I wish that there were more people like you i the world :) Thanks for your very informational and fun video!
I was sending this video to a friend who was interested in solar. I decided to watch ur video again. You are very good at being a “Solar Chef” and tech expert all in one. Fun to watch again! 😉
Wow such a through review. Even the company itself didn't do as good a job showcasing it's features and capabilities. Thanks this will help me .
Since it has the app you could also use it as a home security device by plugging some lights into it and a TV and turn them on and off while you are away to make it look as if someone is home.
Thanks for a great video. It was one of the most practical demonstrations of the features of this particular product, or any other solar generator for that matter, I have ever seen. Many thumbs up.
Great video! Keep up the great work!
I have had great success using a Black & Decker 6 cup rice cooker - 120 Volts, 300 Watts using a solar generator. It steams rice and chicken together in about 25 mins. Hard boiled eggs (steamed in about 20 mins.) Another useful off-grid cooker is the Gosun Solar Fusion Stove. I have cooked a pork loin roast with just the sun in 40 mins. and alao baked banana bread and biscuits. The Fusion can cook plugged into a solar generator as it has a 12V cooking tray (350°F). Great for cloudy days and after dark.
We really have enjoyed your videos.
Very calm and informative. Woman with dog cooks meal outdoor! Thank you Darbin!
Been searching for what is the usage of 1200w power surge. Turns out it is for power lifting, with device that draws power 1200w(max). Now I know this power station is useful because we can use over 600w electronic stuffs even though it will slowed a bit. But still, we can use it! Thank you for testing it, very useful reviews and product
It also has a great UPS feature that when plugged into the wall will deliver wall power direct to your appliance without taxing the battery. Then it immediately switches to the battery during a power failure.
The panels looked a bit dirty as well, might get more if they were wiped off.
With the remaining battery you could heat water in that food cooker I would imagine for tea. Great link to that cooker thank you and very nice video.
That little cooker is pretty sweet. I just snagged one of those EB3As myself for $146 USD but haven't tried it out beyond a laptop, LED lights and phones. Glad to see it handles that 300w okay. I figured the power lifting feature would be a bit more limited as your demo noted.
I love your workspace! I'm so jealous! That power unit does look good, but no power brick means the transformer is built in to the unit and you're carrying it around with you unnecessarily - probably a kilogram or so that could be shaved off the weight.
Cool video and great technology. I bought a passive solar cooker (by Sol Cook) last year and can't wait to try it out this summer. Hope to make a video after I figure out how to use it. Love the idea of using the sun to cook with. I eventually would like to build one myself. My dad who is a beekeeper, built his own solar wax melter, so he can easily melt excess wax from the honey operation.
I just bought both! Can’t wait to try them out!!!
What a great video, I accidently came across your channel and had purchased 2 of these units on Prime day, few days ago. This is a great review and I might be buying a luch box aswell, thanks for sharing! Subscribed!
I loved this video! I'm like you; so excited to see how much FREE solar energy I can generate and store. I'm a definite solar generator junkie. Have 12 now with 2 more ordered. Ranging in capacity from 160wh to 4000wh. I have over 3500 watts in all portable panels and love to play around with the different panel/generator combinations. I live full time in a RV in southern Florida so solar is a big deal as we typically have lots and lots of sun. Hurricane season is almost here and I want to be ready in case we lose power for days or weeks. Lots of non-perishable food and 3 solar powered Acopower portable refrigerator/freezers and 45 gallons of fresh water in my rv tanks. Even have enough solar to run my 9500btu rooftop a/c. Keep up the great work!
Sounds like you are prepared. And these days you never know what's coming.
Hallo Dale, 14 Solar generators ? :-) I love them also, besides verry usefull also nice to play with them. At the moment i have 3 Solar Generators, 2 x Suaoki PS5B and 1 Bluetti EB3A. If you search for Suaoki and Bluetti you can find mij little video.
Really cool Linn! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 .... I have two Bluetti's myself.
LIFEPO4 batteries don't tend to explode or catch fire and burn your dwelling/forest down if things go wrong. Sadly some people from a 'major manufacturing country' have been supplying poor quality Li Ion cells & batteries (NOT lifepo4) which have been catching fire even when not abused & burning down homes.
Great Video!! Very informative!
I have an Electric 7"x7" frying pan. Uses just 60 watts to boil 12 oz of water from my 600 Watt OUPES solar generator. 😱
Planning to use the machine to go camping without a propane stove.
What model and make electric fry pan do you have please?
I'd love to see a review of the All American Sun Oven. Solar powered, no batteries needed.
Solar is great and it is fun since it is new but on the downside it isn't sunny every day! Sometimes it can be cloudy and rainy for days so you always need other sources of power. I wanted to add also there are electric pressure cookers you can get and cook much faster and with less power since it is pressurized!
Thanks. That was great. And fun ❤️
Very useful. Thanks!!!!
Great video
That's awesome because I'm thinking about getting solar for my sailboat and also for my dinghy to go on trips to Islands but it's hard cuz I can't afford it
the EB3A would be 100% perfecto if it had alittle more power like 700-800 watts. Ive seen one review where the EB3A shout down drawing less than 600 watts. One good this is it charges so quickly but it also discharges quickly.
Thanks for the video, could you share with us which induction cooktop you used in the experiment you mentioned? :)
It appears the Stariver that you reviewing is not on Amazon. I like yours better than what is available on Amazon
If you clean your solar panels you will get more charging power going into your generator.
What induction cooktop did you use? Loving your videos!
Darwin looks so cute
nice video thks a lot
😀
Please wipe off and or clean your panel. Power lifting is equivalent to Ecoflows xboost feature which reduces voltage be careful using the feature.
What is the make & model of your low wattage electric lunch box? I found your old video but the link goes to some single pot unit and not the unit in this video. Please provide the correct URL & model number for this Stariver Electric Lunch Box. I definitely need one!
Thank you
Thanks for the review of the EB3A, I did expect that it would have the option to connect an extra battery to increas the capacity. I was left hanging again by Bluetti.
You can. All you need are the proper cables. With one 12v battery it will deliver about 100w to the EB3A. With two 12v batteries connected in series for 24v, it will deliver approx 200w. Easy to do.
@@PremEx 9 months later... That's exactly what I'm planning to do.
Not the best guard dog, dwl! Awesome video to relax me.
Fun!
Do you live near Lynchburg? I swear I saw you in your leaf this morning ;)
Good
The lunch box you are reviewing and the recommended link are not the same item so there is no way to know how the linked item would work on the bluetti. I would really like to know if there is a place to buy the unit you are uding currently. I believe they’re no longer making it. What’s nice about the one you are reviewing is it has two separate bowls with a nice form factor. The linked item is large and bulky and there is no guarantee it will work effectively on the bluetti.
This EB3A is definitely just playing catch up to the Ecoflow River which was released for quite some time now.
Would power lifting work with an Instant Pot?
Great video! you have come a long way in understanding solar power. now for the next one and you have already started to see it. electric cars, now you can see how much power they take. when the government is telling us to all buy electric cars imagine them all charging off our grid, we struggle to run everyone's air conditioners in the summer and they want to add everyone's electric car. the grid won't take it.
These 300W lunch boxes don't seem available any more. I only see 60watt versions. Anybody have a link to one??
Are you still happy with this unit? I'm looking to buy.
What's the name of the cooker?? Your link is broken
you need to clean your panels as this will increase the incoming
Now $209 with $90 coupon on Amazon, as of 7/17/22.
Do you need to use BLUETTI solar? I got another brand but it’s not charging power station. ROCKPALS SP003 100W Foldable Solar Panel is the one I’m using.
We have a non Bluetti folding solar panel which works great. Elecaenta, 100 Watt. Maybe check your connector if it's not charging.
🤩🥰🤩
How many watts does Power lifting mode support? I can’t find it in user manual.
1200W but that's for a load with no inrush. Would be good to try it out with various power tools to see which ones will work and which ones won't.
EcoFlow river. Has a mode that is called x-boost. It does the same thing it lowers the voltage to make devices stay under the rated power of the unit.
what she not thing the car she bought is an huge power station . you could plug your house into the car when your off grid
It looked like the generator guy was probably running a 300-500$ generator. How much would it cost to get a solar setup working for the sized fridge he was using?
A full size residential fridge uses 500w while running. Portable fridge about 250w.
My 18 cu ft fridg draws 210 watts.
Thank you so much…👠🚌👠
Jackery should really improve their products because I won't spend my money on them unless they put out quality power stations.
Would you say that the EV (car) was a financially wise move? After hearing how much electricity it uses... I'm wondering which bullet to bite...fuel cost vs tech cost.....
Short answer is yes, definitely. I'll be doing a video on this soon.
@@darbinorvar Thanks so much!
Lunch box link is for totally different product.
You should see my Bluetti, it does not charge at all. I am still waiting for the replacement AC brick charger which is quite huge by the way.
The more we use solar the less we burn gas.
Cleaner and safer for the environment.
We cant keep living as we are.
Thank you.
I love solar generators but you should never shame gas generators. They can do so much more in a small package.
