Great review, not expected but respected, I'm looking to move onto a boat in a couple of years ( would love it to be tomorrow) these little tips and advice from you, and other vloggers go in my book, all advice and information is welcomed received ❤👍👍💕
Hi Nigel, we wouldn’t normally do something like this, but we were looking at getting one of these, we’d been looking around at all different makes and models, so when this came along it made sense. Since we took it out of the box we have used it constantly, so our boat batteries are now only running our fridge and freezer, so this is fantastic for us and we think may be beneficial to other boaters too. Thanks Nigel! xx
Looks like a wonderful piece of equipment! The first time that I saw one of these devices was on the Lonewolf 902 TH-cam channel. He uses it in is truck and Jeep for camping. Thank you for the review. Cheers!
Well this is an unexpected surprise, that was actually rather interesting to watch, try some more review videos. Looks like you had a wonderful May Day, looking forward to seeing your next video on Thursday!
Hi Edward, we wouldn’t usually do a review, but we have been looking at getting something similar, but then this came along, so it was a no-brainer. It’s exactly what we needed! 👍 The weather has been lovely today, warm and sunny! Really hoping the weather has now turned 🤞 Thanks Edward! xx
Hi Natalie, thank you! Our main saving is not having to hardly use our main leisure batteries, which means they will last a lot longer. Power saving is one of the top issues for all boaters. Thanks. Natalie! xx
Hi Shane, yes we do usually, we only had it outside as it was easier to film. Normally we would have it inside with the lead going out through the window and to the solar panel on the roof. We didn’t realise it shouldn’t be in the sun though whilst charging, so thank you for that. Thanks Shane! xx
We keep an extra power source in our house n bring it when we go camping, you never know when the weather will surprise you. And I love crocs, they are easy to wash off when camping in sandy or muddy places.
@@JulieandMartinonRIB thats ok julie i changed it to rock a as i had to many fools on here i was on go fund me my julie was ill she has cronic ocd i got called all sorts of names so rocka was a name i came up with as i was in a band i play guitar but i love your channel martin is cool like to meet you one day god bless ya both i will be watching your channel is cool im a gardener now i got bloody wet a lot mind you as you said its getting better now

Good for you that you got it for free, otherwise you’d take a while to get a profit out of it quickly. But it has many different uses. Heidi has a similar thing and also uses it for her camper van! 👍👍
Hi Eric, it’s a brilliant piece of kit, we hardly have to use our boat leisure batteries now, only the fridge and freezer use them, so it’s well worth it! Thanks Eric! xx
Haven't seen this brand before. I'd love to have a small one in case of a winter electric outage. My gas furnace won't work without electricity so I'd have no heat. With something like this I could at least run a small heater to at least keep one room comfortable for me and the cats. Maybe someday! On a boat it seems like a necessity. ❤
Hi, Interesting review from an end user. I am considering purchasing one for my market stall, i don't like the noise of the petrol generator, still puzzled by which size i might need and also what lights to purchase. Thanks again Phil
Hi Grace, not really no, there are mobile air conditioning units out there, but they use a lot of power, so really would drain the batteries too much. We have USB rechargeable fans and 12v fans and can usually manage ok. But to be honest, the UK doesn’t really have that many hot days in the year to worry about it lol. Yes we have a few uncomfortably hot days, but mostly keeping windows open, curtains closed it’s manageable 😃 Thank you, so pleased you are enjoying our videos! xx
The way I look at powerbanks is,once you’ve used it up to what the unit cost to buy then everything after that is free electricity,I got my gf the all powers 100watt panel for her jackery explorer 240,I’ve also got the jackery 240 and just got the jackery 500 🤘🏻😃🤘🏻
Yes, we have a small 240 Jackery that we use all the time. Living off grid, these really help as it means we don’t have to touch our leisure batteries hardly, so they will last longer too! Thanks Shane! xx

I, personally, don't see a problem with you doing reviews for free items in return. At least we get a truthful review. This type of kit is really useful, not only for leisure use, but also home use e.g. if you live in an area with frequent power outages and poor mobile signals. Most new Broadband connections do not use a landline, so if there is a power cut and your router goes down, as in our case, we would have no phone in an emergency, even a mobile. My wife has a heart condition, so Vodafone gave us a rechargeable power pack that powers the router in an power outage and a landline phone plugs into the router. What the idiots who decided to phase out the use of land lines did not consider is the router is of no use on cordless phones because the base unit needs mains power for them to work. So, I had to get a corded phone to plug into the router to make sure we always have a phone in an emergency, but lost the flexibility of the cordless phones dotted around the house, which also act as intercoms. I hope this may be of use to someone about to switch broadband supplier and have similar power and mobile signal problems. Thanks for your review. Barry
There are more, this week’s one went live on Thursday, here’s the link th-cam.com/video/qSWBB3JgfHU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7Qt5c5Gz2PVOFCdL hope you enjoy it! We upload one video every week at 6.45pm BST Thank you! xx
I'm late with this. Saw one of your videos and you went in a tunnel , Crick I think ?? It was very wet , really dripping . Your phone got wet . WHY is that tunnel soooo wet ? I'm curious? Thanks
Hi Col, most tunnels are quite drippy, but Crick tunnel is renowned for being very wet! It’s natural drainage from the earth above, Crick tunnel has fields above it, so when we’ve had a lot of rain it drains through, otherwise there would very too much weight above the tunnel. Most of the tunnels along the canals are over 200 years old! Thanks Col xx
Absolutely NOT Susan, we happened to be looking around for one of these, all different makes and models, however, when this email popped into our inbox it was a no-brainer. We wanted one and we really think it will be beneficial to other boaters, so why not just this once?! We definitely will not make a habit of it, and will certainly not go down any sponsorship routes or advertising products that have no relevance to life off-grid! Since taking this out of the box, we’ve hardly touched the boat batteries, in fact, the only things that now run off of the boat is the fridge and freezer, everything else runs off of this and our old little Jackery we have. So please don’t worry, it’s back to usual vlogs from Thursday! 😃 Thanks Susan! xx
699.00$ usd without discount. Got Ja*kery beat. this is so cool! And a really great review! So great to see you two happy. I have the other one. it's very handy but this one your reviewing is better with the blue tooth an all. 👋

Oh wow, well done! It’s a great piece of kit, we use ours all the time! 👍 xx
Wow that does look good, the amount you can charge at one time is great, super review ❤❤❤❤
We love it, since we took it out of the box it’s been on constantly! Thanks Jacqui, see you soon! xx

Hi guys
Looks like a good piece of kit👍👍
It’s great Ronald, we use it for everything now! Thanks! xx
Thsnk you, enjoyed that. Havev a wonderful week! x
Aww thank you Howard, so pleased you enjoyed it! xx
Great video,it’s good practice to keep the powerbank in the shade when charging from solar panels
Hi Shane, yes we do usually, we only had it outside as it was easier to film. Normally we would have it inside with the lead going out through the window and to the solar panel on the roof. We didn’t realise it shouldn’t be in the sun though whilst charging, so thank you for that. Thanks Shane! xx

And I love crocs, they are easy to wash off when camping in sandy or muddy places.
That’s a good idea keeping one as a backup 👍 and yes, Crocs are just so comfy and easy to wear lol. Thank you! xx
They are good I had the smaller one which had lights all worked from app
Hi Billy, we are really impressed with it, and really helpful to have the app too. Thanks! xx

Nice. Never heard of that company. I have a 290 Jackery. I just need to get foldable solar panels.Im a tent camper, so it comes in handy.
They’re great aren’t they! Thanks Terry! xx
That's an interesting and useful looking device. They sell them out here in Australia. Would be great for camping trips.
Hi Neil, they certainly would be, they are ideal! Thanks Neil xx

Also good for power outages. During our last two day outage we had to go to a coffee shop to charge our phones. The trouble was so did everyone else!
Yes, that’s a good idea! Thanks Susan! xx

Hi Phil, we are really pleased with it and if means we don’t have to worry our leisure batteries much at all now! Thanks Phil xx
Is there such a thing as air-conditioning/cooler in a Narrowboat? I live in Arizona..it's a THING. Love you guys. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
