This is so nice of Jackery and of you to demonstrate the 1000. We bought the 1000 when it was on sale last fall. In upstate NY, our power can go out with a good wind, rain or snowstorm, so having a reliable power source like the 1000 is important to us. While cleaning out our basement, I found my little 4-cup Cuisinart coffee maker with a stainless carafe that I used to use at work. I thought, if this thing still works, I’ll use it for camping, especially if the wattage is low enough... Sure enough, it is only 550 watts and it’s so great knowing that if our power goes out or when we are camping without shore power, we’re all set for coffee. I’m glad to see that the Jackery only lost a little battery power, after making your coffee. Coffee is that important LoL. Thank you, Michael for a great demonstration! Jackery made the right decision to have you review the 1000. Many blessings to you and Joanna. ~ Maria
I really enjoyed this video, I’m one of those that’s intimidated by solar power ,inverters, converters and what have you I truly believe for someone like me the Jackery 1000 is the way to go, thanks a lot for your very informative and enjoyable videos
I love it! $1500 is a little more than I’d like to to spend but I feel it’s worth the money. I have a 1000 watt Honda generator but hate listening to it even muffled and at a distance. This type of power supply is appealing to me because of the silence and i need my coffee!
If ya'll want to go down a deep rabbit hole ..."Will Prowse" on you-tube is a solar genius & gets down to the nitty gritty on this unit. The only complaint if heard on this unit Is the non folding handle. Overlanders cant stack anything on top of this unit like the Goal zero( charges faster too). Depends if you stay on the move or are stationary for days. Thanks for your review!
@@CampandCamera we originally bought it for our travel trailer that is in a permanent spot. I found a fancy Keurig on sale for $49 and bought it. Brand snobbery and all, you know 😀. Used it, didn’t like it, returned it. Bought another $20 machine for the pop up camper to travel! Thanks for your awesome videos. We are in SWVA and I love hearing you guys. You sound like us!
Southern accents are a gift in my opinion! Hey, you’re not too far from us. We’re thinking of heading that direction in a week or two for a fall leaf drive.
This is awesome. I’m obsessed with plugging things in and watching the watts. It is fun for off grid workshops or cabins, too! If my smaller unit ever gives out, I’ll get this one!
Good video Michael. I agree that for many teardrop builders an all in one solar generator can be all you need. In fact I’m having a teardrop built by Rustic Trail Teardrops and I’m using the Bluetti AC200P for all my power needs and will have 400 watts of solar panels on the roof which I will be able to tilt for better sun exposure.
Don’t feel bad about using your platform how you want to. Nothing wrong with doing a review. I personally bought a blueetti because it fit my needs and budget
We've had a Jackery 500 for our cargo trailer conversion for 18 months. Absolutely fantastic. I'm VERY knowledgeable about electronics and power ( ET1 USN ) and went with the Jackery because of its simplicity. We're just now putting solar on the trailer, and it'll be fully self-contained. We managed to wire the trailer completely without having to open the walls. The fan was already installed. People say that there's not enough AC in the '500 - but how many plugs do you need in a 5'x10' cargo trailer, anyway?
Thank you I am trying to learn how to incorporate solar for our 1996 Chevy Coachman class B we are full-time in it and right now we run a predator 3500 inverter generator 24/ 7
That sounds like a really cool project. Solar would be a perfect solution for you. A couple suggestions, check out the channel “RV with Tito DIY.” I think he covers the basics of just that. I also think “All About RV’s” did some videos in it. I did one myself, but it was for a teardrop camper, so it was a smaller install. Good luck!!!
The diagram showed a cpap runs 17 hours on AC, how long could it run on 12 volt do you think? Also you see like a pretty open and honest guy all the time. Good video, thanks!
Hi from the UK I have a early UK spec Explorer 500 that I bought off amazon but unfortunately its burnt out after only one year and the jackery 2year warranty doesn't seem to be worth the paper its written on as they are doing there best to dodge my claim.
Don’t know wether or not you will see this comment few years later, but what I would really like to know is how this unit has held up after some some time on it and what you think about it now. Reason I ask is , I have been interested in one of these but read somewhere the longer term battery life seemed a little short.
Funny you should leave this comment when you did. I actually used it last night to run my cpap during a power outage. So far I’ve been quite happy with it.
Any idea of battery life, is battery replaceable or do you buy a whole new unit If it goes out. These aren’t cheap . I’m starting an overland type build and have decided I would Prefer to just go with something like this instead of a whole built in electrical system and battery…but want something I can get my money out of . @@CampandCamera
How long does it take to charge this from 50% to 100% off the 12v vehicle plug? The wire seems bigger that the standard 15 amp and fuse on those cigarette lighter plugs.
@@CampandCamera versatile but could be better with a large cable input for charging so I could put a slit charger on it and bring 35- 40amps into it or more.
Great review, I just subscribed to your channel can't believe I have not yet. Question,......My new camper(OffGrid Trailer) gets delivered next month, I order it with a Xantrex 2000 watt inverter. Do you think I would need the Jackery? I plan on running a coffee maker, air frier, etc off it.
Hey there! I’m glad you found us. Congrats on the new camper!!! A 2000watt inverter should be a perfect size for your camper. The battery that feeds the inverter will ultimately determine how long you can run the inverter though. Do you know what battery will come in it?
@@CampandCamera ....Thanks again and I have watched so many of your videos and finally subscribed. I enjoyed the video of your review of the smokeless fire pit, I bought the Solo and honestly, I would have preferred the pellets. You need to keep the wood to a size less than 8 inches(to keep it below the perforated holes that blast the hot air) and they prefer hardwood.
I recommend checking out Jackery.com. They actually have a chart on their website that shows the run time for different appliances. CPAP’s are one of the items on the chart. Obviously, you’ll get a different run time depending on the size Jackery you buy. Also, I recommend checking the wattage listed on your machine. It’s probably on the bottom. Units running a humidifier will draw more energy. I quit using a humidifier a couple years ago, so naturally I’ll get more run time.
