Works Really well with all items I tested it on. The 1500W rating is true and had no issues running 1500W appliances when testing it. Can run refrigerator on it as well and it can handle compressor peak startup without any issues.It is a good size for the weight and what our rating. Good features and great lithium iron phosphate / LiFePO4 battery for hopefully having good future extended life cycle.Good app to manage the features. Only downside with the app is that you need to register ahead of time to mange / use this unit. If you are going off-grid then plan to use the app to manage the unit then it will not connect.Also, if you update the app make sure to get into your account before you go off-grid. After app update, it will ask you to log back in. If you are of-grid , you are out of luck.I sent a request to Jackery to allow users to mange the unit without requiring app login on Android. Hope they implement this feature

Charges extremely fast. Bluetooth feature is great to remotely check data. I used it for camping and was able to charge multiple phones, recharge a fan and run my CPAP machine for 3 days and 2 nights and still have almost 40% battery remailing. Build quality seems on par. Weight was expected but more than manageable. Very forward and common sense for ease of use. After initial charge we were able to turn on and use right away.

Awesome and very easy to use. You can keep your phone, laptop and other devices charged, run small appliances like microwaves, coffee makers etc for a few days on a single charge. If you camp or do over nights on a boat this is perfect and you won't need to run your boat batteries down. Save your money on the solar panel and use a small gas generator to charge it back up off the grid. Why not just use a gas powered generator? The jackery is quiet and you don't have to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning while you're sleeping! We also plan on keeping it charged for back up power at home. Great buy!

Many of you are probably like me having a tough time deciding between Delta 2 or Explorer 1000v2. The 2 are almost identical in all aspects. Both Ecoflow and Jackery are good brands, and you can expect good build quality and reliability. Seems that the Explorer is always priced at $50 below the Delta 2. At the end, I picked the Explorer. The rationale was simple. I could not find any justification to spend $50 more for the Delta 2. On Black Friday, net price for Explorer was $349, which was a no brainer. For reference I paid $400 for the Ecoflow River 2 Pro 8 months ago.I use these power stations primarily during power outage. If you run them 24/7, your buying decision may be different. Expandability is not a factor for me (the add-on batteries are never cheap anyway), nor is solar charging. I deploy the power stations distributively wherever power is needed, rather than building them into a centralized power source.Here are the main differences between the Explorer and the Delta 2 that I considered.- The Explorer is $50 cheaper ($349 vs $399 on Black Friday)- The Explorer has a good LED lamp which is handy during power outage.- The Explorer has bigger capacity (1070Wh vs 1024)- The Explorer is 3 lbs lighter. To me, anything over 25lb is only marginally portable.- The Explorer lacks 12vdc barrel plug ports which Ecoflow has. You will need an adapter to draw 12vdc from the Explorer's cigarette socket.- The solar port on the Explorer not as common as that on the Delta 2.- The AC sockets are upfront on Explorer whereas Delta's are in the back. I prefer them to be upfront. I see no advantage of them in the back, except maybe it looks neater to have the cables in the back if you have a semi-permanent installation. Definitely better to have them upfront for emergency use.On charging.When I first got my Explorer, it was 80% charged. And it seemed stuck at a very slow charging rate of about 300W. Installing the mobile app and selecting the "emergency boost mode" made no difference while selecting the slower quiet mode actually made it charge faster. I thought I had a defective unit for sure. But after draining the battery, the battery then charged between 600 to 800W most of the time at the default fast mode until near the top-off stage. Hitting the boost mode did take it up to 1000W level. Even quiet mode got over 300W. I am convinced that the unit can be fully charged using the default fast mode in well under 2 hours, and that is good enough for me. Even at the default fast mode, it was much quieter than my Ecoflow River 2 pro. The quiet mode does bring down the noise to an unobtrusive level.The inverter on the Explorer seems excellent. The ac output was very steady at 120V, never dropping below 119V on 100W draw.Somehow the Explorer feels less beefy and solid than the Ecoflow, perhaps because of its hinged handle? It is nonetheless rugged enough that I have no concern.At the end, I got $50(+tax) more in my pocket. It's hard to argue with that.
