I have several Jackery products and this one is my newest. Have had a chance to use it camping where it has powered my portable fridge and diesel heater and it has Worked really well. I recently used it during a random power outage to keep my home fridge running for 4 hours (when the power came back on). After nearly four hours the unit still had 80% power remaining. It should be noted that Jackery changed the charging ports design slightly from the last generation of solar generators and my older solar saga 100w panels would not pair with the unit to charge it. After reading through the manual and speaking to tech support, I ordered the small adapter plug and a new 12v vehicle plug and that corrected the issue. I feel that those items should be included in the original kit at time of purchase. Really happy with the newer tech in the unit and its functionality. For its capabilities, its not too heavy and packs easy into my vehicle without taking up needed space. Will be purchasing more Jackery equipment in the future.

This was newly purchased, so I can't speak to longevity, but that's rarely an issue with battery-based generators (unless the battery is bad). I have a nice 3500W gasoline-powered generator, but it's an effort to set up - and one of the issues I have is a garage that ONLY has a powered overhead door and no other entry and the former owner lost the key long ago (and she said the key didn't work anyway). So on a power failure - how to get the door up? I can open a window from one bedroom into the garage, but it's a 6' drop to the floor and at 78, I'm getting a bit old to climb through a small window to do that! This generator operated FLAWLESSLY - I ran an extension cord to the outlet that the overhead door was plugged into, turned off the 40amp garage breaker in the house (in case power got restored - don't want to back-feed the generator!), and plugged a male-to-male extension (hard to buy now as idiots were electrocuting themselves with it, so you might have to make your own) into the extension cord and Jackery Generator. Hit the garage opener and Voila, door goes up and down easily - not seeming to even drain the battery much at all. This will be a life-saver for the next power outage, as if it's extended, I need to get OUT of the garage to go to town to get more gas for my gas-powered generator. And for SMALL outages, this little unit will keep WiFI, TV, some lights going with minimal effort - and might even keep my Fridge going for several hours too. And I will bring this with me when I go boondocking in my little camper - especially since I have a 100W solar panel that should be able to charge this battery up!

I recently picked up the Jackery 1000 with solar panels, and I couldn’t be more impressed. This portable power station is a game-changer for anyone who loves the outdoors or wants peace of mind during power outages. With a 1002Wh capacity and 1000W output (2000W surge), it easily powers everything from my coffee maker to my laptop and even a mini fridge.What really sets it apart is the solar charging capability. The SolarSaga 200 panels are lightweight, foldable, and surprisingly efficient—even on partly cloudy days. I was able to fully recharge the unit in under 5 hours with optimal sunlight, which is perfect for off-grid adventures.The design is sleek and intuitive. The LCD screen gives clear readouts, and the multiple output ports (USB-C, USB-A, AC, and 12V car port) make it incredibly versatile. I also love the built-in flashlight and the UPS mode, which keeps my devices running seamlessly during outages.Whether you're camping, tailgating, or just want a reliable backup at home, the Jackery 1000 with solar panels delivers clean, quiet, and dependable energy. It’s an investment that pays off every time the lights go out—or when the trail calls.

This product was on sale for Memorial Day weekend and was a great buy for 2 reasons. 1) to be used as a replacement/primary generator instead of our gas one and 2) for camping to be used for my CPAP mini which was a must especially camping with other families/friends. This works well with the CPAP Mini. It took about ~10-12% power per night. The unit charge up fast with an OEM 100w solar panel and charged up the walkie talkies, phones, etc. No issues and is great for general outings with friends/family at the local parks, beaches, etc. I have not used it yet for an outage or running an xbox, etc. but I'm sure it would do fine.

UPDATED REVIEW 6-8-25This Generator is very nice over all. It is lighter than most with the same power output. The features are great with the light and many inputs and outputs. Also this unit has a battery type that will outlast many competitors out there. As with all of these generators of this type that put out a nice clean Sine wave that protects valuable electronics you will see some extra capacity loss when outputting AC Power. When the AC switch is pushed on and the light comes on even with nothing pluged in it will give a loss to power capacity. You must acount for this capacity loss when estimating run time. 22% and higher capacitywill be lost runing an AC device pluged in to the AC outlet even if that device is turned off and the AC swithed on the Jackery is turned on. I updated my review after realizing that every one of these generators in the market do this.Works good. But if you turn on the 120 AC switch your Jackery will lose up to 47% of your battery in a 24 hour time period. And that is with nothing connected to it. The AC outlets use almost as much battery as what is plugged in to it. See for yourself. Turn on the power, then the AC Switch with nothing plugged in. Come back in 24 hours to see up to 47% of battery gone. With AC switch off you will have no battery power lost.
