What we like

  • IP65 dust and water rating
  • 800W solar input

Worth knowing

  • 3,600W peak lasts only 5 seconds, per Jackery
  • Less output than the Explorer 1500 v2 (2,000W)

Who shouldn't buy this

Don't buy it if it will live indoors: the Explorer 1500 v2 gives more output.

How this review works

This is a Researched review: we haven't used this product. We check every specification against at least two independent sources, re-check the US price on a schedule where we can track it automatically, and say plainly who it isn't for. Commissions never change a rating.
