OMG! Loved your style of reviewing. You weren't the know-it-all people just spouting a bunch of statistics. You gave lots of info in a Holy-Cow-it-works way. No mathematical formulas to understand appliance labels. Heck no, just plug it in and see if Chris' new toy can power it. Informative and entertaining. Gotta love the trip to mom's for washing clothes (and plugging into her house electric). Love your videos. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thanks, it was actually Beccas idea to go a bit crazy with it, these things can be a bit confusing so its nice to put a fun spin on it, fingers crossed mum didnt mind 😂 thanks so much for your support ❤️
Great review. Looks like a good bit of kit. Take care. Nick
Loved the review Guys. You have been totally upfront about the promotion ever since they approached you, and you delivered a really fun review. If only more RUclipsrs were like you two. Good job!
Thanks for watching, iv always wanted one so jumper on the idea of reviewing one, glad it came across fun that was all Beccas idea 😂
Fun and interesting. I have thought about buying one just to have in case of the power grid going off for awhile. Thanks for sharing. Was nice of the company to reach out to you. Hope you get to keep it. Best wishes, Deb
Iv always wanted to try one out so what a great thing to be asked to review. Great as a back up device in a boat, probably ly great for a camping weekend too thanks for watching Deb 😀
Hi Guys, WoW Fantastic piece of kit.
No more flat batteries, and no more flat anything!
What a great amendment to your home.
Enjoy and take care. x
it will come in very useful for us and hopefully shows other boaters or campers how much you can from this thing, thanks for watching John
The best review I’ve seen on any of the narrowboat videos!!!
But most of all, I really liked your intro.
So kind of you Shoan, thank you ❤️
Good vlog guys and very informative lots of people use these anyway what a great collaboration see you both on the next one 😀
Thanks Stewart 😊
Congrats guys! 👏🏻
Cheers Guys ❤️❤️
Great review, good job of testing 👍
thanks Gregg
Yes just what I needed a nice video of the best channel on RUclips 🎉❤
Thanks for watching, a slightly different one this week, thanks for the love ❤️
Loved it! The best review of a solar power bank I have seen, as you truly presented it your way….which is the best. I am so glad the company chose you, but am concerned that the Titan will fall from being #1 😂
Have fun with it…and hopefully they will send you the 400 watt panel for doing such a great job, the Crobot way. 😊🤗 Kathy
Thanks for your lovely comment, poor Titan has been left out in the cold again 😒 they have actually said they would let us try the 400 ones, supposedly that can charge the unit in 3 to 4 hours...so that would be very handy , thanks for watching 😊
Excellent bit of kit ideal for us boaters 😊 😊
Thanks Tina, it should prove very handy 😀
Grand you got the power pack it will be very useful for you both tc luv u both the oldies very well reviewed 🤗🤗
thanks, it was nice to to a review of a Narrowboat toy for a change
What a great bit of kit 👌
Thanks Lisa,proper chuffed to review it 😀
I ve got it, love it! Just a bit heavy but hey good for your muscles 💪
great for building those muscles 😂😂
I did like your review and I'm glad it passed the Titan test, that will keep Chris happy 😂
Thanks Gary, the Titan test is the most important obviously 😂👍😀
That looked pretty good to me guys and gals very good item
cheers buddy 👍😀
One thing to say..." ELECTRIFYING ", Bet you're well buzzing. Great watch
BUZZINGGGGG 😂😂
Very nice product would love one
Cheers buddy good bit of kit, great show at Santa pod this year well done on winning both trophies, Kevs got his hands tied 😂
Nice powerbank there, remember at 22kgs with a rope around the handles it could also be used as an emergency anchor. But put the light on first so you can see where you dropped it. 🙂
haha brilliant 😂
Most expensive anchor by weight EVER 🙂
@@LiveBeatsDrumBass-Techno-House Would make a very unusual review, one they would not expect. Not sure how valid the warrantee would be after though. 🙂
That was interesting, I’ve seen these, or similar and wondered just how they work, four video showed it brilliantly. Their expensive but quiet, we’ve got a genni and it’s good but hell it’s noisy. Great, interesting video. Stay safe guys, good to see you. Only a week to settlement on the new house. 💕
Thanks for watching Pauline, I want a genie ..Becca tells me they can be very noisy and break alot, but very handy as a back up , oh woaw you must be so excited , not to far off then at all for you, have a lovely week 😀
@@TheNomadicCrobot. Chris they are noisy but we’ve had no trouble with ours, it’s a Honda so a reasonably good make, but yeah it would be thoughtless to run it at night when there was others around you.
good vid on channelthat will good thing on the boat thanks lee
thanks Lee
Two posts this week great
a slightly different one this time, but would be nice to do some more reviews of boat related items , thanks for watching
Cool review guys...
I run a home solar comapany in Spain and I was really intersested in seeing this video.
I have seen these systems and always wondered how good they were.
They seem to be great when used for what they are intended for... LED Lights, laptop/phone charging, LED TV usage.
They're pretty awesome for that, but not for high power usage like the heater or power tools, you'll just end up killing the lithithum battery... having said that I'm still impressed that they could power the heater/power tools even for just a short time.... but please remember that is not what they are meant for..... :-)
thanks for watching, the whole solar thing still baffles me so well done on you. I was surprised the large things actually worked through it, it can even power a small microwave, will come in very handy especially as back up when were not moving as much
The BEST Review of ANYTHING EVER IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. 😂 👏🏻👏🏻
Next time time Bex makes you a Brew Chris - You should review it and mark it out of 10 😂😂
haha thank you for the huge compliment , and stay tunes for my 20 minute in depth review of tea making 😂😂
@@TheNomadicCrobot hahahaha…. Will do. Cheers Guys. Have a Fab Weekend 👍🏻
This was interesting, I never really understood how they work, if they would only operate 12V appliances or could they do regular household appliances too; the time it would take to power them up etc. Connecting solar panels has been explained to me a number of times - way over my head, but this was all so simple. As a technophobe, Portable power stations were always scary until you both demonstrated how easy they were to put together, power up and use. Thank you for the laughs along the way too 🙂 Safe back to the marina, avoid cruisers and bridges !
These devices are designed for the less technologically minded users!
Instead of having several separate components like you have on a boat or in a van (batteries, solar charger, mainline charger and inverter) and worrying about how to connect it all together, you have it all packed into a single portable box with clearly marked input and output sockets :)
The downside is that you can't easily exten the capacity of the built in battery, but it's a good trade for the ease of use.
yes it still boggles my mind, this box does both actually so you can power house hold appliances of it to and at the same time which is pretty cool, thanks for your comment ...fingers crossed there not to many bridges 😂
@@YaaLFH I'm thinking 2 uses, I do have mains power in the shed but my tools could do with a bit more than they get, and I'm thinking of one of those compost loos that reduce waste using electricity like "simploo" I think they are called. I live in an ancient cottage.
Great. An equipment review that was about the practicality of the device without too much of the science. However Chris, why no demo of the juggleability(?) of the unit?🤔😄. Stay safe.
haha could you imagine...the might juggle test 😂😂
A great bit of kit for the Crobot. How would the unit go running the boat for a whole day, This would provide a better scope to it's capabilities showing it as a asset for the boating life.
thats a great idea, I suppose most narrowboaters will already have a set up, but this would be a great back up device, it would be nice to plug the whole boat into it to see how long it would go for though im not sure how you would do that, thanks for your comment 👍😊
I thought that powerbank was impressive, especially as you could charge it for free during the longer days. I have a friend who lives in California and has solar roof tiles in his house and is offgrid for electricity. The battery banks were expensive initially tho. Good varied test guys 👍🏼
exactly, its a good bit of kit, I wonder how the 400w ones would fair. thanks for enjoying a different type of video from us
@@TheNomadicCrobot just been on their website, it is the "big daddy" of the range, quick charging and impressive performance. It's trolley mounted, so that gives an idea of how beefy it is. Wished I'd had something like this years ago when I was on the road as the generator was ok, but very noisy.
Sounds great guys but, please check with your insurance for cover.
I was looking but after watching the run away videos I went with lead
Have plenty of alarms keep it as far away from were u sleep as possible
yes your probably right, supposedly these batteries dont really catch fire, but I imagine if it did it would be a problem
Finally!
You got some NEW stuff!
On the other hand you can recycle it 3K times.
At what point is it then recycled?
"I can't stop loving ..." (Do you know that ancient hit?)
haha thanks Rolf, Bex will be in her element with e recycling part of it but good point??? at what point does it become recycled??
Hi Becca, Chris, Love your review of the Aferiy 2400 Powerbank. I'm into Power banks as they are so useful. Sorry, my Power banks are from a different maker, but I can fully see/understand what you have been doing on your tests. It (Aferiy) sounds/looks really good to me, and it performed really well. Hope your allowed to keep the Aferiy as "Powerbanks" Rule. Great Video, and I loved the editing as always. Take Care. Spoolbox
this would be very handy on the toe path with use on the higher watt power tools, it seamed to accept the, very well, we enjoyed making this one and giving it our spin...hopefully people dont think were to mad 😂😂 take care spool box have a great week and thank you
how much and where will i get in pretoria
It would be nice to have a cost comparison for what it would cost to put some LiFePO4 batteries, a quality inverter and solar panels on the roof in your boat.
That would have made a great video 👍
Just curious. Very expensive I am sure, but that would be awesome for house batteries The AFERIY is good for emergency backup though. I am happy you did that review in a separate video so you don't turn your "regular" videos into infomercials.
The important issue on a boat or in a campervan, is whether it still functions while it is charging (e.g connected to the roof solar panels etc). Inexplicably many power stations stop working and providing power when charging. I wonder if the Aferiy has the same problem - a very big drawback for many users and the only way around it is to have two units and keep unplugging them from the solar panels. I know the Anker Solix f2000 for example does carry on working while charging.
This is so true actually. I forget now if we tested this theory but will definitely give it a go to find out and let you know 😊
Nice to see someone who isn’t pushing EcoFlow for a change! Will you review other brands if they approach? So many people stick to just one which makes their reviews extremely biased.
to be honest we would try anything that we would have a real purpose for on the boat, and we try to be honest too...not just get people to buy it, alot of people that live on narrowboats would probably appreciate seeing how these sort of things work on there boats, thanks for watching :)
@@TheNomadicCrobot that’s really good to hear :-) I have a much smaller one from another brand and it’s really handy in my shed.
I wonder how it would cope with a kettle some are 3kw I think you said it will cope with a peak of 4800kw??
@@helicopter12345678 Usually the peaks on these products are for a few seconds at most so a 3kw kettle on this model id wager not. But a 2kw one should be ok
@@helicopter12345678 Yes it should easily cope with a kettle.
Are you able to charge the output & the input also,
Cheers Nick should prove very handy
Buy a boat they said, cruise canals they said, it'll be FUN they said...
well at least we got an awesome power bank out of it
Can you charge & receive solar power Also.
yes you certainly can 😀
The storidge box is foe the spiders
haha.... it won't be long will they start living this contraption 😂
The knife juggling scene was way too short.....do you have a directors cut ? 😱 😂🤣
No ducks were harmed i hope ? 🦆🦆
haha brilliant,i had to act a bit more professional in this one.. hence on small juggle 😂😂
Xmas came early this year - NIce to have a power supply for 2026 when you travel / explore -
it won't be far off then 😂😂
can this use ac and dc at the same time?
Im pretty sure , but id have to check again
You need yo be Sponsored by Armco, just a thought
haha brilliant
Did you say it can peak at 4800kw? And would it run a kettle 🤔
we dont have a kettle to test actually, but that would be a good test, yes 4800 kw peak
@@TheNomadicCrobotthanks it is one of the best cost per kilowatt power bank ..sounds good to me thanks for the great vid😊
Hi guys
Hi Graham 😀👍
Let's be HONEST HERE!! .... If It'll SURVIVE a Good Chrissin' .... It'll Survive ANYTHING!! 😂🤣😂
exactly...haha...wait till it gets the juggle 😂😂
Do you think it would power a washing machine on a cold wash
The narrow boat that James built did that test with a washing machine and it took less power then you think so I am sure it would 👍
woaw now there's an idea
ill have to take a look 😀 sounds very interesting
Oi !!!! That was interesting and disappointing at the same time ! X
Sorry Mandy xx
@@TheNomadicCrobot oh no don’t be ! I just expected you two delightful people doing you boaty stuff !! Was still interesting never the less !! I love you two pottie botties xxx
Amazon says "currently unavailable" 😞
it should be available now, thanks for watching
Portable Solar Power Station QUESTION:
In a completely off grid scenario,
(ie. only Solar Panels to recharge),
Can this (or any other),
portable solar power station,
be programmed to automatically
turn ON the AC Outlet circuit,
once the battery is sufficiently charged,
WITHOUT human intervention, ???
So that it can automatically provide
power to any AC connected items,
without having to go to the remote location.
For Example:
If there is a shed located
in the middle of a corn field,
where grid power does not exist,
a portable solar power station,
could provide power
to a camera NVR system,
for security.
If the battery ever run out of energy,
the next day after the solar panels
recharge the batteries to a sufficient level,
I would like the AC Outlets,
to automatically turn on,
allowing the NVR to boot, and begin recording, without any intervention by me.
Who makes a unit that offers this functionality?
What Brand, and Model?
What is a search term that can be used in google to search for this capability?
thx
Let’s practice the “th” blend, okay? 😊
😂😂
Has it got an adapter for Chris 😂
😂😂
If you plugged the kettle lead in and plugged it into the inverter would it charge itself? 😂😂
Haha!! We did actually try this..... 😂
@@TheNomadicCrobot what was the outcome?
Your mum will be pleased. Look at the electricity draw on that. Ok if you charge on someone else's electric bill 👍🤣😂🤣😂
maybe ill take it weatherspoons ?
@@TheNomadicCrobot you've been watching other naughty channels!!!! I suppose you could also take your mum that's before she gets her electric bill 🤣😂🤣😂👍
That was no Mickey mouse review of your new power bank.
Thought you would have have got the mighty Titan out but you went for your Meeter saw instead.
yeah we missed the chance to test the Titan 😂😂, we were just running out of time, thanks for watching
thats the 1200 watt one not the 2400w
This is the 2400w, though the 1200w looks identical
Free electric from mom and dad , get yourselves an aobosi induction hob and save the gas I use it all the time you could run it from the power bank.
now there's an idea never really seen these things but ill take a look into them thank you
Did you look how fast your parents meter was spinning mmmm
dont tell them 😂
it had to be Chinese lol, but they are useful to have
glad we got the chance to review it 😀
Keep going to your mums charge it up, free electricity much better than solar. 😂😂😂😂
Thats not a bad shout....I could have dinner too while im there 😂
Well deck diaries got one for review a few days ago 🙂
yes I saw they done one 😀
Hi guys just tried the code don’t work also would’ve like to see it running a fridge
the discount code should be up for use on there website if you follow the link, sorry we couldn't plug our fridge in unfortunately its wired in, thanks for your comment
Not sure man, a small diesel generator gives instant power day and night 24/7.
Crude oil and biproducts we have in an abundance as is.
So nah, batteries may be good.
But fossil fuel is far more cooler and reliable:)
we do want a diesel generator, but iv been told by Becca that they come with there problems, all valid points
Sold your soul guys
Don't think so. I wouldn't know about new ideas or products if there weren't reviews. Hey, Chris and Becca didn't spout scientific mumbo jumbo. They just plugged things in and pushed buttons. No sales pitch. If I like and can use a reviewed product, I do my research.
iv always wanted one for the Narrowboat so jumped at the chance to review one, id actually like to review more Narrowboat items, it gives narrowboaters a chance to see what products are like before they buy something
Gets given 1k worth of power bank and solar panel… Gives a positive review… Who’d have guessed… Oh and then basically ‘covertly’ asks for the 400watt panel 😉… Any review where a product is gifted is basically an advert…
A bit cynical? Not everyone is 'on the make'......fortunately.
Peace ✌️
Nice review, Chris and Becks. Thanks. 😊
Don't think I heard them say anything that isn't true. I have no problem watching reviews of gifted products. Most videos show how a product is used which is very helpful. Then, it's up to me to decide if it suits my needs. Then, my research begins. Without reviews, I wouldn't even know products are available.
its just a small review of how a narrowboat product works, we always try when offered to review items that would be useful to fellow narrow boaters as I would like to see how that worked too on a boat....saying that if I was offered a Ferrari who knows what would happen
thank you ❤️
thanks for this ❤️👍
Can you review our new portable narrow boat system?
send it over 😂
Noooooooooo 😢I want one but spent me money on bow cover instead 😂
so excited to get the chance to review this one😊
