Great detail and compressed information, thank you. However, I am wondering if there is a particular reason you do not include the RENOGY Brand in your assessments, other than you just can't review every brand available? I just purchased 3 of their 80w foldable panels and they work great, I also bought the Phoenix 500 lithium ion power box and am pleased also. Granted I've not even had them a full week. It took me ages, literally a couple years to jump in to this market after a so-so experience with the first little one I bought, a GoLabs 300 in 2019. The RENOGY were all on sale and that was my push. Plus, they been in business for a decade or so, and that sat well with me. Anyway would love to hear your thoughts on this brand, if any. Thank You, Kris, for all you do, as always, MUCH appreciated! Cheers
This video is a prime example why these companies send you so many goods to review AND your subscription numbers have grown as fast as they have ….. thorough and complete information presented in such a way that we understand. Kris, thanks for all you do for us!!!
Aaaand he gives out a pair of gloves $10-40 each week. He has a sweet collection of stuff he has gotten from sponsors. A million subscribers earns you lots of incentive to review anything.
_"This video is a prime example why these companies send you so many goods to review"_ Cuz getting free stuff doesn't create any incentive to give good reviews to keep the gravy train rolling🙄
Dude… I’ve been watching solar and battery videos everyday for the past 2 months and your little explanation of watt hours just made everything click!! Finally thanks
Although an obviously HUGE amount of work went into this - we really do appreciate the time and work. In the past I've been so overwhelmed trying to learn about solar energy I haven't actually moved to buy anything. This is an enormous help, thank you!
You are smart to do your research. My Dad jumped in too quickly and bought a terrible, outdated unit because he thought it was made in the USA and he saw a commercial for it.
I agree. One thing I found recently is Walmart is offering the Buetti AC200P for $1119 now - about $180 less than Bluetti. And Bluetti fulfills the order.
I have a consistent brain block when it comes to understanding all this, but I always turn to you to help me get it into my brain. As always, I am gobsmacked by the bizarre amount of research and foot work you do on these videos. Thank you.
Kris, this video is the GOLD STANDARD for solar generator reviews: very well articulated, sharp, short, straight to the point, no bullshit, no repeating same informations over and over, thorough testing sheets, highly competent. I'm freaking loving your excellent work!
For someone that needs a book, "Solar Power for Dummies", your reviews are educational and contain the information I need to understand which unit will best serve my family. Thanks, so much!
I’ve watched all your solar generator videos and taken a lot of info in about them. I will mention even with battery expansion you are still only limited to what the unit can support no matter the amount of storage. I decided to get a second unit rather then the expansion battery since it doubled amount of devices, and the amount of charging which reduces the overall draw off one unit. Pecron stood out to me by price point, storage, and charging. 1300 watts charging in less then 2 hours at peak. I will add the panels come with 16 foot cords so your generator can be safely inside the house. Again thank you for all that you do. Looking forward to your next video.
I have a tremendous amount of Anker products in my home, between portable power bricks, to soundcore earbuds, to USB adaptors and so on. I'll say both their quality and customer service has been second to none, so this review putting the 767 on top doesn't completely surprised me as I've been eyeballing that unit since it was released and watching many reviews. I'll say I'm glad my own research was confirmed through this review as I respect your channel and content immensely. You have the rare talent of simplifying technical information into a format that's consumable for everybody. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts on Anker products! It's always great to hear positive feedback about a brand's quality and customer service. I completely understand the importance of reliable and durable gear, especially for outdoor enthusiasts like us.Speaking of quality, have you checked out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It seems like a fantastic option for outdoor activities and home backup power. With its massive capacity, fast recharging, and waterproof technology, it could be a valuable addition to your collection of outdoor gear. Keep up the great work on your research and happy camping!
Thank you for re-uploading this. I was beginning to think it was just me having the sound problems since nobody else had said anything when I commented. :) I didn't want to miss any of the video! So much good information and I'm glad you include warranty/customer service and cost rather than only looking at technical specs.
I’m pretty sure you are the best communicator of technical information that I’ve ever heard. In 1993 I made a 1500 W solar generator that used a high capacity lead acid battery. The cost me $500 (odyssey battery) and I showcased it on national television in Canada live for 15 minutes. It’s amazing how the world has evolved.
Real good video, man. I'm at that point in my prepping that I need to dig into the power generator and solar panels. Really appreciate the dedication and hard work you put in on this. Helps so many of us!
You always do great reviews. I got my Bluetti AC200Max about 1 1/2 years ago. It's saved me through 2 power outages already powering my 7 cu ft freezer and 18 cu ft fridge overnight. I have about 800 W of solar panels. I was on the list for an Inergy 1500 expandable charger, but there was a substantial shipping delay the ship date, it was only 1500 W and was Lithium Ion, not LiFePo4 so I went with the Bluetti kick starter. I'm sure there's newer and better units today, but I got what I need. Thanks again for all your Videos!
@@dreyes8948 I think the Bluetti AC200 MAX was $ 1699 when I bought it. I also bought 4 Ecoworthy 195 W solar panels for $ 180 each. One of the panels was destroyed by FedEx so I returned it.
I just realized I robbed myself by not subscribing the first time I watched your video. Here I am again, and I just saw the wealth of information you have collected and are sharing. Your video is like a dozen reviews rolled into one, and now I'm robbing you. I have subscribed, liked, commented, and downloaded the spreadsheet!
Im a huge PECRON fan. I have 2 of their products and cant be more pleased with them. And their customer service is great. If you register their products you also get a 2nd year warranty.
Hi Kris, this video came at the perfect time. I need desperately a generator. Turns out, living in a cabin in the woods is not as sexy as it sounds lol lots of work and having a generator it’s a must and you did a great job with this video. FP
The way you describe electric devices and circuits is second to none. Its simple, easier to understand than many others who attempt to describe electricity, and you mention the key points needed to understand this topic more thoroughly. Very thankful for your content. Thank you!
Thanks for all you do to keep US informed. I purchased a couple of different products a few years ago now there are so many more to choose from and so much more to know to make better choices. At 75 still learning Thanks for your time and efforts to help us out appreciated
I recently bought the Anker 767 and was greatly impressed with it. We also have the Ecoflow River 2 Max which is my go-to device for a very compact and light unit.
Excellent review and comparison. Even though I have the Delta Max 2000, the Pecron still stands out for simplicity and price! Thanks for your hard work sir.
I now have a Delta Pro with 2 additional backup batteries. I had an Ecoflow transfer switch installed with six 120 volt circuits available. That provides me with about 13 kwh of power (I believe). Your energy needs may be very different than mine. I am particularly concerned with hurricane blackouts, since I live in Florida. I have 580 watts of portable solar panels, which is skimpy. But it fits my needs. Great products!
I deeply agree with you about ANKER they are exceptional! Considering the tight Market between Bluetti and Zachary now that they're in the running. Sincerely appreciate your reviews and always look forward to your opinion on various equipment. I would love to have the Anker, but at this point it's a little pricey, but an excellent alternative for my needs as a senior, newly-retired and looking for solar options to run my used RV.
I have been always on a tight budget but I saved and bought a ECOFLOW RIVER and then later added the second battery making it a MAX and I love it. Despite not using it for camping nearly as much as I wanted too it helped when my power went out in town. :)
I’m so thankful for finding your channel, I’m 64 and don’t know a thing about any of this, hope to get one for my tiny home to keep my freezer going , thank you for your time, God Bless
Started with the EcoFlow River Max in spring of 2021. Loved it for running the Iceco fridge (VL60S) and charging small devices (phone, tablet, smartwatch). Only issue was putting out the solar panel every other day and running the risk of not having power (and ruined food) if it was cloudy for more than a day. Upgraded to the Delta Max in December 2022, just before the Delta 2 hit the market. It runs my fridge and allows me to take my Keurig with me as well. Delta Max runs the fridge and coffee machine, River Max for charging the phone, tablet, AirPods and smartwatch. I've been camping with these two power stations for 5 days and still have 30-40% left on both upon returning home, without having to put out the solar panels even once. It has proven to be the perfect combo for my off grid camping needs.
Thank you for providing all of these info and providing the summary spreadsheet without forcing your audience sign up for anything before allowing download. This is a truly genuine video content with loads of information.
Wow, great work. Thanks for taking time to to break this down. What a difference a couple years make to this market. It really makes me want to hold off until next year but that’s not a risk I want to take. A good system now is better than the great system I don’t have yet.
Thanks for all you do. Tell everyone to get extra garden seeds. Sometimes you have to replant. We just got 3-4 inches of hail with 1 inch rain. Re-plant
I was interested in seeing what you said about the Point Zero Titan. I have had this unit for 2 years and just got my 5th battery for it. What I love about it is that it is so simple to use, especially in an emergency situation. I, personally, don't want all the bells and whistles. It is heavy, but it is easy taken apart for transporting. We use it on our RV when boon docking. We went on a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains last week for 7 days and 6 nights. We have 200Ah of lithium batteries on our RV. We plugged the RV into the Titan with 4 batteries (turning off the house converter). At the end of the week, we had 28% of the house batteries left and 48% of Titan left. Next time, I will only take 3 Titan batteries. Thanks for your review of all these machines.
You would want the flex solar panels so you would not need to take that many batteries with you., or instal 5-7 rigid panels., for air conditioning it would be useful to have that many batteries.
This is what I been looking for. Someone that can explain with practical ways I can calculate "MY" needs! Took only six mins in for a lightbulb to ping in my head. THANKS!
If I need information on prepping, this is one of my top choices for equipment recommendations. Chris, your thorough reviews are exceptional. The main reason I love your opinions is that you don't sell products through your site. Recommendations, yes. But when a site sells supplies or equipment, they have a built-in bias towards those products, you don't, and I respect you immensely for that. Could I suggest a future video addressing how you'd deal with a power grid or internet going down for an extended time and if any generator would work whet SHTF?😊
This is just insane video. I can't even imagine how much work you put in to do this. With that said I just want to say thank you. For all the vids I have watched on these things yours is by far and away much better and the information included was well insane! Just when I thought I had everything figured out here comes your video. I'm and I assume most that watched this all the way through are more of the technical types. Thank you for all the information and all your hard work putting this together.
Your spreadsheet is AMAZING! I did just verify that both the CPAP (ResMed) machines in this household are 90 watt, according to the inverter power source cord. If your spreadsheet were editable, it would be of even greater use to those of us DIYers out here! Thank you!
I’ve purchased the new battery., the 90 amp hr one in addition to the regular 70 amp battery and will start with 2000 watts from solar, it’s important to note that you will most likely get 80% efficiency from those panels so you can use a volt meter and add more that 2k worth of panels., more like another 4, one one each end of the two 1k kits each having 5 panels., so 7 panels each instead of 5, and it will work better., also I hope to not go past 50% of the batteries to keep them from being overworked.
I backed EcoFlow during their very first kickstarter around 2019. It was the Delta 1400 and backers got a lifetime warranty. Had mine replaced after discovering that using it to power a 1000 watt PC while connected to a power outlet ended up degading the battery. I use it for everything else since and still love mine to this day.
@@everythingpony They actually advertised it as a tool that can work as a UPS during the Kickstarter. Also, how did you come across the $3000 figure? Not even the retail price is that much for the OD delta. I paid about $1300 CAD for it as an early bird offer.
I have a generator that runs off of propane and it runs my entire farm but after listening to you, it might be worth investing into a backup to my backup 😊
Great video. In the first 10 years or so that we were in our house, we would only lose power 2-3 times a year. And never for more that a couple hours. In the last 2 years I have lost track of the number of times we have lost power for more that 8 hours. The last 3 outages have been for 9, 27 and 15 hours. We recently invested in the Bluetti AC300 and although we haven't had to use it, we are glad we did. We just don't have the confidence in the grid that we used to.
@@GameTimeWhy I won't get into specific location online, but I live in a suburb of a major city. About 5 miles from the local power plant. I've been hearing that alot of the grid in my area is old and requires specialized parts and crews to repair, hence the longer repair times when something goes poof.
@@GameTimeWhy In my case, I live in a heavily populated area but my home is at the bitter end of the power lines outside the city limits. Any fault nearby causes me to lose power for minutes to hours.
Wow, best 36 minutes I have ever spent watching a review video! Thant you so much, I was torn because I had no idea what much of the stuff means. Thank you!
I'm new in this stuff. I'm not even close to know anything about electricity or electrician stuff... And I can say that the EcoFlow is the friendliest easiest device to start with. Specially with the solar panel. They just make it so easy and simple.
Chris thanks for a well thought out video. My personal favorite is the Bluetti ac 500 for many of the same reasons you like anchor. Alternate power resources are likely to become more of a necessity than a luxury in all of our futures.
This is the best review, transparent and with amazing excel. Can thank you more for sharing this amazing sheet with the world. It would have taken days if not weeks to develop this tool. Hats off 🎉 and thank you.
Wow, that was a lot of information. In 2022 I bought two of my 4 children the Pecron after your initial review. My son loves it and uses it daily to power the TV and the gaming station his kids use. He also asked for a second solar panel and as of now he couldn’t be happier. I also bought my youngest daughter the Jackery, it is nice and light and they do camp a lot living in the mountains of Colorado. The only thing that was disappointing was the charging cycles. It only has 500 before it decreases where as the Pecron has 3500. Lastly I bought my oldest daughter the Bluetti because we are sending my RV to her in Alaska and it has the 30 amp plug in. As of now it is still in the box so I can’t give a review. I do know it is heavy and I can hardly move it around. Her husband will have no problems with it. I also bought the 600 watt Bluetti to send them as well since they do go ice fishing and camping a lot in Alaska. The hard part with them living in Alaska is I couldn’t find anyone who would ship to them, that is why we are taking the RV up there to enjoy through the summer and get the Solar Generators to them. All in all, it has been your recommendations that have helped me order these generators. Now all I need to do is figure out the best one for me and my 87 year old mother. But your videos have helped me understand so much more about solar generators and caused me to decide that all 4 of my children need one. Thank You again for all your wonderful videos. Be Blessed.
Thanks for the very thorough review Chris and very timely, I was just about to place an order for the Jackery 200O Pro but I think I’m going to give the Anker some serious thought now and put the Jackery on hold. I have had nothing but good results with all the products I’ve purchased from Anker in the past and was pleased to find out about this unit, I’m based in the UK so just hoping it’s available here. Keep up the great work you do.
I purchased two Ecoflow Delta Pros from costco last month. I was using one as an EPS for my garage freezer. The second never worked as an EPS out of the box, it would pass through the wall AC power, but eventually the Delta Pro would gradually drain battery power and never top itself off. Tech support took 1-2 weeks of emailing back and forth (they are in China and only respond in the middle of the night here in the US). Ended up sending the faulty Delta Pro in for warranty replacement. All this time the first Delta Pro was working fine as an EPS, then just 3 days ago it stopped topping itself off and the battery started to slowly drain. I boxed it up and returned it to Costco. Waiting on the warranty replacement to arrive so I can return that to Costco as well. In the end I'm probably going with a Franklin Whole Home battery backup system (27 kwh, 2 battery system) for about $22k after tax credit. A little more expensive than a fully expanded Ecoflow system (2 Delta Pro, 4 extra batteries, 1 smart home panel, plus electrician install) but it will use my home solar system for charging.
I have been a part-time van dweller since 2018 and a self-described nerd. I have used many different solar generators in search of the "perfect" one. I use a large solar generator for my house battery and typically carry a smaller unit for portable use, like powering a TV outside the van. I purchased the crowd-sourced version of the Bluetti AC 200 (that version was 1700 watts), and I also have a smaller EB3A. Both are innovative and well-built but use significant power when idling with DC power on (AC inverter off). If you have the units plugged into permanent solar panels, such as my roof-mounted ones, this will automatically turn them on, so it is hard to turn everything off to conserve power. For instance, my AC200 can drop over 10% in a night if I don't completely shut it down. That is not typical of other solar generators that I have used. Otherwise, it is a good unit. Over a year ago, I switched to a Pecron E3000 unit (no longer available on Amazon), and I have to say that I'm super pleased with it. It manages power loss much better than the AC200 and has performed flawlessly since I have had it. It is basic, but I don't require more than that. I recommend the Pecron if you can still find it. It was a great value for its massive 3KW capacity.
Thanks Kris for all the great info on the spreadsheet. I downloaded it and can't wait to see which one will work best for me. Thanks for all your (and your teams) hard work in putting this together. Stay safe and take care.
You have gone over and above in the comparison video. I actually bought one of the first solar generators years ago, the original Inergy Kodiak. I still have it and keep it safely stored away protected from EMP for for emergency use. I also built my own 3000w unit, on a separate dedicated electrical circuit,with 6-2000w solar panels and 4- 100AH CHIN LiFePO4 batteries, wired for a 24v system, that will allow for refrigeration, lights, and a modest amount of entertainment and other possible needs. Keep up the good work, we can certainly use your guidance. Happy Prepping!
You can expand the Bluetti ac200P with a b200 or b300. They have videos to show how. Still I recommend the ac200Max for a few shekels more for some added benefit.
With all the different Solar Generators out there, your information and testing is truly appreciated. Like you, my choice is decided by my needs. Pecron offers a lot for a budget mind. But that Anker Powerhouse with the expanded battery looks really nice and what I should aim for. Thank you for your work and sharing.
Thank you for the effort to put this together. I was hoping that you would address the 12v charging capability of each unit, and whether you can use each unit while charging.
I have been pretty happy with my allpowers 2400. 2400watts, 3000 surge, 1500 ac charge, 600watts solar, 30 Amp rv plug, it's been running from wall running a cooler refrigerator for 8months, and has ups.
Very, very helpful, Kris!!! Love this channel! Thanks for all the hard work you put into it. It is eye-opening to hear all the news that the mainstream media leaves out… as well as new areas where I need to strengthen my prepping. Thanks again, Kris, for all the work you put in to this! 👍👍
Thank you for your kind words and support! I'm glad to hear that you found the video helpful. The Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series is definitely a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts like us. With its massive capacity, powerful output, and fast recharging capabilities, it's perfect for powering all our devices and appliances during camping trips or even as a home backup power solution. Plus, its waterproof technology and comprehensive protections ensure reliability in any weather condition. Keep enjoying your outdoor adventures and quality family time!
I will always be greatful for your spread sheets. I know how much time goes into testing and data collection to make them. I am relatively new to solar and have a tiny EB3A for camping but we have recently realized that we need something for very basic needs at home as well mostly for the frigid and freezer ( we have propane for cooking and heat)..🤞🏻 I will be looking at the Pecron . As always thank you Kris
This video and the commentary was amazing. I knew nothing about solar generators and feel like I have a much stronger baseline and understanding. He kept it interesting and I didn't loose interest. Thank you
Thanks for an un-biased, and very comprehensive review. These devices have come a long way, and are innovating at a rapid pace. The solar blankets seem promising, as well. Would like more information on them.
Chris is great and also mentioned Hobotech who has extensive info…take your time. Through our power loss from hurricane Ian, I’ve learned that having more power and solar panels is needed.
Thank you Kris, for taking the time for this video. Your review and explanations was easy to understand and to the point. The spreadsheet is beneficial to all of us. Thanks again to you and your crew.
Thank you for doing this video! I’ve watched each one of your solar generator videos, downloaded your spreadsheet and really appreciate the time and effort you put in to these reviews! I’ve been really interested the eco flow delta pro and because of price have been considering the new Anker option recently..
Great video, You can see a lot of work went into this. It would be nice to see these units hooked up to an occilisocpe while under load. It's amazing how many of these ''high end' units produce power with a THD greater than 5%.
I have the Ecoflow Delta and Delta Max as well as the solar panel. I just ordered the solar blanket for the portability. I also ordered the faraday bag to put both solar generators and accessories in it. I love my Ecoflow’s and I have used them several times. I’m considering purchasing another one but I don’t know if I want another Ecoflow or an Anker (based on your video). I’ll have to do more research.
Another reason I love this channel. I've recently been looking into generators and then this video pops up for me at the most opportune moment. You are a life saver Kris, thank you again for all you do.
Thanks again for all your work on producing this information. This is the size range I think will fit my needs best, especially the units with expansion capability. I had been looking at the new Anker and you have moved me closer to my decision, hopefully in the next few months.
i have a bunch of these myself...mostly to prepare for blackout. i figure i can attach one to each appliance while being indoors....fridge, freezer, tv/router, laundry etc. very handy.
Excellent content, great job as always, providing detailed information so that your followers can make educated decisions simply and quickly in these interesting times.
Alot of startups raise so much money and dump millions into marketing. Dump it into an awesome serviceble product at a good price point and give review units away. let the unit sell itself by people raving about it. Thank you for being honest as a lot of these companies just write a check for a good youtube review
I really like the professionalism you have shown in this video. I am looking for a solar generator. I have been reading and researching the Bluetti AC200 Max. Thanks for the spreadsheet it will help.

@@Jean.A.squirrel thank you!
I like your level headed fact based presentations
So easy these days to get all chicken little
Do I still have to sign up if I am already receiving you email newsletter?
Great detail and compressed information, thank you.
However, I am wondering if there is a particular reason you do not include the RENOGY Brand in your assessments, other than you just can't review every brand available?
I just purchased 3 of their 80w foldable panels and they work great, I also bought the Phoenix 500 lithium ion power box and am pleased also. Granted I've not even had them a full week. It took me ages, literally a couple years to jump in to this market after a so-so experience with the first little one I bought, a GoLabs 300 in 2019.
The RENOGY were all on sale and that was my push.
Plus, they been in business for a decade or so, and that sat well with me.
Anyway would love to hear your thoughts on this brand, if any.
Thank You, Kris, for all you do, as always, MUCH appreciated! Cheers
Nice work on the video. Let me know when your ready to move to Zidaho
This video is a prime example why these companies send you so many goods to review AND your subscription numbers have grown as fast as they have ….. thorough and complete information presented in such a way that we understand. Kris, thanks for all you do for us!!!
I appreciate that!
Aaaand he gives out a pair of gloves $10-40 each week. He has a sweet collection of stuff he has gotten from sponsors. A million subscribers earns you lots of incentive to review anything.
I would have a field day just watching all your generators do their thing…😂
_"This video is a prime example why these companies send you so many goods to review"_
Cuz getting free stuff doesn't create any incentive to give good reviews to keep the gravy train rolling🙄
@@kevinjohnson1139 and the icing on the cake is recommending solar panels that cost $10/w!
Dude… I’ve been watching solar and battery videos everyday for the past 2 months and your little explanation of watt hours just made everything click!! Finally thanks
So which one are you buying or boughg
Same… took me a while to finally find someone to speak my language! 😅
Although an obviously HUGE amount of work went into this - we really do appreciate the time and work. In the past I've been so overwhelmed trying to learn about solar energy I haven't actually moved to buy anything. This is an enormous help, thank you!
You are smart to do your research. My Dad jumped in too quickly and bought a terrible, outdated unit because he thought it was made in the USA and he saw a commercial for it.
Thank you for the information . We'll done on researching the equipment
I agree. One thing I found recently is Walmart is offering the Buetti AC200P for $1119 now - about $180 less than Bluetti. And Bluetti fulfills the order.
Agreed, I have lost count of the times I've almost bought one and then second guessed myself into oblivion. lol
information overload
I have a consistent brain block when it comes to understanding all this, but I always turn to you to help me get it into my brain. As always, I am gobsmacked by the bizarre amount of research and foot work you do on these videos. Thank you.
Kris, this video is the GOLD STANDARD for solar generator reviews: very well articulated, sharp, short, straight to the point, no bullshit, no repeating same informations over and over, thorough testing sheets, highly competent. I'm freaking loving your excellent work!
Thank you!
For someone that needs a book, "Solar Power for Dummies", your reviews are educational and contain the information I need to understand which unit will best serve my family. Thanks, so much!
I’ve watched all your solar generator videos and taken a lot of info in about them. I will mention even with battery expansion you are still only limited to what the unit can support no matter the amount of storage. I decided to get a second unit rather then the expansion battery since it doubled amount of devices, and the amount of charging which reduces the overall draw off one unit. Pecron stood out to me by price point, storage, and charging. 1300 watts charging in less then 2 hours at peak. I will add the panels come with 16 foot cords so your generator can be safely inside the house. Again thank you for all that you do. Looking forward to your next video.
😊
How’s your generator working for you
I have a tremendous amount of Anker products in my home, between portable power bricks, to soundcore earbuds, to USB adaptors and so on. I'll say both their quality and customer service has been second to none, so this review putting the 767 on top doesn't completely surprised me as I've been eyeballing that unit since it was released and watching many reviews. I'll say I'm glad my own research was confirmed through this review as I respect your channel and content immensely. You have the rare talent of simplifying technical information into a format that's consumable for everybody. Thank you for what you do.
I have been using the 767 for about a month. Absolutely love it.
Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts on Anker products! It's always great to hear positive feedback about a brand's quality and customer service. I completely understand the importance of reliable and durable gear, especially for outdoor enthusiasts like us.Speaking of quality, have you checked out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It seems like a fantastic option for outdoor activities and home backup power. With its massive capacity, fast recharging, and waterproof technology, it could be a valuable addition to your collection of outdoor gear. Keep up the great work on your research and happy camping!
Thank you for re-uploading this. I was beginning to think it was just me having the sound problems since nobody else had said anything when I commented. :) I didn't want to miss any of the video! So much good information and I'm glad you include warranty/customer service and cost rather than only looking at technical specs.
I’m pretty sure you are the best communicator of technical information that I’ve ever heard.
In 1993 I made a 1500 W solar generator that used a high capacity lead acid battery. The cost me $500 (odyssey battery) and I showcased it on national television in Canada live for 15 minutes. It’s amazing how the world has evolved.
That’s awesome, my grandparents had the side of their house covered in solar panels when I lived with them in the late eighties and early nineties .
Source?
Breakfast television in 1998
A very timely video. I was without power today for 5 hours due to wildfires here in Oklahoma City. I'm going to make good use of this info. Thanks.
Real good video, man. I'm at that point in my prepping that I need to dig into the power generator and solar panels. Really appreciate the dedication and hard work you put in on this. Helps so many of us!
Do you read your bible. All this prepping wont help you survive Armageddon. Jesus is coming soon.
You always do great reviews. I got my Bluetti AC200Max about 1 1/2 years ago. It's saved me through 2 power outages already powering my 7 cu ft freezer and 18 cu ft fridge overnight. I have about 800 W of solar panels. I was on the list for an Inergy 1500 expandable charger, but there was a substantial shipping delay the ship date, it was only 1500 W and was Lithium Ion, not LiFePo4 so I went with the Bluetti kick starter. I'm sure there's newer and better units today, but I got what I need. Thanks again for all your Videos!
I got the same one when it was released too, still waiting for the day it saves me though haha.
How much you spend on the equipments
@@dreyes8948 I think the Bluetti AC200 MAX was $ 1699 when I bought it. I also bought 4 Ecoworthy 195 W solar panels for $ 180 each. One of the panels was destroyed by FedEx so I returned it.
I just realized I robbed myself by not subscribing the first time I watched your video. Here I am again, and I just saw the wealth of information you have collected and are sharing. Your video is like a dozen reviews rolled into one, and now I'm robbing you. I have subscribed, liked, commented, and downloaded the spreadsheet!
Im a huge PECRON fan. I have 2 of their products and cant be more pleased with them. And their customer service is great. If you register their products you also get a 2nd year warranty.
Blown away at the details you’ve supplied us with and easy to understand explanation. Absolutely the best bar none, thank you for sharing 🎉
Hi Kris, this video came at the perfect time. I need desperately a generator. Turns out, living in a cabin in the woods is not as sexy as it sounds lol lots of work and having a generator it’s a must and you did a great job with this video. FP
The way you describe electric devices and circuits is second to none. Its simple, easier to understand than many others who attempt to describe electricity, and you mention the key points needed to understand this topic more thoroughly. Very thankful for your content. Thank you!
Thanks for all you do to keep US informed. I purchased a couple of different products a few years ago now there are so many more to choose from and so much more to know to make better choices. At 75 still learning Thanks for your time and efforts to help us out appreciated
I recently bought the Anker 767 and was greatly impressed with it. We also have the Ecoflow River 2 Max which is my go-to device for a very compact and light unit.
Excellent review and comparison. Even though I have the Delta Max 2000, the Pecron still stands out for simplicity and price! Thanks for your hard work sir.
I absolutely love my EcoFlow Delta Pro, with portable solar panels. I love this company's products!
Have you had it hooked up to the house? And how long(hr) did you get out of it with the solar. ? Thanks
I now have a Delta Pro with 2 additional backup batteries. I had an Ecoflow transfer switch installed with six 120 volt circuits available. That provides me with about 13 kwh of power (I believe). Your energy needs may be very different than mine. I am particularly concerned with hurricane blackouts, since I live in Florida. I have 580 watts of portable solar panels, which is skimpy. But it fits my needs. Great products!
I deeply agree with you about ANKER they are exceptional!
Considering the tight Market between Bluetti and Zachary now that they're in the running.
Sincerely appreciate your reviews and always look forward to your opinion on various equipment. I would love to have the Anker, but at this point it's a little pricey, but an excellent alternative for my needs as a senior, newly-retired and looking for solar options to run my used RV.
Zachary? Jackery perhaps?
Very impressive analysis.
This kind of analysis is usually behind a paywall.
Thank You for taking the time to share this.
I have been always on a tight budget but I saved and bought a ECOFLOW RIVER and then later added the second battery making it a MAX and I love it. Despite not using it for camping nearly as much as I wanted too it helped when my power went out in town. :)
I just bought 4 of the ecoflow
I’m so thankful for finding your channel, I’m 64 and don’t know a thing about any of this, hope to get one for my tiny home to keep my freezer going , thank you for your time, God Bless
Started with the EcoFlow River Max in spring of 2021. Loved it for running the Iceco fridge (VL60S) and charging small devices (phone, tablet, smartwatch). Only issue was putting out the solar panel every other day and running the risk of not having power (and ruined food) if it was cloudy for more than a day. Upgraded to the Delta Max in December 2022, just before the Delta 2 hit the market. It runs my fridge and allows me to take my Keurig with me as well. Delta Max runs the fridge and coffee machine, River Max for charging the phone, tablet, AirPods and smartwatch. I've been camping with these two power stations for 5 days and still have 30-40% left on both upon returning home, without having to put out the solar panels even once. It has proven to be the perfect combo for my off grid camping needs.
What solar panel do you have I have the eco flow river ad a 215 watt off grid trek solar blanket to run my arb fridge.
I came to your channel for the reviews and, quite frankly, stayed for the spreadsheets. You really are doing great work here.
Thank you for providing all of these info and providing the summary spreadsheet without forcing your audience sign up for anything before allowing download. This is a truly genuine video content with loads of information.
This has to be the most in-depth coverage of all power stations. Great job!
Wow, great work. Thanks for taking time to to break this down. What a difference a couple years make to this market. It really makes me want to hold off until next year but that’s not a risk I want to take. A good system now is better than the great system I don’t have yet.
And with inflation and supply chain shortages having one now is cheaper and better than not getting one at all later.
Thanks for all you do.
Tell everyone to get extra garden seeds. Sometimes you have to replant. We just got 3-4 inches of hail with 1 inch rain.
Re-plant
I was interested in seeing what you said about the Point Zero Titan. I have had this unit for 2 years and just got my 5th battery for it. What I love about it is that it is so simple to use, especially in an emergency situation. I, personally, don't want all the bells and whistles. It is heavy, but it is easy taken apart for transporting. We use it on our RV when boon docking. We went on a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains last week for 7 days and 6 nights. We have 200Ah of lithium batteries on our RV. We plugged the RV into the Titan with 4 batteries (turning off the house converter). At the end of the week, we had 28% of the house batteries left and 48% of Titan left. Next time, I will only take 3 Titan batteries. Thanks for your review of all these machines.
You would want the flex solar panels so you would not need to take that many batteries with you., or instal 5-7 rigid panels., for air conditioning it would be useful to have that many batteries.
Outstanding research, comparison of products and presentation. I have forwarded this to 7000 people. We all thank you!
I am grateful for this video. You go above and beyond in your research, testing and generosity in sharing your info. Thank you!
This is what I been looking for. Someone that can explain with practical ways I can calculate "MY" needs! Took only six mins in for a lightbulb to ping in my head. THANKS!
If I need information on prepping, this is one of my top choices for equipment recommendations. Chris, your thorough reviews are exceptional. The main reason I love your opinions is that you don't sell products through your site. Recommendations, yes. But when a site sells supplies or equipment, they have a built-in bias towards those products, you don't, and I respect you immensely for that. Could I suggest a future video addressing how you'd deal with a power grid or internet going down for an extended time and if any generator would work whet SHTF?😊
Yes that's what we are looking for.. something solar for a complete shutdown of society.. That would be a great vid.
This is just insane video. I can't even imagine how much work you put in to do this. With that said I just want to say thank you. For all the vids I have watched on these things yours is by far and away much better and the information included was well insane! Just when I thought I had everything figured out here comes your video. I'm and I assume most that watched this all the way through are more of the technical types.
Thank you for all the information and all your hard work putting this together.
Your spreadsheet is AMAZING! I did just verify that both the CPAP (ResMed) machines in this household are 90 watt, according to the inverter power source cord. If your spreadsheet were editable, it would be of even greater use to those of us DIYers out here! Thank you!
Most practical and informative video I've seen about these..
Is this guy a teacher??💯💯💯
Thank you for doing a deep review, sir. Very informative.
I have had the Point Zero Titan for more than 2 years. Not one issue never without power for my home. 👍
I’ve purchased the new battery., the 90 amp hr one in addition to the regular 70 amp battery and will start with 2000 watts from solar, it’s important to note that you will most likely get 80% efficiency from those panels so you can use a volt meter and add more that 2k worth of panels., more like another 4, one one each end of the two 1k kits each having 5 panels., so 7 panels each instead of 5, and it will work better., also I hope to not go past 50% of the batteries to keep them from being overworked.
I backed EcoFlow during their very first kickstarter around 2019. It was the Delta 1400 and backers got a lifetime warranty. Had mine replaced after discovering that using it to power a 1000 watt PC while connected to a power outlet ended up degading the battery. I use it for everything else since and still love mine to this day.
Interesting wasn't it marketed as a UPS
@@MotorCityMetalArtno it was marked as a emergency back up generator, not a ups
That's because it's not a ups, why did you buy a 3000$ emergency back up generator as a ups when it's not marketed as such?
@@everythingpony They actually advertised it as a tool that can work as a UPS during the Kickstarter. Also, how did you come across the $3000 figure? Not even the retail price is that much for the OD delta. I paid about $1300 CAD for it as an early bird offer.
Love how you break it down for all of us! I trust your knowledge. 😊
I have a generator that runs off of propane and it runs my entire farm but after listening to you, it might be worth investing into a backup to my backup 😊
When you are out of gas, you are powerless 😮😊
Depending on what load level you run it at, might be way more fuel efficient to use it to charge some batteries instead.
@@mauimixer6040 he should build a woodgas generator, best kept secret
One is none ;)
Back away from the computer.
Dude your ability to explain things is amazing i have a learning disability and i was shocked i was able to clearly understand everything. Thank you
Fantastic video. I appreciate how the information was related as well as the links and listing in the description. Well played player
Great video. In the first 10 years or so that we were in our house, we would only lose power 2-3 times a year. And never for more that a couple hours. In the last 2 years I have lost track of the number of times we have lost power for more that 8 hours. The last 3 outages have been for 9, 27 and 15 hours. We recently invested in the Bluetti AC300 and although we haven't had to use it, we are glad we did. We just don't have the confidence in the grid that we used to.
We lost power in my area in NorCal 4 times in March 2023 alone during storms.
Where do you live that power outages are that common? Is it middle of nowhere?
@@GameTimeWhy I won't get into specific location online, but I live in a suburb of a major city. About 5 miles from the local power plant. I've been hearing that alot of the grid in my area is old and requires specialized parts and crews to repair, hence the longer repair times when something goes poof.
@@bcmmike that's crazy. For me I get 1 blackout every year or two but it's typically a controlled one for maintenance.
@@GameTimeWhy In my case, I live in a heavily populated area but my home is at the bitter end of the power lines outside the city limits. Any fault nearby causes me to lose power for minutes to hours.
Wow, best 36 minutes I have ever spent watching a review video! Thant you so much, I was torn because I had no idea what much of the stuff means. Thank you!
I'm new in this stuff. I'm not even close to know anything about electricity or electrician stuff... And I can say that the EcoFlow is the friendliest easiest device to start with. Specially with the solar panel. They just make it so easy and simple.
Your so easy to understand, speak clearly and great English communication thank you
Impressive in depth review Chris. Thank you so much for all you do for the community.
The way u broke this down….. i know feel like an expert. Amazing!
Chris thanks for a well thought out video. My personal favorite is the Bluetti ac 500 for many of the same reasons you like anchor. Alternate power resources are likely to become more of a necessity than a luxury in all of our futures.
This is the best review, transparent and with amazing excel. Can thank you more for sharing this amazing sheet with the world. It would have taken days if not weeks to develop this tool. Hats off 🎉 and thank you.
Wow, that was a lot of information. In 2022 I bought two of my 4 children the Pecron after your initial review. My son loves it and uses it daily to power the TV and the gaming station his kids use. He also asked for a second solar panel and as of now he couldn’t be happier. I also bought my youngest daughter the Jackery, it is nice and light and they do camp a lot living in the mountains of Colorado. The only thing that was disappointing was the charging cycles. It only has 500 before it decreases where as the Pecron has 3500. Lastly I bought my oldest daughter the Bluetti because we are sending my RV to her in Alaska and it has the 30 amp plug in. As of now it is still in the box so I can’t give a review. I do know it is heavy and I can hardly move it around. Her husband will have no problems with it. I also bought the 600 watt Bluetti to send them as well since they do go ice fishing and camping a lot in Alaska. The hard part with them living in Alaska is I couldn’t find anyone who would ship to them, that is why we are taking the RV up there to enjoy through the summer and get the Solar Generators to them. All in all, it has been your recommendations that have helped me order these generators. Now all I need to do is figure out the best one for me and my 87 year old mother. But your videos have helped me understand so much more about solar generators and caused me to decide that all 4 of my children need one. Thank You again for all your wonderful videos. Be Blessed.
I like the video before even watching. These videos you make can save so many, and we all appreciate that. Thank you so much for saving my family
Thanks for the very thorough review Chris and very timely, I was just about to place an order for the Jackery 200O Pro but I think I’m going to give the Anker some serious thought now and put the Jackery on hold. I have had nothing but good results with all the products I’ve purchased from Anker in the past and was pleased to find out about this unit, I’m based in the UK so just hoping it’s available here. Keep up the great work you do.
I purchased two Ecoflow Delta Pros from costco last month. I was using one as an EPS for my garage freezer. The second never worked as an EPS out of the box, it would pass through the wall AC power, but eventually the Delta Pro would gradually drain battery power and never top itself off. Tech support took 1-2 weeks of emailing back and forth (they are in China and only respond in the middle of the night here in the US). Ended up sending the faulty Delta Pro in for warranty replacement. All this time the first Delta Pro was working fine as an EPS, then just 3 days ago it stopped topping itself off and the battery started to slowly drain. I boxed it up and returned it to Costco. Waiting on the warranty replacement to arrive so I can return that to Costco as well. In the end I'm probably going with a Franklin Whole Home battery backup system (27 kwh, 2 battery system) for about $22k after tax credit. A little more expensive than a fully expanded Ecoflow system (2 Delta Pro, 4 extra batteries, 1 smart home panel, plus electrician install) but it will use my home solar system for charging.
Amazing video that goes above and beyond any other information out there… Thank you Kris for all your effort for the community!
I have been a part-time van dweller since 2018 and a self-described nerd. I have used many different solar generators in search of the "perfect" one. I use a large solar generator for my house battery and typically carry a smaller unit for portable use, like powering a TV outside the van. I purchased the crowd-sourced version of the Bluetti AC 200 (that version was 1700 watts), and I also have a smaller EB3A. Both are innovative and well-built but use significant power when idling with DC power on (AC inverter off). If you have the units plugged into permanent solar panels, such as my roof-mounted ones, this will automatically turn them on, so it is hard to turn everything off to conserve power. For instance, my AC200 can drop over 10% in a night if I don't completely shut it down. That is not typical of other solar generators that I have used. Otherwise, it is a good unit. Over a year ago, I switched to a Pecron E3000 unit (no longer available on Amazon), and I have to say that I'm super pleased with it. It manages power loss much better than the AC200 and has performed flawlessly since I have had it. It is basic, but I don't require more than that. I recommend the Pecron if you can still find it. It was a great value for its massive 3KW capacity.
Thanks Kris for all the great info on the spreadsheet. I downloaded it and can't wait to see which one will work best for me. Thanks for all your (and your teams) hard work in putting this together. Stay safe and take care.
Bless you, Kris! Thanks so much for all the work you put in for us!
Actually Bluetti AC 200p is expandable and also has an auxiliary DC charging component add on to increase the charging by an additional 500 watts.
Yes, I second this
You have gone over and above in the comparison video. I actually bought one of the first solar generators years ago, the original Inergy Kodiak. I still have it and keep it safely stored away protected from EMP for for emergency use. I also built my own 3000w unit, on a separate dedicated electrical circuit,with 6-2000w solar panels and 4- 100AH CHIN LiFePO4 batteries, wired for a 24v system, that will allow for refrigeration, lights, and a modest amount of entertainment and other possible needs. Keep up the good work, we can certainly use your guidance. Happy Prepping!
You can expand the Bluetti ac200P with a b200 or b300. They have videos to show how.
Still I recommend the ac200Max for a few shekels more for some added benefit.
Wow…that spreadsheet is gold. Im Going to spend some serious time studying it. Thanks for the hard work it takes to put that together!
With all the different Solar Generators out there, your information and testing is truly appreciated. Like you, my choice is decided by my needs. Pecron offers a lot for a budget mind. But that Anker Powerhouse with the expanded battery looks really nice and what I should aim for. Thank you for your work and sharing.
A proven track record Is so important
Thank you for a great informative video
Thanks Kris for all of the work that’s gone into this video, you’ve shown us very useful information!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I see an enormous amount of research backing this video. I'm beginning to try to understand this necessary technology. Thank you for the jump-start!
Thank you for the effort to put this together. I was hoping that you would address the 12v charging capability of each unit, and whether you can use each unit while charging.
I have been pretty happy with my allpowers 2400. 2400watts, 3000 surge, 1500 ac charge, 600watts solar, 30 Amp rv plug, it's been running from wall running a cooler refrigerator for 8months, and has ups.
Very, very helpful, Kris!!! Love this channel! Thanks for all the hard work you put into it. It is eye-opening to hear all the news that the mainstream media leaves out… as well as new areas where I need to strengthen my prepping. Thanks again, Kris, for all the work you put in to this! 👍👍
Thank you for your kind words and support! I'm glad to hear that you found the video helpful. The Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series is definitely a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts like us. With its massive capacity, powerful output, and fast recharging capabilities, it's perfect for powering all our devices and appliances during camping trips or even as a home backup power solution. Plus, its waterproof technology and comprehensive protections ensure reliability in any weather condition. Keep enjoying your outdoor adventures and quality family time!
Keep up the great work! I'm a 66 year old prepper and really value your opinions.
I will always be greatful for your spread sheets. I know how much time goes into testing and data collection to make them. I am relatively new to solar and have a tiny EB3A for camping but we have recently realized that we need something for very basic needs at home as well mostly for the frigid and freezer ( we have propane for cooking and heat)..🤞🏻 I will be looking at the Pecron . As always thank you Kris
This video and the commentary was amazing. I knew nothing about solar generators and feel like I have a much stronger baseline and understanding. He kept it interesting and I didn't loose interest. Thank you
Thanks for an un-biased, and very comprehensive review.
These devices have come a long way, and are innovating at a rapid pace.
The solar blankets seem promising, as well. Would like more information on them.
Chris is great and also mentioned Hobotech who has extensive info…take your time. Through our power loss from hurricane Ian, I’ve learned that having more power and solar panels is needed.
Thank you Kris, for taking the time for this video. Your review and explanations was easy to understand and to the point. The spreadsheet is beneficial to all of us. Thanks again to you and your crew.
Even better than last year’s assessment! Thank you so much!
These are some of my favorite videos you do Chris. Power is the last missing link I need in my preps. Garden this year is going to be epic!
So glad this was a human-made comparison video and not an Ai-generated Amazon ad
Thank you for doing this video! I’ve watched each one of your solar generator videos, downloaded your spreadsheet and really appreciate the time and effort you put in to these reviews! I’ve been really interested the eco flow delta pro and because of price have been considering the new Anker option recently..
Amazing amount of information packed into this video. Putting it in my save category for PREPPING.
Great video, You can see a lot of work went into this. It would be nice to see these units hooked up to an occilisocpe while under load. It's amazing how many of these ''high end' units produce power with a THD greater than 5%.
All of these run perfect sine waves.
Man I came to see what a good recommendation for good solar generator was and I came out learning a lot of other important stuff
Thanks, Kris for researching and spending your time for us to understand and choose a solar generator for our needs. Keep the good work!
Very helpful to see all the options listed in one place. For non tech types like me it helps to see the options in an easy to read format
I have the Ecoflow Delta and Delta Max as well as the solar panel. I just ordered the solar blanket for the portability. I also ordered the faraday bag to put both solar generators and accessories in it. I love my Ecoflow’s and I have used them several times. I’m considering purchasing another one but I don’t know if I want another Ecoflow or an Anker (based on your video). I’ll have to do more research.
decided yet?
Wow thank you so much for all the details and hard work you put into this production. ❤❤❤
Well explained, Chris. So helpful for someone who is on the solar learning curve. Just the information I needed. Thanks!
Another reason I love this channel. I've recently been looking into generators and then this video pops up for me at the most opportune moment. You are a life saver Kris, thank you again for all you do.
Thanks again for all your work on producing this information. This is the size range I think will fit my needs best, especially the units with expansion capability. I had been looking at the new Anker and you have moved me closer to my decision, hopefully in the next few months.
i have a bunch of these myself...mostly to prepare for blackout. i figure i can attach one to each appliance while being indoors....fridge, freezer, tv/router, laundry etc. very handy.
Excellent content, great job as always, providing detailed information so that your followers can make educated decisions simply and quickly in these interesting times.
Alot of startups raise so much money and dump millions into marketing. Dump it into an awesome serviceble product at a good price point and give review units away. let the unit sell itself by people raving about it. Thank you for being honest as a lot of these companies just write a check for a good youtube review
I really like the professionalism you have shown in this video. I am looking for a solar generator. I have been reading and researching the Bluetti AC200 Max. Thanks for the spreadsheet it will help.
@zyklonbeast2711 I got the Bluetti Ac200max and it's working great.
I have a Bluetti and keep it in my truck.
Love ut!
