My purchase of the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 was driven by price, it had been significantly reduced at the time of purchase (£450), although i had previously looked at it. It has a 1070Wh battery which is more than enough for my needs.I purchased for a camping trip in the Lake District, it held up really well charging electronic devices (DC), an LED strip light (AC) and a heated throw (AC) for night time which provided much needed warmth. We had an electric pitch which meant that we could re-charge the Jackery daily, but having had a positive experience, i am looking to make an additional purchase of the 100W or 200W SolarSaga Solar Panels; this should provide enough charge during the day for night time use.I have a gas stove to boil water and make meals during camping trips, but the Jackery 1000 v2 would easily power a small kettle, toaster and hob for short periods of use, great for non-electric camping pitches.It is a small enough item, it travelled in the rear footwell of our car, it isnt lightweight; but easy enough to carry 1 handed.There is a lot of competition in the Solar Battery space, but i chose Jackery on the brand name. I had a query with customer services which was resolved professionally and quickly, fantastic customer service.

I needed a power station because my village gets regular power cuts & I wanted something I could also use in a camper. There is huge choice in this sector but the balance is between capacity, portability & cost.The capacity of the explorer 1000 is sufficient to power my phone, tablet, laptop, speaker, lights & an electric blanket for at least 5 hours. That’s what I wanted & what it gives me. Its peak capacity is 1500w meaning it won’t run most kettles, toasters or air fryers. But that doesn’t worry me. If you want to run domestic appliances get a bigger unit.Its portability & practicality is excellent. It has a smart design with a folding rubber gripped handle meaning you can stand your electrical stuff on the flat top to charge. It has rubber pads on the base which are very grippy. The outputs, 3 pin, USB a & c (x2) plus 12v car type socket pretty much cover everything. It’s a shame there is no cover for the 12v socket. I’ve had to add my own. It’s easy to carry one handed & the rubber grip on the handle means it feels secure. The power cable isn’t the longest but a standardised power plug means it’s easy to swap out if you want to. The solar panel is light & well designed. It has a comfortable carrying handle & variable pop out stands meaning you can change its angle when using outdoors. It even has a small sun gauge in a corner to let you get maximum power. I haven’t used it yet in anger as it’s winter, but I have no doubts it will work. The solar power cable is about 10’ long & has USB a & c outlets half way down increasing its usefulness on the road.As for affordability, I got it during a Black Friday sale & it was almost half price. At full price there are multiple alternatives I would choose if money was my primary concern. But buy in this sort of sale & you can’t go wrong.The final comment comes from a friend who is a small camper owner who uses his (different make) power station far more than I do. “I wish I’d seen this instead”.I believe the unit was designed by ex Apple engineers. If true I can see the similarities to Apple products. Expensive but brilliantly designed.

Excellent product. Bought this to add off grid power for camper van but use it the garden for portable power. Using the app you control remotely, handles all ac, dc and usb power scenarios.It is heavy to carry but has a good handle and it is built like a tank. I bought the carry case which makes carrying and storing nice and straightforward.

Very well made. Sturdy and easy to use. A must for campers and mobile homes, while off-grid.

Recently bought so I may occasionally update my review.I selected the 1000 which is an entry level model, mainly due to the fact I can't afford any more powerful models.I like the overall build quality and the device seems robust and delivered on it's promises and specs.On the positives it charged relatively fast on mains power, but I am still to test it charging via a DC car adapter.I used it to power a fridge freezer and seems to hold power for plenty of hours.I noticed that the unit discharged even without load, but it does have an option to automatically turn off.On a side note I bought it during spring "sales" to discover that after the end of the "sales" period the price was the same after adding a "voucher".Update: as expected charging via car DC output is relatively slow and it could take more than 9h to charge up to 85%

Well impressed with this power station.pro's.Charges fairly quickly using the app, but a bit slow without. Actually, I prefer doing a slow charge as it is less strain on the circuitry and the battery.We had a gathering and had several stuff plugged into it for hours. Mostly low current items like a projector, 100w amp, chargers, lighting, mixing deck, etc.... All at the same time and it only used 5% of the battery.Cons, a bit pricey.Definitely Recommend buying. I would of got the 2kw V2 if it was a lot cheaper.

So much power compared to the Jackery 500, and the current deal makes this a bargain if you can afford it. As the owner of a Jackery 500 and not being able to power a kettle I decided to buy a Jackery 1000 so that I can power my small George Foreman grill and my travel kettle both which are about 650w, plus I can power just about anything and charge my Stihl batteries for work if required- in fact you could charge 2 at the same time with this power output. TWO SOLAR PANELS can be plugged directly into the side for charging too making sense in good weather. A USEFUL ADDITION TO MY KIT FOR WORK PURPOSES MAKING A BUSINESS EXPENSE WORTHWHILE FOR CHARGING MY GARDENING EQUIPMENT !
