6 Dimensions to Review Jackery 2000 Plus Emergency Generator for Home

6 Multi-Dimensional Evaluation

We simulated situations close to power outages and tested this product in every way possible. But before seeing the results, let’s have a quick look at the basic specifications of this product.

Now, let us walk you through our experience of using this emergency generator for home use.

Unboxing Experience

Unboxing the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus provides a clear sense of the product's quality.

The package contains:

• Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus
• Car Charge Cable
• AC Charge Cable
• DC7909 to DC8020 Adapter x 2
• SolarSaga 100w

You will find a user manual inside the box, and taking a quick look at it will tell you everything you need to know about this product.

Every component inside the package is securely packed to prevent damage during transit. The generator itself has a sleek and exceptional design, which makes it highly portable. It looks like other Jackery products in the characteristic orange and grey colour scheme. The build quality is impressive, with clearly labelled ports and buttons arranged for intuitive use.

Ease of Installation

When we first unboxed the generator, we managed to bring it into working condition in less than 5 minutes.  The fact of the matter is that this emergency generator for home is easy to install, even for people with no technical knowledge. All you need to do is connect the wires to the relevant ports, and the system will become operational. Each and every port on the system is clearly labelled, and the mockup generator is designed on the accompanying manual, which further increases its ease of installation.

These facilities essentially make the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station a plug-and-play device.

In case of a power outage when you just need to turn on the system instead of installing it, you can easily do it in a couple of seconds.

Expandability and Compatibility

We tested this generator to see how much load it can bear at any specific time and what the options are for Aussies who have more energy needs than its built-in capacity. Carrying out this test suggested that even though this emergency generator for home comes with 2 kWh of capacity, it can easily be expanded up to 12 kWh just by installing additional battery packs.

All you need is to get those battery packs from Jackery’s official website, and you can install them yourself without needing any professional help. Expanding the capacity makes this generator a complete powerhouse. Let’s say you have expanded it up to its maximum capacity of 12kWh, you can even use it for an off-grid lifestyle. This is what a majority of Australians are doing these days. They invest in a quality solar generator like the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station and get rid of electricity bills for a whole decade to come.

Another notable advantage of this solar generator that we came across is its compatibility with different electronic appliances. It supports AC output, USB-A and USB-C output and perfectly powers the devices that receive these inputs.

Practical Application Test

We checked the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station against common electrical appliances that a normal household uses during an emergency outage. Despite all the scepticism from our previous experiences with some other generators, the Jackery emergency generator for the home continued to run without any hitch.

First of all, we powered an 800W microwave oven and used it to warm a couple of meals. The oven worked nicely, which then urged us to expose it to an even more demanding portable Air Conditioner of 1200W. To our surprise, the AC also worked seamlessly and continued to do so for a good amount of time. After that, we used it to power a 700W coffee maker, and the results were equally impressive. Even when these devices are powered simultaneously, the Jackery emergency generator for home works perfectly and gives you consistent output. All you need to do is keep it charged, and this generator will continue doing wonders for you.

Noise and Safety

One of the important aspects of this emergency generator for home that we were excited to see was its noise levels. After all, what is the point of having a solar generator that makes constant noise at a time when you are already suffering from a power outage?

We surprisingly found that this generator hardly makes a noise of 30 dB and it clearly feels that you are sitting in a quiet library.

Safety was another aspect that we wanted to evaluate in this generator. Despite having a majestic capacity of 2kWh, the generator never poses any threat that usually comes when you keep such massive batteries in your home. Also, this emergency generator for home has innovative ChargeShield technology that comes with 62 protective mechanisms and extends the battery life by 50%.

Solar Charging Efficiency

We tested different sets of SolarSaga panels to charge this emergency generator for home use.

Using 6 SolarSaga 100W solar panels, the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus can be fully charged in 6 hours!

However, recognizing that solar power isn't always accessible, especially in stormy weather, we also tested alternative charging methods. We found that using an AC adapter, the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus can be fully charged in 1.7 hours, and with a 12V car adapter, it can complete charging within 25 hours.

This fast solar charging capacity is the direct result of the advanced technology that Jackery has been using in its products over the years.

Product Overview

When you go to Jackery's official website, you will find different combinations in which you can purchase this emergency generator for home use. Just to save you from any confusion, here are all the combinations that you will come across:

• Explorer 2000 Plus + SolarSaga 100W x2 (2kWh capacity)
• Solar Generator 2000 Plus Kit (4kWh + SolarSaga 100W x 2)
• Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus Kit (12kWh + 6 SolarSaga 100W Panels)

The exact product that you want to buy depends upon your specific needs and budget. As their specifications suggest, the 2kWh system will come at the cheapest upfront price and the cost increases as you add more battery packs.

Whichever option you choose, you sign up for a highly effective power bank that helps you avert any power outage.

This Jackery emergency generator for home has gone viral for all the right reasons. First of all, it has earned FCC/CE and UL certifications, which makes this product ultra-safe.

Its safety is further reinforced with the ChargeShield Technology, which comes with 62 protective mechanisms that keep the generator and your electronics safe from overcharging, overcurrent and other electricity-related hazards. This home battery storage solution aligns with environmentally friendly practices, which Austrailians keep close to their heart. Also, it only produces a noise that you will typically hear in an extremely quiet library. The rapid solar charging capability is supported by IBC panels, which act as a cherry on top and make the generator ready to use at the time and place of your choice.

Jackery has an impressive price-to-performance ratio, which is evident in its quick payback period. Depending upon your usage pattern, you can expect to recover the capital cost of this emergency generator for home in less than two years, and after that, you can continue to enjoy free and reliable electricity. This was also a huge motivation for us when we were buying the solar generator. Having a Jackery emergency generator for home provides you unparalleled relief. You will never get worried again about any impending disaster that comes with the potential of disrupting electricity infrastructure.

Technological Edge and Smart App Convenience

When we first bought this power generator, you may have worried if this investment would even be worth it. Since then, this backup generator for home has helped in exceptional and unbelievable ways. We have been in situations where we faced long power outages at a time when losing power was the last thing we wanted. Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station saved us from much trouble and helped us navigate difficult times quite comfortably.

From powering our gadgets for home office use to running heavy appliances, this generator has never surrendered in the face of adversity. And much of it has to do with its reliance on advanced technology that makes it stand out. For instance, we were surprised to see a solar generator coming with a conversion efficiency as high as 25% at a time when most options out there only reached the 20% mark at maximum.

Jackery’s smart app makes the use of this solar generator even more attractive. You can just download the application on your phone and control the whole electricity infrastructure of your house right from your fingers.

Versatile Usage and Brand Reputation

A single recharge of this generator gives you reliable coverage throughout the power breakdown. During this time, you can run appliances like washing machines, portable ACs or heaters, microwave ovens, mobile, laptops, coffee makers, medical devices, lights, TVs, and electric stoves.

It is a highly future-proof investment as the sun is here to stay and will keep on powering your electronics for times to come. You get all the electricity without discharging any harmful pollutant in the air which is a satisfying experience in itself. Once you get this generator, its usage possibilities are endless. Even when you are not suffering from power outages, you can use it in your normal routine to reduce your electricity bills. Similarly, this solar generator also helps during outdoor trips and lets you enjoy the adventure by keeping electricity worries aside.

Jackery’s historical record of providing highly reliable power generators is also one of the reasons why millions of others, including us, preferred them over anything else. They have delivered more than 3 million solar batteries for home all over the world, and this number is rising like never before. Their pursuit of green energy is made possible only after their reliance on technology, as they hold more than 295 patents under their name, which was also an encouraging sign for us before we made this investment.
