underneath, i Jammed a hot soldering iron through my speaker which shut that up! I also replaced most of the wiring inside to a heavier duty cable as most of it inside is only rated for 8 amps!
Well now - perhaps they ought to send you a replacement unit so you can give it a proper test? Not too promising, I'd wager. Thanks for the efforts, Jack!
Not to surprised here Jack as the water blaster quickly loads up the amps required when you release the trigger as does the welder when you strike solid with the electrode Because the power station is not receiving charge when you are using it, it's total voltage will be quickly drawn below system threshold margins (hence the beeping) It should have a lot more chop if receiving alternator voltage from your running engine whilst in use I bought a Kickass 3000 watt inverter from an Aussie crowd that pumps out a genuine 3000 watts with surge well above which runs anything I throw at it but to maintain that level of draw a high input such as engine/alternator needs to be used
I'm in the USA and purchased the 110 volt version, it's mostly "worked as advertised" but is quite quirky. I've never tried pulling more than 1000 Watts though. Likewise, I never got the WiFi working, Bluetooth works maybe 50% of the time. Lots of error codes, some not in the manual. When I queried Allpowers I never got a response. My main complaint is with charging from solar, if starting from zero input (like with panels left plugged in overnight) it tops out at only 200 Watts even though the panels are putting out maybe 1000. If I unplug and then reconnect it will then continue charging at a higher rate. I've also had a problem with the unit shutting off AC output when it hits 100% charge. (There is a caution in manual about this happening with full rate AC charging but solar charging does the same)
Good on you for giving a fair test. Appears to have on going problems that are aggravating. Hopefully the company can get its act together and correct the problems. I probably would have been less patient than you.
These are damn expensive in the UK £999 (AUD $1,900) but until they get decent user manual sorted and make it easier to use I doubt I’ll even think of getting one, as there many other options out there that are easier to use.
He's headed home, He's up near Broome doing some courses to certify himself in earthmoving equipment, and from the looks of things there's plenty of good jobs for him up near home!
You have the patience of Job! I’d have dropped into a deep hole the last episode you showed this thing to us. Perhaps smash the case and get the LFP battery out of it first.
Idea seemed great with the power pack but what a DRAMA trying to use it your hair will turn grey before all your water tubs are cleaned doing it that way 😢😢😢😢 Keep it simple buy a honda powered pressure washer with a turbo head you will have the tubs looking like new and have no beeping electronis gargabe to fight with 😂😂😂😂😂
Allpower ,from what you showed us i would rename the buisness nopower. Try albo and lets get an Australian company going that suits everyone's remote needs.

I can't get over how many companies want you to do a review, and will only let you have the item if it's a positive one..
All power to you for trying so hard 😁

It should have a lot more chop if receiving alternator voltage from your running engine whilst in use

Hi Jack, has Danny gone walkabout haven’t seen him for awhile
He's headed home, He's up near Broome doing some courses to certify himself in earthmoving equipment, and from the looks of things there's plenty of good jobs for him up near home!
Maybe you should look at what Yachties are using! Lot of them testing many diff systems.
couple of batteris thrown in the corner with an inverter does the same thing ,,
A shade over the water is the only solution to slowing the algy growing in them it's extremely good at grabbing on and persisting 🤔
You have the patience of Job! I’d have dropped into a deep hole the last episode you showed this thing to us. Perhaps smash the case and get the LFP battery out of it first.
ANT is back?
oh well , you gave it your best shot. ggod fair review. on ya mate.
Bluetti is the way to go
Get a blueEtti it's silent and light ✌️
Hi Jack, sounds like these are a waste of time those power packs
i bet its full of aa batteries ,,
Idea seemed great with the power pack but what a DRAMA trying to use it your hair will turn grey before all your water tubs are cleaned doing it that way 😢😢😢😢
Keep it simple buy a honda powered pressure washer with a turbo head you will have the tubs looking like new and have no beeping electronis gargabe to fight with 😂😂😂😂😂

It mite be working for the labor government 😂
Your furthest away water point sounds like a good resting place for that piece of ................
Have you tried giving it to a guy in kalgoorlie?
You know, it might just not like the latitude here, I guess I should send it that way, once we get the clearance on it.
Looks like a bit of a lemon…
You have a American flag flying .?
Jack has a variety of flags he uses to gauge wind direction at all his landing strips.
Belongs in the bin.
Put it in the bin mate
Bluettey
Can I ask a dumb question why the American 🇺🇸
Jack has a variety of flags he uses to gauge wind direction at all his landing strips.
The review is not looking good
Piece of crap. Spend the money and buy something that works with good backup service.
Junk .
NO!!!!! NO!!!! NO!!!!.... I DO NOT WANT TO WATCH YOU BECOME A SELLOUT ADVERTISER OF ANY PRODUCTS AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON.... NO!!! NO!!! NO!!!!
Rubbish lol
Find the simplest solution not what’s perceived as the easiest, lowest tech possible when working remote.
