This has been the most real review of this product. Every other review out there is a bunch of wanna be hippies only talking about this product. Thanks for actually showing what it will/won’t power.
Thanks for watching. I’ll try to show a product strengths and weakness
Exactly what i was looking for. Wasn’t to interested in the other ones. This told me exactly what i can’t or can use it for. Thanks!! Looks like I’ll be buying a bigger one or just keep my generator 😂
Thank you for making this video. I am obsessed with lava lamps and it is comforting to know that the Jackery 300 will allow me to continue enjoying my lava lamp in the even of an emergency.
Never know when you need a lava lamp. Thanks for watching
lol!
RESPECT!
Sorry I bought this, it's almost useless
it actually did NOT run your big fridge, it just doesn't have the wattage to handle a load from the larger compressor. You may hear the compressor making noise but its not running it. An average home refrigerator uses about 200 to 400 watts to run but requires 800 to 1200 for surge or starting watts. Just check inside your fridge or on the back by the model for exact usage and start watts you need. Therefore the little Jackery (GREAT PRODUCT) is not enough to run the large appliances. But be very careful running any form of generator that does not supply the full amount of start up load for your appliance or you risk the possibility of damaging your compressor in the long run and causing pre-mature failure. A larger generator would work but remember you will draw down quickly your battery source. A 300 watt generator is perfect for running small lights or charging phones, laptops or evening running a printer but can not handle larger appliances with cooling or heating elements. Thanks for the videos! Hope this helps.
The jackery is great. Thanks for the advice and thanks for watching
good advice, makes me think I'll need a jackery 500 for my small sound equipment (for singing) to be on the safe side even though some think I shd get the cheapest one possible (like the 2 or 300)...
so which one would power a 10a 48v battery for an ebike...
What I don't think you mentioned is that this particular fridge seems to cool only the freezer, and then transfer that cooled space into the fridge side. The noise heard in the video was clearly the fan that blows air from the freezer into the refrigerator. There was no compressor running during that fridge test......
It is rare to have a refrigerator with two compressors; one for the freezer and one for the fridge. That was just the fan taking air from the freezer and cooling the fridge.
Nice thing about the Jackery is that you can charge it at the same time you have it under load. Makes the solar panel even more useful.
It comes in handy then trying to push it to the limit
Most of them do that.
@@stubones Bluetti doesn't, sadly.
@@ba2724 It doesn't, was going to watch it's performance
helpful to know - thinking of getting one for singing with sound equipment in patio areas of cafes
Great stuff!!! I did some research on my 300 watt power station and came to the conclusion it can’t power much but works for all my battery and laptop needs lol I did play some games with the tv though haha
I saw that. It shocked me that it will power my refrigerator. I really liked that one you have Thanks for watching
@@JDubbsadventure It powered the lights, not the fridge. Most household refrigerators need 700W with peak staring watts 1000W. I have a Jackery 300, it cannot even run my microwave or instatpot.
How can you say it dont run much? Lol.....the man just showed u many things. Lights, TV's, blower motor for his wood stove, phones, tablets, computers, internet modems, other reviews showed it can do heat blankets which on a road trip could b lifesaver if your car died. Your not buying the 300 to power massive or power hungry devices and utilities. I'm using mine to trickle charge my motorcycle at a storage unit with no power. It's great device
Best real life review I have seen on CZcams period. We need more country boys like this reviewing products, enough clickbait "reviewers". Subscribed.
I thank you
A great video demonstration of the Jackery, thank you.
Thanks for watching
This is the perfect review!!!! I literally was looking to see if it would power my instant pot. Great video
Part 2 coming
Thanks man!, this is exactly what I was wondering!
Glad it helps
If I'm not mistaken, it ran your big fridge cause it didn't actually run it haha...meaning it powered the lights and low electricity led buttons water pump etc, but there's no way in hell it's running any compressor lol.. no like others have said, it's really only good for charging small devices. Unfortunately if you want a battery that's practical for appliances, you need a 1500w-2500 and they run 1000 up to 4000.. it sucks cause that's what I need something to power electric cookware on the road, but I can't justify spending 1,200 on a damn battery... Just ranting. Enjoyed the video!
I’m glad you enjoyed the video… I might need to make another one checking smaller house hold appliances
The fridge compressor only needs 40w to run. They’re not exactly power hungry.
Well, I think the man said that the compressor kicked in, am I wrong. I agree- that is miracle country. My 2kw generator doesn't like my fridge and has been known to leave the room when the compressor surge arrives. Isn't science wonderful?! Oh, BTW, thank you to the 'Man' for all that work there.
I have run a fridge on a 400w inverter
@@ekilmartin2000 In the video, you can clearly hear that it's just the fan blowing air from the freezer to the fridge side. The compressor is not running. There is definitely noise, but most refrigerators do not have two compressors. He opened the fridge side when he should have opened the freezer side. Refrigerators without two compressors cool the freezer with the compressor, and then transfer cool air to the fridge side from the freezer.
This is the type of video I was looking for on this equipment.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video I’m making a part two based off of what people are asking me about the unit. Thanks for watching
really great video - exactly what I needed to know. I just ordered one of these with solar panels for blackout situation for sensitive electronics. Have a 5KW Honda Generator for refrigerators and portable heaters. This really was a great video. thanks
Hope it helped
Also, the big fridge cycles the compressor on and off to maintain constant temperature. So it only uses energy from the Jackery when compressor kicks in for a few minutes at a time.
I think the 1000-1500 would do a lot better, thanks for watching
Oh my gosh! You live in such a lovely place, so much lush greenery!!!
Thank you, Virginia is very green
Best review yet! Thank you
Thank you
Nice review for practical household items. Great video man.
Thanks
I think that with these power stations, a lot depends on how much the appliance uses when it's winding up. Many have high power requirements for the first minutes or so.
Another thing... the manufacturers recommend that for longest service, do not use more than 60% of the juice before recharging. 👍
Most of these examples where to push it to the limit.. I wouldn’t think the manufacturer would agree with my testing method. Thanks for watching
@@JDubbsadventure
Understood. Great job on the video! It was very informative.
I love this video. Thank you so much.
Thank you part 2 is coming
@@JDubbsadventure you should get and review the K-TOR peddle generator. I've been getting back into emergency prepper stuff. I don't know why but I've always been fascinated by generators.
That was helpful for me as we are expecting power cuts this year and I wanted to know if it would run a kettle, microwave, light and maybe the TV but it looks like it won’t. Just good for charging your phone iPad and things like that so not much good at things around the house.. appreciate your video very much! Cheers 🍻
It will run a tv and light but the kettle and microwave are a no go. I’d look into the jackery 1000-1500. There’s a lot of good brands out there check around
@@JDubbsadventure Thanks for the advice. It’s just in case we get power cuts this year and maybe next too.
I was a bit surprised about the fridge, tbh.
I have a 240 that I'll take on my back patio, hook it up to my Thunderbolt solar panel, and run my iPhone and work laptop with it all day when the weather is nice.
I took a look at the 2000. I hope you get one and put it through its paces. I can't rationalize having one, but I really want it :D
I’d love to try the 2000 and Iv reached out a few times to jackery
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. with the Instapot, which I have, I bet has a shut off due to power source. I think it might work. either way, great job.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Iv reached out to jackery asking them to send me a bigger unit for testing and haven’t heard anything. That said Iv had a few other companies ask me to test there’s so keep an eye out
lo...i busted out when you took out the lava lamp. Great video

Wow, this Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series sounds like an amazing backup power solution for outdoor camping and family time! It has a massive capacity, fast recharge time, and even waterproof technology. Plus, the smart app control feature is convenient. Thanks for sharing the recommendation!

Im going to bring along my lavalamp on my next camping trip. My food will rot but think of the fun Il have with that light.
This is a great review, i would have never thought it wouldn't run a air fryer or coffee maker
Your welcome
Love mine. It's come in handy so much. Went on vacation where wife still had 2 work the weekend and she forgot her laptop charger boom jackery PD input saved her powered her laptop all weekend...another over nighter she forgot her cpap cord boom jackery 300 kept her going about 6 or 7 hours of sleep with cpap. When I do work on the land it charges my dewalt batteries and trimmer batteries. It's great!!!
We use ours all the time but I’m testing another brand that maybe my new favorite
It's Tre crowder'$ cousin good real life review thank's
if you get a 1200watt inverter and several truck batteries you can run high end power items, the 2 highest power items are coffee makers n microwaves
I tried the microwave an it was bad so I didn’t even add it to the video. It would be great if you could power bigger appliances with such a small power pack
@@JDubbsadventure just need more batteries, I was trucker n had inverter quasi installed, 300wats will run most home appliances, so 300 good for camping to run a laptop that's about all, but run a house your going to want around 2000 to 5000 watts to keep house running
@@r.davidvaughan8887 I have a welder that is 8500 and it keeps the lights on thanks for watching
Can’t beat the ol genny!
There getting closer
I thought about getting one of those jacks I’m glad you were doing it ain’t gonna be no good for me
Maybe look at a bigger unit
I was thinking about getting one for tailgating and plugging in roku and small TV. How long does battery last? Thanks for video.
I would say it would power a tv not sure how long
The 300w is a great little power backup for plugging a light in and/or keeping your devices charged during a power outage but unfortunately it isn’t any good for appliances. I have the 300w but I probably should have bought the 500w. Regardless Jackery makes a great product…but if you want something that can run appliances you got to get at least the 1000w or 1500w version. Thanks for the video…take care.
I’d like to test out the 2000w jackery just to see what I can put it through, thanks for watching
@@JDubbsadventure And at 77 watts per hour of solar power how long will it take to recharge a 1000 watt Jackery? My guess around 26 hours. Are your days that long?
You answered my questions
That’s good
Most electrical appliances have stickers on the back listing power requirements. All of your counter top appliances will require 1000-1500w.
I had a few people ask if this unit would run certain items. I didn’t have high hopes but it was meant to be educational and to show what all you get
It didn't take much to run the fridge because it was already cold so the compress doesn't have to work as hard. Those newer fries only use as much juice as needed.
I did leave the fridge open for about 30 min for whatever that’s worth
My small jackety is usually used to power video production equipment and dose it quite well. I often use it on my day job to run work LED work lights and small power tools. I even was crazy enough to try to powe a small digital sound mixer and two powered speakers each with 1000 watt class D amplifiers... Well it did it and we were able to reach a reasonable volume level for about 1 1/2 hours. Then it needed a charge. I usually recharge it over night in the work van and am ready for the next day. Long story short the small jackery is good for small or high efficiency equipment that don't need high amounts starting surge power but it simply will not handle large power draw appliances .
Nice
What do you think brother will that jackery run the pump on a self inflating air mattress for camping? what about an external pump for an air mattress. Just tired of lugging around my gas generator. What About a small electric heater for a tent?
I can check on the heater but the air pump it does great I use it for that quite often. Thanks for watching
@@JDubbsadventure Thank you brother
great video..I have a halo jump starter and it wont even power an ebike battery @10A 48v...I was wondering which one i need to buy..
Thanks for watching. a simple amps to watts converter on google will give you a good starting point to look. 10 amps at 48v = 480 watts… I’d go with a 1000 or the 1500 is $600 refurbished on Amazon right now I’ll be doing a video on the 1500 any day now
Here is our affiliate link amzn.to/3TW6hh3
Seems perfect , Is it possible to live in remote area and all rely on the power station.?
It depends on the power you require. I love off grid multiple time a month using just the 300 or 240. I use it for lights charging phones and cameras and never needed more. If you want more of a house unit I’d look Into the 1500 or I think there’s a 2000 watt unit. Thanks for watching
Thanks
👍🏻
I think it will run anything under 300 watts of power, or 5 things that stay under 300 watts together. I also have the 300 unit
It’s surprising what it will run if you push it
do you happen to know of a good portable battery solution that I can use with a holographic fan so I can walk around in public with the holographic fan? they say the holographic fan requires 60 watts. ALSO, is it safe to keep the power station in a vented backpack on your back like will it give me back cancer or something? any (brand/model) recommendations ? I just want the smallest power supply I can find that can power it for at least 1-2+ (2+ preferably) hours.
That’s out of my expertise you will have to contact jackery
I just want to know if it will power a movie projector for movies while camping
I’d think so
My interest in this product is will it run my power tool charging station. I have an Echo battery weed trimmer and I might need to recharge the battery while out on my mowing jobs
I have a part two video should be an end card
Did the same, got a 300w unit too, 42inch tv and android box worked well 2hrs (loadshedding) with 66% left, worked a 110w fan, full speed four 4hrs, charges the laptop, and my desktop, also was disappointed couldn't run, kettle, microwave or fridge, but at its price I will not complain, thank you for the video....will it run a drilling machine? Ray
Most well drilling rigs are diesel
Thanks for the review video 👍🏻
I've been trying to make a decision on buying a portable power station to run 2 ring portable stove to heat water and soup pots.
Seeing what you tried using, I think this would struggle. Would you agree?
I’d look at a duel fuel stove
@@JDubbsadventure thanks for the advice 👍🏻
I was only looking at one of these to run a heated blanket while I am camping. I am skeptical now. Looks like I'll stick with the trusted wool blanket instead.
It runs ours fine. We have a few Iv never tried two at once but they don’t pull many watts
thanks bro just got the 300 on amazon prime day for $209.99.
Anytime I’m thinking of doing another video like this hope you enjoyed
@@JDubbsadventure cool i just subbed
Damn I missed that deal..
@@Jay_Hova420 they run deals often on this unit
@@JDubbsadventure yea I see it's on Amazon for $270 right now with a free light.. I'm thinking about it but I think I may need something with more watts.. I think I may go all out instead of buying twice
Look at that little toy jackery
There all toys at this size
As Darth Vader once said. Impressive, most Impressive
Thanks
What was the wattage on the lava lamp? I ordered that exact unit yesterday APR30 discount code so total was 241.00 . I knew it would be used for travel to charge phones very low wattage fan and low wattage lights, I didn’t have any expectation for anything else so travel and camping or low wattage use should be fantastic, I was happy to see this video do others won’t have to expect more out of like you said there is the 500 and 1000 I personally want to start with the smaller one. I just did my first car camping trip in February three nights four days and yes shower at the gym and I was waiting for my phone to charge. I had no light on my trip to except car light. Parking under lamp posts was ok but you can’t turn that light off. No blackout curtains.
My small dog loved the trip and wants to go again.
I have been purchasing camping equipment from the new Menards in Richmond Kentucky. Thanks that was a needed video for everyone who is considering getting a Jackery.
Not sure what it was maybe 60-80 watts
@@JDubbsadventure thanks for the reply I have since bought a 1000 and solar panel
thanks my friend good work I was crazy to buy one of those for my espresso machine but now I don't buy it 👍🏻
That would be a bit much lol
I don't know if this helps, but Makita makes an 18v coffee maker and Coleman makes a propane powered coffee maker.
Thank you for the info, I do have a few Colman gas stoves and love them. I camp a lot but someone asked me if the jackery would power a coffee makes so I tested it
Would this work to charge a 36 v trolling motor system for my boat ...I would hook it up to a noco so I would just need one plug to charge the deep cycle batteries ...would u recommend this product?
To charge maybe I’m not sure You need to find out how many watt hours are in your battery’s now. Your gonna need that plus what it takes to run the inverter. I enjoy mine but I haven’t tried it for such a demanding Application
Thank you
Look at it this way, now you’ve got all that space in your vehicle from things you don’t have to bring camping because your portable power station won’t power them. lol 😂
Haha that’s right. It’s all about perspective, thanks for watching
So nice
Thank you
So will it run a space heater, and for how long??
It depends
Does anyone make something like this that just has replaceable charge batteries? Like my battery powered tools do
I would like to find something that I could keep charged batteries in the house
We don't get much sun in a blizzard so any ideas?
Dewalt makes a power bank that uses there 18v system
I bet it would we work on some old school appliances like Mr coffee or a electric skillet
It might. I don’t have any to test
do you think this could power a 7 cubic ft chest freezer?
I wouldn’t think so. If it could your not gonna get much time. I’d look more at 500-1000w or a 12 volt fridge
Whenever heat is involved in an appliance it takes a ton of juice.
Amen to that, it did surprise me on what I can do
What about charging power tool batteries?
Not sure but I can try it and get back to you
@@JDubbsadventure doing Gods work
I was wondering the same thing, how it handled charging cordless tool batteries.
I changed my ridgid 2amph battery today and the unit worked well pulls about 50 watts but never cut off. The time was the same as if I had it plugged in the wall
I can run the fridge but for how long? An hour? What about if it’s off for hours?
Well that really depends on your refrigerator. We lost power a few months back for 6 days and 2 jackery units (300&500)with 2 solar panels it worked as if it was plugged into the wall. The only “problem” was remembering to switch the units around. I think the 500 or 1000 with a 100w solar panel would work for the refrigerator if that’s what you’re wanting that would be a plug it up and forget it setup
Can I hook up a Vissani Magic Chef Compact Refrigerator 4.3 cu. ft. Mini Refrigerator
Not really sure, never seen that unit
do you still recommend this...i want to get somethign to power up a laptop continuously
Yes we use ours for this often
One of those simple kill-o-watt power monitors would have told you the same thing with fewer contortions. I'd advise anybody who is thinking about one of these Jackerys to invest 15 bucks in a meter/monitor to first decide how large a power unit you need to buy for whatever you want to power. Personally, I sprung for the 880, (will supply 1000 with a 2000watt surge) because I know it will power either my fridge or freezer. Tip: ANYTHING with a heater is gonna be a power black hole. Yeepers - I clocked my danged toaster at an 800 watt draw. Also, your kitchen fridge might be a lot newer or just plain a lot more energy efficient than the cheesy little dorm fridge. Needs further research on your part. Like I said - get one of those Kill-o-watt meters. Watch when it kicks in for the startup surge.
Good info I do have a “kill-o-watt” meter. Thanks for watching
Yeah, a lot of heating elements pull at least 1500 watts. Good review man. This is the reason why I haven't bought one yet. Not really practical for me. Most phone battery's will last a few days. I like to go truck camping with my dog. Sometimes with a tent. I have a 24" tv in my truck with a DVD player. I wonder how long it would run it?
We had scheduled power outage a week ago. I was very sad to find out my jackery 500 does not run my coffee maker. Very sad indeed.
The 1500 maybe more what your looking for
Will this power regular lamps for power
Yes without any problems
How can it power a full sized refrigerator but not a little coffee maker!?? 🧐
Different power draw.
Well it keep a box fan running for camping?
Yes! I just did a 10 min test and it averaged 47watts on high
And 31 watts on low
@@JDubbsadventure thank you it seems like a good deal. Amazing currently has then for 260 .. I'm new to camping and would like to just take one box fan and a jackery instead of 3 small usb fans with individual powersource.
These portable batteries cannot power resistive heating elements easily. Even if its in their power range their sensors trigger.
Some things will run easily because of their efficiency and careful powerhandling like your big fridge. Such things do not trigger the sensor but yes any sort of resistance that this battery finds unacceptable even in some motors it will power off.
In case of appliances like blenders where they will pull variable power like 500w then suddenly 800w once you put ice in it or sometning.... the jackery will hesitate here alot it does not like too much variable current draw.
Bonus...
If you cool the top of a lava lamp it goes up and down faster.
Didn’t know the lava lamp fact, I’ll have to try it out
@@JDubbsadventure ☺☺☺ 👍🏻
You should try your big fridge raider again if you shut off that means those things that’s up to it the coffee maker and all that stuff that’s up to that lol Jack they
Alright
Will this run 18000 lumens work light?
I would say yes but it depends. 18000 with led will use less watts then 18000 of halogen
Nice vid!! You are using your 300 with wrong things. I have the 240 and able to run things like an yyyy lamp like you said, but also the square box window fans, flat screen tvs, radios, cd and DVD players, and a whole lot more. Keep trying different stuff and you'll be surprised 😎
I agree but most of theses examples where viewer questions that Iv put together into one video
How long do you think it could power a small TV? Any idea?
What about a heated blacket
I have a 120v one it makes it about 8 hours and I have a 12v one that last about 20
U have to turn on the on button first them put the setting on😊
Yes
How about a regular table fan?
I just tested a box fan for a guy it did great but 5-6 hours was all I got out of it
@@JDubbsadventure
If I wake up after six hours sleep, and it's still running I would be pleased. 👍
Just go with the Jackery 1000 Pro to play it safe! No solar panels needed as it charges in about 2 hours 👍
I agree. I like the solar panels just for another option in emergency situation
Maybe the big refrigerator is energy efficient maybe that makes a difference Because energy efficient uses less power somehow slower or something I don't know
Definitely a possibility
Tim Allen said, you need MORE POWER!
TTTMT
Can we use it heater and how long
Nope
Would it run a window ac
Maybe a VERY small one. But I’m gonna say no
I got heavy one 100 from harbor freight
Nice
these things are great for charging devices or running laptops/tv's, mini fridges, lights, etc. but not so great for appliances. id suggest for anyone to get a butane stove for cooking and boiling water and ditching those appliances for camping or getting caught in a power outage
There surprising what you can run with it
But how long can it run the fridge... no one answers that question
Not sure, it would depend on the outside temp, how often your in the fridge, how efficient your fridge runs, how often your compressor cuts on and for how long. And I’m sure other things
I ust bought one for the purpose of running a small heater and coffee maker. Very disappointed. I'm debating whether to keep it or not. It will charge my phone and laptop though, but I really want something to run a heater just in case we lose power.
I’d do a 1000 for that
@@JDubbsadventure Thanks for letting me know, I was afraid that was going to be the case. The price goes up so much with the higher wattage.
It took an hour to charge from 95% to 100%?
Most things slow down when you get to 95% so you don’t over charge it. Your phone also does it but with the smaller battery it’s not as noticeable
The 240 does come with two USB ports
Yes I need to correct that I meant Usbc port I believe I said usb
Can you charge it by plug it in
Yes ac and solar power
I purchased my Jackery Explorer 300 because I needed an outlet to plug my laptop into in an area of my apartment that didn’t have an outlet.
I use my almost everyday day for this
What about an air fryer?
Check video 2 I believe it’s on there
You would have to have the fridge plugged in at least an hour.... end result....it would not power the fridge
I need to test out the 500
“I use it cayyyyympin’”
👍🏻
Does the generator run the tv
It will
For how long?
Depends on the load. Every tv is different but 36 watts would give you roughly 8.5 hours
I believe the starting watts of the cooker and coffee pot are too much for the jackery.
I believe your right, thanks for watching
@@JDubbsadventure You're welcome.
Thank you save me some money and time 🙏
That’s the hope
Can it handle a scooter
Probably but Iv never tried
But you can get a Coleman to cook on it’s not expensive. use the Jackery for charging items still a win win situation
That’s true if you watch our camping videos you will see that and others ways we cook
New big fridges use a more efficient compressor than the mini fridges, which use the oldest most inefficient tech. Hell i tried and ice maker and was also disappointed in the results. So it really depends on the compressor style.
True
