Vtoman Jump 1500 Power Station - Best Portable Solar Generator?

[@PJH3SonofPJH2]

Great review!!! I have the uk version Vtoman 1500x, the uk version doesn't come with the jump cable extra. All in all , i love it. Will be sorting out solar soon and adding the extra battery. It will be awesome!!! I drive trucks and using the cigarette lighter charging think its 24 v in the truck. within 2 hours its charged.

[@WestCoastRoller]

Great review! Especially the real world testing of appliances. Thanks

[@UPdan]

I'm using the Vtoman 1000 and it's running my portable refrigerator for 7 days from 1000 to 50 %. These Vtoman replace bluetti in my book.

[@UPdan]

100 to 50 %.

[@lazzlazz8600]

That’s crazy good. I’ve just bought this unit to power my 75lt 12v camping fridge, and I am very curious to know how long it will run it before any form of charging. It pulls around 1AH per day, so I’m hoping at least 2 days.

[@SlackersIndustry]

cant replace bluetti, bluetti charges by solar quickly, vtoman is too slow

[@jacobpetersen5662]

I doubt that... Most 12V fridges use 64W.... and with 1000kwh.... this math doesn't add up.

[@Anthony-w7i5g]

@@SlackersIndustry Bluetti look and feel good but mine has broken so many times I replaced it with a VTOMAN.

[@mattharris2398]

We just purchased this unit looking forward to camping with this bad boy. We have a smallish electric cooler i think this will run that for a long time

[@cdonuts7335]

Great review, I have just bought the 1500. I already have a couple of jump 600 with extra batteries. Although they are slow to recharge compared to others it has never been an issue camping. Gave me shivers when you mention Bears!I have a bad bear phobia even though I live in a country that doesn't have bears! Keep safe!

[@richroj]

Matt, thats a great unit. maybe I'll pick up a few of them just in case. you never know when the power goes out 👍👍💯 make your life easier ✌

[@markbohler6060]

I have the 1500X, not sure what is different. Bought it in case power goes out, I can still watch TV and internet and keep personal devices alive. Meant to sort of be a mini generator. Debating on getting the extra battery in case of legit power outage. Thoughts? Can this really replace an actual gas generator? Can I use an extension chord and plug it into my F-150’s 110V outlet and charge it with truck running while it’s still running the things I need it to inside the house? I know a portable heater will slay its run time, but I have candles and what not to keep warm if needed. If you have suggestions for a heater that wouldn’t cook the battery life, I’m all ears. I’d like to be able to efficiently go full electric in case of an emergency and long outage (Western NY resident).

[@TolbersCamping]

Hey Mark, sorry for late response. Yours is pretty similar to this one except it has less battery power in it. The one shown has 1548wh where yours has 828wh. So basically it would run almost twice as long as your with the same things plugged into it. The extra battery you can attach has the same power as this one, so it would be like having yours plus this one to power stuff. I think since you already have the 1500x it would be a good idea to get the attachable battery for more power. Also it does have pass through charging so you could charge it from your truck while you use it to power other things. I recommend propane for heat or a diesel heater as electric heaters use to much power. These are nice over a regular gas generator as they don’t make any noise or put off any fumes so can use them indoors, also you can plug in solar panels and while it’s sunny get free power without spending money on gas. Hope this helps

[@Ritterkritterz]

👏 Excellent video sir!!! I came to this review to see if this could be used while camping to charge the boat batteries with the trickle charger or battery maintainer...i dont know what you call it, but i assume it consumes less wattage than any appliances u used in this EXCELLENT test!! Bravo! 👏

[@yuseahuang3750]

Great review, thanks, can you charge the unit using car changer and the solar panel at the same time?

[@oneofakindkev5259]

definitely a strong contender next to bluetti and eco flow

Great review! Tyvm. I am looking for a 1500w. I am surprised the keurug pulled so much. I have a ninja pulling 900w. Does that zero breeze actually work? What volume can you cool? I am looking at 360 cu ft. Thx!

[@garymartin6066]

Do you have instruction on cable that goes from solar panel to battery. In instruction booklet it shows DC5521 connector. Shows only single cable. The cable they sent has 2 plug in for solar panel. The other end has 3 plug ins. One for battery and what are the 2 other plugin attached to the same cable. One is yellow and the other is a black and red??

[@Deadmanforever50]

Are these power stations would you recommend that can run a coffee pot like some of your household items but it's cheap when you loose power

[@davidparker7156]

if you bought a 100ah lithium battery and adjusted the cables would that hook into the port for the extra battery and function properly?

[@goingoverland6403]

I have one and it shuts off after 6 hours in DC or AC whether or not there is a load on it. So no good for running a fridge. Does your unit do the same thing?

[@tonyinfinity]

I think this company is pulling a few BS switch-a-roos, They were selling this "1500" that was claimed at 1548wh, but now they offer the 1500X which is only 828wh capacity. That's a considerable drop, so buyers be aware of that if you're watching this video and think it's a review of their current 1500X. Now you have to buy the 1800 model to get the same comparison.

[@stevemlejnek7073]

How long would the 1500 watt unit run a typical house furnace producig heat during a power outage?

[@natefreeman1466]

I’m assuming you mean an electric furnace right? You wouldn’t want to use any kind of backup power station because an electric furnace or space heater will gobble up the power way too quickly. You should look for a Mr Heater Buddy space heater which runs on propane instead.

[@bethnicholson20]

Could I use this for a 8,000 btu portable air conditioner?

[@ericrullmann2354]

Not for very long I suspect unless u have a way to keep it charged

[@frankroper3274]

I can tell folks a little secret about that extra battery. If you have another solar generator you can take a 12 volt cable to the size charging port of the VTOman and it will do the same thing! If you don't the extra battery might be a good idea since these batteries drain faster than you think on a load like a 12 volt fridge.

[@paulparrinello2526]

Can you review the Vtoman 1800? That is the largest one!

[@TolbersCamping]

Hey Paul, that just came out and is basically the same exact thing as this but with an 1800w inverter. Holds the same amount of power and plugs. So if you are running a device that pulls over 1500w but less than 1800 that would work. I personally wouldn’t pay much more at all for that

[@paulparrinello2526]

@@TolbersCamping I’m sure it’s more powerful then the 1500 because why would they make the 1800?

[@TolbersCamping]

@@paulparrinello2526 I just explained it has an 1800w inverter which is why they call it the 1800 where the 1500 has a 1500w inverter. Meaning if you have a device or combination of devices that run over 1500 watts but under 1800 this would work. They both have the exact same capacity though meaning the same size battery 1548wh

[@paulparrinello2526]

@@TolbersCamping do you think it can run a DJ set up?

[@TolbersCamping]

@@paulparrinello2526 I highly recommend you purchase an electricity usage monitor, plug an extension cord into that and then plug all your dj devices into it to see how many watts you pull. Once you know your average watts being pulled you can than calculate what size power station will work. This is the best one rated on amazon, so get this or something similar to test amzn.to/3WdukYT

[@Monarch67]

You said you can use a bluetti 200w solar panel with this unit but have you tested this? From what I can see the bluetti is an 8mm end and the vtoman is a 5.5mm so you would need an adapter.

I want to run a compact fridge with freezer in the living quarters of my horse trailer I will camp 3 nites max…will this work? I will have pre-frozen ice packs in fridge to help maintain temperature. The fridge will be the ONLY appliance plugged in. Every other “appliance”I have is used over a fire or on a propane/butane camp stove. 😂 All my lights and usb powered by two deep cycle batteries.

[@TolbersCamping]

Is it a 12v fridge? I highly recommend buying a electricity usage monitor, they cost like 30 dollars, I’ll leave a link below to what I’m talking about. Plug your fridge into it and into a power source for 3 days and it will tell you the total watts you used over that period. Then you will be able to know what size power station you need. If it’s really hot out it will use more power, if colder out less. I know you want a simple answer I just don’t want to say yes it will be big enough and then it not be. My guess would be yes, just don’t hold me to it 😂 here’s what I’m talking about amzn.to/3WHES1O

This was 1500wh, either they stopped making it or not in stock currently. The 1500x is not the same one
