Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Portable Power Station, 2042Wh LiFePO4 Home Backup Battery, 2200W Solar Generator, USB-C PD 100W Fast Charging for Emergencies, Power Outages,…

Great little generator, works well in power outages. I used it twice since I bought it in July.

I absolutely love this! I use it every day. I only have to plug it in to recharge it every five days or so. It allows me to charge my phones and other devices without tapping into the house, electricity during the heat of the day when the electricity is the most expensive. I have a rechargeable fan and even a travelissimo food warmer that I can plug into it if I’m heating a can of soup or something simple for lunch.

When I do recharge it, it only takes an hour or so. I do have solar panels for Emergency purposes and camping.

I have a smaller Jackery as well. It was not strong enough to use my hot pot when I went camping this summer. I did not want to have to light a fire just to heat water. This Jackery does work with my hot pot, so next time I go camping it will be handy for several different things.

This was a great deal on sale so I bought it. Almost too good to be true when compared with similar capacity units. I noted one review saying the actual capacity was not as advertised (2kwh), so this was to be my first test.

I used my “Kill-A-Watt”, which measures power draw. As you can see from the picture, it’s as advertised. I plugged the killawatt into the unit, then a space heater (because they draw a lot of power) into the killawatt. .89kwh drawn and 53% of the battery left on the Jackery. It’s not perfectly 2kwh, but close enough for me. There’s always loss involved with any power devices and I consider this to be within an acceptable range. Conclusion – the device provides the advertised capacity and it’s a great deal on sale.

My experience with several of the Jackery Explorer units over the past several years was a big part of the reason that I chose the E2000 V2. The Jackery Explorer 1000 will run most of the kitchen appliances and the Explorer 2000 V2 will run all of them including Space heaters and hair dryers. The fast charging of the E2000 V2 was another of my reasons for my purchase of a larger Jackery. Fortunately most of our power outages are only a few hours long and the Christmas outages were brief but they came at a very inconvenient time for us.

On Christmas day I had a full house of family, then came the storm that took out the power. Christmas day and the next day Jackery Explorers provided the power we needed to have a great Christmas. The presents included a Explorer 1000 with solar panel and a Explorer 290 with solar panel to one of our daughters. This year the rest of our extended family enjoys the benefits of having a Jackery Explorer unit.

This year we have had several strong winter storms that have caused power outages and even rolling blackouts. The Explorer 300 was used to charge cell phones and table lamps while the Explorer 1000 was used to power my deep freezer. I connected another Explorer 1000 to my refrigerator. The Explorer 2000 V2 was pressed into service for the microwave, toaster oven and a dual eye hot plate. A 4 year old Explorer 500 also helped with lights and USB devices.

After the utility power returned, the Jackery Explorer units were recharged with the Explorer 2000 V2 being the first one finished. Utility power was used because it was heavy overcast with cold strong winds. Just not a very good day for solar and we did not know when the next blackout would happen. We also had rolling blackouts in my area during the Christmas storm two years ago and the Jackery equipment was really useful. I am expecting more of the power outages due to the increased power demand on some of the very cold days this winter and some of the hottest days next summer. If we have more rolling blackouts the quick charging of the E2000 V2 will really be useful.

One of the reasons that I chose the Jackery Explorer line is that they are reliable self contained units and do not require other equipment to operate. Some of the competition requires smart phones with special applications to use all of the features. If you have a wide area power outage it is better to have each piece of your emergency equipment able to stand alone.

If you live in a area where power interruptions happen, then you will find that a Jackery Explorer 2000 V2 will just make things a lot better for your family.

This is absolutely amazing .. I use it for local power outage .. I am in a location that requires me to pump all house waste water into the city sewer .. with more frequent outages I decided to invest in a Jackery this year .. I am so happy I did .. It is more than sufficient to run the pump as needed.. connect wifi .. I can run my sewing machine, lights, the kettle .. and I purchased an electric blanket to keep warm as furnace adaptation is a bit costly. This Jackery will cover me for days if need be .. most outages are resolved within 12 hours .. I’m so happy with this… no fuel needed generator .. if you live in an apartment, condo, or just don’t want to mess with fuel and cords through a window .. this is a great solution .
