Excellent
I don't see a link to the river 2 pro max contest page. Not in the vid description or the pinned post. Good video!
@@SteelWolf13 I can’t find it anywhere either
Scroll up to the top, it's the second paragraph for the "giveaway." Hope it helps.
Last year i had an Ecoflow unit die. I was not able to ship it back to them for warranty due to shipping restrictions on Li batteries. However they did honor the warranty and sent me a new unit free of charge.
That's good to know, hoping they continue to be good on warranty.
Ecoflow has incredible customer service, unlike Bluetti.
That speaks volumes.
@@stacky512aI got burned by Bluetti too.
That’s strange. I was able to return a River 2 without any issues.
My Bluetti died after 7 months, and they will not honor their warranty, so I would avoid Bluetti.
Very good to Know!
I've been putting off a solar generator for too long. 2024 is the year I make it happen.
The priority after food and water is energy.
You always explain, without talking down. Thank you.
Wow - another great presentation - and EVEN BETTER and more detailed than last year. Thank you so much!
So glad to see this update. Sharing with my husband. 😃 Thank you, Kris!
Thank you so much for the spreadsheet you created! I have been trying to find that kind of information for a while now.
Thank you for the spreadsheet. Very helpful. Thank you for also including the weight of each generator!
I love my Bluetti solar generator bought a couple years ago. Your channel was influential in this decision. Please keep up the great work.
Thank you for breaking down all the aspects of the generators. I love how you clearly explain everything.
Appreciate the time taken for your annual assessment.
Thanks Kris, great information. I've been saving for one, getting there. This helped a lot. ❤
This video couldn’t have come at a better time. I’ve been researching a lot of these for a couple of weeks and the this is the most up to date and comprehensive video I’ve seen yet. Thank you so much for the time and effort that went into this and kudos for doing that outstanding spreadsheet.
What did you end up settling on?
@@maggew I went with the anker c1000. It packs quite a punch for the weight and size. I’m very happy with it.
The amount of time you put in on the excel its extraordinary. Its really comprehensive and easy to use. Makes it easy to understand what you need. Enjoy your content, thanks!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us.
That spreadsheet is the best, great effort and thanks
Thanks for all the hard work and dedication you put into your videos!! This really takes the headache out of choosing one of these units for our home.
Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together. Much appreciated, sir!
I want to thank you for the time and effort that you put into getting all the info.
I’ve been falling your channel for more than a year now and last year I bought a Delta Max 2 and it’s great to see that is still recommended one of the best.
I’m in the market for a solar generator and this video has been incredibly helpful. Thank you for all the time you put in to testing and filming. I love your channel.
Yes, I love the way yours give us the prices instead of saying the prices is down below that looks for our prices ourselves. You give us the price on screen. I appreciate that LA la channels don't do that.
Thank you so much for explaining this throughly.
Kris thank you for making this extensive video..I know it took alot of time and effort to put together..Just letting you know it's appreciated and as far as I'm concerned it's hands down one of the best you tube videos on solar generators that has ever been done and I will be sharing with many friends that are interested in these power sources. Thanks again!!
Great Job as always in providing unbiased objective information, Thank you so much for all you do!
Great timing on this video. Some friends and I were talking about generators just this past Monday.
Very professional video! You do an amazing job articulating the data. Once again, nice job.
Thank you for the well thought out reviews. We are looking for a solar generator right now. This was perfect timing!
Very informative video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Incredible information! Thank you!
Awesome comparisons, thank you Kris.
I have to say that many of the prepper items I buy I check with your channel. I don’t just buy them because you said good things about but from your intake I check out things that will work for me. Thank you for your info 👍👏
Excellent work on this as usual. Thank you
Awesome to have all this info at my fingertips.
So glad you give us this information!
I appreciate all of the information your video has provided, it was easy to understand and well presented thank you. I have signed up for your spread sheet and will look at the more in-depth information before purchasing any unit.
Thank you for doing this, it’s greatly appreciated !
We purchased an Ecoflow Delta 2 and battery for powering field test equipment at work. It has been a powerhouse and is so easy to use. One of the best pieces of equipment we’ve purchased in quite some time.
Thanks for the update. Probably gonna buy a Pecron as a backup for the Bluetti i already have. God bless.
Awesome video as usual. You put so much work into these reviews and I really appreciate them.
Great overview. Thanks for going over so many brands and sizes for us to choose from.
Kris, another outstanding job in explaining a fairly complex subject.
Solar is an excellent option. I wish the batteries weren't so expensive
A cheap oil drum full of sand and a heating element and an insulated jacket is a fantastic way of avoiding curtailment AND having efficient heat without having to convert it back into electric.
Humans can always make heat from electric at 100% efficiency, but making electricity from heat is more like 20-30%.
couple hours of sun blasted into an oil drum during the day gives a really warm comfortable evening with no lithium.
@gigabane7357 that's interesting have a plan???
Lithium batteries are cheaper than they use to be. Solar panels are also. Plus the tech has improved.
@@billbradley2480 yeah the tech has come a long way.
@@gigabane7357 @gigabane7357 Great idea using an oil drum and sand as a heat bank! It's a smart way to store heat from the sun during the day and release it slowly in the evening, keeping things cozy without electricity. The insulated jacket is a nice touch to keep that heat from escaping too quickly. Maybe adding a solar air heater could boost the warmth even more. Love the creativity in using simple materials effectively!
thank you sir . very informative . we wish you great health and a very safe year . god bless .
I love the way you present your videos and reviews. You make it easier to understand.
I have the Ecoflow River 2 pro and it is great but I need something with more power for those rare occasions. I would love to have my whole home run by solar but that is not in the budget.
I bought an Ecoflow Delta Max 2 last month and love it so far.. Just need a solar panel now
Thanks Kris - I subscribe because you have a lot of very practical reviews and information and I have come to trust your content.
I bought a Jackery last year when it was on sale and have been happy so far. Based on the reviews i might buy another and the spreadsheet is very helpful.
TY Kris you are the Man. You are the master of this and I Thank you!
Thank you for the spreadsheet. Super convenient
Excellent commentary and break down of how and what ? Has helped me in making my selection was on the fence until Now!
Just in time Im literally shopping for one right now! Thank you so much!
I really appreciate the clear and easy to follow explanations/definitions of terms, comparing the different main brands along with suggestions for solar panels, and of course, that spreadsheet is amazing. Thank you for once again giving us a great review. Is it possible you could give us an update on those blue barrels I see for your water storage in the background, and how you have currently have them set up?
Another great review. Thank you!
My Mom uses Ecoflow and it's been amazing for her so far. She travels around in a bus and has really never needed anything else. The have pretty good sales so you can get even more bang for your buck from time to time. :). Also, thanks for all the time and effort you put into these resources...that spreadsheet is great!
Your channel is full of useful information thank you 🙏
lots of good info. I did a ton of research before i bought a jackery1000 two years ago and after using it camping and on hunting trips with my camper i discovered three things are important to me.....1. How much the inverter can handle, turns out i want it to mimic a house circuit of about 1800w so it can run usual counter appliances while camping. 2. Can i recharge a depleted unit in a day say 5 full solar hours so a 2kwh battery needs to accept at least 400w. And 3. how heavy is it so that i can move it without risking injury. Personally i dont like the apps and have noticed at a well attended camping area that there are multiple signals which i feel ups the risk of some tech savy nurd messing with my system. For me the Bluetti 180 is a good fit and so far love it.
Thank you for the video and information. I am still in the market for a solar generator and this really helps. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this video.
I just purchased the Ecoflow Delta 2 as a portable backup to my ICE gas/ propane generator…Love it so far!
I have the same setup. It feels like such a waste to run the generator all night when my fridge isn't actually pulling current all night. Plus, I can top off the batteries during regular maintenance runs for my ICE generator.
Just got a Bluetti AC180 plus an expansion battery, Love it!
If you don’t mind me asking… What does it run for how long? Trying to figure out what to get.
Great information CP I’ve been wanting one of these for years but the stars haven’t lined up yet lol but thanks again for your videos buddy!
Great info as usual! Thank you.
I love my Bluetti's - so solid and no issues 3 yrs running so far...
Very helpful and thorough explanations! Thank you. My son relies on medical equipment including a ventilator so I have been looking into a solar generator. Very helpful.
I'm pretty sold on the Ecoflow Delta II Max. Really appreciate all of the work that goes into your solar generator videos. Very helpful. Thank you.
Kris thank you for the thorough research information on the different brand generators.
Perfect, so comprehensive yet concise🏅
Wow, thanks!
They are very nice unit to own..!!! Thank you for sharing 🙏
Great show a lot of great information.
Thank you this is a very informative review. You have put me into the market for one of these type units, here in the country it will pay dividends.
Thanks for the awesome education. You explain it very well, now I just got to come up with money to buy one
We appreciate the effort. You da man!
Kris excellent and very comprehensive helpful info. Your brain overwhelms me LOL. Thanks for doing this!!
I have been shopping for a solar generator for some time. Thank you for creating this spread sheet to make comparing them to each other so much easier. Also thank you to all who have commented with your experiences with the units you purchased because I do not know anyone who has purchased any kind of generator.
Your very good at explaning this sir. Thank you very much
Ecoflow still kicking butt 👍
Really like the new analysis tool. Thank you
This is such a great video, definitely helping everyone become a more informed buyer.
Awesome video with lots of useful information. Been looking for a good solar generator. This gives me a lot of good info.
Just a heads up, in the Pecron portion of the video, you had them swapped. The E1500LFP was on the right, and the E2000LFP was actually on the left.
Great info! Thanks for the effort!
Excellent video, very informative for anyone considering a Portable Power Station/Solar Generator, Solar Panels or Solar Blankets.
I have a little beaudan it was great and all I could afford at the time. Now I have Bluetti a325 and it worked great when I lived in a cargo trailer. Now I'm in a house but keep it charged in case electric goes out. But won't work for long. But it will charge my phone in emerg.
I like the Jackery, for quality, reliability, efficiency, ease to use, and customer support.
Super helpful video! Thank you!
i have bluetti AC200 max and bluetti EB55 and love them both
Thanks for doing this.
Very good presentation.
I also have done a lot in this area and one point that you really did cover, is people miss the point that it is not just what can a unit run/operate, but HOW LONG CAN the unit operate. You can operate lots of stuff for a very short time, but in many cases, the time that a unit can support a piece of gear is very short and often too short to be considered viable. Also start surge may typically be 3 times the continuous operating power need.
Have limited Solar Generator capability and looking to get a whold house system. Great Vid!!
I genuinely appreciate and realize the amount of work that went into putting this together. And to put it out here for free is HUGE! Thank you!
Been using an EcoFlow Delta for a few months now and I'd loved it as well.
This is still on my list. I finally got solar panels I just need a battery system. I’m struggling with the best options. Thx Kris!
Excellent presentation thanks
Pretty fair and balanced as always man. Well done video.
Awesome review, so many choices.
Really nicely explained.
Thank you for the information. We are building our 4 window bus. We need all the help we can get. Again thank you
I would like to have seen a review with OUPES solar generator.
Thank you for all your time putting this video together. I understand solar power much better now. 🥰
These are excellent units to power some household appliances but are limited unless you buy additional batteries,I’m definitely going to build my own unit! Two reasons are cost and ease of component replacement!
Excellent analysis
I've been really researching these solar generators for 2 years now. Your video was very informative but still considering my options. It's nice there is some good competition in this market
Great video lots of good information.
