This is a commercial.
Well that's what they said
"This video is sponsored by the product featured" what gave it away?
I agree this is a commercial. You can be sponsored by and give the pros and cons and your opinion. This is just a script resuscitation.
They told them to make a 10 minute commercial and they were right on the money.
Imagine the bag that they paid for this.
A great example of Digital Trends "keeping the lights on." 😂
Indeed 😂😅😅🤣😅😂😅🤣
Really people this is the way Caleb & digital trends stay in business... Since you people love to skip AD'S which is a chuck of how they get paid they have to have sponsorship as well .. this isn't a commercial it's educational for people looking to install one of these!
Thank you... I'm still baffled that in 2024 people don't understand a first look/overview... Even though I'm not looking to buy whatever the product is... I'm still interested in learning about it and I'm glad Anker chose Caleb to present it
@@UONeal we're in the same mind State 😂
Biggest question of all for this paid commercial, How much is it??
Contact Anker?
Yup, as with any home backup battery system, there are simply too many variables involved to provide a flat rate. Read the description box for the contact link.
From a review on ZD Net
Anker has decided not to share the Solix X1's price tag. Prospective buyers must contact the Anker sales team to discuss order and pricing information.
@@Mr.Martini549 Don’t forget that the price of however many battery modules are deemed appropriate for the initial use case do not represent the final cost of installation. Hopefully Anker’s sales team would be coordinating with local regulators and trade associations to provide no surprises real world figures and timelines for that. These are not DIY/homeowner plug ‘n play systems.
@fonkenful that's a lie, the price of the equipment has nothing to do with your individual setup. 😂😅😅🤣😅😅😂
All we have been hearing is save save save, efficient efficient efficient..
We never heard anything about how much it actually cost

@@Mr.Martini549 so they can easily charge some persons outrageous prices and that's what I call terrible
He DID say it's a sponsored video, didn't he?! Jeez...

When is the LG C4 unboxing and review coming up?
It’d like to see an actual install and real life use video.
This commercial hurts my very good impression of this channel. It makes it me wonder how neutral other videos are. 😢
Ditto
Yeah, it's to much of a commercial trying to sell me crap
So are you willing to pay the hosts salary?
@@jeffsteyn7174 I pay for no ads. I consider sponsorships ads.
@@jeffsteyn7174 no why should I?
So, it's not so great for 100+ degree temperatures with 90% humidity?
Now where do you live ?!
@@111danish111in the Philippines
Man.....forget this, where's the Hisense U8N, review????? You unboxed it like two weeks ago.
You don't need to worry about the Hisense review because it's a TV you shouldn't be looking at 😅
when does u8n video come out?
Seriously...? This is nothing more than a commercial (bought and paid) for Anker.
right...just like those old ronco commercials..but wait..theres more
And it’s right at the 10:01 mark aka minimum length for monetization 🥱
So what? You're still watching is.
All videos have sponsors.
@@saulgoodman2018 plenty of channels posting non-sponsored reviews. I’d rather go there 🤷
Caleb just lost my subscription
Yes, it’s a sponsored video, but it’s a very interesting one and Caleb is genuinely enjoying the product!
But can you use it to charge and power your house at night, and not charge while still powering your home during the day - without solar. I want to use it to only charge during off peak, while providing power during both off peak and peak. This seams to be a rare feature if you're not also using solar.
What is the price /cost for each module? Anyone have contacts for a top quality installation company?
Does it do pass through charging via 110?
I’ve noticed the power walls at CES for a while now. I wondered when we would hear about it on this channel.
Anker finally did it, the ultimate powerbank!
Now that we’re done with the infomercial, maybe you can hook that Anker up to the U8N for a review 😉
As people are saying... How much is it.?? In response to all suggesting there is additional cost, that isn't the case for everybody and you can find the cost of a solar panels or inverters online too.
I noticed Anker won’t publicly publish pricing. Why is that? I’m not interested in giving all of my info to a company in order to compare them to competition. I think EG4 Powerpro with the 18k hybrid inverter appears to be the best value until Anker proves otherwise.
Before getting solar panels, best to have energy storage first.
That way you buy and store and lowest price and use as needed
Am buying once I get a house ❤❤❤
Something you didn't cover, and because you didn't cover it, I'm unsure if this system can do it, but if it can do it, it could be helpful to literally every household. Power directly from the power company can have spikes, which can cause damage to electronics. I'd like to know if this kind of system can take in the power from the power company, store it in the batteries, and then the house can be run completely from the batteries with a simulated wave that is cleaner then what the power company provides. Meaning, since the power from the power company never actually enters the house directly, there is never a chance of a power spike that can damage our expensive TVs, computers, etc. and of course, protection from unexpected power outages. I have no solar power, but if I could buy this kind of protection for my electronics on top of protection from power outages, I would very much consider it, and I think most people who follow your channel would also consider it.
Get a whole house surge protector. Much cheaper.
@@mpholicx2 I did get whole house surge protection, but surge protection and what I asked about aren't even close to the same thing.
@@mpholicx2but with the surge protector, you don’t get the mini brownout as the power flips over to battery. I’ve lost a few serious pieces of electronics over very short power interruptions
Beware, a lot of what that was said IS NOT SO in California. California is getting screwed by their PUC and PG&E.
unless you're off-grid
@@abb0ttwhich a lot of local municipalities have made illegal in California…With, I’m sure, absolutely NO backhanders from PGE or SCE
Definitely getting some type of system like this for my next home. So sick of power outages!
I'm very interested in your Theory of where television might be going in the next one hundred years or so, the nature of display and content. How will it hold our attention, what about information overload, cyber control or security of data. The original theory of technology is it would make things more affordable and easier to use???
Got nothing against new tv tech, but this is what I think of when I think of Digital Trends.
I guess I've been living under a rock.... I had no idea these existed.
Nice infomercial.....
What’s going on with the LG G4 and S95D reviews? The TVs have been out awhile now and a lot of the amateur reviews have been posted weeks ago. I think a lot of people are waiting for professional reviews from you and Vincent before they make a buying decision.
You guys failed on the battery chemistry understanding.
If a system like this can cost like 6,000 there is a unique untapped market for it: But the cost would need to include the following:
Solar Power panels absorb enough energy during the day to be stored in a system that is capable of delivering 60 AMPS of charging power for
a 2022 Chevy Bolt EV in under 8 hours. The break even cost is very long in a scenario like this, but it's justified considering all the other backup generator peace of mind benefits.
This feels like he just read off a script that anker gave him. Get that money though, i guess.
Pricing examples?
I’d assume it would be around $8-14,000
Where is hisense U8N review?
Nice ad
Pls make a video on lg NANOCELL tvs 📺
I am considering an qned 90t .
@@111danish111 pls go oled rather than investing on it
The Tesla wall does most of this already.
How long can it run my Sony HT-A9 system?
How long can it run a Nakamichi Dragon that Caleb never talks about anymore.
@@Jedi71 😂
Ac or Dc coupled
price? How do I get in Bangladesh?
Lol wear is the u8n review at its been two weeks 😆
Don't buy Anker products.
Why?
Many people would love to have this solar battery power station system !!!
How much money to purchase the whole solar power batteries system costs to be totally of grid for a 3000 square feet home?
😲😉💖🔋🌞💯🌏✌️
$20-30k, depending on your consumption, $20k if you don’t wanna include air-con, $30k if you do (if you live in somewhere like SoCal)
@pigsy1024 Thank you so much, John !
With an air conditioner, and two electric vehicles , how much would it cost for Canadians to purchase a solar battery power station like this one?
This sort of thing interests me, but not as sponcon.
So what if it is sponsored.
it certainly looks a nice product but the video tells you everything but the price as usual.... but says you will save a ton of money....
You're in Canada but not Anker
Ya ya ya
Interesting concepts, but I’d prefer transparent pricing and not getting into a conversation with a sales agent.
‼️ Feels like you’ve not being honest ‼️
Nice content
No, it's a commercial that doesn't fit the channel
Is this just an ad? It's a pity that the channel has to do this.
Love the video and love the product
But the electricity i produce i can get back for free when i need it so i don’t really need one 😅
I get paid content, but at least make it relatable to the 'brand' of the channel. I come for the media, TV, Q n A about systems vids... not whole house battery backup solutions that seem a better fit for DIY channels.
I disagree. This is pretty fucking interesting
I understand what you mean, but he can do whatever he wants + you can choose not to watch this particular video... He is the sole decider of direction his channel will go.
This is not a good system. GivEnergy AIO runs rings around this.
Nice video keep up the good work
, it's a commercial that doesn't fit the channel.
No, it's a commercial that doesn't fit the channel
I live in the United 🇬🇧 Kingdom, and I've inherited my late parents home, which is equipped with a Solar PV system, and a battery storage system in the garage. This will power the 65" LG OLED TV in the lounge!
"China!"
Nice design for stackable cell, but your systems are too expensive compared to other mfg's for 30 kWh of storage.
Other mfg's provide longer warranties and extended deep cycles compared to what you are offering.
Too much fluff and NOT enough technical information, including prices is given on your website for the Off Grid user.
Not everyone is connected to the grid!
Off Grid users require storage capacity from 30 kWh to 120 kWh using 10 to 15 kW of solar arrays.
This sounds like an amazing product. This was actually super interesting!
No, it's a commercial that doesn't fit the channel
"other systems" Say Tesla. We all know you are talking about them.
I'd definitely buy this just as a back up power, without solar.
Very cool. I like seeing home battery systems. We bought a new home and this may be what we purchase for it.
They even stole the app design.
Guys they have to make money to make content nothing is free . If you don’t vibe with a video maybe turn it off ?
you're losing credibility doing paid ads. it's been nice, time to go.
😂😂😂🤡
Do you wanna pay his salary?
Lol. Dude are you serious?
Anker pisses me off with the amount of effort it takes to find the specs on the hardware and this video is shit to explain those, These are very similar to the Ethos batteries and other stackable systems, each "inverter" (DC battery to AC Voltage) is limited to 3kw output with 1 battery module or 6kw output with 2-6 battery modules (maximum 6 batteries per "inverter" with the capacity to chain 6 of the "inverters" together, there is then a box called the Backup Controller 200-H that is basically the combiner box that you would run your EXISTING SOLAR INVERTER OUTPUT INTO, thats right folks, this System is incapable of being directly connected to Solar Panels, this is nothing more then an AC Coupled Battery Backup, there are NO MC4 connections, YOU NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS TAKING YOUR SOLAR DC POWER AND INVERTING IT TO AC IN ORDER TO CONNECT SOLAR TO THIS!!!!!
Caleb your reputation is all you have, don't do infomercial like this.... this is cringe worthy 😳
I fully understand sponsored videos and get that they pay the bills, but this video is honestly shocking to me from this channel. this is a glorified sponsored video and i know that nobody cares and will just move on but im unsubscribing, this kind of B.S pisses me off. its hard enough to know what's actually a good product these days with all the targeted ads but this for me is too much
I unsubscribed to your channel because of this advertisement. You have previously shown NO expertise in home backup systems. This was sponsored and sounded just like a commercial. Anker did this with their other home backup system to where they sent it out to CZcamsrs who all produced a scripted video that conveniently left out the main weakness of the product.
By doing this commercial you placed doubt on ALL of your product reviews. How can we trust anything that you say when your "reviews" are so easily "bought and paid for".
You should have stuck with your "bread and butter" of TV reviews or told people that you are expanding into home backup and solar generators and done so by using your own money first to purchase a system and review it to gain credibility
Really upset at Caleb right now !
He said at the beginning this was a sponsored video. It is not. It is a commercial.
In a sponsored video you compare this to similar products, you talk about pro's and con's (I doubt this product is perfect), you talk about the Cost of extra batteries and the extra Cost of solar, ect.
Based on what he does for a living and what is expected of this channel,
He should have clearly stated that this is More than sponsored.
Absolutely terrible idea, Caleb! This is a paid commercial. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Independence and freedom brought to you by the CCP 🇨🇳 I love me some Anker. I know their marketing schtick. Those nerds even gave me an $1,800 laser projector to ‘influence.’ Responding to a few threads with ‘no it can’t’ and ‘it’s subjective you fool’ was sweet. That being said this is EXTREMELY tacky. Leave puff piece BS to the webpage fellow Portlander.
