The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

Great video as usual brother! I just want to say that couple weeks ago here in Texas, we were hit with a crazy snow Storm and had no power for a week. The Jackery 500 kept our electronics charged and we were able to use the power from the Jackery 500 to cook when we ran out of propane and charcoal burkettes on our grills. Also because of y'all's videos and y'all's use of the Jackery 500 , I found about Jackery. We were able to recharge the Jackery 500 while we were keeping warm in the car , like many Texan's were. Just wanna thank y'all for reviews and use of product's that work and in many cases can save ppls lives. I'm grateful to Jackery 500 for an amazing product and that I was able to take care of my family. 👍👍👍 Sorry for the long post😁

@@klw1463 It's two years later and we have two 500s coming (you can't hook the two together for power). I looked at various hotplates 500 (peeks to 1000), 1000 (out of the question - too many watts) so neither will work. I just looked at our tea kettle (electric) and the 500 is just too small. Video was great. It will recharge our cellphones and laptops. I think I'll be able to hook up a lamp with it. I purchased them because we have a friend who loves them and I looked at other generators and opted for jackery due to support reviews. With their recent sale, it made sense to go bigger than a 200.

[@davidmiracle398]

I''m 84 and don't travel much anymore, but.... I love Jackery. I have two 1000 wh power stations, a 160 wh, two Bluetti stations, a 2400 wh and a second newer Bluetti that has a 2000 watt inverter. The reason for such an array of power stations is because I live in a very remote section of the Southern California Mojave Desert where the power has a habit of going off every summer during the hottest periods. The temp. in my area during July and August is normally 110 each day and around 100 plus over night. With my numerous battery powered backups, I'm able to run a small through the wall A/C, and my small freezer and refrigerator during the normal fairly short blackouts. I also have two Jackery 100 watt folding solar panels for solar charging, which so far I've never needed to use. At my age these devices are a real blessing for me. They're safe, mostly noiseless, and even for a technological moron like me, simple to use. As a fall back, I also have a small Honda Inverter Generator for use in charging the power stations if the power ever goes off for many days.

[@321southtube]

......have you considered getting one generator that runs off NG or propane to fulfill all your needs and compliment it with a battery/solar setup? Most of these units are overpriced and portability is there only plus. Drop all your coin on a stationary system that functions on its own when needed.

I have never use one but have a family of 6 want to get what I need while it’s available.

[@puitekongstim]

Can you sold to me sir

[@mikeforester3963]

I do own the small 240Wh box + 100 W peak solar folding panel. I had it with me on camping trips, providing the little bit of power needed. But it truely held its own in recent repair works on my Subaru SG when it flawlessly provided stable electricity for my low-Watt-intake power tools to grind and clean up rust. That's the most significant feature of the Jackery boxes: stable sine output of AC power.

[@craigbrowning9448]

I've been using a 500W Jackery for busking with a Hammond Organ since the pandemic hit since all the clubs are closed. The Biggest issue I have but when you're using a solar panel to slow down the drain is that you get a false reading on the Display. Is shows a fluctuation between 99 and 100% when the power is actually much lower like around 50 or 60%. I had a couple of embarrassments with this until I figured out you need to reset the display to get a true reading of how much power you have.

[@stewshore5508]

Great review…I just received my Jackery 500, two week ago. Going camping with it next week. Used it on a motel trip with my daughter and we Plugged in all our devices for recharge overnight. In three days it only reduced the power level to 91%. Was not recharged for those 3 days.

[@softroadingthewest]

I don't know why I never thought of this. I'm constantly juggling USB ports. Somehow a splitter or hub of some sort never crossed my mind. :-)

[@JohnJohnCrusher]

Then you're splitting the meager amp output of one USB slot amongst several devices trying to be charged. Not ideal. Also if your fridge is constantly plugged into the 12v cigarette lighter output that's never available for a cigarette lighter USB charger. Jackery should just put 6 dedicated USB slots... For $500 they can include that. This is the age of USB powered devices after all

[@rickpeoples9597]

I had a dual battery setup in my truck, but when I switched to a 4runner I got a Jackery instead. I agree the flexibility of it makes the dual battery system unnecessary (not to mention more expensive and difficult to install). We lost power during one of the winter storms here in Oregon and used the Jackery to run a few devices in the house - couldn't do that with a dual battery system. Finally, when I sold the truck I removed the dual battery system - I don't want to be responsible for any misuse by the next owner. Not an easy system to install or remove. The Jackery just pick it up and put it in the new rig. Good review -- I tuned in for one you did a while back before buying my Jackery and glad I did.

[@softroadingthewest]

I'm pretty sure the newer Jackery units don't have this issue. My 500 is an older design. The 300 appears to be a fabulous little device. My friend Jason (Primal Outdoors) uses his 300 probably more than any of his other Jackery units.

@@softroadingthewest What newer version are you talking about? The 1000 or do they make newer version of the 500? The shut-off overtime will definitely be a factor to think about when buying.

[@softroadingthewest]

I meant newer models like the 300 or the 1000. Those units came out after the 500. I presume the 500 for sale now is the same as my 500. The shut down is not a huge issue as long as you're aware of it. It only happens on freezing cold nights, which means the food in the fridge is staying cold enough anyway. I just need to make sure it's actually running before I start driving and have the heat going in the car. Any night that's anywhere near warm enough to endanger the food, the fridge ends up cycling on at least few times and keeps the Jackery awake through the night. What I've started doing lately on freezing cold nights is just move the Jackery from the car to my tent at bedtime, because I know food will stay safely cold even if the fridge is unplugged, and then while I sleep I can be actively charging my phone, ipad, etc, which die much faster on those cold nights. In the morning, the Jackery goes back into the car, gets turned on, and stays awake all day with the fridge plugged in.

This is a very honest appraisal of the Jackery500 and power stations in general. My biggest gripe with the Jackery is the DC Output jack size which are not used by anyone else and almost impossible to find and NONE that will match the 7A DC output of the Jackery. I wish these manufactures would use a common high-capacity connector such as the Anderson or XT60 instead and let the cigarette lighter adapter slip into history. Total replacement second battery in vehicle and with a jump brick this pretty much guarantees you won't be left stranded. Not mentioned but I use this when working on household electrical to provide work lighting while the power is off. Lots of potential applications.

Funny that you mention the "2 battery" idea, I use my Jackery 500 primarily to recharge my single Group 27 house battery through a connector with male cigarette plugs on each end that I use to trickle charge my house battery from my Jackery while the trailer is on a storage lot without 120v access. It's a Casita, battery access is a pain, trust me. I also have taken it with me while camping in a COE park where a storm knocked out 120v hookups. I dug out the 12v TV cables, plugged in the Jackery as usual to keep the volt/amps up for the reefer, TV and to augment the house battery and all was golden. I didn't have to run the heater (gotta down bag to throw on the bed) even though it was October, I was happy even as everyone else packed up and left. Can't knock it if it works. Be safe!

I definitely love the ease of using my Jackeries though. Good luck with the van, have fun & stay safe! :-)

[@StealthGTI]

I tested my new Jackery 500 recently to see how long it would power my Dometic CFX3-35. As you said, it's cold outside. I had my setup in the garage. It went for four days, often with the refrigerator temps below what I had set. That's not a realistic test of endurance since the cold garage was helping the fridge. BUT my Jackery did not shut down due to low output. So, that's promising. I will be taking my Jackery and CFX3-35 on a three-week, 6500-mile road trip soon. The fridge will not see household power the entire time. I will charge the Jackery from the car while I drive. I have no concerns about the Jackery lasting on this trip, even if the car is parked for a weekend. I may even use the Jackery to charge my trailer's 32-Ah battery since I don't have solar and the trailer's wiring harness drops too much voltage to charge from the car. Nice work on your review!

[@softroadingthewest]

I wonder if this has been addressed in newer units. I was totally puzzled a couple of mornings during my November overland trek with primal_outdoors when I found the Jackery was off and the fridge was getting no power, but Jason was the one to point out that it was because the fridge simply wasn't drawing power frequently enough during those cold nights. Not too big a deal, I finally learned to just check it first thing each morning, and in those conditions it's not like the food is going to go bad if the fridge is off for a few hours before sunrise. I just have to remember to check it. :-)

My concern is the 500 cycle spec that drops you to 80% capacity. I'd like for something like this to have a ten year life span. A competitor advertises 1000 cycles, but I'm sceptical of their claim, the competitor probably uses the same battery and has optimistic marketing. Impressed and enjoyed your review. I put together a DIY AGM battery backup system for $500 that I estimate at 600 watt-hours. The battery alone weighs 75 lbs. Definitely not something I can easily lug along camping like I could a Jackery or a EcoFlow. So that's why I'm researching these lithium portables.

[@cali13guy]

That is 500 full cycles, if only go down to 50%, then back to 100% - that is only half a cycle. Yes, 13lbs is much more portable and convenient than 75 lbs. There is an 80 discount code - so can pick up for 419 right now.

i really like your videos. this one made me a subscriber. Your opinion is honest and what i’m looking for. keep up the great work.

Great going to buy the 500Watt planning two run two freezers and my Inernet during any power cuts, not had any in years but the way things are going might this year.

After watching this video I went on their website and bought the Jackery 500 to power my cpap machine

[@greenapron1]

Do you think it could run two cpaps at the same time?

[@therussmccurdy2602]

Maybe the Jackery 1000 can, but other than that I can only guess.

[@greenapron1]

@@therussmccurdy2602 thank you!

[@cali13guy]

​@@greenapron1 If they are using DC maybe, but would prolly need to figure out cabling to the 2x 6.5mm DC outputs. As, only 1 car output. Powering them by AC generally uses more power - so won't last as long.

Thats a very neat review man, appreciate your sincerity, thanks!

[@binhn7448]

Informative video!

[@photodoc100]

Mate,that was one clear information you tube video. 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@Carlos-jh5tb]

My solution was the acopower lioncooler. Has a battery built in thats swappable. Less money then a fridge and jacket. And no dorky cords.

[@nancye2963]

I would like at least the 500. I’m still saving. Chrome said you needed subscribers you got it

[@brads.3674]

Excellent! Thanks. Safe travels.

[@prepperjonpnw6482]

Great review and video as always. I like that your videos aren’t full of over produced nonsense and fancy editing tricks. Just real footage of you doing the same things that I love doing. Stay safe out there and cheers from southern/central Oregon. Maybe we will bump into each other one of these days lol Cheers mate

For Southern California residents SCE is giving rebates up to $50 for its customers that buy portable power generators

[@John-jd8vx]

Fantastic review. So helpful. Thank you.

[@stephenhogg6154]

It never ceases to amaze me that fully charged this holds around 12 cents worth of electricity.

[@charliewilson4670]

Was look at buying a 500 jackery and watching this video definitely going for the 500 jackery it look just the job 👍

[@jonathanvazquez3446]

You can probably get a Bluetooth outlet timer where you can set a schedule on your phone to switch the outlet on for your fridge in the morning

[@randycupit6003]

Have jackery 550 100 watt solar panel keep phone charge ,refrigerator going lights led going,enjoy jackery 550 refrigerator runs all day keep ice frozen ice cream hard great little power box worth cost

[@meandercat7992]

You can deactivate auto shut off feature on other brands. My Energizer unit can turn on and off the "auto shut off" so my fridge stays on continuously.

[@drewpaterson502]

Great info, thank you!

[@i-yangh1384]

I believe the that handle bar design is meant to stop people from stacking stuff on it...

[@valdius85]

I wished Makita offered something similar using their 40V bettery system. Ryobi has that already.

[@twagn]

Need the right fridge

[@taco472]

Thank you Lucie 🎵🎶🎵🎶..................................................................................Lol

[@DrJohn493]

Went with the 500 plus 90w solar panel over the dual battery set up for all the reasons you cited.

[@deanc.5984]

Westinghouse igen300, 300watts for $190!! Affordable with more features👍
