“[…] In the end the Jackery Explorer 1000 ran my full size Kenmore for 16 hours, 10 minutes. That was within an hour of my original run-time estimate of 17 hours! For reference the ambient room temp was 70 degrees F, and the internal fridge temp was 37 degrees F. The total amount of energy put out by the Jackery Explorer 1000 was 830 Wh. That is basically an inverter efficiency of 83%. That’s not bad considering that when the fridge is cycled off, the inverter still draws power. All in all I was very happy with the real world run-time of over 16 hours. That will be very useful in a power outage; very common here in Napa County.[…]” — Ken P.

“[…] I spent a good week putting this new Jackery 1000 through it paces. When it arrived, I was already surprised at the size of the box. It was smaller than I expected. I unpacked it finding the Jackery 1000, a solar charging adapter, 12V car charging adapter and the AC charging brick. The Jackery user guide, and all documentation is in Jackery style, easy to read and understand. The Jackery 1000 is compact and very light for a 1000 watt portable power station. Weighing in at just a touch over 22 lbs, it is a lightweight with heavy performance. The large handle makes it easy to grab and take with you anywhere. In the car, on a picnic, outdoor party, camping, emergency, job site, you have power to go. It has 3 AC plugs that produce clean AC 110V, and up to 1000 watts combined. The AC power inverter is pure sine wave for sensitive electronics like your laptop and appliances. a 12V DC cigarette plug that has regulated 12V output. USB 2A and a USB quick charging port. Lastly, the Jackery sports 2 USB-C ports. Now you can connect your oldest and newest devices for charging. […]”— Repro63 (This review has been edited for length. Read the full review here.)
“[…] I wanted to keep my van as versatile as possible so by buying the Jackery 1000 I eliminated the confusion and extra money it would take to put a deep cell battery system in, which would be permanently fixed in my van. With the Jackery 1000 being portable and so light weight, if I don’t need it and I need space in my van then I simply take it out – not like it takes up a lot of room, it’s small for how much power it puts out. When I need power, I simply put it back in and I don’t have to worry about running wires, or fuses, or converters. It so simply to use and it’s basically just plug and play. I keep it behind my driver’s seat, so it reaches the 12V plug I have in the front of the van, I place my fridge/freezer next to it and plug it right in. Here’s the cool part, when I’m driving, I have the Jackery plugged in the van, so it is charging, but it also has pass through charging, which mean I can run the fridge through it at the same time! So, when I’m driving the Jackery 1000 is charging, yet the fridge/freezer can continue to run. If I have to stop for lunch or I want to get a quick hike in I don’t have to worry about the fridge because when I turn the van off the 1000 switches right over to provide it power – then when I’m back in the van, I start it up and the charging cycle starts again. It’s literally so easy and such a great way to not have to worry about your food getting warm. The great part about having the unit behind my driver seat is that when I reach my destination, I simply crack my driver’s window and run the wires to the solar panels and place them on the roof of my van. It’s all so simple and it’s such a great set up for what I need it to do. Do not hesitate, their products are top notch quality!” — DHaggsJr (This review has been edited for length.
