Jackery 1000 v2 Review 2: 

I was looking for a power station due to frequent power cuts in my village, and I wanted a solution that would also be suitable for use in a camper. A wide variety is available in this sector, but finding the right balance between capacity, portability, and cost is essential.

The Explorer 1000 can easily power my phone, tablet, laptop, speaker, lights, and an electric blanket for a minimum of five hours. That's exactly what I was looking for, and it delivers just that. The maximum capacity is 1500w, which may not be suitable for operating most kettles, toasters, or air fryers. However, that doesn't concern me.
