This is a review of the Vtoman Jump 1000 portable power unit, featuring 1408wh of LiFePo4 lithium power as well as it's extra battery with another 1548wh of power. The price is very reasonable for this much battery and the unit tests out well.

Getting out on the road is what Linda and I love to do with our converted cargo trailer camper. We're part time nomads and the nomadic lifestyle suits us to a Tee. Whether your RV is a camper van, camp trailer, travel trailer, motorhome or just a car and a tent, there's going to be something interesting for you in the videos we produce. Back roads and overlanding are part of what we do while exploring the western states for beautiful, peaceful and sometimes remote places to camp on BLM and National Forest land (public land). Taking care of ourselves as much as possible and doing our own repairs is a must because we travel on a fixed income and a limited budget. If you're into being off-grid and boondocking or doing dispersed camping whenever possible then you'll appreciate the discussions on batteries, solar panels and solar chargers or power stations and 12v refrigeration. Come on along, we're happy to have your company!

I just purchased a 600w Vtoman on Amazon for $214 with free shipping and tax. I live out of my Ford EcoSport and this will be my first power station. Newly retired at 66 and living solely on Social security, so I can't buy anything too expensive because I just don't have that kind of money. But I am so excited I bit the bullet and bought the 600 rather than some 300w unit. Thank you for this informative video. Very happy I chose Vtoman! Just ordered a 110w solar panel (not Vtoman, its a Dokio) and I hope I can charge the unit with this panel. They are saying to get prepared for something very bad happening (grid going down) so I want to be able to charge my unit by the sun if there isn't a power grid for weeks on end! God bless all!

@rwstarke Год назад

I recently bought an Edostory NBoost 1500 power station with 1408Wh LiFePO4 battery, 1500W. The front panel looks the same as the VTOMAN except for the far left side which has an AC cord input for the built-in 1500W charger, 400W Anderson input, and a 5521 input. Below that is a 12V 25A RV port plus 2 5521 output ports. It also comes with the Intelligent Jumper Cable. I paid 38 cents/Wh.

@JeffSkymaster Год назад

You do such nice thorough reviews. I can't imagine anyone would have questions after watching. This seems like a decent little unit. Do love that jump start option.

@gonagain Год назад

I always have my jumpstarter handy and have used it more to help other people who's cars won't start than for myself, but it's always there just in case. A jumpstarter by itself is very small.

@cdonuts7335 Год назад

I have a few vtoman power stations all with expansion batteries, they are such awesome value for money. Just be careful if you have a expansion battery make sure the main unit is turned on before you connect them together! Something they don't mention in the manual! You can damage the BMS if you don't!

@betsyoman7173 Год назад

A few comments: Here's my problem: Every time I see a review for a power station, it's better/cheaper than the last one. I keep wondering how long I should wait and when they'll bottom out and be as inexpensive as they're going to get. I think I'll wait a bit longer though, because I don't quite have the dollars yet. I keep finding higher priority things to spend money on! As for those stupid lights that are on all the power stations and even small batteries for charging phones: I wish they would either put the strobe light feature on a different switch or on a different light completely. You're right, no one needs it and would you remember that your power station had the feature? Everybody talks about needing a power station to run the refrigerator/freezer. That's not quite the problem that people thing it is. For one thing, they stay cold when closed, and they only need to run a few minutes out of an hour to stay cold. Another point is that, in cold country, there are several months out of the year when you can either bring snow IN (and put it in the fridge) or take the frozen food outside. We were without power for 26 hours in below zero cold and we didn't think til afterward that we could have put a pan of snow in the refrigerator to keep it cold. We're starting to show signs of spring here and we've still got a couple feet of snow on the ground. I saw a similar report on local TV news about someone complaining about losing food in the fridge and freezer--with snow outside. Shaking my head.

@gonagain Год назад

Hello Betsy, you're so right! I do my freezer cleanout in the middle of winter so that I can just take everything outside to stay frozen while I defrost and clean the freezer. You're also right about how the electronics world is changing from one day to the next.

@jesuschristisking2877 11 месяцев назад

You make a good point about the snow Betsy. However in some parts of the UK it's cold but no snow in winter. So I would have to use my portable power. But agreed you can charge the fridge for or and hour or so to keep it cold etc.

@Steve-Goff Год назад

Wow. The VTOMAN seems like a really solid unit especially at that price. It’s basically 50 cents/WH which is about the cheapest I’ve ever seen on a power station. If I had one, I think I’d make my jumper cables longer so I could set the unit on the ground.

@kathyslaven9473 Год назад

Because the power station price is the same as the additional battery is it possible to buy two power stations and hook them together? It doesn't make sense to pay the same price for the battery and not get the inverter and charger with it

@gonagain Год назад

Hello Kathy, I think you save $100 if you buy the Jump 1000 and the extra battery together ($1300) over buying two Jump 1000s ($1400). I'm not sure you can hook up two Jump1000s together and I would suggest that you contact their customer support directly.

How do you turn the power station off? There is no 'off' button...can you manually turn it off rather than waiting for it to turn off

@gonagain Год назад

It just turns itself off automatically unless you have an AC or DC button on. Turning off those buttons effectively turns the unit off also.

@UPdan Год назад

The only question I can think of is what would be the best deal time of the year on the extra battery if you already own the 1000? Black Friday or 4th of July?

@dattran6372 Год назад

Its called the jump 1000 because its a 1000w inverter. Just like their 1500 is a 1500w inverter. So the name isnt confusing at all.

@Scorge120 Год назад

Hey Rick, I was wondering when you are charging your Jump 1000, do you find that the wattage steadily increases to ~180W before then resetting to 0W, and then going back up to 180W and charging consistently? Wondering if that's normal or if something is up with mine. Thx!

@Scorge120 Год назад

Just saw at 10:53 yours seems to do that as well... strange behavior. But reassuring to see it on someone else's unit!

@chrisk9351 7 месяцев назад

Does it automatically switch over once the extra battery is depleted?

@gonagain 7 месяцев назад

It just uses both batteries as one single battery until both are depleted.

@chrisk9351 7 месяцев назад

@@gonagain Thanks! They seem to be having an issue with their latest unit the FS1500 and extra battery. Apparently once the extra is used up the main unit just shuts off, you have to manually turn it back on to continue.

There is a review on another channel showing the units can be stacked.. simply unscrew the handle on the battery

@@gonagain the only possible issue I can think of is the cable, is it a round cable or a flat cable? A round cable would allow bending in all directions whereas a flat cable would only allow sideways bending.

Hello there Gonagain hope you all are doing well. Hey you wouldn't know any one that would like a Cold would you hardly used I swear.. I do like the fact that you can use it for a jump starter. The PTC and UPS is helpful. I don't think it's bad for the 699 but I'm covered with my two Bluetti's. I'm saving for something bigger. As always Rick nicely done. You all take care stay safe and I'll see you on the next one.

@Cockeyed_Den8213 Год назад

@@gonagain I'm thinking off grid for myself in winter I just can't handle the cold like I use to... Road trips in summer until I just can't any more. So Bluetti's in the trailer and a battery bank in the Cabin and Bluetti's for back up just incase in the Cabin. I know in the house here that my power bill is around 100 a month with AC winter is higher with heat but about 50 KWH a day and it should be less in a Cabin because it will not be as big as this house and wont have a 3 ton AC unit. It's just me now and I get a long well with myself as I always have and I don't need a lot of power plus I'm a good cook and want to cook out side more often so an outside Kitchen is right up my alley and in winter all I eat is Chicken soup Chili and Hamburgers and Schnitzel.. so I can have my Chili and soup in the freezer ready. I use to make about 16 gallons of Chicken soup a year when everyone lived here but now 8 should do me just fine same with Chili..

I’ve seen many reviews on this unit, however not one review has shown a capacity test on a 12v camping fridge. I’d really like to see how long the VTOman will power a 50-70lt 12v fridge before charging. Almost all the other brands with similar functionality have shown a camping fridge capacity review.

@jesuschristisking2877 11 месяцев назад

I have the Vtoman jump 600 with the main unit alone with a 47lt compressor table top fridge I got 18 hours before the battery drained. The expandable 600 jump battery you get toughly 60 hours. This is on the lowest power model 600w. So the 1000 jump extra wil provide many more hours

This thing is a total powerhouse, and it’s saved my butt more times than I can count. Whether it’s jump-starting a dead battery or pumping up a flat tire, the VTOMAN X1 gets the job done with ease.

@randybeeson3424 Год назад

I just got the Vtoman 1800 and love it. One drawback is it takes a while to charge it back up at 200 watts max. On solar with 200 watts it would take 2 days. On AC charging it takes 8 hours from near zero.

@AdrepKeith Год назад

One thing my VTOMAN 1000 wattages don't math up when I plug in a kilowatt meter. Example I plugged in a kilowatt meter on the 1000s plug, then I plugged in a tiny tiny heater. The kilowatt meter read 108 watts. The 1000 read 320 watts. What's the deal with that. I tried several other appliances and the 1000 always read a higher watt output. I tried two different kilowatt meters and got the same result. I am puzzled. But I don't think the 1000s meter is reading correct.

@gonagain Год назад

My first reaction is that the heater is using 320 watts because 100watts doesn't make sense for a heater. It's definitely more than that.

I have to disagree, I looked into a kit to build one at under a 1000wh with LiFePO4, and the total cost of all components comes out between $1000-1400. You could probably use cheaper components, but you get no warranty and you are still close to 1K.

Not a bad unit but only 200w solar hurts it’s value and 80% efficiency is not “really good” it’s average at best.

@gonagain Год назад

Yes it's average but it's good. I've tested at least a dozen different power stations from different manufacturers and the best, in the AC side, was 83 percent. The least was at about 75 percent. What were talking about here is the power used to run the fan, the BMS and the inverter, plus how much power is purposely held back to protect the battery from being discharged too low. It doesn't mean much really and on the DC side you can usually get 97+ percent from any one of these power stations.
