Just want to wish you a joyous ,and beautiful Christmas,and New Year!Thanks for sharing your life ,I look forward to spending more time with you in 2024!🎄🎀🌟🎄🎀🌟🎄
Battery and power storage and management had moved on so far in just a couple of years. I think you guys appreciate the tech so much because you built your solar rig and power management rig from research, hard graft, and creative problem solving. Thanks for sharing your journey. HappyBoxibg Day. Puck.
Hey, that is a good point buddy. I do appreciate how the technology has come so far in thr last few years, and I'm so happy it has. When I built my solar set up, it truly was built with the intent of just working until the solar world got to where it is now. Prices are really good in my opinion on all this solar and battery storage now.....way better all around than 3 years ago
Thanks for the new post. That Dabbson power unit is sure cool. I like watching your reviews of these power stations there are so many to choose from. When we purchase ours it will defitately be something you all have tested out. Nothing better than real time live testing by a trustworthy source. Thank you again you are so inspiring. Merry Christmas stay warm!
That seems like the best deal around! Y'all got back up for your back up! The only thing now that you need is maybe another 🌞! lol Y'all have a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 and a Happy New Year 🕛🎊 🐶🐶 😁😏, JB
Definitely bookmarking this video. Currently, have a “on grid” cottage. And been bantering about getting a generator. But, I think you have really explained this is in layman’s terms that even I understand. Thank you!
What a coincidence I have been watching videos on this same unit today !! From what I’ve seen online Jay I believe that is the one I would hold on to .. Merry Christmas guys !!
Hi there! Merry Christmas to both of you and the fur babies too! You are very knowledgeable with all these power set ups, it must really help some people with all your explanations. I wouldn’t have a clue! The cabin must be very cozy as you can get around in a t-shirt. Love your videos. Cheers 👍🏻🇦🇺
Just want to wish you two another merry Christmas, it blows my mind how much growth you guys have seen this year. I remember when you guys were sub 500. It’s weird to be proud of people you don’t know but here we are. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Thank you my friend....the support and love from you and others here seriously keep me going. It means so much that you have been here the whole way, and haven't bailed on us 😊. MERRY CHRISTMAS
@@OffgridwithJayandJen have you noticed that you get big view spikes when your title mentions “cold” “winter” “freezing” or “Snow”. Try to fit all those words in and get that first 1 million view
Great review thank you, great that when pairing 2 2300 units together you can get 4000w going out , that makes it amazing and a real off grid system battery contender, the ability to have a good wattage to charge with solar makes it excellent 👌 thank you
Thanks.....I really like the versatility and flexibility of this system. Lots of power stored and lots of output too. If i was set up better with PV charging in the cabin it would be ideal. AC charging works good too though
Did not know they existed - thank you - have it bookmarked - will consider when I do an upgrade. Loving what I have now, but it is only 1000 w (5Kwh) - and need 2200 watts give or take the 3000 w units (all of them I have reviewed) so far all have "large parasitic drain" issues. Would love to have 10+ kwh territory on the next system.
This video is a very very interesting evolution of the off grid solar endeavor!! Thank you all! We have been living off grid for 21 years now and are on our 3rd system built in 2016 with 10 kwh array. ......and, while my neighbor criticized me for over kill on the capacity he was Wrong! (LOL)........the 10 kwh array has made us into "solar farmers".........really helps on gray days, and eliminates a bunch of worry re how much poop the batteries are getting. Good luck and Merry Christmas! X
Your very informative guys. We appreciate every video you do. Keep up the great work. So people cant afford but if you get a good idea how it works you can work for that gold. God Bless
Totally the plan, this will be a great back up or like I mentioned I could just run PV solar right to that box and charge the power stations directly from the array. We will see
I really do think this is a fair deal and nice package too. Just the convenience and size of the units is a great selling point. I mean I spent a lot of time piecing my system together too.
Does the Bluetti 200 have a built in solar controller, and if so, does it have the cabling to hook directly to a solar array? Thanks and Merry Christmas.
That's a nice looking system and the technology is coming down in price. Do you know why the units do not draw down evenly? Jay and Jen have a very Merry Christmas. Cheers.
So we are looking at getting a power system to run our camper off grid after having the Electric company shut off the electric to our property in the U.P any suggestions on how to get 1 of those systems sent to us to try out without it costing a arm and leg? All the ones I have looked at arent to pricey until you want to get a solar panel for it. Thanks for any info you can provide us. And Keep up the good work. Happy Holidays Tim
If you need power or electricity you are going to have to spend money. I've spent 3 years building a YT channel and cabin, I've spent years making this channel work at great expense, but some of the fun parts of the process include product testing systems like this. You work hard, make some money, then buy one. Trust me, that is the best and most efficient way to get a unit like this. There are no short cuts my friend. Best wishes
We were paying 47 dollars a month to have electric at our camp but being we only stay there maybe 4 to 5 times a year we thought why not go with a power station being it wouldnt be used all that much only to charge my Milwaukee tools and the camper until we get the run down mobilehome tore down then we are going to either put up a cabin or a polebarn to put our camper in. I really like your videos because you both seem down to earth and have been watching and trying to learn more about alternative power sources from you's. We also watch Bush Radical and Girl in the woods. Dave and Brooke have taught us alot about the cabin building process. Sorry for the book I just posted to you but when it comes to electric and building I would have to rate myself at 1 out of 10 for the knowledge so keep posting up the great videos and God bless
@timstowe4984 hey Tim.....being you already have power, and at that rate, 600 dollars a year is worth the cost in my opinion. Where solar and portable power shine is when there is a 20k dollar installation fee to have power hooked up. If I was you I would consider a unit like this for the sake of back up power and for the portability and flexibility. Take it hoke and have it for emergencies when not at the cabin.
I believe so. The only problem I think I had where it shut off was if I tried charging them both at the same time. I think the power passing through both of them then joining back together was messing with something. I still have more playing with it to do, but I would like to just leave them both plugged in and use the pass through power, and use the stored power only when needed. But I need to test it a bit more still.
That is a good question.....I think the reason it was drawn down more was because the top power station was not connected to an expandable battery. If you worked out the math, the bottom two being connected drew down about the same amount of watt hours. I'm thinking it would be better to have two power stations both with additional expansion batteries.
@wobdeehomestead1464 that is what I'm thinking. Or you could run just two power stations no battery, but having even banks would make it work better I assume. This is what they sent us, so I'm testing it with what we got. Loving it so far
uneven draw from the 3 power units. So if youre running 240v via that voltage hub, when one of your 2, or if 2 of your 3 runns out and youve only got one with charge, even if its 98%, then youve got no 240v. Is that correct? I had same problem with Delta Pro's with their voltage hub that is supposed to ensure even dischage, which wasnt true.
You lucky buggers i wish i could get something like that i saw you guys on Sean in Alaska yesterday i was going to say hi but i dident i alway get nothing even Christmas day nothing today Very nice i could run all my stuff on that to ((BY the way thewre outv of stock they said ))
Sure does beat having to run a generator and on top of that it's quiet. Sorry to see others getting upset with you providing a service to your sponsors.
Thanks my friend.....it really is nice to be past the loud generator days. Honestly the negativity still surprises me every time.....as if I pinned them down and forced them to watch my video, lol. Just wish people understood that promotions literally keep mid sized channels alive. YT is great and we get a little from the ads, but until your channel gets 100k views per video it is hard to keep the projects flowing without some help. I prefer the honest route of sponsors rather than click bait drama and revealing thumbnails. Just the way I choose to do things.
Istabreeze is the way to go. As handy as you are you should reach out to them, they very well may gift it to you for a review. I am in the process of trying the Vevor 500W, my family has an off grid vacation spot in the UP that runs off of solar but it is always windy up there and I don’t need as much power. I will let you know how it works.
I am not. Although the window AC I have for pur bedroom only raws about 400 watts....which means I could run it on these units for about 12-14 hours on this set up. But AC Is a luxury off grid.
🎉I extremely enjoy watching all your episodes. This call a man is on one of your other videos. I go down to the neighborhood store will small country store little food little bit of hardware and they sell gas and propane. I live on 5 acres. I’m at 60 year old crippled old man no friends no family living on 5 acres. No power, no phone no Internet I download your videos and I’m trying to build a off grid home off my piece together 500 W solar system is enough to keep a couple batteries charged. I struggle a lot more run the generator a lot more to charge the batteries in the winter time charge my phone power tools I’m trying to build a tiny house large tiny house blue Eddie would change the world for me. I would like to be in on your contest for the blueberry you’re giving away. The sad part is you said something about Canada and I’m in Newport sun fortunately have probably count me out. I hope not. I wish both of you and the dogs a merry Christmas and a happy new year. My prayers go out to you.
I just unsubscribed from your channel, and a few other channels because all you do now is use your channel to advertising more over and over on your FREE items that are sent to you to advertise and then keep,1st they are very expensive and in reality even you can’t afford to purchase if it wasn’t given to you. I for one is extremely bored watching your advertising commercials so you can get free items plus we have to watch u -tube commercials so you get paid also. This is going to be the start of the downfall of U-Tubers 🤮😮
Realy? The amont of work they put into these posts is well deserving of the "free stuff". I am sure if the free products were no good we would be the first to know.

Thanks Larry 😊
Enjoyed the show. SEMPER FI
Thanks Jay for the review… I had not heard of this battery backup option before👍
Glad to help
That was a really nice system! I liked it!
Merry Christmas to you both 🎄
Merry Christmas to you both ❤❤
Very nice review ... I'd keep both systems charged up and eventually convert the power shed to lifepo4
Totally the plan, this will be a great back up or like I mentioned I could just run PV solar right to that box and charge the power stations directly from the array. We will see
Never heard of this company. Nice looking package--interesting and seems easy to use which is good since I am not a rocket scientist.
I really do think this is a fair deal and nice package too. Just the convenience and size of the units is a great selling point. I mean I spent a lot of time piecing my system together too.

Thanks for doing the review, system looks great!
Thanks Lisa for the support
Wow !! never heard of Dabbsson, very interesting !!
Mary chrismas mr and miss i from sweden love you videos
That looks like a sweet system!
great!
Merry Christmas
Good review. Hi from Colorado Springs 😀
Nice review, I didn't even know about this brand!
Does the Bluetti 200 have a built in solar controller, and if so, does it have the cabling to hook directly to a solar array? Thanks and Merry Christmas.
I think they all have a controller....but some have higher input than others
Merry Christmas guys
Very informative video, Thank you.
You Are Welcome, Thanks for Watching
Hey jay can you run DC to the cabin and still charge your batteries
I will try this soon....would be a good option
Some day I'm getting me 1 or 2 Merry Christmas to you kids
nice jay
Pretty darn cool. Thanks
Thanks Steve, they have been taking good care of us for a while now....nice system
That's a nice looking system and the technology is coming down in price. Do you know why the units do not draw down evenly? Jay and Jen have a very Merry Christmas. Cheers.
I think it was because the other power station had the additional battery attached, so more power to divide up.
Merry Christmas my friend
