LOADS OF FAULTS!!!! ALLPOWERS R600 | HONEST REVIEW | CARP FISHING 2024

[@jason2e1hko59]

I’ve had mine 3 months and now it charges saying 100% after 4 mins on the mains. Discharges too quick battery doesn’t hold charge. Sending mine back. Great review BTW👍

[@tommycarping]

Mine was full of issues mate terrible piece of equipment. Thanks mate appreciate it 😁👍 what will you buy instead?

[@jason2e1hko59]

Id look at the brand Jackery instead.

[@danzuelch]

Thanks for the honest review. Looks like Allpowers R600 V2.0 needs some work for sure.

[@tommycarping]

Definitely needs some work mate

[@ukcbtv]

Looks like you got a proper duffer there but, having said that, I'm not particularly impressed so far with the one I bought (I think it was £190 in a sale). It was cutting out for no reason which was fixed by running it flat a couple of times, then given a full recharge and now it works OK at home. However, I don't need it for home, I need it for car camping and last night it dropped out on a cold night after 6 hours despite the display saying 16 hours remaining. As for running hobs, kettles and fridges etc., it may well do for a VERY short period of time - for me, it's looking Ok for charging a few phones etc. on a warm weather overnighter or a family picnic day out. Appeciate your honesty in this video and it would be a shame if some of the other reviews out there are favourable because the unit has only been tested for a few minutes directly out of the box, or positive reviews have been given in exhange for a freebie - as you say, folks pay good money for stuff they see reviewed on KZbin and these reviews should be honest whether the item has been given free to the reviewer or not. All the best.

[@tommycarping]

Hi mate thankyou for the comment and sharing your experience. Yeah mine did the same dropped from 70% to 0% its terrible. I am so dissapointed with it and could not possibly recommend it to anyone. Yeah same, but for a short day out or overnighter might as well just buy a power bank. Thanks, I try to be as honest as possible as I wouldn't want people who watch my videos to buy one of these and it to turn out to be terrible.

[@tommycarping]

@Real_serdique its already gone mate

[@tommycarping]

@@Real_serdique no it got sent back

[@tommycarping]

@Real_serdique mate I sent one back so they would send me another. I did the review then gave it away because I didn't like it.

[@paulmichelleontourfishing2106]

Well done for a genuine review unlike most on here that say they are the best because they got it for free i watch alot of camper biuld vids and dont belive a word they say on reviews hopefully the next one will be more use looking forward to your next vid👍

[@tommycarping]

Thankyou. My integrity won't let me do a good review on an inferior product, imagine spending £340 on it and it being like that. Even receiving it for free I know others going to spend their money on it. Thankyou, yeah hopefully the replacement they send will be a bit better but have ordered an Outlaw Pro Power Bank 72000mAH one to get me by just in case as a backup. Thanks so much for the support 🫡😁👍

[@HoneyandMe]

I was also sent this unit to review. At first it did a great job of recharging. Even used it to power a small portable washing machine at our cabin! Did great! Then, it stopped recharging. We took it down to completely discharged as suggested in another channel's video. No luck. I have been given 3 Allpowers batteries as well as several of their solar panels. This is the only one to have issues. I have a request in for a replacement and will be taking down my review video if they don't make it right.

[@tommycarping]

I got sent a second unit and was still the same. Had same issues as the first. It is terrible

[@HoneyandMe]

Good to know. Waiting to hear from Allpowers still.

[@tommycarping]

@HoneyandMe they emailed me today asking if I've published a review yet I don't think they're very organised 😂😂😂

[@northerngirlhobbies]

Mine has an issue with the wireless charging on the top and the 2 USB ports. I contacted the rep and she's going to be sending a new one. Hopefully it doesn't have more issues, like this one that you received.

[@tommycarping]

Mate I had 2 they were both riddled with issues

[@northerngirlhobbies]

@@tommycarping maybe I should just keep this one. Ugggg

[@colinwright84]

Don't sound great, I use fox halo its been pukka no issues what so ever. Had it maybe 3 years.

[@peterking3202]

Bought one second hand. ( with solar panels) ..opps!..but only a few months old. Worked ok for a while , wireless never worked...then suddenly wouldn't turn on. Contacted allpowers who told me how to rest it...but still didn't work. Local repair guy said it was the BMS ..lI said he could keep it !

[@tommycarping]

They are terrible mate full of issues. I have got just an outlaw pro power pack now and that has been great

[@BivvyLife]

That's poor that pal. You've obviously got a duffer there, it'll be interesting to see what the replacement is like. Mine is working a treat after the first teething problems of reset and discharge.

[@tommycarping]

Yeah, have had a nightmare with it. Nothing but issues to be fair. Hopefully the replacement is better but only time will tell.

[@MrPstory]

Good video, been waiting for your review on this! There’s a lot of videos on KZbin saying how great the unit is! Glad to see some issues, be nice to hear what Allpowers say or do! Also glad this video came out before purchasing the same set up. Like yourself wanted it for France for a weeks fishing.

[@tommycarping]

Thanks. Thats what I was trying to achieve making people aware before they spend their hard earned cash mate 😁

[@MrPstory]

@@tommycarping wonder what they are going to do with the issues?

[@tommycarping]

Not sure mate. Hopefully sort them out by changing the software in the box and making it work properly. Or they wont fix them and just keep selling lol

[@jackspratt4343]

Only just got one, and within a few uses , when I pulled out the plug of my appliance, a bit of the device came out attached to it, leaving a square hole with a live circuit board unsecured behind it. This makes re-attaching the plastic plug square really difficult as you can't line it up with the power circuit board. THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. IT'S THE SAME AS PLAYING WITH A MAINS SOCKET AT HOME,

[@MrPstory]

Last night another guy put a video on saying he had to discharge his unit fully before it would recharge. The solar panel needed full sunlight as well.

[@tommycarping]

I tried that two or three times discharging it mate. Unit is full of loads of faults.

[@thecarpcatcatcher]

I got one in the black Friday sale, a different model, but same stuff on it. I've had no problems with the one I got. However, I have read loads of reviews saying there's different faults, eg wireless charger doesn't work on most of them.

[@tommycarping]

Mate as soon as it goes in the plug the battery overheats on a E207 fault within minutes even on the replacement that they have sent me lol. I will take it to france but ive bought a powerbank as a backup

[@thecarpcatcatcher]

@@tommycarping good luck in France pal.

[@tommycarping]

Thanks mate not going until end of march. Got a few other venues coming up first 😁

[@candro5510]

Check this too kzbin.info/www/bejne/h32keImmoqeCl6s . I have issues while charging the Allpowers R600 and, in the same time using AC or DC to charge, in turn, my phone.

[@tommycarping]

Theyre terrible mate they are. Sent it back and the second one is the same

[@vimaro16]

all he said is true, i have one 2 times use and started an e210 error and does not work

[@tommycarping]

Theyre terrible arent they mate

[@Paul-it2gu]

I had the R600 but had charging problems so sent it back and they replaced it with another and guess what, I had exactly the same problem with the same fault code. The customer service was spot on but the product is crap. Sticking with ecoflow.

[@tommycarping]

I have sent mine back mate, but will see what happens with the new one. The mrs has just messaged me saying its arrived so will give it a provisional test tonight. Have ordered an Outlaw Pro 72000mAH Powerbank for now to tide me over. Are Ecoflow decent?

[@Paul-it2gu]

I've got the ecoflow river 300w and I've not had any problems with it, in fact I'm going to get the river 2 pro as I want a bigger unit. Ecoflow are more expensive than Allpowers but you get what you pay for.​@@tommycarping

[@jansweeney1333]

Hi, just seen your review ; I very much got the same probs with my brand new R600 Allpowers …. Can I ask how this played out did you get replacement or money back?? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿jan

[@tommycarping]

I sent them both back as they were faulty. They sent them me to review so I didn't pay any money luckily

[@jansweeney1333]

@ is the R600 Allpower working now, i seen you went camping & it just went blank!!

[@adewalker-sr4wj]

another great review tommy....but i dont think ill be investing in the allpowers r600.....i'll stick with my energizer 😁👍👍

[@Nick-pk3tl]

I had the same problems with my one.. sent it straight back via Ebay. Seller had poor communication and tried to swap it.. I eventually got my money back.. won't purchase anything similar from allpowers again

[@tommycarping]

I've had 2 now mate and they've both been terrible. They are aware of the issue but I honestly believe they just dont care.

[@StephenHartleyBrundrett]

Ive been well & Truly stitched up by All powers both my units r600 & r1500 are dreadful & a total waste of £1,000 their absolutely full of bugs problems issues i can't believe it my ecoflow river 2 pro is my best unit as i can't charge the all powers they just refuse to charge

[@tommycarping]

Mate they are terrible. They sent me 2 to try and they were both faulty. Hence the no nonsense review. I did look at an ecoflow but for now I've got a power pack I'm using

[@TrevTurner]

My wife bought this package for my son and i for fishing nothing but problems from the moment it arrived to start it wouldnt turn on plug it in to charge and kept cutting out it came at 70% charge managed to get it to 88% by having to remove ac charge lead 6 or 7 times left turned off over night next morning 0% charge managed to fully charge thought i would put a load on it so plugged chiller box in the cig lighter within 30 mins had gone down to 55% then i couldnt get it to charge again kept showing fault E207 which is not in hand book Allpowers are aware of fault in the end had enough and sent it back for full refund even that was hard work DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT there are far better ones out there its a cheap Chinese unreliable unit sorry its long winded but think its fair to let everyone know everthing that happened in this review happened to me

[@TrevTurner]

you cant be far from me i fish welford

[@tommycarping]

Hi Trev, Thanks for sharing your experience with me. I'm glad it isn't just me that has had this, makes me feel better giving them a bad review. I have been in touch with allpowers and they are going to send me another unit but have bought a big Outlaw pro powerbank just in case. What unit did you go with to replace it in the end?

[@tommycarping]

I'm from Birmingham mate, near Oldbury (J2 of M5) but I like to go to lakes all over the place

[@TrevTurner]

i didnt i built our own power banks last year so i upgraded mine to have 2 15amp/hr batteries and a coupe of 200 watt pocket power banks which should be fine i dont go to France and on average only do 72hr at a time also its only phone and vape maybe a couple of led lights i need to charge but i did think with the r600 and solar panel in summer i maybe able to have chiller box running @@tommycarping

[@TrevTurner]

i didnt mate upgraded my homemade power bank in a bait bucket plus a couple of 200 watt pocket power banks only do max 72 hr sessions and only in the uk so i should be fine@@tommycarping

[@AaronCarpAngler-UK]

Great video pal

[@tommycarping]

Thanks mate

[@christopherjones-vt5be]

Make ya own out of scooter batteries last two week solid

[@tommycarping]

I got one mate with one battery in it. DIY video coming soon 😁👍

[@paul-sm3wh]

It’s a rip off version of the anker model that is amazing

[@tommycarping]

Definitely mate. They must had done hardly any testing and trials on it. Ive had 2 and theyve both packed up
