- When It comes to products like this, you will often times find videos on RUclips which amount to nothing more than unboxings but with TOGR we do things differently;
I've been testing this product for over 6 months, I've taken it across the country to Colorado and have relied on it for countless adventures into the middle of nowhere and I have a lot to share.
This is a real overland review of the Jackery Explorer 1000 Power Station.
Also, I review the Jackery 100w Solar Panels.

Included : 1* Jackery Explorer 1000 Portable Power Station, 1*AC Adapter, 1* Car Charger Cable, 1*SolarSaga Parallel Adapter Cable, 1* User Guide
Review Pros :
Excellent quality - I’ve had no issues with this device; it has always worked flawlessly with no errors nor problems
3 standard PURE SINE WAVE AC outlets
Multiple ways to charge - Wall, DC, Solar
Power Levels is in percentages and not bars; bars are absolutely pointless and will get you into trouble as you will never be able to know exactly how much power you have left. Also, you won’t be able to determine how much power something that you plug in is being used.
1000w limit is great for running multiple items and appliances all at once and for running appliances that are under 1000w range.
Excellent Warranty - easy to contact the company via their web site and also via phone. Not all companies who make and sell power stations provide a phone number to call.
Dual Solar panel adapter cable included
Quick Charging via all methods;
8 hours by connecting two SolarSaga 100W solar panels together with an adapter cable
16 hours to charge via a single panel -
Solar Charge times are very much subjective and will be based on solar intensity, direction and so on.
Time for full recharging is approximately 7 hours from an AC outlet
11 hours from 12v car ports but your mileage will vary as there are differences in vehicles.
Features an Anderson Power port so you can use solar panels with this system
Good weight : I have larger power stations but they are a chore to move as they are very heavy. 22Lbs, isn’t bad
If charging via your start battery when the vehicle isn’t running, it does have built in protection so that you have enough juice to start. I don’t recommend doing this as you should drain your start battery.
Silent operation
Simple power solution for those who don’t want to mess with a dual battery system.
Review Cons :
Wattage usage can be slow to present on the lcd screen.
Flashlight isn’t super reliable.
Review Summary :
Without a doubt, the Jackery brand is the one Power Station Brand that I can easily recommend as it checks off all of the boxes for what I feel makes an excellent power station.
Lots of power, excellent peak wattage range, reliable, lots of ways to charge, quick to charge, power levels are in percentages, and can be charged via dc 12v.
1000wh is an excellent capacity for overlanding and also for emergency use; speaking of which, I’ve ran this station for months now and not once have I had any issues. I use it mainly to power my DC fridge/freezer and it has been excellent.

I have been waiting for an honest review on the Jackery. It seems everyone is trying to sell you on them on youtube. But.... sponsored videos can take the honesty out of it. So glad I heard it from Luke. When you are on the fence about something, Luke is the tipper that can push you, and you can trust.
EEEEEXXXAAAACCTLLLYYYY!
I took a look at the reviews which were on RUclips after I filmed mine and almost all of them were unboxing/mailbox reviews. Not a one that I saw even tested the unit....
- Luke
Go on now; your just trying to help Luke line his pockets.
@Jean-Louis Bourgeois That someone would be paying either $13,00.00 or $16,00.00 for the entire package, but if you got plenty of green, well then, I guess it doesn't matter to you.
@@TheOutdoorGearReview I like your reviews, but for a Lithium battery I'll go with Will Prowse's, which includes testing. ruclips.net/video/wS5FgB-DD0w/видео.html He has other reviews on other Jackery models as well as some of the competition.
*Love how quite it is, New **Generater.Systems** maneuverable enough would be better with a little bigger wheel*
I bought a 240 from Jackery. Months later they held a promotion where they were giving away a small power bank for the purchase of the 240. I emailed them, told them I bought mine months earlier and can I have one please. 2 weeks later, I got my power bank. Not only were they quick to respond, you have to respect that level of customer service and support
that's exactly the opposite of my experience. 18 attempts to contact them by email/ facebook etc... and nothing......
@@pseudopuppy160 what was your problem? covid probably has them with less employees
That's awesome. When you commit to supporting a company with a product at this price point, it's great to see the company reciprocating your patronage. Shows how good this company is and it builds customer loyalty.
They recently had a similar offer, except they let you have the smaller unit, AND they gave you a free adopted kid from a war-torn, third, world country. I let them know I had purchased 3 of those 240 units, and a week later, I now have 3 kids who don't speak English. Sweet deal! Thank you Jackery!!!
Damn that’s really awesome. Kinda makes me want to go with them over other companies
I needed a unit ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y that I could store in my home when I wasn't running, so it being light and running on propane were key requirements. I can store the propane tank/bottle outside yet store the generator in my home when it's not in use as I will never put any gas in the engine. It is so light, and on echo mode, which I expect is how it will be used most of the time, it is pretty darned quiet (certainly compared to all the generators I hear in my neighborhood after each power outage).Many of the previous reviews had me concerned that it would be difficult to start on propane, but I have to say, I had absolutely no problem at all. I primed it first using the choke...3 pulls, heard the engine want to start, flipped it to propane, and one more pull and she started. I ran it for 2 hours the first time and plugged it in my fridge. And when I was done, I put the propane tank away and carried the generator to my basement for next time.I could not be happier.
3 yrs later and I'm still considering buying that same unit. I don't have a ton of needs to justify anything bigger. I love that the company is USA based for support help. I love that it is controlled by me instead of a phone application. I like the ruggedness of it. And the sturdy handle for lugging it. All in all it simply and functionally meets my needs ♥. MY CAMPING STYLES ARE:
1. Chevy Classic 1500 Conversion Van with the EXPLORER package upgrades.
2. Moto Tent Camping with 2 Vespa Scooters.
3. 19ft Airstream Bumper Pull Camper
4. Our Full-size Motorcoach for stays of 3 months or longer and Van goes with us too so even more camping options during longer stays.
IN CLOSING: Well then, that's why I like that Power Station unit. 😊
Have the Jackery 500 and it has worked flawlessly the whole time . Jackery is a great company !!!
Everything I get ends up stolen anyway... I don't bother anymore.
Same. I've used my 500 on 5 camping trips so far and it has been a reliable energy source. I'll be upgrading as soon as I can just so I can use more electronics.
@@timhosler6759 more Electronics while camping? Aren't you missing the point? LOL but yeah I appreciate all the stuff too still I hope you have a little time for nature
@@openeverydoor8879 the point is to have a good time I would say.
How long is the run time?
I did a fair bit of research on this type of power station and was leaning heavily toward this one. Your honest review tipped the scale and I bought this one today. Thank you so much!!
hey just reaching wondering if you still like? how has it been holding up?
Been watching reviews for a year on jackery...just took my 1400 stimulus and bought the 2 100 solar panels and jackery 1000...I pray I made the right decision because now I'm kinda broke lol
What was his teaching involving a Camel and the eye of the needle? Ahem!
@@shravaka6241 ignorance at its highest... When the power grid goes down I will be the only one that I know who has solar panels and a solar generator cooking my food turning my fan on and staying cool and charging my phone by the way..ahemmmm
Just purchased the 1000 today w/ two solar panels $1400. I live in the hurricane zone south Mississippi. I have a 20kw Generac that runs on natural gas, but I’ve always feared a disruption in my gas service following a disaster, so this package is a solid plan B.
Just got my setup going and am so impressed. I'm not sure I chose "perfectly" since in 2024 there are some new options, and I find the fixed plastic handle a bothersome element in my already-crowded rear compartment, but I got a huge deal on both the battery and the solar panel. It really is as "plug and play" as you describe, so I was able to put it into my rig immediately. If it were a perfect rectangle with a foldable handle I'd have a bit less regret, but the idiot-proof power for days is simply astonishing
Can't wait to make some outdoor off-grid solar-powered synth videos :)
Great review! I dropped mine from waist hieght onto the parking lot while unloading my gear. It literally bounced on the pavement. Has still worked perfectly without one hiccup.
I also just bought the jackery 1000 and 1 solar panel although I haven't even tried out my solar panel yet, but I love the jackery.. works great
We appreciate you doing these reviews because ultimately you save us money and time and heartaches or show us great items thanks
Luke introduced me to UGQ Quilts (😍) and so many other items and saved me hundreds on things I’d have been taking a chance on. Luke is my go to and when I type in something for a review and see Luke has covered it I feel reassured.
I have an explorer 1000 and I'm super happy!... Also Jackery's customer service is excellent++ 👍
I’ve lived off grid in my little bus for just over two years. I have a pair of Jackery 240 Lithium, one at each end. I have used them every day and charged them various ways. I have never had a single problem in over 2 years of constant use.
I’ve been salivating over this unit and finally decided to pull the trigger after a cheaper version from another company left me unsatisfied. The price tag had me hesitant but your agenda free review gave me the confidence I needed to go thru with it. I always trust your opinion. Thanks Luke
Can I ask which brand it was and why it left you unsatisfied? Thanks!
My wife Sheila and I are van dwellers we have a jackery 500 it's wonderful quality we can't afford the thousand one but maybe one day love the videos keep them coming
This review is 'ON POINT' thanks Luke for a full detailed review, once again!
Thanks for the review! I just picked up The Jackery 1000 for $300. There was a flash sale on Amazon. So I'm extremely excited to try it!
My family and I live in a apartment. With the economy being unstable and the government being as nuts as it has been, my husband and I figured we better get serious about planning for emergencies in case the power goes out. I saw the Jackery 1000 on Amazon and saw that 90% gave it five stars. I decided to look on RUclips for reviews and your video was the first one I found. After hearing what you had to say, I think it will be a wise purchase. I love how portable it is and quiet. If I get a infrared heater for the winter, and the power goes out, it will be perfect to keep our appliances going and our place warm!
I've just purchased the Explorer 1000, solar panel and carrying case and I'm very happy with the build quality. It is exactly as I saw on Amazon UK. I really enjoyed your video. I've subbed you and watching your snow in the forest video. You live in a beautiful part of the world! Best regards from England.
Love the channel and the reviews that you give! I couldn't agree with you more about the Jackery products. I have the 240 model and it works great for my needs. I have also tried many portable power units over the years and this is the first one that seems to be well built and reliable.
Great review, Luke. I especially liked how you hooked all those gadgets up to it and showed them all charging at once.
Epic review as always. The unit looks like a durable, dependable unit. Thanks for the great review.
I've been doing the homework I normally do when researching purchases such as this and I'm sold after your wonderful and thorough review. I looked at reviews of power stations, the best of etc for 2022. The Jackery is at the top of every one of them. When I'm out building on my property it's off grid and this is perfect. Thanks.
Many of us camp, backpack, and overland... given the big overlaps of those activities, I like how you review a variety of products that are of interest for all or just some of those activities.
I am a 54 year old grandma. I picked one of these with one solar panel. Easy peasy. Grandma can figure it out, so you can too. I'm going to pick up another solar panel as soon as my budget allows. Thanks for the tip that the panels aren't water proof. I haven't read the Manuel yet and didn't know that.
Thank you for explaining how long it takes to charge using the three options. You are the only reviewer that cared enough to share this vital information!
Quality is priceless in something that can deliver what you have shown us. Thank, Luke.
I returned mine wouldn't take a charge past 30% way too much for it not to work out the box .
Damn! I've been looking at this specific one for a bit and you've got me convinced. Very much appreciate your time and the thorough review, brotha!
Thank you for this thorough assessment. I wondered about the ability to power a fridge and your video successfully answered all of my questions.
Just got mine today. This review eased some of my anxiety / buyer remorse. Will post my experience after testing this thing out
Wow, incredible review. Straight forward, concise, and I’m able to understand everything you said! Well done!
The customer service information is highly interesting. Thanks for the agenda-free review!
Mine comes tomorrow and I’m pumped! Thank you for doing this review! Great job!
Excellent video and very well made!
This look like a great product to try, and I think I will. Once again a great review. Thanks Luke. Peace!!!!
I have been running the Jackery 500 for several months, No complaints at all !
Spot on review !!!
Hi. I am deciding on the 500 or 1000 model. I need if for 2-3 days wild camping and want to run a 12v fridge and charge up a few things when needed...do you think the 500 is capable? thanks 🙂
I love that you added the Celsius for those of us that use it! Great review!
I purchased a Jackery 1000 AFTER I purchased a Jupiter 1500 watt inverter. When I saw all the wiring needed for the inverter, I changed my mind and got the Jack 1000. My thought was you’re still running off your truck battery. No worries now with the 1000.
I went camping and it was cold at night, I had brought an electric blanket and used it 3 nights on 4 setting! The next mornings I plugged in my 6 cup coffee maker no problem. Numerous charges on iPhones & iPad. Over the 3 days I never got below 50% power
So now that I’ve watched your video..... I’m gonna purchase a 12v fridge .... this is all your fault LoL
You’re right about this Jack 1000 best purchase I’ve made! This makes short camping trips VERY comfortable and you confirmed long overland trips as well.
Great review as usual. Very informative. Thanks for all the work you put into these reviews. Helps us all out more than you know
I’ve got the 240 and the 50watt panel. Works well. Does great on drone batteries while keeping the cell phone going. Ran my fridge for 2 days (low of 40- high of 55) without solar. Definitely happy with the purchase.
Thank you. Watched a couple of video reviews and yours put me over that line. I ordered it and looking forward to camping with it.
We just bought the 1000 based on my research, but it was nice feeling validated after watching your video. Thank you.
Thanks. U sold me on the hackery 1000. Buying as soon as the ad is over. Getting my overlander gear setup now not only for trips but bug out emergencies too. Thanks Luke.
Just found this channel, this review answered every question I could think of, thanks!
Hey Luke i can say thanks for the info on this unit it made me go out and get it because where i live i lose power alot and it will help a ton keep up the good work
Great review. Thank you Luke. Raining here on the coast of NC.
They sure have come a long way in the last ten years. That looks awesome. Hopefully they become more popular and drop in price in the years to come. To pricey for me still in Canadian beaver peso's. I bought a lil Jackery battery pack a few years ago. Only 6000 mah but it is still going strong and took a major beating. They seem like a alright company.
Thanks for the review, I have been on the fence of getting Jackery brand for my sister for her car camping, and I am more confident now to choose one - a smaller, less expensive Jackery though; and maybe one for myself, looks like it would be handy during hurricane season.
I’ve had one for a few months. I have 2 of the rockpals 100w panels instead of the Jackery brand. They work great. I haven’t powered all of the things I want to test it on yet, but so far it’s done amazing on air pumps and electronics type things.
Okay! I already have the Jackery 500 and it works great! But Jackery knocked off $100 the 1000 and I ordered it this morning! I need to run my fridge, fan and CPAP. Now I’m all set! Great gear!😉
Ordered aJ 1000 on Black Friday. Shipped today, sun Nov 28, expected delivery on Tuesday, Nov 30, 2021.
I’m excited to test. And thanks to Luke for his objective review.
OUTSTANDING REVIEW AND I MUST CONCUR AS I HAVE BEEN USING MINE FOR OVER FOUR YEARS. THANKS FOR SHARING, MY FRIEND...
oh i am glad your doing a review on the jackery.. i love it myself.
Thanks for the review. I'm picking up a Modern Buggy teardrop trailer this weekend and it comes with this Jackery. I had some concerns that this power set up might not meet my needs, but you put me a little more at ease.
I've been looking at this generator and after seeing your review on it I'm going to get one to have for camping and any outdoor activities.
Have been considering a Jackery. Good to know they are solid units.
I have the Jackery 500 and it's great. I highly recommend it.
Thank you for this review! They have this unit on special right now for $850 Canadian dollars! This is going to be perfect for my fish tank in case of power outages.
Thank you for this review. I've been considering the Jackery 500 as an emergency backup power supply for the pellet stove fan in the winter. While we don't *usually* have power outages, it does happen. Since this is quite an outlay for strict budgets, I so appreciate the honest review of quality!
Hey
I have the Jackery 1000 and 1000 Pro also the little 300 unit. Best thing I've ever brought myself.
Thank you. I've been waiting for a Jackery review that I could trust.
Glad to see your opinion, I just dropped for the Solar Saga 1000 kit from Jackery, looking forward to camping/overland use and it will certainly serve as emergency power at home as well. As always thanks for a great agenda free review I am much heartened with my investment having seen this. It was cheaper from the factory than on Amazon and free shipping too. Got a 12% off coupon while shopping it as well.
Hey Luke my Dad has that he got his last year he takes it on the boat and his camper he likes it a lot any way hope y'all are doing well much love your way be safe have a wonderful day
Thanks Luke been looking into getting a power station and this will help me pull the trigger.
Thanks Luke, appreciate your review. 😊
I have two smaller Jackerys ( 160 and 240 ) and a couple ( 300 and 500 w ) from other brands .... guess what i choose when time came for a bigger one ? A Jackery Explorer 1000 , why ? everything works ,every time, with the Jackerys , no unreadable screen or useless display ,no loud fans all adapter are included ... they just work well and are well designed . So i guess i agree with you ! Thanks for the always excellent reviews .
I appreciate your video. I have the unit you are describing and the panels. My solar panels did not come with a compartment with the Anderson power cords. Mine came in a separate box. Found them.
Thanks so much for this review. Been considering which brand to buy and this is what i was leaning towards, but feel much better about it with your confirmation. I plan to install a semi-permanent 110 watt solar panel on my truck topper from northern tool for less than $150.
Ordered mine today, but without solar panels, got even a $150 coupon through Amazon! I came here to see what charging cables/options come in the box, glad everything is inclusive, for this price I expected it. My SUV camping is going to be so much more easy with this power station, even without solar panels, I don't stay away from home for weeks, so charging of the Jackery can be done in the car while driving. Now I can use my Mini-Bullet, I can't function without a fruit smoothie in the morning, lol. And since I don't have a garage, no mile long extension cables needed anymore for the power tools during the process of converting my Nissan X-Trail into a mini-camper. Wonderful review!
Thanks for the honest review Luke. Will be getting one these in the future. Others online give it a thumbs up 👍🏻 as well.
Just picked up one of those along with a pair of 100W panels. Couldn't be happier. If you purchase the panels as a pair, you get a bit of a discount. As for the 'four ways to charge', maybe that refers to the four types of output (AC, DC 12v, USB-A and USB-C)? Keep up the good work, Luke!
Makes sense. 😲
Is it recommended to purchase two solar panels or will one be sufficient?
@@pault7280 It all boils down to time and time of year. With a pair, you can recharge fully in about 7-8 hours on a bright, sunny day. Obviously, that time will double with only one. Shorter winter days will compromise the recharging as well.
Great review on a great product. Thanks Luke
I went with AllPowers (280wh) for mine and love it. It’s for emergencies mainly, I can run the fridge freezer on it with solar, but it does get the occasional use at the end of the garden.
I am so glad to hear what you are saying about the Jackery 1000 I have a travel trailer HiLo for me a widow it is more than enough for me to go out on the road go fishing and just in general get away from people so I have given this slot of thought thank you for sharing your review I’m sold
When I need something like this , it will be the one I buy!
Researched portable power stations. Jackery by far is proven the best. Your review was extremely helpful and professionally presented. I will be purchasing the 1000w this year. Jackery does need to improve the solar panel to withstand moisture and rain to provide a perfect survival kit. Until such improvements are conducted, I will not purchase the panels. Thanks again for your fantastic review.
Good input sir. Been able to run my J1000 at around 1200w continuous without issues (electric burner), so it's definitely quite capable.
Very handy, depending on your setup. I think the best part about lithium stations like this is portability outdoors. Lead is a bit cheaper to make power, but you aren't going to be taking those batteries around with you.
The various charging components alone is a winner great review
Have the 500 works great love how small it is.
I have a jackery 500 I bought to use in my jeep for overlanding. Excited to try it out. Was bit expensive buying it in Canada.
just bought one for my work trailer, excited to check it out.
I just bought one. Thank you for the review. I’m looking forward to getting acquainted w mine.
Just ordered one a few minutes ago based on all 5 star reviews across the board with over 1000 reviews on Amazon but decided to add the 2 x 100w solar panels
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Very cool. I believe that would be an excellent investment!
I feel the same admiration for my Jackery 500!
Luke, excellent review. If you like it, it’s a quality product.
Hey Luke! That looks and sounds like a great power station. I like how it's not too big and how you can run several things off of it at once. Great video!
Thank you Luke, great review.
I have to say your video is excellent, very thorough. Most of these guys talk about output amounts and tests they've done and what the numbers are which most people don't even understand,.. The only thing you're missed Is telling us where it's made.
I bought Jackery 1000 and 2 solar panels partially based on your recommendation, thanks!
Thank you for the honest opinion of the Jackary 1000 solar generator. I have been researching it for a year and have seen 100's of positive write-ups on it with a few negatives which you will find with anything you purchase. So, I went and bought the Jackary 1000 package ( including 100 w panels) today from Amazon, after viewing your very informative video on it. I think today (Oct 20) was the last day for their sale on it, a reduction of about $300.00 in the full package.. I live in an apartment and during storms and bad weather, I have lost power for about 2 days. So, the main reason for my purchase is for emergency power use. My apartment faces the southwest, therefore I will have no problems setting the panels inside and right in front if my sliding glass doors in my living room.
Thank you for this information and video.

I am considering purchasing the same set up you got, for the same reasons. Are you happy with your purchase? Have you put it to use?
Great review ! I had to have that coffee mug. It came Saturday!
I bought the Jackery 1000 with two solar panels and the 300. I’m currently traveling and it’s performed great!
Your honesty sold me on getting one of these bad boys
I am officially getting this for hurricane season. thank you!
I'm putting this on my wishlist for 2021 and Jackery solar panels.
Thanks for the review I just received mine today ! Looking forward to putting it to use
Have you used it yet? I am considering this model to serve as backup power in my condo.
So this open and honest review, led me to purchase the Jackery 1000, yes there were cheaper, but i want reliability ( isnt that why we buy these in the first - to give you power when we have no other options). I did not purchase the solar panels from Jackery, as i found a better WATERPROOF version from Rockpals, for 2 x 100 panels (their new version) with kick-stands, so they can be angled towards the sun, for around $340 for 2 panels - they have an offer as of now ($40 off) through Amazon - i simply ordered 1 panel twice - so in effect got $80 off the 2 panels. This is an incredible saving over the Jackery Panels and they are waterproof too ! Thanks Luke.
