About Jackery Explorer 1000 Portable Power Station, 1002Wh Capacity
Overall Feedback:
89% positive
85% were satisfied with the long run time, but 15% weren't
It takes at least 5 hours or more to charge and I only get 6 hours out of it when plugging in the basking and UV lights and a security camera for my bearded dragon terrarium.
I compared the run time of my old GoalZero 1400 with the new Jackery 1000 and found that the Jackery 1000 only lasted for two hours, while the old GoalZero 1400 kept the refrigerator running for about 20 hours.
Rephrased:
The old GoalZero 1400 kept my refrigerator running for about 20 hours, while the new Jackery 1000 only lasted for two hours in comparison.
76% were impressed with the fuel type
Using solar panels to charge it is an excellent touch, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly power source.
80% liked the quiet operation, however, 20% found it too noisy
The unit is almost completely quiet.
The unit powers up smaller electronics and is quiet.
The fan noise is too loud and it turns on every few minutes even at a low current draw of 45-50 watts, making it impossible for me to use a CPAP, tent heater or anything similar inside.
The portable generator is noisy.
85% found the portability convenient, but 15% struggled
The product is great in terms of portability and maneuverability.
The Jackery Explorer 1000 is slightly cumbersome to maneuver due to its weight, hindering its portability.
86% appreciated the power output, while 14% felt it was insufficient
In hot weather, the portable generator tends to overheat numerous times a day.
It is not possible to discharge 1000W of power in less than a minute without a magnificent display of fire. This indicates that our portable generator's power output is not as expected.
When charged with solar panels in direct, bright Arizona sunshine, I noticed that the unit only delivers 125Watts output.
81% liked safety features
Charging it using solar panels is an excellent touch, turning it into a sustainable and eco-friendly power source.
84% appreciated the size and weight, yet 16% found it too bulky
I bought the heaviest (most powerful) one I could handle which is 22 pounds.
The generator has a nice handle and the battery life holds very well, although it is a bit bulky and heavy.
The weight of the portable generator slightly hinders its portability.
