One of my favorite things in all of YouTube is when Will gets animated about something unexpectedly cool like the units lifting the Model X.

[mfgxl]

Maybe it couldn't lift the Model X before because of extra weight with a full tank of gas. LMAO. Will, thanks for making the extra effort which switching the vehicles around. Love your happy demeanor!

[GavinStoneDIY]

I really like where these are headed. For people that want a plug and play system it’s nice for sure.

[petrag.]

Thanks Will, Solar is becoming more available and affordable because of people like you!!!❤

[fluxfaze]

Thank you for performing this exhaustive test of the Apollo 5K. Gearing up to rebuild my off-grid homestead destroyed in the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire, this will be the ideal portable solution for powering systems and tools during reconstruction, and then serve as the homestead’s power plant after project completion.

Before watching the video, I wanted to know the price. I was shocked to see it so high and almost "clicked away" But You have always provided the best reviews, and they are entertaining. This unit is by far is the best by its capabilities. Though I was dead set on the Eco Flow Delta Pro, This is the new contender. Thank you, Will, for all you do to provide us with your honest reviews.

[peterryan]

I wish other YouTubers were as thorough as you Will. Most will just accept what companies tell them then repeat it to us without correct testing procedures

[mannys]

Incredible review. I haven't watched many of your videos lately because most of it goes over my head but I was able to hang with you from beginning to end in this one. Your talent is amazing and over the years I have followed you and it just gets better. But one thing I am glad about is the you have retained your sense of humor. This is a product I've added to my list of possibilities.

WHAT A KID⭐️ SHOULD BE A MILLIONAIRE ANY DAY NOW😳😳😳😳

[dawgma]

Thank you Will ! following since the "toyota and skateboard days" i gained the courage to DY solar in my own homeless circumstance,
then was able to volunteer as a solar installer at one of the van build events and next year my own off grid project. Grateful for your dedication and perseverance to simplify and get results from manufacturers ! Cheers !

[thomaswalter]

This new unit is awesome! So many great features. Also very happy to see the AC500 lift both cars. I've been using one every day for about 2 months with my mobile car detailing setup and it's a beast. It'll run my Kranzle pressure washer, Eagle air compressor and Festool dust extractor simultaneously.

[jeffhenley]

Hello Will, You never cease to amaze me. You come across with a clear explanation it seems simple for you to compare the end results. Some time you get a little uppity but it's well chosen it's a clear sign of the have, and have knots. I have been following you from the beginning in the old classy motorhome. You came up with some incredible ideas as usual like using the Tesla battery. I'm just an old geezer that is yet to complete my system due to cost. I have been able to install for 250 W solar panels in conjunction with 2 MPPT controllers. I was never able to move up to lithium batteries I'm still running on lead acid and they just can't keep up. So that being said if for some reason you find yourself with a couple of extra lithium batteries that you don’t need, I would sincerely appreciated them. If not you take care and stay safe, thank you.

Wow, With a 118Kwh that's a small Sub Station, I loved the Bluetti EB Series but this thing is like and EB on Steriods, Nothing on the planet compares to this, It's like a Tesla in a Box, Great review Will, I think this thing has just changed the world of SoGens and Off Grid Power, I'm quite speechless not knowing what to think, It kind of Blitz's everything we know about SoGens, One thing for sure it's too big to be called a SoGen, I wonder what the 118Kw set up weighs and how big it is ??, Oh Thanks for the 2 Books on RV Solar Will, best books ever No fuss just real world Info. Great Video.

[SpankyJoeHusker]

They've now reduced the minimum VOC from 120 to 60 V! I noticed that it stated 60 online now, so I emailed them, and they confirmed that they did indeed reduce it to 60 V, "70 V real world". This is a game changer for someone like me who plans to use it in both a mobile and off-grid cabin situation. Won't have to tote around more PV than necessary just to generate the minimum VOC.

[plokijij]

As I said on Minute man prep channel when he reviewed them last week now having a plastic case instead of a metal case helps the voltage leakage issue!

[minutemansolar]

Great video! You have to touch the screen twice because the first touch is technically turning the screen brightness up but if you've set the base screen brightness all of the way up then you can't tell you're turning the screen on.

[clarencewiles]

Thumbs up 👍 this will cause other manufacturers to rethink their products abilities 😊

[BoujeeBoondocker]

You deserve/earned all the success you have procured.

I enjoy learning and living vicariously thru your videos!

[Tech-Dave]

This is one of your best reviews yet Will !! Thanks so much Neighbor
