I imagine there are a few videos coming out. Jackery is heavily promoting for Black Friday. I usually turn down most requests to do reviews but have been quite interested in these larger power stations. Ultimately it will be used to power up a new project next year, so will go to good use 😉
Thank you very much for your thoughtful review of Jackery. We appreciate your thorough testing of the Jackery 2000 Plus in various scenarios, providing valuable insights for everyone to better understand Jackery. We have taken note of your suggestions and hope to bring more practical and advanced technology to everyone next year.
No problem at all Jackery. I would love to see some Anderson oulets, I think in the end I cut that out but have provided some feedback outside of the video. It's a great bit of gear and did absolutely everything I expected of it. I still can't believe the power those Solar Saga panels put out in full sun 👌
I looked into the Bluetti (sounds awesome) a bit ago and read some reviews that found that just turning it on drew a fair bit of power (almost as much as a fridge). It meant that if you’re running a 12 volt system for camping (which draws small amount energy over a longer period) it became quite inefficient so good for decent draw but not great for small set ups- so if you’re major power draw is a 60lt fridge it would be like running 2x fridges. A lot of the promoters never mentioned this, it only came out through non sponsored reviews afterwards and Bluetti never confirmed or denied it. Have you run this over night with a 12v fridge? How does it go compared to a 12v set up in the Jayco? How much power do you have left compared to say a 100ah lithium say?
I came across this also. It doesn't seem to be too bad in this, I actually did a fair bit of research before committing. In all honesty the video was a rush (a few 3am nights) so I didn't get to test everything. That said, I use my EcoFlow River Pro to run our fridge all the time and it's extremely efficient. I would say it has much 'parasitic' draw at all. If you leave the inverter on, then yes, these will consume approximately 20% of their capacity in 'stand by' over a 24hr period. On 12v they aren't bad, plus you are usually topping up daily. So if we were to plug this into our Journey or the Swan to run the 240v outlets etc, just like a built in inverter, I would turn off when you are finished with the appliance you are using. It's potentially worse in this scenario as it could in affect start charging your house battery through the J35 if it was low. I will probably use it as a separate portable power bank in all honesty. Great point and I do have plans for a follow up and will address these items as well as doing a comparison against buying the components separately and building a similar setup. Ultimately the time and money spent on CZcams videos and projects is very unsustainable, so a few sponsored things here and there do keep it running. I do heavily pick and choose however.
@@WorkLivePlay disappointing you find it unsustainable because I really do like your reviews, they are thorough and answer all the questions I have… I recently bought the fire pit from BFT that you reviewed (including all the add ons). That was a great decision. I think comparing an all in one model vs buying all the bits separately is a great idea. Won’t be easy though, it gets complex quickly. Looking forward to seeing it.
@@sa2591-p5d I feel it could be a really good video and open up discussion. I will put my thinking cap on 😉 Soo much work goes on in the background it's hard to keep up sometimes, having people message saying things keeps me going 😊👍
I enjoy your videos because you are a talented DIY person. I’m a bit disappointed because I’m sure you could put together something like this at less than halve the price. You need to review the point where you said the unit had 2000kw capacity. That’s 2 megawatts. I think you made an unintentional tech error. Sorry, but I’m not impressed with these overpriced solar generators.
Actually that's a very good point and another thing I have weighed up in the background. I will do a follow up video on this as I always expect a bit of backlash with these videos. To a degree you are paying a premium for the packaged portability but it's not as great as it would initially seem. Using RRP prices to make a fair comparison, the 2000 Plus is $3600. I did some numbers using Renogy components (given they are middle of the road) and you sit around $3k for roughly the same specification of components. However this is before any enclosure, cabling and hardware is considered. I'd love to do a build just to see how the two compare but just don't have the money at the moment unfortunately. I put this in another response however some of these sponsored items (which I pick and choose very carefully) soften the time and monetary costs of producing the DIY content as it's really just a labour of love. This and the next video (which is also a sponsored item 🫣) will make up 2 pretty major components in a new project early next year. I'm going to try to do something a little different to potentially tackle a Cape York or some more remote locations 😉 I must admit I missed that 2000kw in editing - usually cut out or dub over any mistakes where my mouth doesn't quite link with the brain, it was a few very late nights to meet a crazy deadline unfortunately 😂
Take out the solar panels and the 2000 Plus is $3600. However you would buy on special like most. I've actually done the numbers using a Renogy (given they are middle tier) components to get a similar specification setup and it came to $3000, that's without hardware, cabling, enclosure etc so it's not a crazy difference. You can, obviously, get a lot of specials and cheaper components.These units will also go on special layer this week as well. I will probably do a follow up video on this out of my own interest to compare. I'd love to build a system properly review against, I will see what I can do 👍
The 3rd CZcamsr to post a video about these at 5 pm today ,,,,,

love your videos mate, just getting into caravaning with a jayco journey over here in Tamworth keep up the good work....
I'm glad they help you out 😁, there is plenty coming including a fridge slide under the lounge I want to get done pretty soon 👍

Nearly $5000 for that!!! Umm no thanks.
