Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Plus

Purchased this Jackery Solar Generator Kit. It arrived in 3 separate shipping. I had problems charging it to 2 solar panels and battery pack from the main or base battery eventhough I followed the Instruction booklets. Customer service Jing had been so helpful guiding me step by step via email and amazon messages. Also emailed me pictures of installations. I bought this during Amazon Prime Day because of Deal of the Day. Charging fast when I tested all the outlets - cord power, USB & C ports. Very Satisfied customer here. I would recommend this products.

Professional packaging, padding and handling, with prompt delivery. I was looking for a solid made, Portable Power Station that would do a bit more than charge a Smartphone. Run a coffee pot? A toaster? I hooked up an Echo Show 8, a Laptop and a 43" HDTV. The User Manual is clearly written and illustrated. It explains the math to figure out wattage. The Jackery App installs simple enough and is effective. I registered with Jackery on their site for the 3 year warranty and got 2 years added. After my test run, I used the Solar Panels to recharge the battery. I have 2 Jackery Extention Cords to extend the panels outward, as needed. They appear to be solidly made. The Shadow Spot alignment is an excellent idea. I have 2 other Jackery Portable Stations. They're worth the cost.

We use this power bank for off-grid camping and for power outages at home. Its a real workhorse! At our first camping trip, we were surprised at how little battery power many of our devices used, and after a week we came home with power to spare. The solar panels work great and I would definitely recommend them. (Although of course, regular a/c power charging is the fastest.) Solar panels have a little target to be sure you have the best alignment to the sun, and I discovered that you can plug devices directly into the solar panels (like a cell phone) for charging. Not a huge fan of the easel-back flaps (with elastic) on the solar panels, but they work well and once you get the panels in place, changing the angle is easy. I like the ergonomics of the carry handle on the power bank (folds down flat, easy to carry) and find it easy to use and transport. Its a bit pricey, but well worth the $$.

This solar generator is a bargain coming with 2 100W Solar Panels!
I have unpacked the bundle, and charged the generator very quickly
by plugging it into a wall socket, but the panels arrived separately,
so I have not had the opportunity to charge the unit with the solar
panel as of yet. This unit was recommended by friends in NM who
have used the generator in an emergency and were grateful for their
purchase! I live in southern Louisiana, an area prone to hurricanes.
Our last hurricane left me powerless for 2 weeks, and the season has
begun, so I do not want to wait in very long gas lines if we are out of
power for weeks at a time. Everyone should have an alternative power
source. My choice is solar!

Purchased the Jackery 1000 Plus Solar Generator in April 2024.
We are replacing a portable gas generator.
The intent of use is when hurricanes and storms roll through the state and the power goes out in the house. Just looking to power a full size refrigerator, coffee maker and some lamps. We tested the solar panels with Full Sun and the generator powered up quickly to 100%. Then tested on a refrigerator in my garage for two hours. It took about 10% power. We have not downloaded the app yet so cannot comment about it. The generator is quiet and can hardly be heard when on. It is easy to set up and use out of the box.
Before purchasing we called and emailed the Jackery company customer service with some questions. They were informative and assisted us with our inquiries promptly.
