Ratings & Reviews for Jackery Explorer 550 Solar Generator (550Wh) 500 -Watts Portable Power Station (1 Solar Panel Included) (Battery Included and Charger Not Included)

fine

It's very easy to set up. I've only used it for charging tool batteries and cellphone, doesn't last as long as I thought it would but will put it to the test when I hook up a small pump to water my gardens. So far, so good. The price does seem very high for what it does.

Must have…

I used this product on a every day basis. If you live off the grid this is for you or if you’re just camping I must need. Every family man needs one.

Jackery 1500 and 2 100 watt solar panels

does not hold a charge for very long. It works. the panels charge it perfectly. At 8:30 pm the night before I charge the unit up to 100%. go to bed. wake up the next morning, its at 98% with no use what so ever. I feel a brand new unit should not be doing this and will likely wear out faster.

Solar Generator 1500

Great product, especially during these times of high energy prices

at 1529 Watt Hours, this small 35LB Gen is a beast

The Jackery 1500 is awesome and a quality product, thanks Lowes, only advice I have is bring the cost of the carrying case down, $129.00 is pretty steep.

Easy, versatile field or backup power

We live among big trees in the PNW Winter Cyclone corridor, so get power outages fairly often. Part of the charm of living here. And of course stormfalls supply everything needed (i.e., wood) to cook, heat water, and heat the house. And of course we also keep in stock a dual-fuel generator. But there are times when we just want to run a couple fans to distribute wood stove heat, maybe a light or two to weave or carve or bang rocks together or play instruments by, while enjoying our comfy imposed...

Charging time is very good very compact well-built

Easy to use and recharge

I have been wanting to get this for a while. I'm glad I bit the bullet (making payments over time) and bought it because a short while ago, the power went out, and it was such a relief to put out this solar generator. What I like about it--it is easy to use and recharge. What I don't like--2 cables came in the kit that I don't know what to use with them. I thought they were to be used with the solar panels, but I didn't need them to recharge the generator. There isn't anything in the instruction...

Consider you needs

To provide an appropriate product review, I will begin by explaining how we intend to use this item. Our camper van has AGM batteries and a 1000 watt inverter. We needed a little more power than this, so a solar generator seemed to be a good choice. For our situation, the Jackery is ideal. It provides about 1500wh and includes an 1800 watt inverter. Its size (14" X 10.4" X 12.7") and weight (about 35 pounds) are just right for the limited storage. The ability to charge with solar is perfect. A...

Better than expected

Fantastic product. We ran our big screen TV, cable box and home theater sound system during a recent power outage for several hours and only used 15% battery. It recharges quickly and keeps 100% charge indefinitely in storage. I'm very impressed by this battery pack. I've sold family members on getting one too.

The jackery 550 is great. Operating it is simple. Only had it for three weeks, already paying for itself. Love the lite weight. Wish the ports had covers to keep sand and debris out. Overall 👍👍

Great for grid down.

Works as stated plus some. Good preparedness item.

Good Product

I bought the 550 to have enough power for a few days with my CPAP. 2 days late on delivery; delayed my trip to wait for FedEx to arrive. 49% charge upon delivery. My trucks 12v cigarette lighter is broken so no charging while driving. Not enough power for an Airsense 10 CPAP through the night with humidifier on. A-10 is 24v so I plugged into 110v and used its transformer to step down. Power outputs have manual on off switches on the Jackery. Accidently Left the 110v on 1st day which opera...
