You can use the inverters also and plug it in the alternator then just turn on the car when youre low in charge then turn it off again. And its quiet also. I have the 5000w and can power shop vac, air compressor, pressure washer the same time.
I just started using my Bluetti EB200 for washing my car last week. I’m also using a $12 17 gal tote for a tank that I attached a $12 bulkhead so I can hook up the water hose. Works pretty good I think. Now I can wash my car at my apartments or anywhere for that matter. Also I’m using the Ryobi 1800 pressure washer.
Interesting. I’ve seen these power banks many times in road trip/camping scenarios. Never would’ve occurred to me to run my electric pressure washer off of one. I can’t justify the price now, but may be an option down the line. Thanks for the idea.
Sir thank you thank you for this video for years.i used gas powered generators and gàs pressure washers.im getting into all electric i have battery powered tools .i agree tired of the fumes also el Electric is the quiet 👍
Real late to the party here, but the likely reason for the extended life cycle is that Oupes uses Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries for it's power stations instead of Lithium Ion. A lot of more modern power stations are moving to that as it has a lot of benefits for this kind of use case.
Q: If the manufacturer has a life cycle of 3500 which works out to ~10 years +/-, why are they only offering a measly 2 year warranty? They know something they didn't want to share with you? Seems odd...
@@strykerentllc You aren't wrong. But they won't. They will just continue to market the part of the product that has the best longevity. Not that the electronics are particularly bad, but they probably won't last 10 years of daily usages. 5 years should be good but definitely not 10.
How would a beginner mobile detailer get around the water situation? Do you need to invest in a water tank right away or is that something you can hold off on for a little while?
Josh! Are you still using this Oupes in your setup? How is it holding up? How many cars do you think you can do with this (interior+exterior)? I’m considering getting one soon!
Yep no problem. The smaller unit I reviewed before actually powered that as well. The ar630 pressure washer was the most powerful thing and this could power it
Generators are never a bad choice. I still use one in my truck, it’s nice cause as long as you have gas you don’t have to worry about running out or battery capacity. This power station is perfect for my needs when I’m working out of my van
Just an assumption so the numbers are random. Let's say you had a 15amp outlet and each charger is 10amps. Plugging both in the same outlet would only get you 15amps. You could plug it into a different socket on a different breaker and get 20 amps. You could also use on charger to connect to a inverter from your battery and the other to another power source like solar if you don't have expensive systems that can give you the full 20amps. Don't kill me for tje numbers, it's random as I was just trying to give you an idea why they have 2 plugs vs 1 huge one.
A Brotha , Thanks for such quick response. Although you peeked my attention on the Mega 5 . I might just go with that unit. Just 1 more ? Bud. Hands down the video & unit you just reviewed, Would you say it's way better than the Eco flo? The reason I asked I was reading some reviews about unit & not good. Amy thoughts?
Hey Josh! I’m confused so i tried running a Ryobi pressure washer with a 50 ft hose and the harbor freight 2000 Watt generator keeps tripping out on overload. The pressure washer is within working amps (13) and the generator says do not exceed 13.3. Why does it keep tripping?
@@MilkCurds I’m no expert, but I believe it pushes the amperage higher with the 1.1. Maybe it will run better with a 1.25, might not get as much foam though.
I have a 3500 predator generator in my truck and that was around 800-900 I think. Inverters are good but you would still need batteries to power them. A generator is a great choice for most operations, but for people that want a gas free option, this is an awesome option
$1300 after free shipping and 10% discount? To early to detailer market for my $. Test shows @ 56% it would only run the ridgid vacuum demanding around 1000 watts for 1hr. Manual says its 2232 watts total energy capacity which is far too low for real business use. Mobile detailers know you can spend an hour+ vacuuming out just one vehicles trashed interior. Your gas smell concerns are because of your vehicle choice (open cab van vs. truck with bed or car with seperate trunk area) limits you to being in an enclosed with sloshing around fuel in the back up gas can and inside generator causing obsessive fumes.
Yea it’s not ideal for all situations and a regular generator gives you unlimited working time as long as you have gas! But this could be a great it for some like me in my van. Like I said I’m the video the gas fumes aren’t an issue at all in my truck since I’m separate from it but for my van when I’m doing more maintenance stuff this thing as awesome
I only spend 10-20 minutes vacuuming, any more time is going to be vacuuming in conjunction with another tool, which still only takes about 10 minutes. I'm positive this would get me through any job depending on how much I use a Polisher. After doing a deepclean of the car I live in, I bet I could still play or watch my ps4 until I go to sleep, lol. Thanks for showing me this, I was having huge issues finding a battery pack/Inverter that doesn't have major downsides. Ego is great since you can swap out batteries, but batteries are as much as the inverter itself, lol. I cant afford either though, lol
It’s not a fit for everyone. But typically these power stations are pretty pricey. It wil be interesting how much cheaper and more powerful they get over the next few years

Can you make a video please?

How’s that Bluetti treating you
After 1 year any issue??
These electric generators have come a long waaaaay. Thanks for sharing!
Agreed!

One of the best vids of using electric generators for detailing 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great review Josh. It's amazing what they can do today with power batteries. Love it !
👍👍

Your videos are super helpful bro! Your doin us a great service, thank you !!
I appreciate that!
Hey Josh, great video and review. Gonna have to check them out.
Thanks

That's because this rating is on the battery. The battery will Outlast the electronics.
@@jabbajawz Maybe they should incorporate better electronics then.
@@strykerentllc You aren't wrong. But they won't. They will just continue to market the part of the product that has the best longevity.

I would like to see a review of the upcoming Vtoman Pro 3000 if you can get it. It's cheaper.
Great review as always. Can you give us an update on how this is holding up? Thanks
You mentioned you can charge the box from your car? Would you be able to charge it while you drive in between customers
It’s really nice. But the price point is a bit high. it’s a good buy after making money from your detailing business.
How is the ridgid quiet compressor with this?
Do you suggest this to a beginner detailer? Never liked gas generators
The Mega 3 is rated at 3,600 Watt.
The Mega 5 is rated at 4,000 watt.
How would a beginner mobile detailer get around the water situation? Do you need to invest in a water tank right away or is that something you can hold off on for a little while?
U do rinsless wash and carry few 1 gallon bottles around
I’m using a 17 gal tote for my home system bought at Lowe’s for $12. I can see it being a temporary mobile solution.
Josh! Are you still using this Oupes in your setup? How is it holding up? How many cars do you think you can do with this (interior+exterior)?
I’m considering getting one soon!
if you've got 1 hour left using that vacuum with 56% power left how the hell you do 2 cars with 44% power? Speed run? =P
you can do one car with it then go home and charge for 6 hours
Have it plugged in to a solar panel to keep power up duh?
can i use with the ar blue 630tss????
Power count: 638
Will it run an air compressor tho at 5cfm
I have a bluetti ac200p 2000w i can use it for detailing too?
hi there, would the generator be good to operate a electric pressure washer from ryobi 2000 psi and if yes, for how long?
Any chance it can start up your rigid 4.5 air compressor?
Yep no problem. The smaller unit I reviewed before actually powered that as well. The ar630 pressure washer was the most powerful thing and this could power it
If it can handle initial start up hit of his AR Blue power washer it can easily handle a Ridgid air compressor.
never mentioned it would run a pressure washer for 2 hours before needing recharged so its not practical at all.
Where was this two days ago !! i just bought a gen to start a detailing business ! hehehe
Which gen did you get? What pressure washer are you using?
Generators are never a bad choice. I still use one in my truck, it’s nice cause as long as you have gas you don’t have to worry about running out or battery capacity. This power station is perfect for my needs when I’m working out of my van

Would this power a kranzle 1322ts with a foam cannon?
Appreciate the content brotha, any idea how this would perform in comparison to a jackery?
Josh. Great video. How does it wk on Kranzle
It fires up no problem. It’s a bit of a struggle on an ar630 but atleastvthe kranzle I have does draw as much power as that
A Brotha ,
Thanks for such quick response.
Although you peeked my attention on the Mega 5 .
I might just go with that unit.
Just 1 more ? Bud.
Hands down the video & unit you just reviewed,
Would you say it's way better than the Eco flo?
The reason I asked
I was reading some reviews about unit & not good. Amy thoughts?
I have a bougerv portable ac it's 250 watts how long could this run that?
Hey Josh! I’m confused so i tried running a Ryobi pressure washer with a 50 ft hose and the harbor freight 2000 Watt generator keeps tripping out on overload. The pressure washer is within working amps (13) and the generator says do not exceed 13.3. Why does it keep tripping?
Maybe the power surge at the startup is too much
@@TboMartinez maybe but as i continue to let the pressure washer run, after about 10 seconds the generator trips out on overload
@@MilkCurds are you running a 1.1 orifice?
@@TboMartinez yes
@@MilkCurds I’m no expert, but I believe it pushes the amperage higher with the 1.1. Maybe it will run better with a 1.25, might not get as much foam though.
Can you run 2 things at once?
For $1.5k you could buy a big ass inverter

@@imjoshv my bad. Generator inverter, those where it doesn't go out loud like a go kart engine
RUclips has turned into a giant infomercial
Agreed, its cool to know before hand what you will get
Companies do send a lot of products in hopes to get in front of more eyes, but I only cover the things that I think are cool and actually useful
Bruh you’re the one clicking on product videos
@@DoctorSoftie I get it from a content creators perspective, make $$$ when you can. It just makes it hard to find unbiased reviews.
This RUclips channel’s whole point is to test new detailing products for detailers to try, you must be new here 😂😂
Do you know how long it will stay charge? I have a Honda EU2200i generator, but I don't know when Commiefornia will outlaw them. Thnx.

Or add solar panels to the roof of your van so it’s always charging 😂
$2400…😅
First 😅
👍👍
anybody on here actually bought one? 😅
you can only do one car with it then you will need to charge it up, takes 24 hours off of the car battery
Lol for $1500+ it better be effing good. Yeah no thankx
