This was newly purchased, so I can't speak to longevity, but that's rarely an issue with battery-based generators (unless the battery is bad). I have a nice 3500W gasoline-powered generator, but it's an effort to set up - and one of the issues I have is a garage that ONLY has a powered overhead door and no other entry and the former owner lost the key long ago (and she said the key didn't work anyway). So on a power failure - how to get the door up? I can open a window from one bedroom into the garage, but it's a 6' drop to the floor and at 78, I'm getting a bit old to climb through a small window to do that! This generator operated FLAWLESSLY - I ran an extension cord to the outlet that the overhead door was plugged into, turned off the 40amp garage breaker in the house (in case power got restored - don't want to back-feed the generator!), and plugged a male-to-male extension (hard to buy now as idiots were electrocuting themselves with it, so you might have to make your own) into the extension cord and Jackery Generator. Hit the garage opener and Voila, door goes up and down easily - not seeming to even drain the battery much at all. This will be a life-saver for the next power outage, as if it's extended, I need to get OUT of the garage to go to town to get more gas for my gas-powered generator. And for SMALL outages, this little unit will keep WiFI, TV, some lights going with minimal effort - and might even keep my Fridge going for several hours too. And I will bring this with me when I go boondocking in my little camper - especially since I have a 100W solar panel that should be able to charge this battery up!

Truly an amazing product! We were looking for a portable generator to have in the car to run our car fridge when we had to park and leave the car for awhile. Not only did this last for the 6-8 hours that we needed it too but it lasted for close to 24 hours on one charge. It charges quickly and is almost completely silent. Our cooler is louder than it is! If you are looking for a portable generator look no further. Its power output it just as described and its design makes it easy to travel with in any size of vehicle. Comes with both chargers for AC and 12v!

I’m not going to go over specs since it’s well known. Just the good and the bad.I took measurements of the AC and DC power outlets and here’s what I found. Pictures show that 2 similarly rated solar panels are charging at 205 watts, which means the built in MPPT charge regulator is working effectively. The AC power is probably better than the quality of your home AC outlets served by your utility company. The sine wave is pretty much perfect without artifacts as seen on my oscilloscope. The frequency is a rock solid 60 Hz with a rock solid 120 volt AC output on most loads. That’s refreshing because some of these so called solar generators put out lower voltage. The DC cigar outlet puts out 13 volts which is adequate, but would have liked to have seen 13.8 volts which would be standard for automotive accessories and radio gear like Ham equipment which likes a solid 13.8 volts in some cases. Fan noise is much better than other brands with similar specs. Probably because they are using a larger fan at lower speeds to cool the inverter power supply. Overall I am very happy with the fit and finish, including the new fold down handle and flat square top. The only complaints I have are as follows:Jackery really skimped out on the USB ports, giving you only one USB A which is ridiculous, and two USB C ports which is just okay. They could have easily doubled that for whatever it costs to make it into a better, more convenient charging station. As I mentioned above, it would have been better to have the DC car charger port put out a more standard 13.8 volts DC. Lastly, it would have been much more practical to include an Anderson Type DC outlet for powering DC equipment at up to 20 Amps instead of the antiquated cigar outlet that can only handle 10 Amps or about 120 watts which is very limited for higher power consumption equipment such as radio equipment, etc.I love the fact that Jackery is finally moving to LiFePO4 battery chemistry which allows for up to 4000 charge cycles (to 70% of original capacity) as per the manufacture specifications. That’s a little optimistic, but it’s much better than some other Lithium ion technology that specifies around 500 cycles. I also love the very fast charging at 1000 watts with a 1200 watt option for super fast charging. The charger is conveniently built in to the unit, so no more power supply bricks to carry around, or worse, to forget at home.The users manual isn’t great, and the “Battery Saver” mode isn’t clearly explained, but it’s a fantastic way to dramatically increase the overall service life of your Jackery by limiting your charge to 85% and limiting discharging to the 15% level. You can change this to get 100% of your battery capacity when needed, but at the expense of overall number of charge cycles. This puts you in control, and is a very welcome and useful feature. I highly recommend this model E1000 V2 by Jackery. It’s all most people will need.

The Jackery 1000 v2 worked great for using a cpap with humidifier for 7.5 hrs and still had 67% remaining power. The power station took 3.5 hrs to fully charge on AC wall outlet when I first received it and it had 28% on it. Don't know yet how long it will take to charge in RV camper using a generator plugged into camper and AC wall outlet, haven't been out camping.

Yes, I received mine today. Shipping was fast and packaging was perfect. I would suggest that, in the future, Jackery uses a blank shipping box to house the product box. The way theft happens these days, it is no one's business what is in the box. Charged it first thing. It went from 30% to 100% in a little over an hour.My uses for things like this are simple. I use them for charging small things like phones and computers, things like that. Powering a house or camper, a camping trip are not concerns for me. For me, it is being able to do things when others cannot. This Jackery will allow me to plenty. What sold me the most was the handle. There are many others that can be had, but this handle was my selling point. It is always the little things, isn't it. At 23.8 pounds, or 10.8kg., people should be aware of what they will be carrying. Not everything is for everybody, so be aware of the non-technical issues. For my needs, this was the right choice. Hopefully I never need it, let's see what happens if I do.
