I have the AllPowers R1500. Its works fine for me. I've used it for about a month now. Sure it's not as efficient as a Bluetti power station but for the price I think it's not a bad deal. Also, all you have to do is read the manual and you'll see that if you press the DC Output button for 3 seconds it will turn on Bluetooth. The app works fine. It's obviously going to be a lot less efficient if you're pushing it near it's max since the fans will be working overtime. These power stations should be used at around 50% max if you want them to perform decently and last. Just my opinion. But to say it's junk... that has not been my experience. But I haven't used their customer service for anything, and I've only used it a month. So I can't speak for it's longevity. I'm also getting 112v out of each outlet (not 108 like you).
Expansion battery is now available and you can preorder them so no more false advertising. Model name is B1000 and apparently you can expand R1500’s capacity upto 4,608Wh.
I have had the same power station for a year and it works flawlessly. (and at exactly 120 volts). And mine has never over heated. And i got mine as a package with two of the 200 watt solar panels for $600. Previously I had a Jackery that was junk compared to the Allpower.
I bought a R1500 a few months ago. Took it out of the box plugged in the AC charging cable, was charging @ 384w. I then turned on the AC inverter button (with nothing plugged into the R1500) and it tripped the breaker in my house. I then plugged into another outlet on a different breaker and it also tripped that breaker. There was no AC load - just turning the AC button on. It went right back in the box.
@davidparker7156 yes. But that is a moot point - the charging speed was already at the slowest charging speed and that is not what tripped my houses outlet breaker- turning on the R1500 AC inverter was what caused the issue.
You should suggest that people use Pecron’s products. I own the E600LFP and love it! The PECRON E1500LFP is comparable to this unit but, the Pecron meets all its specs, is upgradable, has a 5 year warranty, and is fairly inexpensive at only $759. It’s worth “at least” acknowledging as an option.
A very informative video & I like the honest approach of stating the good and bad. I just subscribed so I can avoid mistakes as I pursue solar for home backup.
The thing is.. i've checked out alot of RUclips affiliate links for the Anker c1000 and other systems. But they only ate eligible for US citizens or outside Europe. In Europe we're stuck with EcoFlow, Jackery and these competitive brands. And the prices are almost DOUBLE of what they go for in US. So yes, it's not that good.. but it's affordable. That allpowers goes for 800 eu in Germany.. and solar panels are additional 250..
Love my first PS a Blueitti AC180 for ins against outages. I use it around the house since outages don't happen much. Even gave up my gym membership as this is 36#.
I was looking at AllPower products and was tempted with the low price. But was not confident of quality and longevity- thanks for video it helps me make a decision!
For better portability and dead silence even under continuous full load check out the fanless 1kWh/1000W units sold by Zendure (Superbase M) or Goneo (Silent 1000).
All powers is kinda hit and miss. They would be way better to adjust their spec. I have one of their panels I like, I have one of their inverters I hate . For a power box I got lucky, Aferiy. Weird name. Half the size you reviewed, I carry it so it is a good weight for me. 800w, 500wh. It has a funky DC out port they can't support, it turns on weird, inverter seems inefficient, but it charges in 90 minutes at 400w. Lipo. After 3 months, it works good.
I need to find which power stations, have the ability to turn on the AC outlets automatically, when only powered by solar panels, no grid access, no internet access. Such that if uses all of battery over night, and shuts down, once there is sufficient battery charge from solar the next sunny day, it will kick on the AC outlets, automatically on its own, without requiring any human interaction. Please provide links to power stations with this capability. thx
I think you got a bad unit. I have the identical Allpowers 1500 with no issues. I run my 1500w hair dryer for 10 minutes with no issues at all. My unit also charges to 100% in less than an hour. And it has bluetooth. My 100w solar panel charges it nicely as well. Maybe talk with Allpowers about the discrepancies you found with that unit.
I OWN the 240V AU Paid $1000, mine 1500w capacity and I was sent the PRO with the RV Power plug too. It works well asside from noisy fans. Mines never overheated and mines not the LPF battery version. My uint isnt expandable so you seem to have reviewed a newer edition. When I emailed them, I got a prompt reply so that was good, and getting the PRO version was a nice thing too. LFP isnt a deal breaker, by the time ive charged and disscharged enough, better tech will have replaced LPF! ALLPOWER need to have updateable firmware and updates to imropove and fix problems like fan profiles or the mobile app, then they would indeed be a garanteed got cheapo bestbye for sure. Im hoping they evolve quickly as they can own this segment! Otherwise pay the diff and wait for an ECOFLOW IMO. All the others, all suffer from the same problems and only ECO have the track record of after sales and firmware support!
Excellent show! Great explanation have you looked at the vtoman range? They're pumping out some budget priced units that pack a punch? I think it's worth putting it on your show.
Agree. Out of all the Chinese newcomers, Pecron is the one that actually producing nice quality units and stands behind them. Allpowers is shady as hell and the fact that they misrepresent capabilities on the website is all one needs to know before trying them out.
The wireless charging on my Bluetti EB70 is just one of its many design disasters because it drains the battery overnight when using only a 3w DC load. So don`t expect the normal "all weekend" DC fridge test to be anything but a huge letdown. Running a 5w USB fan on low shouldn`t use up over 50ah in one night. Because of the wireless charging my pocket sized USB power brick has more capacity to power a fan than a power station costing 480 dollars more. What a feature!
Buy cheap you get cheap, never go with the cheapest brand, unless it is thoroughly reviewed over years. They usually do not stand up, but mid range is great.
Very apparent you didn't use this unit for any extended amount of time. The app will let you put it in Max mode to get 1500w charging. Plus the instruction book tells you how to activate Bluetooth. As for your power draw, it may be your unit.
To get to 650w solar you dont need lower voltage panels, yuu just need to connect them in parallel instead of in series. Also "i don't know where the 1500 comss from" then he proceeds to list to areas wfwre the 1500 comes from (the ac input and the real inverter output)
Have you ever heard of a brand called Forza Power Technologies? Just bout a 700w Portable Unit and the specs are quite impressive when compared to other competitors with same power
How's it going you seem like you know what you're talking about so please answer this question for me my wife our two kids and I all live jn tents up in the mountains and I'm looking to invest my money into something reliable and that can keep us warm something I can plug in to an outlet to charge something that would last about 9-24 hr that also has solar charging as well to connect a panel if i wanted and expandable batteries. What would you recommend
Hi there!! I am huge on Ecoflow and Ankor products. A family member bought the X2 Powers X2-600 Power station yesterday for under $300 on sale fron Battery+ along with the solar panels, battery jump starter and inflator. I could not find any reviews or information on them except that the power station does use LifePO4. Any working stats would be appreciated. The family member couldnt even tell me if its pure sine wave or modified.
Thank you. Even at $500 it's a considered purchase for me & I'd have to save for it. I would have been mortified to buy this. This for me, is the great thing about Content Creators such as yourself & RUclips. Thanks again.
Nice video, but try and get the dabbsson power station its way better than the allpowers. Dabbsson is actually a good one I am save to get the 3500watt unit but check that one out it's like a more affordable ecoflow 🎉😊 keep doing your thing
Most stuff I charge I can do on the van battery. The only thing I need is to keep my mobile wheel chair charged up. I have fans lights that are solor themselves. I'm on disability I can't afford anything like that. What should I get for my chair.
When it says press and hold the bluetooth/wifi button it means on your phone, not on the power station. You also need to have location turned on. It confused me at first, I think it's poor translation.
@@stedyone1090 If it’s only on one review, I wouldn’t be concerned with it. It’s a trustworthy name brand that’s been around for quite a while, unlike many of these fly by night component flippers. If I had to choose between any of the more recent contenders and an established brand, I’d take the established brand every time.
how about FREMO Portable Power Station X700,662Wh LiFePo4 Battery Solar Generator w/2 Upto 110V/1000W AC Outlet,DC 12V Car and USB Ports(Solar Panel Optional), Solar Generator for Home Use,Outdoor Camping,RVs
Yes, please review VTOMAN Flash 500. Relatively cheaper than EcoFlow and the only one I was able to afford. I used full charged VTOMAN Flash 500, charged my Kia EV6 with it and was able to extract 1.25kWh before it displayed 0% capacity. So around 80.7% efficiency, but probably more if used on something else than charging EV. The extra battery is kinda fishy though. I haven't seen it completely drained or recharge from zero. Even when completely drained, recharging it will display 50% starting point. Also, the extra battery will fail to recharge if the AC output is ON and there's active consumption, you need to kill the AC output first, wait for the extra battery to start recharging before turning ON the AC output again.
Some say shady company have 4 allpower batteries and 1 bluetti c70 had two blown allpowers relplaced on both occasion and even send a larger newer ones in place cannot ask for more all bought via ebay uk i can only give allpower 10 stars out of 10
Attention solo lab. I am a busker. And I would like to. Power my Super Reverb Deluxe. Amplifier at 45 watts. I was told I would need a sine wave Generator. Could you suggest a? Solar powered generator that. Would work well with that I will also be using a Boss Emmy 90 foot pedal at 12 volts. Iam hoping to get my playoing time to 6 hours.
I love how he says I don’t know where the 1500 comes from but you can charge on ac at 1500 watts. Ummmm you answered your own question in the same sentence hahahha
Did you perform a .2C test to determine efficiency? That's the industry standard. Sounds like the fans aren't working correctly, if at all. Charging or discharging at or above the overall capacity of the battery is not good for longevity. I'm not saying this is a good product, but your testing could have been a lot better.
Allpowers is an extremely shady company. They've been known to not hold up their end of the deal on some of their kickstarter campaigns. Their customer service has been non existent for me. F*ck them.
This is confusing to me as I see a lot of negative reviews on both Eco Flow and Bluetti power stations. So much so that there are refurbished ones being sold a lot online. I mean are they not all from China on the internal components? The reviews of these things even the popular brands can really scare one away from buying an expensive brick. There is a brand that no one has really reviewed called EcoPlay 2400. It would be interesting to see what it does and whats in it?

I would also like to see a review of the Pecron E1500LFP. Looks like it has an expansion battery available.
In the app, you can choose from 3 charging speeds

Thanks for pointing out the poop so we don’t step in it.
its not poop. This noob doesnt even no how to turn on bluetooth which is pathetic. He is jus biased
Review the Pecron E2000 LFP. Really good value for the cost. Nearly same price of R1500. More powerful.

The Wi-Fi/Bluetooth is turned by a second ‘long press’ on the dc out button… The App has issues…
so where is the link so i can buy your approvals as i know its not displayed here
It might be 1500 watt on a 230v ac back over in the old country
I am very impressed with your review! It was enjoyable to watch and straight forward facts with a lot of research. I hope All Powers is watching!!!
Just checked on Amazon UK, this unit works out at $907!!!
The Anker C1000 is $600. Just spend the extra $100 and get a quality unit that won't fail you.

Would love to see you review a vtoman flash speed 1500 👍
how about FREMO Portable Power Station X700,662Wh LiFePo4 Battery Solar Generator w/2 Upto 110V/1000W AC Outlet,DC 12V Car and USB Ports(Solar Panel Optional), Solar Generator for Home Use,Outdoor Camping,RVs
New to PowerStations. Do you ever evaluate Backup UPS units?
Yes, please review VTOMAN Flash 500. Relatively cheaper than EcoFlow and the only one I was able to afford. I used full charged VTOMAN Flash 500, charged my Kia EV6 with it and was able to extract 1.25kWh before it displayed 0% capacity. So around 80.7% efficiency, but probably more if used on something else than charging EV. The extra battery is kinda fishy though. I haven't seen it completely drained or recharge from zero. Even when completely drained, recharging it will display 50% starting point. Also, the extra battery will fail to recharge if the AC output is ON and there's active consumption, you need to kill the AC output first, wait for the extra battery to start recharging before turning ON the AC output again.
The problem is that '110v' was overused and became accepted as the actual voltage :(
Hey, how about Ouikitel or FFPOWER?
Did you try the Pecron E1500LFP? It's presently 759$ an I'm think it's a good alternative.
Some say shady company have 4 allpower batteries and 1 bluetti c70 had two blown allpowers relplaced on both occasion and even send a larger newer ones in place cannot ask for more all bought via ebay uk i can only give allpower 10 stars out of 10
Attention solo lab. I am a busker. And I would like to. Power my Super Reverb Deluxe. Amplifier at 45 watts. I was told I would need a sine wave Generator. Could you suggest a? Solar powered generator that. Would work well with that I will also be using a Boss Emmy 90 foot pedal at 12 volts. Iam hoping to get my playoing time to 6 hours.
I see you have the Bluetti EB240 at the top-right of your shelf. Did you ever review it? I have one and I'd love to watch you break one down.
Wireless charging comes with losses though.
Yeah all the other reviewers show it being.a much Better unit than what you tested
I love how he says I don’t know where the 1500 comes from but you can charge on ac at 1500 watts. Ummmm you answered your own question in the same sentence hahahha
SECOND THRUTH using 400 watt panel charged in 40 min via uk 230V
Good review. Thanks.
Did you perform a .2C test to determine efficiency? That's the industry standard. Sounds like the fans aren't working correctly, if at all. Charging or discharging at or above the overall capacity of the battery is not good for longevity. I'm not saying this is a good product, but your testing could have been a lot better.
Your Jakery link in the description points to a device you said "don't buy" in the video.
Haha 🤓
check out the OUPES 1800 Portable Power Station | 1800W 1488Wh. I have one of the bigger OUPES and like it.
Push the DC button 3 sec for wifi/bt
Than*
Try aferiy, they are great and cheap. I have lots of them.
Thanks for the test. Was this one a lemon or typical quality? Fail.
They don’t have the expansion cords
I don't like power stations, once they are out of warranty, how do you get repaired,and at what expense
We have different definitions for dirt cheap I think
Allpowers is an extremely shady company. They've been known to not hold up their end of the deal on some of their kickstarter campaigns. Their customer service has been non existent for me. F*ck them.
Sounds like Bluetti.
Wow nice honest review. Thanks
Your channel must be doing pretty well for you to be able to use solar panels as a feature wall.
That wall was there before we even filmed our first video! They are some older panels donated to us when we were first setting up the space!
@@TheSolarLab - Got’cha. Did you ever try holding the DC button down to turn on the Bluetooth?
Sure did, did the same thing in the video going out today..
Is it pure sine inverter?
All new power stations are pure sine wave. Even the most generic ones.
This is confusing to me as I see a lot of negative reviews on both Eco Flow and Bluetti power stations. So much so that there are refurbished ones being sold a lot online. I mean are they not all from China on the internal components? The reviews of these things even the popular brands can really scare one away from buying an expensive brick. There is a brand that no one has really reviewed called EcoPlay 2400. It would be interesting to see what it does and whats in it?
review a pecron. Would be interesting to see
Press and hold "DC" button for 3 seconds to enable WIFI.
You should test the fossibot f2400
If your in the market for similar specs, do yourself a favor and get the Bluetti AC180. Its more expensive but wont burn your house down.
your version of dirt cheap and mine are two different things .
This is still too expansive. Get a 100 ah DCHouse battery with usbc , USB and 12 volt DC out for 200, and and Vevo 2000 watts inverter for 176
