- When It comes to products like this, you will often times find videos on CZcams which amount to nothing more than unboxings but with TOGR we do things differently;
I've been testing this product for over 6 months, I've taken it across the country to Colorado and have relied on it for countless adventures into the middle of nowhere and I have a lot to share.
This is a real overland review of the Jackery Explorer 1000 Power Station.
Also, I review the Jackery 100w Solar Panels.

Included : 1* Jackery Explorer 1000 Portable Power Station, 1*AC Adapter, 1* Car Charger Cable, 1*SolarSaga Parallel Adapter Cable, 1* User Guide
Review Pros :
Excellent quality - I’ve had no issues with this device; it has always worked flawlessly with no errors nor problems
3 standard PURE SINE WAVE AC outlets
Multiple ways to charge - Wall, DC, Solar
Power Levels is in percentages and not bars; bars are absolutely pointless and will get you into trouble as you will never be able to know exactly how much power you have left. Also, you won’t be able to determine how much power something that you plug in is being used.
1000w limit is great for running multiple items and appliances all at once and for running appliances that are under 1000w range.
Excellent Warranty - easy to contact the company via their web site and also via phone. Not all companies who make and sell power stations provide a phone number to call.
Dual Solar panel adapter cable included
Quick Charging via all methods;
8 hours by connecting two SolarSaga 100W solar panels together with an adapter cable
16 hours to charge via a single panel -
Solar Charge times are very much subjective and will be based on solar intensity, direction and so on.
Time for full recharging is approximately 7 hours from an AC outlet
11 hours from 12v car ports but your mileage will vary as there are differences in vehicles.
Features an Anderson Power port so you can use solar panels with this system
Good weight : I have larger power stations but they are a chore to move as they are very heavy. 22Lbs, isn’t bad
If charging via your start battery when the vehicle isn’t running, it does have built in protection so that you have enough juice to start. I don’t recommend doing this as you should drain your start battery.
Silent operation
Simple power solution for those who don’t want to mess with a dual battery system.
Review Cons :
Wattage usage can be slow to present on the lcd screen.
Flashlight isn’t super reliable.
Review Summary :
Without a doubt, the Jackery brand is the one Power Station Brand that I can easily recommend as it checks off all of the boxes for what I feel makes an excellent power station.
Lots of power, excellent peak wattage range, reliable, lots of ways to charge, quick to charge, power levels are in percentages, and can be charged via dc 12v.
1000wh is an excellent capacity for overlanding and also for emergency use; speaking of which, I’ve ran this station for months now and not once have I had any issues. I use it mainly to power my DC fridge/freezer and it has been excellent.

I have been waiting for an honest review on the Jackery. It seems everyone is trying to sell you on them on youtube. But.... sponsored videos can take the honesty out of it. So glad I heard it from Luke. When you are on the fence about something, Luke is the tipper that can push you, and you can trust.
EEEEEXXXAAAACCTLLLYYYY!
I took a look at the reviews which were on CZcams after I filmed mine and almost all of them were unboxing/mailbox reviews. Not a one that I saw even tested the unit....
- Luke
Go on now; your just trying to help Luke line his pockets.
@Jean-Louis Bourgeois That someone would be paying either $13,00.00 or $16,00.00 for the entire package, but if you got plenty of green, well then, I guess it doesn't matter to you.
@@TheOutdoorGearReview I like your reviews, but for a Lithium battery I'll go with Will Prowse's, which includes testing. czcams.com/video/wS5FgB-DD0w/video.html He has other reviews on other Jackery models as well as some of the competition.
I bought a 240 from Jackery. Months later they held a promotion where they were giving away a small power bank for the purchase of the 240. I emailed them, told them I bought mine months earlier and can I have one please. 2 weeks later, I got my power bank. Not only were they quick to respond, you have to respect that level of customer service and support
that's exactly the opposite of my experience. 18 attempts to contact them by email/ facebook etc... and nothing......
@@pseudopuppy160 what was your problem? covid probably has them with less employees
That's awesome. When you commit to supporting a company with a product at this price point, it's great to see the company reciprocating your patronage. Shows how good this company is and it builds customer loyalty.
They recently had a similar offer, except they let you have the smaller unit, AND they gave you a free adopted kid from a war-torn, third, world country. I let them know I had purchased 3 of those 240 units, and a week later, I now have 3 kids who don't speak English. Sweet deal! Thank you Jackery!!!
Damn that’s really awesome. Kinda makes me want to go with them over other companies
*Love how quite it is, New **Generater.Systems** maneuverable enough would be better with a little bigger wheel*
Have the Jackery 500 and it has worked flawlessly the whole time . Jackery is a great company !!!
Everything I get ends up stolen anyway... I don't bother anymore.
Same. I've used my 500 on 5 camping trips so far and it has been a reliable energy source. I'll be upgrading as soon as I can just so I can use more electronics.
@@timhosler6759 more Electronics while camping? Aren't you missing the point? LOL but yeah I appreciate all the stuff too still I hope you have a little time for nature
@@openeverydoor8879 the point is to have a good time I would say.
How long is the run time?
I did a fair bit of research on this type of power station and was leaning heavily toward this one. Your honest review tipped the scale and I bought this one today. Thank you so much!!
hey just reaching wondering if you still like? how has it been holding up?
Also curious how it's been for you?
Great review! I dropped mine from waist hieght onto the parking lot while unloading my gear. It literally bounced on the pavement. Has still worked perfectly without one hiccup.
This review is 'ON POINT' thanks Luke for a full detailed review, once again!
Thank you for explaining how long it takes to charge using the three options. You are the only reviewer that cared enough to share this vital information!
Just purchased the 1000 today w/ two solar panels $1400. I live in the hurricane zone south Mississippi. I have a 20kw Generac that runs on natural gas, but I’ve always feared a disruption in my gas service following a disaster, so this package is a solid plan B.
We appreciate you doing these reviews because ultimately you save us money and time and heartaches or show us great items thanks
Luke introduced me to UGQ Quilts (😍) and so many other items and saved me hundreds on things I’d have been taking a chance on. Luke is my go to and when I type in something for a review and see Luke has covered it I feel reassured.
I also just bought the jackery 1000 and 1 solar panel although I haven't even tried out my solar panel yet, but I love the jackery.. works great
I’ve been salivating over this unit and finally decided to pull the trigger after a cheaper version from another company left me unsatisfied. The price tag had me hesitant but your agenda free review gave me the confidence I needed to go thru with it. I always trust your opinion. Thanks Luke
Can I ask which brand it was and why it left you unsatisfied? Thanks!
Great review, Luke. I especially liked how you hooked all those gadgets up to it and showed them all charging at once.
I have been running the Jackery 500 for several months, No complaints at all !
Spot on review !!!
Hi. I am deciding on the 500 or 1000 model. I need if for 2-3 days wild camping and want to run a 12v fridge and charge up a few things when needed...do you think the 500 is capable? thanks 🙂
I've been doing the homework I normally do when researching purchases such as this and I'm sold after your wonderful and thorough review. I looked at reviews of power stations, the best of etc for 2022. The Jackery is at the top of every one of them. When I'm out building on my property it's off grid and this is perfect. Thanks.
Love the channel and the reviews that you give! I couldn't agree with you more about the Jackery products. I have the 240 model and it works great for my needs. I have also tried many portable power units over the years and this is the first one that seems to be well built and reliable.
I have an explorer 1000 and I'm super happy!... Also Jackery's customer service is excellent++ 👍
Many of us camp, backpack, and overland... given the big overlaps of those activities, I like how you review a variety of products that are of interest for all or just some of those activities.
Been watching reviews for a year on jackery...just took my 1400 stimulus and bought the 2 100 solar panels and jackery 1000...I pray I made the right decision because now I'm kinda broke lol
What was his teaching involving a Camel and the eye of the needle? Ahem!
@@shravaka6241 ignorance at its highest... When the power grid goes down I will be the only one that I know who has solar panels and a solar generator cooking my food turning my fan on and staying cool and charging my phone by the way..ahemmmm
Epic review as always. The unit looks like a durable, dependable unit. Thanks for the great review.
Quality is priceless in something that can deliver what you have shown us. Thank, Luke.
I returned mine wouldn't take a charge past 30% way too much for it not to work out the box .
Damn! I've been looking at this specific one for a bit and you've got me convinced. Very much appreciate your time and the thorough review, brotha!
Excellent video and very well made!
I’ve lived off grid in my little bus for just over two years. I have a pair of Jackery 240 Lithium, one at each end. I have used them every day and charged them various ways. I have never had a single problem in over 2 years of constant use.
Thank you for this thorough assessment. I wondered about the ability to power a fridge and your video successfully answered all of my questions.
The customer service information is highly interesting. Thanks for the agenda-free review!
Thank you for this review. I've been considering the Jackery 500 as an emergency backup power supply for the pellet stove fan in the winter. While we don't *usually* have power outages, it does happen. Since this is quite an outlay for strict budgets, I so appreciate the honest review of quality!
Hey
They sure have come a long way in the last ten years. That looks awesome. Hopefully they become more popular and drop in price in the years to come. To pricey for me still in Canadian beaver peso's. I bought a lil Jackery battery pack a few years ago. Only 6000 mah but it is still going strong and took a major beating. They seem like a alright company.
This look like a great product to try, and I think I will. Once again a great review. Thanks Luke. Peace!!!!
I’ve got the 240 and the 50watt panel. Works well. Does great on drone batteries while keeping the cell phone going. Ran my fridge for 2 days (low of 40- high of 55) without solar. Definitely happy with the purchase.
Good input sir. Been able to run my J1000 at around 1200w continuous without issues (electric burner), so it's definitely quite capable.
Very handy, depending on your setup. I think the best part about lithium stations like this is portability outdoors. Lead is a bit cheaper to make power, but you aren't going to be taking those batteries around with you.
Wow, incredible review. Straight forward, concise, and I’m able to understand everything you said! Well done!
Mine comes tomorrow and I’m pumped! Thank you for doing this review! Great job!
I've just purchased the Explorer 1000, solar panel and carrying case and I'm very happy with the build quality. It is exactly as I saw on Amazon UK. I really enjoyed your video. I've subbed you and watching your snow in the forest video. You live in a beautiful part of the world! Best regards from England.
Ordered mine today, but without solar panels, got even a $150 coupon through Amazon! I came here to see what charging cables/options come in the box, glad everything is inclusive, for this price I expected it. My SUV camping is going to be so much more easy with this power station, even without solar panels, I don't stay away from home for weeks, so charging of the Jackery can be done in the car while driving. Now I can use my Mini-Bullet, I can't function without a fruit smoothie in the morning, lol. And since I don't have a garage, no mile long extension cables needed anymore for the power tools during the process of converting my Nissan X-Trail into a mini-camper. Wonderful review!
Thanks. U sold me on the hackery 1000. Buying as soon as the ad is over. Getting my overlander gear setup now not only for trips but bug out emergencies too. Thanks Luke.
We just bought the 1000 based on my research, but it was nice feeling validated after watching your video. Thank you.
Ordered aJ 1000 on Black Friday. Shipped today, sun Nov 28, expected delivery on Tuesday, Nov 30, 2021.
I’m excited to test. And thanks to Luke for his objective review.
Thanks for the review, I have been on the fence of getting Jackery brand for my sister for her car camping, and I am more confident now to choose one - a smaller, less expensive Jackery though; and maybe one for myself, looks like it would be handy during hurricane season.
Great review as usual. Very informative. Thanks for all the work you put into these reviews. Helps us all out more than you know
I love that you added the Celsius for those of us that use it! Great review!
Thank you. I've been waiting for a Jackery review that I could trust.
I’ve had one for a few months. I have 2 of the rockpals 100w panels instead of the Jackery brand. They work great. I haven’t powered all of the things I want to test it on yet, but so far it’s done amazing on air pumps and electronics type things.
Glad to see your opinion, I just dropped for the Solar Saga 1000 kit from Jackery, looking forward to camping/overland use and it will certainly serve as emergency power at home as well. As always thanks for a great agenda free review I am much heartened with my investment having seen this. It was cheaper from the factory than on Amazon and free shipping too. Got a 12% off coupon while shopping it as well.
OUTSTANDING REVIEW AND I MUST CONCUR AS I HAVE BEEN USING MINE FOR OVER FOUR YEARS. THANKS FOR SHARING, MY FRIEND...
Have been considering a Jackery. Good to know they are solid units.
I've been happy with my Explorer 500; only regret is not going ahead with the 1000. I've made great use of it while camping and also at home. I have family members who require the occasional use of powered medical equipment and the 500 was extremely useful during a power outage. Plus it provides peace of mind. Its not a replacement for a home generator but the portability and ability to charge from solar are huge benefits even in the at-home role.
Been working with them for years. They make a pretty solid product especially with the deal with Honda. Pair their generators up with a solid solar panel and it’s a great system. Good review as always Luke.
@Living Survival, You work for them? Wonderful!! Can you get them to please reply to my sales enquiry?? I've tried 18 times, through 4 different emails, AND facebook.... and can't get through to anyone. Despite cc'ing in head office, "Peggy" is refusing to reply, and denying having ever received any emails. The Aussie page invites clients to "call" but there is NO phone number listed. Begging to spend money with a company is rather boring.
Which Honda generator do you use ?????
I wouldn't be surprised if Honda buys Jackery. I almost bought the Honda EB2200i generator. The Jackery Explorer 1000 could eventually become its green sibling.
@GOTFO Lol, there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON they wouldnt allow the jackery.
Its a friggin BATTERY.
Pfft
i hope you were joking.
@GOTFO yeeah i think he missed something in your comment. funny, tho. 😂
I've been looking at this generator and after seeing your review on it I'm going to get one to have for camping and any outdoor activities.
Hey Luke i can say thanks for the info on this unit it made me go out and get it because where i live i lose power alot and it will help a ton keep up the good work
Thanks so much for this review. Been considering which brand to buy and this is what i was leaning towards, but feel much better about it with your confirmation. I plan to install a semi-permanent 110 watt solar panel on my truck topper from northern tool for less than $150.
Just found this channel, this review answered every question I could think of, thanks!
I went with AllPowers (280wh) for mine and love it. It’s for emergencies mainly, I can run the fridge freezer on it with solar, but it does get the occasional use at the end of the garden.
Thanks for the review. I'm picking up a Modern Buggy teardrop trailer this weekend and it comes with this Jackery. I had some concerns that this power set up might not meet my needs, but you put me a little more at ease.
Thank you. Watched a couple of video reviews and yours put me over that line. I ordered it and looking forward to camping with it.
Thanks for the review! I just picked up The Jackery 1000 for $300. There was a flash sale on Amazon. So I'm extremely excited to try it!
Thanks for the honest review Luke. Will be getting one these in the future. Others online give it a thumbs up 👍🏻 as well.
I have the Jackery 500 and it's great. I highly recommend it.
Just got mine today. This review eased some of my anxiety / buyer remorse. Will post my experience after testing this thing out
oh i am glad your doing a review on the jackery.. i love it myself.
Hey Luke my Dad has that he got his last year he takes it on the boat and his camper he likes it a lot any way hope y'all are doing well much love your way be safe have a wonderful day
Thanks Luke been looking into getting a power station and this will help me pull the trigger.
I have to say your video is excellent, very thorough. Most of these guys talk about output amounts and tests they've done and what the numbers are which most people don't even understand,.. The only thing you're missed Is telling us where it's made.
I bought the Jackery 1000 with two solar panels and the 300. I’m currently traveling and it’s performed great!
Hey Luke! That looks and sounds like a great power station. I like how it's not too big and how you can run several things off of it at once. Great video!
Just want to say: Thank you. Jackery is currently 15% off in my country and I was really unsure to get one. It's some money. This video sold me.
Excellent review, Luke. I love Jackery. I did buy a 240 because that is all I can afford. I plug my heat blanket that is 12 volt to keep me warm at night and it does just fine. I first learned about them at Overland Expo. Hopefully, I can buy the 1000 one day. Have a great week.
Electric blankets are fine for emergency situations but they are notoriously high in EMF'S.
Researched portable power stations. Jackery by far is proven the best. Your review was extremely helpful and professionally presented. I will be purchasing the 1000w this year. Jackery does need to improve the solar panel to withstand moisture and rain to provide a perfect survival kit. Until such improvements are conducted, I will not purchase the panels. Thanks again for your fantastic review.
We live off grid and have a small solar system, we also have a generator for the big stuff like power tools. We are considering the Jackery 1000 for an additional power source. We like back ups for our back ups. You gave a good review, hitting the buy button ASAP. Thank you
Okay! I already have the Jackery 500 and it works great! But Jackery knocked off $100 the 1000 and I ordered it this morning! I need to run my fridge, fan and CPAP. Now I’m all set! Great gear!😉
My family and I live in a apartment. With the economy being unstable and the government being as nuts as it has been, my husband and I figured we better get serious about planning for emergencies in case the power goes out. I saw the Jackery 1000 on Amazon and saw that 90% gave it five stars. I decided to look on CZcams for reviews and your video was the first one I found. After hearing what you had to say, I think it will be a wise purchase. I love how portable it is and quiet. If I get a infrared heater for the winter, and the power goes out, it will be perfect to keep our appliances going and our place warm!
Luke, excellent review. If you like it, it’s a quality product.
I've been looking at some of these power supply's. Waiting on AvE to tear one down to see how skookem the internals are. Thanks for your review can't wait to see the next one
Just got my setup going and am so impressed. I'm not sure I chose "perfectly" since in 2024 there are some new options, and I find the fixed plastic handle a bothersome element in my already-crowded rear compartment, but I got a huge deal on both the battery and the solar panel. It really is as "plug and play" as you describe, so I was able to put it into my rig immediately. If it were a perfect rectangle with a foldable handle I'd have a bit less regret, but the idiot-proof power for days is simply astonishing
Can't wait to make some outdoor off-grid solar-powered synth videos :)
I am so glad to hear what you are saying about the Jackery 1000 I have a travel trailer HiLo for me a widow it is more than enough for me to go out on the road go fishing and just in general get away from people so I have given this slot of thought thank you for sharing your review I’m sold
Great review. Thank you Luke. Raining here on the coast of NC.
I got one for Christmas. I needed this. Now to go play with it! Thank
You!
Hey! How much battery percentage does it use on 1 phone charge...in addition, could it power one of those medium sized fridges? As well as, a small heater? And how long would it last?
@@jakewatson1160 i found it drained fast with my small heaters or a large power fan i have in the house. Rumor has it, it will run a small travel fridge. I dont have one of those so i havent tested that yet.
When i use the solar panel, it took 2 days to charge back up.
@@jakewatson1160 it uses very little for a phone.
Great review on a great product. Thanks Luke
I bought Jackery 1000 and 2 solar panels partially based on your recommendation, thanks!
I have a jackery 500 I bought to use in my jeep for overlanding. Excited to try it out. Was bit expensive buying it in Canada.
Have the 500 works great love how small it is.
Very cool. I believe that would be an excellent investment!
I have the 500' I live in apartment.
I thought it would be better than a gas/gen.
And with all the extra goodies you can get with low wattage draw ,
fan-light-walkman-head lamps-laptop-phone.
I'm looking at cooler next.
Very happy with my purchase so far,
Thanks for the review I just received mine today ! Looking forward to putting it to use
Have you used it yet? I am considering this model to serve as backup power in my condo.
When I need something like this , it will be the one I buy!
Don't wait until you need one to buy it. That's usually too late.
I appreciate your video. I have the unit you are describing and the panels. My solar panels did not come with a compartment with the Anderson power cords. Mine came in a separate box. Found them.
I am officially getting this for hurricane season. thank you!
I have both the Jackery 1000 and 500, plus a solar panel, all purchased in the past few months. I really love them because they are so well built and perform perfectly. Jackery has refined all their products to near perfection. I also really like my 2 huge Ego 30 Ah 2000w rigs but they are very bulky and limited to just 120VAC and USB-A outlets and can’t be charged with solar so I use them for larger AC items after major outages. I use the Jackerys for trips and as DC backup for my 12v fridge, etc. They are stored in a metal can faraday cage when not in use. For a SHTF situations, I also have homebuilt solar controllers, industrial panels and sine wave inverters and both propane and gas run generators, half stored in faraday cages for SHTF.
Can you power a home sized refridgerator with this 1000 jackery unit and maybe how long?
So this open and honest review, led me to purchase the Jackery 1000, yes there were cheaper, but i want reliability ( isnt that why we buy these in the first - to give you power when we have no other options). I did not purchase the solar panels from Jackery, as i found a better WATERPROOF version from Rockpals, for 2 x 100 panels (their new version) with kick-stands, so they can be angled towards the sun, for around $340 for 2 panels - they have an offer as of now ($40 off) through Amazon - i simply ordered 1 panel twice - so in effect got $80 off the 2 panels. This is an incredible saving over the Jackery Panels and they are waterproof too ! Thanks Luke.
I just bought one. Thank you for the review. I’m looking forward to getting acquainted w mine.
I purchased a Jackery 1000 AFTER I purchased a Jupiter 1500 watt inverter. When I saw all the wiring needed for the inverter, I changed my mind and got the Jack 1000. My thought was you’re still running off your truck battery. No worries now with the 1000.
I went camping and it was cold at night, I had brought an electric blanket and used it 3 nights on 4 setting! The next mornings I plugged in my 6 cup coffee maker no problem. Numerous charges on iPhones & iPad. Over the 3 days I never got below 50% power
So now that I’ve watched your video..... I’m gonna purchase a 12v fridge .... this is all your fault LoL
You’re right about this Jack 1000 best purchase I’ve made! This makes short camping trips VERY comfortable and you confirmed long overland trips as well.
The various charging components alone is a winner great review
I was recently looking into one 😊thank you for your review I always trust your opinion 😘
just bought one for my work trailer, excited to check it out.
Thank you for the dimensions right off the bat. It helps a lot for what I do .
Thanks Luke, appreciate your review. 😊
Your honesty sold me on getting one of these bad boys
Great review ! I had to have that coffee mug. It came Saturday!
I'm putting this on my wishlist for 2021 and Jackery solar panels.
Awesome review! I'm really excited about getting my Explorer 1000 with the 2 100W solar panels. I debated putting a 2nd battery in my 4Runner but cost for a good system is just as much as the solar setup and the Jackery has the added benefit of portability. With this solar plant, I can remove the weight from my truck when I don't need it. Can't do that with a secondary battery. Makes me feel good too knowing that I am harvesting solar energy rather than relying on fossil fuels. Sub'd.
