Love my new Explorer 3000. So versatile, so much power and although quite heavy, is still lighter than other competitors models. Bought as a back up in the even of power outages (we have overhead cables running to our house so it's quite often an issue), but many other uses. I had some fencing to repair where the owner was not in, so took the unit to power my drills, circular saw (and even a fan). NO issue with it cutting out and was only down to 88% when I'd finished. I also play in a band and last weekend we had an outdoor gig run off a generator. Sometimes these generators cause interference with my gear, so I plugged my Marshall TSL100 Head in, running two cabs, all my pedals and transmitter and two fans. A whole evenings entertainment and the unit was only down to 72%. The Jackery app was perfect for me to be able to check usage and charge during the event. Next day, plugged in the 200W Solar panel and charged the unit back up again. Impressed how quickly it charges (I also own a Jackery 1000 and in comparison that charges slower). And also able to run our 5 berth caravan. It has a built in microwave 800W that we couldn't use unless we were on mains hook-up, but with the Explorer 3000 plugged in, no issues at all. The solar panel sits on the top of the caravan and keeps the Jackery at a reasonable level. At a recent BBQ in our garden, we were able to run some small speakers and several fans to keep everyone cool and with the solar panel plugged in, hardly took out any charge at all. I now charge all portable devices like phones and laptops and iPads with the unit and then plug in the solar panel to charge it back up again.
