[@spencermcfarlane2106]

thank you for your help!!!

[@HelenandDave]

You’re welcome, thank you very much for watching.

[@virginiawestcot3111]

You gave an excellent review of this power device. I have seen many of these used on several channels but none have given such a detailed explanation for their use. Thank you even a person with little or no knowledge of power packs can understand their use now. TY

[@HelenandDave]

Good morning Virginia, that’s very kind of you to say so and very much appreciate your support. I didn’t really understand them but they are very intuitive. Best wishes, Dave 👍

[@caahacky]

Very useful, thanks.

[@HelenandDave]

Thank you and thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Much appreciated, Helen & Dave

[@vecsy90]

Amazing review, thanks! How long would it take for the solar panel to recharge the battery?

[@HelenandDave]

Hi, there website states 3.5 hours with 200w solar panel. Thanks for watching 👍

[@The-Salty-Bager]

Great to see this reviewed and cope with a hair dryer, I ordered one just 2 days ago and waiting for it to arrive

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Mark, many thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I have to admit I was pretty impressed with it and it will certainly be joining us off grid in the future. Cheers, Helen & Dave

Looks a nice piece of kit does it charge off the car cigarette outlet think I'd definitely need it to. Nice presentation thanks.

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Greg, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Yes it can be charged from a car cigarette socket, solar and mains power. ATB, Dave

[@GaetanHobby]

Thank you for the review Dave 👍 I have been very busy lately watching all your old vidéos 😅😅 Your videos are very interesting especialy the vidéos about the campsite with the planes ( because we also like planes) and the vidéo about the thing we Never see ( when you come back home from caravaning) Keep the vidéos comming 🙏 Have à good sunday. 🥂 Gaëtan from France 😉🇨🇵

[@HelenandDave]

Good morning Gaetan, thank you so much The Willows by RAF Mildenhall is a favourite stop off because of the aeroplanes ✈️ and our grandchildren like to go so it’s normal for us to go 3 or 4 times a year. Glad you like the channel and we appreciate your support all the way from France. Have a great Sunday. Thanks Helen & Dave 👍

Morning Dave, Great review as always! We have just returned from a short break in Leicestershire on a fully serviced pitch CL site. Similar question to another on this thread, would be interested to see your action plan for when away this time of year with freezing temperatures outside and what precautions you take with water pipes/aqua roll etc? Not trying to give you more homework I promise 😏 Thanks as always for your time and effort 👌 Best wishes David & Rachel

[@HelenandDave]

Hi David & Rachel, that's a great idea and although we have a busy schedule we will do our best to fit something in along those lines soon. Hope you're both well and thanks for your support. Take care, Helen & Dave

[@twogotikitouring6940]

@@HelenandDave Thanks both - Completely understand and really do appreciate the time and work that you put in these excellent videos for the benefit of the community. Looking forward to our Christmas break in your neck of the woods at Colne CL near Holt. Happy caravaning! 🥂

Hi Dave, so using extension sockets doesn't drain it? Surely charging multiple devices off an extention multi socket lead, as well as using the other charge ports will run the battery down quick? As most multi charge sockets pull more than 3000w to work, how can the wattage on the power station remain so low?! Doesn't make sense to me... Mine is arriving today, so looking for as many energy efficient devices for it as possible.

[@HelenandDave]

Hi thanks for watching. The power used is only as much as the device you’re plugging in. 2 x 40w lamps will only draw 80watts max. The phones, laptops and similar devices only draw a few watts each even the average modern TV draws very little power. An 800w microwave draws 800w of power so that could be plugged into the power station. If you start plugging big items in then the power station will obviously drain quicker. We only want it for charging up phones or watching TV off grid/lights etc and the power station is ideal for us. No problem with extension sockets just don’t plug big devices in as described above 👍Good luck and thanks again, Dave

[@andobreslin8735]

​​@@HelenandDaveHi Dave, thanks for the reply and info. I'm aiming to use low wattage devices that sit under or at least near the 800w threshold. That should be fine then shouldn't it. There's a 700w pressure cooker I'm looking at getting which sits nicely within that range. I presume it'll be power intensive for the power station, but if I manage it all evenly I think it'll be not much different than having a 2000w power station that's used casually without wattage caution.

[@HelenandDave]

@@andobreslin8735 I think that sounds like the right approach. Hope all goes well. Thanks Dave 👍

[@muddymarvellous]

Have you ever plugged into the side of the caravan as if you were on site electric. You could of course switch off charging the caravans own leisure battery by flipping off the fuse? Be good to hear from you

[@HelenandDave]

Funnily enough we’re going to try exactly that when we’re at an off grid rally in July. Great tip on flipping the charger fuse, hadn’t thought of that. Will feature this in a video later. Cheers, Helen & Dave

[@rusticwoody3312]

🎉Hi Dave thanks for review. We have been thinking of buying an Ecoflow Delta 2 just for running the microwave and low wattage kettle but this looks like a cheaper option. The microwave is 800 watt so that would be the most draw on the unit. Any thoughts?

[@HelenandDave]

Thanks for watching, I’m no power bank expert but have to say I was surprised by the AFERIY. I did watch a few other reviews on this one first and it seems it has a smart way of handling devices with a larger load. The hairdryer I tested was well over 800 watts. Do a bit more research but for the price, I think this will take some beating 👍 Cheers, Dave

[@lindadavid4724]

Great review on this product. We have just purchased one and it has arrived today. Can't wait to try it out 😊

[@HelenandDave]

Thank you very much, we think it’s a great little unit. 👍

[@planecrazyaviation7773]

Morning Dave, cracking discounts!! Heading over to Amazon now! Very surprised to see this unit coping with Helen’s powerful hairdryer. Thanks for the review 👍

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Steve, thanks for watching, this will certainly be going with us when we’re off grid! Cheers, Dave

[@margaretbegley9201]

Very good presentation. Its amazing how much profit these companies can be making for the other 11 months of the year! Not techno or gadget orientated, but always stay on grid, as I like all the creature comforts, guess I would be tempted to keep the money in the back pocket and just take a couple of well deserved breaks away. Keep warm😊

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Margaret, thank you very much for watching and leaving a fair and constructive comment. We know that these are not for everyone, but we have also been to a couple of rallies that have been off grid where we really enjoyed the atmosphere of the rally but were very concerned that we would run our batteries down too low. Also we could not watch TV, use a hairdryer or recharge some of our gadgets too easily and this is where this sort of power station comes into it's own we think. In terms of price, it really is an amazing discount that's available, possible in part because reaching the consumer via channels like ours is very cost effective for them but we have also noticed that some companies are offering big discounts too via the 'Black Friday' sales which seem to last weeks now! We love the creature comforts too, especially in the caravan lol. Thanks again for watching and supporting the channel, we really appreciate it. Take care, Helen & Dave

[@davidandrewstarbuck2151]

Pleasantly surprised by this power stations capability. 👍

[@HelenandDave]

Knockout!

[@juliangray744]

Hi Dave & Helen. Fantastic video as always, really enjoy watching your channel. As relative newbie’s we would love to see you give some advice on ‘winterising’ your caravan if you are not going to use it for a few months. Avoiding burst pipes, damp and looking after the battery etc. if you get the chance and feel so inclined we love to get some tips. Thanks Jules.

[@HelenandDave]

Great suggestion thanks! we have busy schedule but will do our best to fit this one in when we can. Glad you have found the channel useful and thank you so much for subscribing and supporting us, we really appreciate it. ATB, Helen & Dave

[@pijanysamuraj]

hey can this or P021 model be charged via solar and also with car inventer maybe?

[@HelenandDave]

Hi yes, both Solar and car via a a 12v lead to plug in car cigarette lighter as far as I am aware. Cheers 👍

[@pijanysamuraj]

@@HelenandDave I'm asking for an alternator itself not a cigarette port

[@HelenandDave]

@@pijanysamuraj check out their website, I honestly don't know about that. www.aferiy.com

[@mentalneil]

Hi H & D, great looking power unit, and wow what a price, definitely one to consider, thanks for a great review, Neil

[@HelenandDave]

Morning Neil, thanks as always. Powerful little unit. 👍 ATB, Helen & Dave 👍

[@HepcatHarley]

That's a great price for a power solution. I'm into the Ecoflow range at the moment with the River 2 Pro, 160w solar panel and Glacier freezer so I'm sticking with my set up but I'd definitely look at the Aferiy range if not. Great review Dave, normally I'd switch off or even unsubscribe from some annoying, immature and repetitive vloggers but you do it right and I don't mind watching at all, keep up the good work.....next you'll have a few dozen electric bikes to sell :D

[@HelenandDave]

Well thank goodness you haven’t unsubscribed. We need you (and your humour 😂👍). I’m not a techno kind of guy so just say it as I see it really. Must say though, the deal on this unit or package looks great and I was genuine impressed with it. Now about the e bikes 🚴 🙈. Let’s just say, we’re gonna need a bigger garage 😂😂👍 enjoy the rest of your weekend. Cheers, Dave 👍

[@1must723]

will it work a 700 w microwave ? thanks

[@HelenandDave]

I’m no expert but I’ve read this online which should give you an idea. ‘To calculate the wattage required, you can multiply the wattage rating of your microwave oven by 1.5. So, for example, if your microwave oven has a wattage rating of 1000 watts, you'll need a generator that can produce at least 1500 watts’

[@1must723]

@@HelenandDave ok i have one coming Wednesday then i will see think it will be to much for it thank you for the reply :-)
