ULTIMATE Overlanding Power Station | VTOMAN FLASHSPEED 1500 Comparison vs. the Competition
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- This is an overview of my power setup for overlanding and car camping adventures. In the spotlight is the VTOMAN Flashspeed 1500 vs. the competition (the Goal Zero Yeti 1500x, the Jackery Explorer 1500 and the Anker Solix F1500). Will you love it? Or will you regret it? This BUDGET friendly portable power station is making some waves with its INSANE one (1:00) hour charge time and its car jumper cable output! Ya, that's right, you can jump your dead car battery with the VTOMAN Flashspeed 1500. And, I think this is the fastest charging 1500wh class battery on the market today. I personally have a Jackery and an Anker - while they are good in their own ways, when you compare them against the VTOMAN, you'll be left scratching your head asking yourself , why would you pay more for those other 'name brands'? Watch VTOMAN go head-to-head against the big name brands!
I'll compare the following between each brand: 1) Life Cycles, 2) Charge Time, 3) Size, Weight, Design, 4) Input/Output Options and 5) Safety #vtoman #flashspeed1500 #portablepowerstation #overlanding #camping #carcamping #vanlife #jackery #goalzero #anker

As someone who owns this unit, I must say I was very skeptical going in but it is that good folks. I have used this for everything around the house when we had an outage due to everyone using an A/C due to heat. I used it for cooking in an electric stove, microwave, fridge, watching TV, keeping the lights on and fans on, and I must say I was absolutely impressed with how much it can handle. When it ran out, I went to my friend’s house and talked for a bit and it was completely charged, and I was on my way. Amazing product for the price. Absolutely recommend!
Oh wow, what an awesome recommendation! This has been my experience as well! 100% Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃
I have to be honest, I have so much respect for your reviews because you take the time to learn about the products you review! Cmon the iceco fridge with the compressor comparison! That’s just research most of us don’t do! That’s why this channel should beat its goal of 10k subs for this year! You deserve 10k a month! I really admire your ethics and research so thank you for everything you do for us newbies!
Oh man, that means a lot to me! I really appreciate your encouragement! I really just love doing this and when I get feedback like this, it really makes it all worth it! I appreciate you, bro! Cheers! 😊 ⭐️ 👊🏼
For anyone purchasing a compatible solar panel for their Flashspeed 1500, please be aware that you need to purchase the panel that puts out between 30 - 60 volts.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention! Great info. Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃
That intro deserves an award. Another great and informative video, Greg. Thanks for putting in the work to compare these power stations, it sure saved me some time.
Hahahahhah! Thanks! Ya, I like to goof around a bit from time to time. That intro was fun to make - gotta keep people guessing!
And, glad you liked the comparison - it really was also a bit eye opening for me! 😳👀
Great video Greg, love the intro...too funny! Love the feature to jump start a vehicle battery, very cool!!!! 👍
Thanks Mike! Hahah - ya, gotta make fun of ourselves a bit from time to time for sure! 😃😃
Ya, for me it’s LiFePo4 and the jump starter they did it. And the 1 hr charge time…. Well, I guess it’s a lot of things. 🤣👊🏼😃🙌🏼👏🏼
Oh my god that intro is insane!! Love it!
Hahahahah - thanks buddy! I’m always willing to make fun of myself! 🤣😃👊🏼🙌🏼👏🏼
I have had the vtoman 1000jump for 1 year. So far it blows everything else out of the water. The one downside is the slower charge time but when compared to similar sized units it is true to the kWh as advertised while all my other friends were much shorter than their advertised kWh.
Right on. Ya, the FlashSpeed 1500 charges SO quick! It’s amazing. I really love it so far. 😃👊🏼🙌🏼 Thanks for watching and for the comment! 😃😃👏🏼👏🏼
Best intro in a long time. Haha. Good review, Greg!
Hahahaha! Glad you liked it! 😃👊🏼🤣 we gotta make fun of ourselves from time to time! I had fun making that one. Thanks for watching buddy! Really appreciate it! 👏🏼🙌🏼👊🏼
Go ahead and take my 'like' just for the intro! HAHA!
Hahahahahah! Yessss! I had a little fun with that. 🤣🤣
Definitely some cool specs and features that one ups the competition.
Ya, for sure! I was mainly blown away by this being a LiFePo4 and having the car jump start port! 😳😳 Thanks for watching and for the comment! 👊🏼😃🙌🏼👏🏼
@@TrailNewbie the jump start port is money. I still think I like the EcoFlow port design the best. Having the ports on the short side makes it way easier to use inside the vehicle. That cable storage cubby is awesome!
Ya, it’s funny - that little storage cubby was pure 🔥 in my view. I’m always hunting for cables!! 😭 Not anymore! 👊🏼
Wow what a nice power station. That could come in handy even in my travel trailer instead of a generator. Would be nice to take in my Jeep when gold prospecting also.
Right on! Yep, it is definitely a great option to be able to switch easily between vehicles. 😃😃
Another GREAT video! Thank you - very informative 👍
I’m really glad you enjoyed the video, and also perhaps found some details about power stations that will help you decide if/when the time comes to purchase a new or replacement one! Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
I'm diggin that dedicated battery for your fridge. A fridge is on my shortlist. Mack in May, 23 I obtained a Bluette brand 600 watt power station with a sizable solar panel. It was approximately 700 bucks for the package. It came in handy for keeping our Kindles, phones, and flashlights charges during our three weeks camping in the PNW. I'm considering a larger unit for my home. The solar panels were good but needed direct sun to charge at its max capacity. It also can be plugged in to 120 AC.
Ya, a Bluetti 600 is solid for that type of around camp items - and with a solar panel, that’s a decent deal. You could use the Bluetti as your dedicated fridge battery and get something in the 1000 to 1500 range so you can run a ton of other items 🙌🏼 I love this VTOMAN because it has the car jump starter option. If you’re looking for a fridge that’s a solid price point, but still quality - check out the video I did on my ICECO JP50. It’s a really good option and 12% off with my promo code! 😃😃 thanks for watching and for the comment!
@@TrailNewbie I see one in my near future.
Best intro!! I love it!!
Ha ha! Yes, it was fun to make. Got to be able to make fun of myself from time to time! 🤣🤣🙌🏼 thanks for watching and for the comment! 👊🏼😃
Super informative, thanks Greg! I notice that the price point is with their current ongoing sales but I’m sure those prices won’t last forever!
Ya, great point! I think with the promo code it’s like $749! They’ve held this price for a while - but you’re right, it definitely could go back up in the future. 😃👊🏼🙌🏼👏🏼 Thanks for the comment and for watching Scott! 💯
They have this sale or better at least 6x a year.
@@kjm8135 that’s good to know,
I think I’ll wait for one of the “or better deals” then!
Thanks. 😊
My pleasure. Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃
Best intro 😂
Hahahahahah! Thanks! I really appreciate it! Gotta make fun of myself from time to time. 🤣🤣 Thank you for watching and for the comment! 😃👊🏼🙌🏼👏🏼
Can you do a 1-2 month review after use?
I’ve ran a couple brands at 500w for camping, outside daily use, and convenience around the house use.
Just the other night, my GZ went from 100% to 0 in a couple hours with my daughter’s sleep over.
It was used to air up a twin mattress, charge 2 mobile phones and a tablet. She has done this exact same thing before and no issues.
I had to give them my second 500w for the rest of the night.
I’d like to hear about performance after various uses over time.
Great video, again 👍🏼
Great idea! I probably won’t do a full video on it but, I can tell you that I’ve had it since roughly, October? And it has really been solid for me. Holds charge well, recharges extremely fast, all good so far! Ive had it run some high wattage items for hours and hours, Starlink in the snow for half a day, and it does really well! So far so good! 😊 Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
@@TrailNewbie oh! Thats good to know. Since October is more than enough to know.
I’ll have to check it out for some bigger trips planned for summer.
@@NVLunarTaco 👍👍
Excellent video. Can this unit be charged by your vehicle when driving? Sorry if you mentioned if it does or doesn’t and wasn’t paying attention. I was so impressed I was probably looking it up on line.
No problem! Happy to answer the question for you! 😃 Yes, it charges off of a 12v (cigarette) plug. I think it only charges around 100w which is sort of slow, but if you’re on a trip with some drive time - it’s perfect!! 👍🏼 Thank you for watching and for your comment! 🙏🏼 I really appreciate it! 😀
Great video. Been looking at the vtoman power station for a while. Im in the UK. Do you know what the customer service is like, I've seen mixed views. What is the warranty.
Hmm, the warranty, I'm not sure let me look! Here is a link where it says the Flashspeed 1500 comes with a 5 year warrantyvtoman.com/pages/warranty-extension
I hope that is helpful! Regarding customer service, I have not had to engage with customer service as my unit has been error free since I got it! Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
Morgan Freeman? LOL great video Greg!
Ahhahahah, no, just my natural voice around 6:00 AM 🤣🤣 JK. Thanks buddy! We gotta catch up sometime soon!
13:29 omg 3100! I’m sold
Ya buddy! It’s the best, that LiFePO4 technology is the safest and the most long lasting. WIN WIN! Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it!
Great info thanks Greg
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and for the comment! 😀😀🙌🏼🙌🏼
love the video!!!
Thanks BOSSLEVEL!! 👊🏼🙌🏼👏🏼😃
I run a Jackery 1000Pro
I was going through the speech hearing all the specs, fast charge times, thinking discharge rate must suck, what happens when it’s freezing out,it shuts down or gets hot the cells swell the unit blows up and all your laundry is 100’ feet up in a pine tree while you stagger away burnt to a crisp like Wile E Coyote because this is a cheapo Lithium cell, about ready to debunk this whole thing and justify my purchase, then POW …… LifePo4 🤯
Ya, I really am blown away by it. The LiFePo4 was what really got my attention initially. That’s one of the original reasons I started with Anker. The overall safety, life cycles, etc. Thanks for the comment - you had me LOLing the whole way. Really appreciate you watching! 👏🏼🙌🏼😃👊🏼
You missed that Vitoman Also can accept a extra battery
Great point! I didn’t have that extra battery at the time, and also VTOMAN was having a glitch with it - so I didn’t showcase it. They’ve since resolved the issue and it’s a great option for sure! Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃
Hahahahaha that voiceover!!
Hahahahha, I couldn’t resist mixing it up a bit and making fun of myself a bit. 🤣👊🏼👏🏼🙌🏼😃
Nice Vid! (I own it, and Love it)
Right on! Thanks! And, I can confirm that the vehicle jump start function works! I killed my battery last weekend on accident and the VTOMAN flashspeed 1500 with the cables jumped it right up! I was SO relieved! Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
I have a Red arc 1000 watt inverter to charge while driving and a gas gen when stationary.
Right on! You’ve got it dialed in!! That is next level power supply! Cheers! 😊
Wish when it was charging of the wall there was a switch to charge at medium speed instead of full 1500watts so fans wouldn't be on at full blast, kind of noisy.
Ya, I agree, but at the same time, I’m also glad they have the fan pump so hard in order to be able to fast charge if needed! 👏🏼👊🏼🙌🏼😃
I use Ecoflo Delta Max with extra battery.
Ya, I hear Ecoflow is a really good option! For sure! 👊🏼
Do you not use vents in the rear doors to combat condensation?
Yes, during the summer I do. I use the DeepSleep window vents. They work great! They are like a cloth screen that pulls over the windows of the Jeep. 😀
Did you actually spend $799 on this? Or did they send you this for free as a promotional review??? I personally purchased 2 of these and two extra batteries after watching a review after spending just over $4000 came to find out that they didn't work. I asked the company and Amazon to review this product. At first they didn't want to return my money and they didn't want to give me return labels for defective product. This company is shady. After three weeks they admitted that their product is defective and they would return my money. I actually had to get PayPal involved before they were even interested in returning my money. They sent me return labels after three weeks of me showing videos that it didn't work seamlessly. I would highly suggest nobody purchasing this product unless you get it for free. If you get it for free and then you do review, are you gonna do another review in six months when it doesn't work when you got it for free??
Great question! VTOMAN sent this unit to me and asked me to do a review on it. So far, my experience has been the exact opposite of what you have experienced. Sorry to hear this brand has let you down - I’m hoping it was just a bad battery?!?! Sounds like a true nightmare. This battery is a permanent item in my rig setup for all my trips now. I will keep an eye on this for sure and if it dies on me - I will certainly call that out! I’ve heard a lot of good stories about VTOMAN, sucks to hear what a crappy situation you went through! Thank you for watching though - I appreciate your comment and candor! 😊
I ordered one as well. I didn't know about the extra battery problem until it was too late to cancel. I have been messaging back and forth with them and they assure me there will be a fix for the issue.....I hope so.
@@chrisk9351is there a known problem with the expansion battery?
@@TrailNewbie Yes, there is an issue with the expansion battery and the FS 1500 whereas the expansion battery once it's depleted will not auto switch over to the main unit and the unit just shuts down. You have to manually go and turn it back on, I have been emailing back and forth with their support because I have an FS 1500 on the way and I was concerned about that once I started seeing the reviews and discussions on their facebook group, they assured me that they are taking steps necessary to resolve the problem and hope to have a fix out be a software update
@@chrisk9351 oh wow, very interesting. Ya, I don’t have the expansion battery, but I have wanted one. I’ll keep an eye on this.
Not sure how you can do a fair assessment of portable power without bringing Bluetti and Ecoflow into the conversation. They are the industry standards for portable power.
Ya, great point! I don’t have any experience with those, but I did with Jackery and Anker. Threw Goal Zero in there because … well … it’s the one that has us all scratching our heads wondering who buys Goal Zero!?! Ha! But you’re absolutely correct - perhaps I’ll do one at the 1 year point comparing those side-by-side as well. Great feedback. 👊🏼😃 thank you for the comment and for watching! 😃
@@TrailNewbie thanks for the reply. Keep up the great work.
Nice review, nice power station, but I literally ordered a little larger Dabbsson DBS2300 (another tongue twister name) a few hours before watching this VTOMAN review! Would I now change my order to this one? No, because I want to use my 1800w induction cooktop out on the trail, and the Dabbsson is just a little larger at around 17x10x12 and 55lbs. Plus it is advertised at 4000-4500 cycles to 80% and will also recharge quickly for it's size. With phone app you can even vary recharge speed to help save battery life. The closeout model is just over $1000 and not much different than the newer Plus model which is around $1300. ruclips.net/video/Lm5cD6Ixuk4/видео.html
Oh man, that sounds like a legit setup! I’ll check it out for sure!! 🙌🏼👊🏼😃 Thanks for watching and for the info! I really appreciate it. 👏🏼
Useless intro. Didn't bother sitting through it.
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate any and all comments whether supportive or in your case, constructive. My videos are somewhat known for their useless intros. 😜 Sorry this didn’t resonate with you. 🙏🏼
Heh heh heh - you are not a regular fan, eh? Still, there's no need for such a harsh comment when a simple (i if any), "Could have done without the intro." would have sufficed. 😊
