I never make any decisions until I watch the next Will Prowse review. Take that to the bank! ;)

[mtg_hermit]

Did they ever fix the problem with charging the external batteries?

[deairreoh]

Thanks for pumping out these videos, I really really appreciate it!!!

[James-kesx]

Very interesting. I'm new to this technology. I just bought the AC 200 Max and one extra battery. It's just for a small apartment so I don't need a big huge solar panel arrangement. I'm a prepper so it's just for emergencies in case things go wrong. 45 minutes after I ordered it we had one of the worst thunderstorms in history, a tornado and a power failure. We've been having lots of fires here in Canada lately. So I wanted to be prepared in case.

[earthkind]

I love it already! Not the product. The way you're pushing limits on the testing. Great job Will!

[LADETROIT]

Thanks Will, this is the video I've been waiting for.. 55-year-old that just completed his first small solar project with your help. Now to the next level. starting with this Bluetti or the EcoFlow here in Vegas

[frantzgaspardco]

Wondering if they did the issues you talk about if yes let me know which one. Pleases.

[scottjustin]

For it's price, it should be something stable. If the touch sceen panel is unreliable, who knows what else won't work.

[breakdownbill]

Hi Will. Yesterday I received the Bluetti sp200 solar panels. They far exceed my expectations. I am going to get the Bluetti Max it is the unit I have long been waiting for. It is the only unit that will fit what I need perfectly

[kcfield]

Will. Your power station reviews are outstanding and unbiased. I wonder if you would consider doing a video comparing customer service quality between the major power station companies after purchase. Customer service responsiveness is a major factor in deciding which unit to purchase. Specifically: Which companies stand by their product when something goes wrong? How long does it take to get a response when a problem arises? Who has the best warranties? Is there phone support or just email support? How are the reseller and BBB ratings for the various companies, etc. Thanks for your consideration.

[ashlardarned]

I actually prefer the cables, instead of having integrated connectors forcing the user to only use the expansion in the stacked configuration.

[mzimmerman]

You have one of the best formats for reviewing products. Keep up the great work! (and thanks!)

[rangyea]

Will, I first find your channel about two years ago when considering doing a van build out for camping and surfing trips. Then life got in the way. I've just purchased a van and have begun to collect my hardware of all sorts the the build. From the first of your vids I watched I've always been amazed and impressed with your knowledge and presentation skills. Going forward you will be be main source of technical advice for all things electric! I hope your health is well take care and thanks for all your great work!

[reginaldjones]

Hey Will... You're dropping em like it's hot today! Thanks and great job. 👍

[demitaylor]

You have not ever let me down with your tests..they are timely and answ my questions before i have them..and usually i see you AFTER others promote the unit..THANKS FOR YOUR HONESTY..im looking into a titan

[plinytheelder]

I did see "The Professor" AKA "HOBOTECH" discussing the APP features for the AC200 MAX and noting it's possible to power down the units remotely but not being able to power them on. He too was concerned about the lack of this feature. He seemed to think this could easily corrected with a update.

[tomtompkins]

Just a note what you stated about the wires and the high stack and the weight and the potential for accidents is all valid. but you can also spread the weight out if you had a weight sensitive area that you were keeping this system. you could spread the batteries out from the generator and that could be a big advantage for some application say in RVs. That's probably a very limited use for that though.

[jimnjele.bean-dayone]

So if the expansion packs came back on when charging began or when the main unit was fully charged AND if the display had not locked up, this would be good to go....Thank you for the review and testing you do sir !! It helps the rest of us out immensely.

[rogerhargreaves]

😀 Nice advice. I’m looking forward to watching your review of the Eco Flow Delta Pro. Here in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 we use 240 volts on all equipment, just in case anyone visits. Oh, it’s not that 🔆🔆🔆 here, so bring a raincoat.
