Well I’m useless with technology so I wanted something easy to use and can be charged by solar. If I could give it ten stars I would, it arrived 49 % charged so just plugged it into the mains socket. Everything you need cable wise comes in a zip bag, I fitted a solar panel 200w to my camper bus and purchased the lead compatible with the Jackery, charged it via solar yesterday for the first time, I still haven’t needed to read the instructions. Took under 4 hours. I’ve run my tv, internet, kettle 500w, phone .
Will be purchasing a second one at some point in the near future, big thanks to Jackery for making an excellent product. I will do an update when I’m off traveling and go completely off grid.
Good product. Bought this then a solar panel 100w
Tested it , plugged in and ran a 72inch Tv with all the accessories, a light , charged a power pack , a go pro and a metal detector, all that lot burned about 25% of the charge so absolutely no issues .
I worked this out to be the equivalent of 1.00 worth of electric which is 39p more than our standing charges , and on that basis over a month you should get 30.00 savings easy
Just a note turn the DC button off if your not using it & recommend buying a solar panel to go with it 100w you can pick them up for around 100 quid , and also get a 5m extension lead from Jackery – panel.
One thing to think about it has a fan that kicks in every 20mins or so .. so that may be an issue if your a light sleeper.
My plan now is to use this in me camper van which should be perfect !
Not found anything to dislike about this item.
I have sold all my other powerbanks since upgrading to Jackery. Good 1000w output, plenty of connection options. Would certainly keep me on the bank and fully charged/powered up for a few days.
Good investment, not too heavy, can be taken anywhere and handy if you have a power cut a home to get things charged.
A really lovely bit of kit. Expensive but oozes quality.
The solar panels are great. Should keep you self sufficient off grid as long as there is some light from the sun.
Very useful during recent power failure for 4.5 hours to keep gas boiler going, Fridge and freeze
Solar panels work well on sunny days, eg one 100w panel recorded 85w being generated. On cloudy days it can be more like 10 or 15w. It depends a lot on the positioning of the panels too.
The only drawback of the Jackery is the 1000w capacity, meaning you are limited in what you can plug into the 13amp sockets as far as current draw is concerned. They do make higher capacity models but so far these are not available in the UK, as far as I am aware.
When not camping, I work from home and this runs my entire office (2 laptops, 2 screens, a printer and a scanner) during the day, while charging, and then it runs my TV system at night.
I’ve also used it to run a projector and sound bar in the garden for our own private little drive-in cinema.
Had this for 2 months now and can’t live without it. I’ve knocked 80 off EACH of the last 2 months electricity bills, and have peace of mind that I can get by if the power fails for whatever reason.
At 1000Wh it’s not the size of the Bluetti, and I’m sure you can get cheaper ones, but it’s plug and play out the box and it gets it done. Very happy with this.
Easy to use
Hook up the solar panel & your off grid .
I use it for rechargeable items instead of plugging in to mains.
I put the panel in window so it constantly charges.
Great for
Lap tops
Lights
Shavers
Karcher
Phones
Loads of stuff!
I bought jump leads to connect to it too, so could jumpstart a car if I need to.
Small scale off grid power
But has me thinking of going full solar in the future.
Pricey as is the panel but a great addition & no worries if we have a blackout.
If you have the budget go for it
It’s robust & easy to use
No wiring electrics to your meter!
I’ve had it since November & yes the solar trickles power to it during the day.
Love it & may consider another smaller model to charge off this one !
I took a few weeks looking at my options and having previously purchased a smaller 240W version (for a previous motorhome that was smaller) I decided to again go with Jackery. This 1000W runs my microwave with ease and is as with all Jackery kit extremely well built. I opted for two 100W solar panels and have these plugged in charging now at rapid rate.
Well done Jackery for another series of really well thought out products, that are robust cosmetically pleasing and great value for money.
Also, tell me if this was helpful.
I’m not rich by any means.
The best investment you will ever commit to.
I bought this jackery for my campervan to power:
Laptop
Tablet
Phone(s)
Dehumidifier (usb 2amp)
Festoon lights
Alpicool 12v fridge (on freeze mode)
Large fan
Nothing over 200 watts generally, BUT 140 watts continually/collectively while in operation. (Devices charged up and plugged-in).
I was only expecting it to last around 6 hours with all this running.
NOT 2 WHOLE DAYS STRAIGHT!!!
day 1 it was around 3/4 battery and I started to wonder how much longer it was willing to carry on.
Day 2 went past and it was STILL! at 1/3 battery with everything on it.
What the hell!?….
I read the reviews and looked at cheaper versions and swerved buying the cheaper models. They had some technical issues.
This jackery explorer 1000 hasn’t got any bad reviews, its surpassed and exceeded expectations through the roof.
Your paying a grand for this no matter what. PAY IT!
I found myself plugging anything in to it to finish it off to no avail.
The jackery gives you the confidence you did the right thing. I used generators to power the van for years and what on earth was I thinking at the time.
I probably spent 1000 in fuel over the years with the noise and limitations of use.
Its on its second charge and curiosity is kicking-in to what else I can throw at it.
Its a new toy on exponential levels.
My camper is 150kg lighter saving fuel/clutch as I have removed the lead acid battery’s.
OK bad bits, you ready?
You can’t carry this up a mountain. If you can, you probably entered a “tough mudder” event permanently.
Charging, reasonably slow charging conserves battery longevity. (Understood).
The light on the side is pointless however usable in an emergency. This jackery will power a light brighter than a police helicopter (whats the point)?
It still consumes wattage past 100%.
This is probably the “topping stage” of the battery. An additional threshold of capacity. Dont be alarmed, it stops about an hour after that. Stays at 100% for hours in while in operation.
Do not attempt to plug a kettle into it.
A kettle is around 3kw, the jackery is 1kw.
You will blow it up. Circuit protection isn’t reliable all the time. This jackery hasn’t been load tested for anything like this in reviews or my personal use so don’t attempt it anyway. (12v Travel kettles not exceeding 10 amps is ok).
If your using an induction hob (1kw) the unit will last approximately hour. Be savvy with your usage.
You wont find one second hand ANYWHERE! just buy new.
Customer service:
expect waiting for ages for a reply while your busy, then realise you missed the reply email hours ago. I hate it when that happens. (Almost instant response)
Valuable company!
They delivered this to me 5 days earlier than the delivery date promoted on the listing. (How rude)!
Arrived over packaged, you could literally put a baby in there and would arrive without a bruise.
Like you, your probably on the same limited budget as me. (I was also the one noodling round looking for a cheaper alternatives) you wont, you simply won’t get this quality anywhere.
BUY IT!!!
After purchasing our domestic CFX Fridge. There was only 1 battery I wanted for the job, however we had to wait for the UK launch in March. We ordered straight way and received the E1000 quicker then expected. It charges a lot faster then expected too.
We love it from inflating the beams on our tent, then powering the CFX fridge while camping. We have already used it in so many different ways, we can’t wait to keep exploring, all I need now is the 200W solar panel to come over from the US.

This new Jackery E1000 – gives me all the juice I require and much more. Its packed with 1000w so I can now easily run off grid things like a toaster, electric kettle, and microwave. I also have the bonus of 2 additional USB ports and 2 additional USBC ports. A 12v socket, solar panel connections and a clear LCD display make using this product very easy.
Yes its heavy – but it should be! It has 1000w of battery power – so won’t come light. I think it looks smart too – the black and orange colours are pleasing to the eye and its easy to move around with its thick carry handle.
Charging is a doddle – you simply plug it into the 230v mains and away it goes. Failing that you can charge it via the campervan engine when its running. I haven’t used solar panels yet – I need to save up some more pennies first before I do – but that also looks like an easy operation.
I scoured the internet for the best battery bank money could get me – and this came out top of the tree
I shall be using it for all of my off grid camping for many years to come.
Great invention Jackery – you are saviours to those of us that do not have enough power in our campers when going off grid!
Keep up the great work!
For some time, I had been considering buying a petrol generator, but never made a purchase because of concerns about cost of fuel, exhaust fumes, air pollution, noise and no convenient outdoor housing for it.
Consequently, I just learnt to grin and bear power cuts until about March of this year, when I discovered Lithium power stations on the internet.
After doing quite a lot of research on both UK and American websites, I discarded the idea of buying one of the cheap and obscure branded power stations and drew up a shortlist of Amazon UK available power stations from the likes of Poweroak , Allpowers, Jackery and Bluetti.
Using criteria of design, charging and power out facilities, value for money and positive reviews, I finally settled on the Jackery Explorer 1000. The Jackery was always a front runner for me based on what seemed to be a good online review reputation for build quality and reliability and I finally decided to buy one in early April of this year when Jackery were offering an introductory price of 20% off normal retail.
Amazon delivered the Jackery to me, postage free, in Mid April and it now sits in my kitchen, doing sterling service.
Most of the time, it has phones, Kindle, laptops, a shaver, electric seed propagator and camera battery chargers plugged into it, which frees up mains plugs for other use. I also have some Outwell usb led bulb lights which I plug into it during power cuts and which provide more than adequate lighting throughout the ground floor of my house.
The Jackery often comes with me to my polytunnel and shed, where it powers a mains radio, a low wattage heater, electric drill and bench sander, when needed.
When this wretched virus is over and we can travel more freely again, I will resume my twice yearly trips to the South of England and use the Jackery to power an electric coolbox in the car during the 700 mile journey.
As far as design and function is concerned, the front panel of the Jackery is thoughtfully, clearly and logically laid out and I like the integral handle, which appears more robust than the folding handles on some of the competition.
At about 22lb in weight, the Jackery 1000 is still portable enough to carry around fairly easily and there is a solidity about the whole casing which gives confidence that it will last the distance and not fall apart easily or quickly. We’ll see.
Still puzzled by the little light on one end though. Neither fish nor fowl. Not really very useful Jackery, although I suppose the day might come when I need to use the flashing SOS function.
Overall, my experience of the Jackery so far has been entirely positive and I expect it to last for many years. It has presented me with no problems whatsoever to date and I am pleased that I purchased it.
Plus I would like to say thank you for giving me the opportunity to say how delighted I am with some of your products recently purchased, an E1000 & two Saga 100w solar panels. Even in cloudy conditions the Saga 100w panels charged my E1000 as you can see from the photo’s. I have baked a loaf, run a full size freezer (not at the same time), amongst other devices via the 240v sockets, charged many of my small items via the USB outlets provided. The solar panels have USB outlets which I have used when the E1000 is at 100% charge, so easy, and quick to set up. It is easy to see how these items from Jackery can make standby power at home or outdoor living a must have asset.
