[@twloughlin]

The large Pecron is the one I am most interested in. I think it will be best bang for the buck for RV and small off-grid use.

[@DeFiDuke]

looks like vaporware, the oupes is available now..

[@mas921]

ac180t and their fridge is the most exciting. I love hot swappable batteries!!

[@JohnSmith-wt3mw]

They didn't show how they charge. Swappable is useless if they can't be charged by any other means than by the unit its powering.

[@Jasonoid]

I like the design of those swappable batteries. They do have plans to have a 'charging' dock so you can charge them on their own.

[@CityPrepping]

Great hanging out with you there!

[@Jasonoid]

Likewise!

[@JamesAmbrose48]

I really like what Bluetti is doing with removable battery cartridges. It makes it much more versatile because you don’t have to run PV lines to it, just remove a battery and charge it wherever you like.

[@gary860]

I didn’t see any way to charge the removable battery except by putting in back in the solar generator. It would be a game changer if you could just charge the battery with an AC plug.

[@grindychum]

The only way to charge the battery is inserted in a power station - this is a massive over site by bluetti.kind of a moot point to buy 2 sets of batterys.

[@JamesAmbrose48]

@@grindychum it is. I hope they’re paying attention to this feedback.

[@JohnSmith-wt3mw]

​@grindychum don't worry... I'm sure they have a dock to sell you to charge those batteries.🤣

[@Jasonoid]

They will have a future 'charging' dock that will allow charging of the batteries on their own.

[@StevefromOhio1972]

Hi Jason, Thank you for showing us all the new stuff coming for 2024 from the CES show. I would feel like a kid in a candy store there. The Yoshino power station is interesting because of the solid state batteries. It's nice they take your feedback to make their products better. Bluetti also has some interesting offerings as does Goal Zero. The Pecron E3600LFP is also very nice, looks to compete with the Oupes Mega 3. The Jackery solar cart looks interesting, would like to know more about those solar panels. Take care, Steve.

[@KatysCampKitchen]

Fantastic Walk through! Wow - Where to begin..... I hope you get some of the EF hard panels to test and the wall mount battery. Such an exciting year ahead. So much great stuff here that I needed to watch it twice! Thanks for taking the time and effort to video all these great items!!!

[@Jasonoid]

It's a great time at CES seeing all the new tech being released. Thanks for checking out the video, Katy!

[@OzSteve]

Awesome, thanks for the tour. I'm a Bluetti fanboy but I hate the orange on the 'premium' line lol Can't wait to see you putting some of these through their paces

[@Jasonoid]

Interesting change up for sure! I guess they wanted to look like another popular brand! 🤔

[@michaelmartin9022]

Yeah they could have replaced that orange with more of a lighter, maybe slightly metallic, blue on the fascia.

[@andrewvillavicencio8496]

Awesome, thanks! I really find the Yoshino Solid state fascinating! I bought the Anker F3800 during their kickstarter but solid state and higher cycle times is awesome! Thanks for sharing :-)

[@Jasonoid]

I'll be testing the F3800 soon

[@michaelmartin9022]

I found an anker store in Osaka Station randomly the other day, I was surprised how "small" the F3800 is! I thought it'd be like a filing cabinet.

[@kevinholland4156]

I liked that Bluetti refrigerator. That looks pretty cool. It seems like the bigger units are aimed at the home consumer who has the power companies with a variable charge rate. The Ultra would need a very large solar panel array to keep it charged up as would most of the larger units.

[@Jasonoid]

I would love to test out that fridge. I'll have to see if I can get my hands on one as it gets warmer in the spring.

[@theodoredesmarais4219]

Ever lived with one ? I have and dual zone is essential, and many far better low cost available. By the way avoid the LG compressors , class action suit coming as they fail in a year or two.

[@grandpa2159]

Yoshino and Anker F3800 please. 240V split phase is a new gold standard. No more purchase of 2 units required!

[@JohnSmith-wt3mw]

The ecoflow ultra does 240v as well

[@Jasonoid]

It's exciting to see these units that can support 120v and 240v.

[@todd.parker]

Awesome overview of all the new stuff coming out. Impressive!

[@user82938]

Delta Pro Ultra still seems like the best option when you look at form factor, solar input, 240 output. I can't believe Bluetti didn't improve their massive connecting cords.

[@Jasonoid]

The Ultra is such an engineering masterpiece! It's so quiet and compact compared to other offerings. As for Bluetti, I wish they would put some decent engineering into the connecting cables! No one wants 4 ft long cables that just stick out everywhere!

[@michaelmartin9022]

Don't know why they aren't already selling sets of short, flat cabled with 90-degree plugs. The longer ones give you "more options" than just stacking the inverter on top of the battery, I suppose. But what if we do want to only stack?

[@lisahurst1940]

Awesome review! Thanks for sharing the good stuff!

Thanks Jason, I like the look of Bluetti's AC240 product and the Anker products. Pecron also looks like something I would like to watch you review.

[@Jasonoid]

Thanks for the feedback, good to know!

AC240 seems really strange having only two normal plugs!

[@jamespruett2849]

I'm interested in Bluetti switchable batteries as well my power tools have switchable batteries and really convenient

[@hitsonthehill]

Jason, thank you so much for sharing all this great, much needed information. 😊

[@Jasonoid]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Ryan-yi6su]

Oh this is very cool but just like that Saturday night Live episode where as soon as you buy something and you walk out the door a new one comes out that is twice as efficient. So when is the best time to buy?? And when they come up with new models they'll come up with different plugs so you won't be able to use your older stuff with the newer stuff. It's hard to figure out where to start!

[@DoritosResidue]

Wow jackery and goal zero hasn't come to mind in a long time. They have an awesome line this year.

[@Jasonoid]

I thought that roof top tent was pretty interesting from Jackery! I'm not sure if it's a real product or not since they also had the mars rover LOL...

[@DoritosResidue]

@@Jasonoid yeah probably not that weight of that thing would cave in your roof if the wind doesn't take it first lol. But man glad to see Jackery and Goal Zero being innovative again.

[@jessstone7486]

Wish I could have gone to this event, would have loved to see each of these and talk to the reps. Yoshino interests me; is solid state the 'wave of the future' or is that hype? from what I've read it looks to be worth considering. I haven't pulled the trigger on any unit yet as I'm still in an apt., so continuing to read and try to figure out which way to go. Thanks for this info!

[@colliscox481]

Thanks Jason, was great to see the new options for this year, I too am keen to see what the Pecron E3600LFP will cost and can do.

[@sevenravens]

Exactly what I was looking for; upcoming unannounced models from bluetti 🔥👍 thanks!

[@Jasonoid]

I'm trying to get my hands on the AC240 soon!

[@MikeH-sg2ue]

More, & more of these around all the time. Thanks for briefing us, on what’s available! I’m looking at larger home backup/off grid systems. I like my three Bluetti, they all work well, for what they are. A full home system, is going to be an expensive investment, & I’m hoping to make the right decision for us! Play carefully folks!

[@sylviajackson5974]

Is Yoshino the only SST on the market? I like their product, but I’m hoping they get some competition to lower the price.

[@SandiRose2008]

I've been shopping lately for an ice maker. I'll be interested to see a review from you on the Bluetti fridge/ice maker combo! Thank you for the CES video, Jason. I'm sure you enjoyed yourself!

[@Jasonoid]

I'll see if I can get my hands on one!

[@chrismichalek9529]

Would love to see reviews on Yoshino products. Thanks

[@Jasonoid]

The first gen products didn't have much of a solar charging input, the next gen should be much more capable. I'll see what I can do!

No problem!

[@prestoneprice]

Goal Zero design is CLEAN. love the looks of it!

[@frankcoffey]

One nice thing about showing this type of product is you can put your booth anywhere. 😁

[@PrecisionGroupYT]

Thank you for showing us all these great products! As a daily user of our Bluetti’s (AC200P, AC200Max & 2 x B230’s) I am excited about the Bluetti products! I hope that in the future these Solar Generator Companies will make units that can send the solar directly to the loads your running from solar saving the strain on the batteries and prolonging there cycle life’s ( Currently the solar goes into the batteries then goes from the batteries to the load ) NEW SUBSCRIBER Thank You!

[@Jasonoid]

Yeah, it would be great to have a true pass through power mode on solar. For now that's only possible on AC charging because the power is consistent and reliable over AC charging and solar can change drastically over a minute.

[@PrecisionGroupYT]

@@Jasonoid this is true but currently there home Solar power units like EG4, Growatt and Solark ( solar charger/ inverters ) that do this already!

[@dschroeder144]

Thanks for the CES walk-through. Very exciting to see the new products. I was at the 2020 CES just before COVID and I didn't see any powerstations. Now there seems to be a whole collection. Very cool. Great to see the KZbin creators selfie at the end. Love all of those guys!

[@Jasonoid]

This new solar/battery segment is really taking off. The competition is super high so everything is changing so quickly!

[@jgg204]

beginning in 2022 is when the slew of LFP patients began to expire. hence why everyone is crowding in now

[@RanchoTexano]

Thanks for sharing Jason! I’d be curious if the Pecron 3600 unit could handle the startup load for an RV air conditioner. That could be a game changer along with its price

[@Jasonoid]

That's a great test, I'll make sure to test that out!

[@budmartin3344]

@@Jasonoid I'm curious about what standby power draw when inveter is on but no load, I do not know why none of the power station manufacturers have the published spec for it and it should display that on the screen, I hope you will get the chance to it out soon.

Excited for pecron the most cause it's probably what i would get. I also like that its the only one i heard a price and date for. I will have to relisten, though. The blue fridge is interestin, though, and I really like the 700wh+ battery vs 300 or less many have. I'm not really interested in an ice maker but if it's a foot in the door more options may come.

@@Jasonoid Agreed! They were one of the first solar generators. Which helped me out during my emergency management days 😎

[@adriftatlas]

Any of them advertising 10ms or less UPS transfer time? I know the Ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra has an Online UPS, but that's too big for a computer UPS.

[@Jasonoid]

I did a recent video testing many of the popular model UPS speeds, there was actually one power station under 10ms (not the ultra)! Here's the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5u5mIiNadaFfas

[@adriftatlas]

Completely forgot about that video. The UGREEN 2200 was roughly 10ms. Wonder if the UGREEN 1200 is the same, a more reasonable size for a computer UPS. Was hoping vendors would start advertising 10ms like their jump from 30ms to 20ms of last year or so.

[@Jasonoid]

@@adriftatlas I don't have the 1200 so testing the actual speed is no longer possible but I bet is the exact same design and UPS hardware.

[@ewandonnachie3001]

Any word on the D40? Where is that?! AC200L is massively restricted without it!

[@TumnusMr]

Nice summary of sogens at CES. Gadget lovers paradise! Goal Zero looks to be finally catching up on some features like LFP, but much like Jackery they’re way more expensive than the rest. Honestly don’t get Anker with their 60V solar limit. I thought for their mobile stuff it was to push people to their own expensive solar panels, but why on earth would they stick with 60V on the F3800??? Will be interesting to see the quality and performance on the Pecron E3600. Looks like a good deal if they can hit that price. Currently on the fence about getting the Bluetti AC200L for its UPS modes and quiet operation to take my office off grid. Nice to see them hitting mainstream sales, but I feel like the IP rating just adds a lot of cost.

[@Jasonoid]

I'm not sure how much more expensive those Premium models will be, I couldn't get a cost from them. We'll have to see how much the markup is.

[@Ms.Frankenbuilder]

Bluetti 180t and new fridge/ freezer. Good video.

[@johntate5284]

That AC240 also has an AC paralleling connector on the side for paralleling 2 AC240's. It also takes up to 5 of the B210 batteries, This looks to be quite exciting! Thanks for showing us all the good stuff coming out in 2024!

[@Jasonoid]

Series or paralleling port? When I hear parallel ports I think of 120v with more amps and for series ports I think 240v with the same amps. I think it would be sweet to have BOTH options.... Double the 120v output or series for 240v output.

[@johntate5284]

@@Jasonoid I was just reading how the port was labeled from another CES video and what you are saying would be so simple, as long as the clocks are locked together, in phase gives you double the wattage and 180 out gives you double the voltage. It would be great to se that option on a power station!

[@Jasonoid]

Goal zero created the first power station a long time ago and then stopped coming out with new products. They finally released these new products so they are pretty exciting to see. The quality and support should be really good. Pricing will be high since they are a US based company with us support.

[@jacksherman7445]

Great overview!

[@frankiebpr]

Thank you!!! Which PS with solar panel would you recommend to power an a/c unit in an RV. Again thank you for the coverage…..

[@Jasonoid]

Most of those RV A/Cs use around 1500 watts so you'd need something pretty large to get a decent runtime (or something that takes in a bunch of solar to offset the AC power usage). The Pecron E3600 might be a really good candidate for that. It's pretty compact and allows for lots of solar input.

[@kenastl]

The trusty Eco Flow Delta Pro is perfect for my use except that it does not have a full 3600 watt UPS feature. I want a portable system that I can use with a generator inlet in off-grid mode and take it with me for camping with 3.6kw of output. That seems like it would be a sweet spot, but nobody has filled it yet IMO.

[@Jasonoid]

The upcoming Pecron unit has a full 3600w inverter. We'll have to see how it performs!

[@gojeffgordon24]

Pecron and Bluetti look good to me. My worry about the swappable batteries is that top and how easily could a little water get in it and damage something. I have had my Ecoflow's DC power stop working after getting caught out in some rain with it. That hatch on the top looks worrisome and I like wireless charging that they usually have. The AC240 looks appealing. Was the solar input a XT60 plug under that cover? Didn't look their common 8mm barrel plug. That big Pecron could be the value king, but I hope they have some kind of app control with it.

That Pecron stuff looks pretty good. They seem to have the 12v side down on their power stations. And I'm kinda a Bluetti fan boy. I know to much 😔 Those Goal Zero fridges can be had on Vevor's site for dirt cheap. LG I guess was sued by Secop a couple years back for directly copying Secops compressor designs. But a few friends have the LG powered Alpicool's. One took a dump. And he replaced it with a Dometic 55IM. Speaking of fridges. I have the Iceco Jp40 and Jp50. I'm going to retire them. They work. However the insulation sucks. I had lost all power in my Peterbilt and in 4 hours in 70 degree weather the Jp50 as a freezer was at 50 degrees when I had the battery fuses replaced. No bueno. I know in 10 hours it took my Dometic 55IM to warm up to 26 degrees after it had become uplugged. In 70 degree weather. Big difference.

[@Jasonoid]

The plastic 'framed' ICECOs don't have the thicker insulated walls like the VL or VLpro series. You can't go wrong with Dometic, they know what they are doing!

[@DutchK75]

@@Jasonoid Actually both the AJ and JP series chassis have 3.1 inches 79mm of insulation. More than the 55mm of the steel cabinet fridges that Iceco has. More than my beloved Snomaster 85L. I think it's because they are shot with insulation that's not very good. And as you know...These are a very common chassis. Alpicool and just about everyone else uses this style of chassis. And they all come from the same place. My sisters VL45 has 55mm. She never complained about it at all. I want to do a experiment with it VS these Jp's.

Can you do something on solar panels that acre 200 watt or higher? That are lightweight which means slightly bendable. I bought a renogy highly rated 200 watt bendable renogy solar panel and it didn’t work. Did not charge much and then just quit. I like renogy and it gets good reviews but really, mine didn’t work at all. Had to send it back .. solar panels that are waterproof are very very heavy for me. That’s why I wanted a lighter weight. Even built it a structure so it would last. Sadly, didn’t even work☹️. Amy other suggestions for completely waterproof.I gut weight 200 plus or above? I’m at a loss…

Ecoflow is a beast,Ugreen to be honest I was more interested in the car stuff than the power stations lol, Anker big boy looks really nice with the 240v output but that 60volt 25 amp thing is something I can't get into. That Tent that Jackery has really caught my eye as well as the Transfer switch that Goal Zero has, the Haven 10. Goal Zero seemed to go off the radar for a good min, it's great to see they're back in the game. Bluetti I love them to def but they are releasing too many stations too fast.

[@Jasonoid]

They usually stick with plug n play systems, maybe one day they will!

[@renyraiche-gregoire4921]

I Jason, Do you have news about the Person e3600lfp?

[@Jasonoid]

Nothing new from them, I should be hearing from them soon. The Chinese spring holiday is coming to an end this week so I'll be getting lots of new emails again.

[@renyraiche-gregoire4921]

Did you received a new from Person for E3600LFP

[@thelasthallow]

how is the charging on the anker 3600 bad? website says it can charge up to 2400W, seems pretty good to me?

[@Jasonoid]

You didn't watch the video I guess.

[@thelasthallow]

@@Jasonoid uh yeah i did. im commenting on exactly what you said in the video at 16:16, you said that the charging range for the anker is "kindof a bummer" aka its not fucking good, why dont you go back and re watch your own video because you clearly dont remember that you made a negative comment about something, which is why i asked "how is 2400W bad" maybe elaborate a bit here before cocking off.

[@Jasonoid]

@@thelasthallow sorry about that confusion. KZbin doesnt show me the video the comment came from and I just put out a 30 minute video testing the F3800 where I showed exactly what I'm talking about. Let me elaborate on 'the charging range' I was talking about for the F3800. The input voltage for the Anker F3800 for solar is 11v to 60v, which means the solar panels you use on the power station is very limited. This means in order to have the max input you need to find very specific solar panels to max out the charging of 2400 watts at a very high amperage. You also need to put those panels in parallel which requires much larger cable and added cost and components. If you wanted to run 100ft of cable between your solar panel and power station that wiring would cost over $100. All other large power stations have 150v to 500v charging range allowing you to use any solar panel on the market in a series configuration. This keeps the cost wire much lower, you can have very long cable runs from your solar panel to your power station without losing power, and you can use any solar panel you want to get that power. Anker makes their own solar panel to get the full 2400 watts but each 400w solar panel is $1000 and only has a 1 year warranty. I just bought three 400w solar panels for $450 ($150 each) that have a 25 year warranty so you can see the value of using your own panels. If you want a power station with real solar potential go with a model that has a much higher solar input voltage, not a 60v cutoff.

[@FirstNameLastName-hy2iz]

@@Jasonoid Seems the guy commenting above doesn't get why having high PV input voltage is so important. I went with Oupes Mega 5 because it has 150vdc PV input comparted to the other comparable units at that price and KWH. He'll see what you mean once he starts running wires from array to the powerstation. Probably under size the cable then be mad at the system not producing expected power. LOL

[@grahamkearnon6682]

Yeah good clear review, the word "cool" needs a reduction of use in narration. The 240v packs are getting close for pure electric RV/ camper life.

[@Jasonoid]

😂🤣 I didn't have a script for this one, everything was off the cuff in a loud and busy environment. I could hardly hear my own voice. Maybe next time I'll reduce the word 'cool'.

[@Ethan.s..]

4:17 a power station within a power station? ;)

[@Jasonoid]

It will take TWO power stations inside haha!

[@Sam-ys4pc]

These things are toys, they have all kinds of issues and cant be repaired locally. A good gas generator is a far better choice.

[@mrp55net]

Does the Bluetti fridge come with a Danfoss/SECOP compressor?

[@Jasonoid]

They didn't tell me the compressor brand. I would have to tear it down to confirm which model it has (which I do in all my reviews of fridges).

[@shelley131]

Thanks for the video, I'm still waiting for a power bank with at least 6 12V cigarette plugs. Inergy makes one but I don't like the company.

[@Jasonoid]

I'm afraid that won't ever be an option 😔 Power station companies are moving away from 12v sockets on their models. I'd suggest doing a DIY project with a large battery if you need something that specific.

[@jamespruett2849]

Jason any idea of who is going to be carrying Bluetti for retail

[@Jasonoid]

Probably home depot, Costco and walmart. They couldn't give me that info yet!

[@Canoneosmiami]

Most interest-solid state batteries!

[@Jasonoid]

Those are super cool!

[@JohnSmith-wt3mw]

All still using bulky cables but the ecoflow ultra. The yoshino looks nice, and solar charging on the ugreen for individual batteries is an awesome feature. I don't even look at jackery or goal zero...overpriced and completely overtaken by the competition.

[@Jasonoid]

Im glad Yoshino took our feedback and really went high on the solar for the new model. The gen 1 stuff was a little under rated on the solar side of things.

[@theodoredesmarais4219]

I find the small ( 300 w ) solgens and larger ( 2000w / 2000wh ) useful as they ARE portable and the Home units ( Ecoflow Ultra ) can be convenient , though you get the convenience price, as in very high compared to EG4 6000EX and Server Rack batteries , my point is All these mid size as relatively useless as they are too heavy for portable and too small for real cabin, luxury camp, etc uses. Too many engineers in city environments who never camp or cabin.

[@michellelaclair]

Bluetti looks like Jackery now.

[@Jasonoid]

Throwing that orange in there!

[@Moes_Prep_and_Tech]

2:25 that looks like Jeff Hagen

[@Jasonoid]

It sure is! I enjoyed meeting him in person.

[@Moes_Prep_and_Tech]

He has a video unboxing the bluetti cooler and the power station with the interchangeable batteries (i forgot the name of it so many names)@@Jasonoid

[@Moes_Prep_and_Tech]

I just noticed minuteman prep, will prowse and johnny's weekends, who's the other guy.

[@Jasonoid]

@@Moes_Prep_and_Tech Todd Parker, he has a great channel!
