I’m a disabled lady living on only $900/month. So I certainly cannot afford a gas powered generator and the gas needed or repairs to carburetors etc. I’m also sole caregiver for my elderly Mom. My mobility is limited, as is hers. We live in Florida where hurricanes and power outages from regular storms are common. The older I get the harder the struggle. So, I make sure to prepare for bad weather season. I desperately wanted a 500 or a 1000 Jackery however it just wasn’t in my budget. This Jackery Explorer 300 Plus wasn’t in the budget either but I made it work since we are predicted to potentially have a very active hurricane season this year and I need to be able to keep Mom and myself comfortable without having to leave our home.
I am a collector of Ryobi One+ tools, I have their mid size whisper hybrid fan and the smaller fan as well as their am/fm radio and lights. I have many batteries for them all. This little portable solar generator not only charges our iPads and iPhones it also keeps my ryobi batteries charged!!
I purchased it with the 100w Solar Saga solar panel and tested solar charging today. Initially the generator arrived first so I charged it up with my houses electric. The next day my solar panel arrived. So, I spent the past 5 days trying to gently drain the battery so I could test solar charging. I used it for a led lamp every evening, my iPad streaming Netflix all day every day and charging my iphone. It took 5 days to get down to 45%.
Today I finally setup the solar panel and I went from 45% to 99% in 2 hours and 12 minutes. I’m amazed!!
If you’re like me and just want something for those unexpected power outages and cannot maintain a gas powered generator then I highly recommend this unit!! It’s amazing!
Don’t second guess yourself…. Just buy it.
Thank you Jackery for the piece of mind you’ve given me knowing I can keep my elderly Mom cool and connected during a power outage.
