This video is a prime example why these companies send you so many goods to review AND your subscription numbers have grown as fast as they have ….. thorough and complete information presented in such a way that we understand. Kris, thanks for all you do for us!!!

[KD-ugjp]

Although an obviously HUGE amount of work went into this - we really do appreciate the time and work. In the past I've been so overwhelmed trying to learn about solar energy I haven't actually moved to buy anything. This is an enormous help, thank you!

Dude… I’ve been watching solar and battery videos everyday for the past 2 months and your little explanation of watt hours just made everything click!! Finally thanks

[mollynakamori]

I have a consistent brain block when it comes to understanding all this, but I always turn to you to help me get it into my brain. As always, I am gobsmacked by the bizarre amount of research and foot work you do on these videos. Thank you.

Kris, this video is the GOLD STANDARD for solar generator reviews: very well articulated, sharp, short, straight to the point, no bullshit, no repeating same informations over and over, thorough testing sheets, highly competent. I'm freaking loving your excellent work!

I’ve watched all your solar generator videos and taken a lot of info in about them. I will mention even with battery expansion you are still only limited to what the unit can support no matter the amount of storage. I decided to get a second unit rather then the expansion battery since it doubled amount of devices, and the amount of charging which reduces the overall draw off one unit. Pecron stood out to me by price point, storage, and charging. 1300 watts charging in less then 2 hours at peak. I will add the panels come with 16 foot cords so your generator can be safely inside the house. Again thank you for all that you do. Looking forward to your next video.

For someone that needs a book, "Solar Power for Dummies", your reviews are educational and contain the information I need to understand which unit will best serve my family. Thanks, so much!

[zahney]

Im a huge PECRON fan. I have 2 of their products and cant be more pleased with them. And their customer service is great. If you register their products you also get a 2nd year warranty.

Thank you for re-uploading this. I was beginning to think it was just me having the sound problems since nobody else had said anything when I commented. :) I didn't want to miss any of the video! So much good information and I'm glad you include warranty/customer service and cost rather than only looking at technical specs.

You always do great reviews. I got my Bluetti AC200Max about 1 1/2 years ago. It's saved me through 2 power outages already powering my 7 cu ft freezer and 18 cu ft fridge overnight. I have about 800 W of solar panels. I was on the list for an Inergy 1500 expandable charger, but there was a substantial shipping delay the ship date, it was only 1500 W and was Lithium Ion, not LiFePo4 so I went with the Bluetti kick starter. I'm sure there's newer and better units today, but I got what I need. Thanks again for all your Videos!

I just realized I robbed myself by not subscribing the first time I watched your video. Here I am again, and I just saw the wealth of information you have collected and are sharing. Your video is like a dozen reviews rolled into one, and now I'm robbing you. I have subscribed, liked, commented, and downloaded the spreadsheet!

I have a tremendous amount of Anker products in my home, between portable power bricks, to soundcore earbuds, to USB adaptors and so on. I'll say both their quality and customer service has been second to none, so this review putting the 767 on top doesn't completely surprised me as I've been eyeballing that unit since it was released and watching many reviews. I'll say I'm glad my own research was confirmed through this review as I respect your channel and content immensely. You have the rare talent of simplifying technical information into a format that's consumable for everybody. Thank you for what you do.

[danrieke]

Real good video, man. I'm at that point in my prepping that I need to dig into the power generator and solar panels. Really appreciate the dedication and hard work you put in on this. Helps so many of us!

[elizbathann]

Blown away at the details you’ve supplied us with and easy to understand explanation. Absolutely the best bar none, thank you for sharing 🎉

[michaelchownyk]

I’m pretty sure you are the best communicator of technical information that I’ve ever heard.

In 1993 I made a 1500 W solar generator that used a high capacity lead acid battery. The cost me $500 (odyssey battery) and I showcased it on national television in Canada live for 15 minutes. It’s amazing how the world has evolved.

I recently bought the Anker 767 and was greatly impressed with it. We also have the Ecoflow River 2 Max which is my go-to device for a very compact and light unit.

[designusai]

A very timely video. I was without power today for 5 hours due to wildfires here in Oklahoma City. I'm going to make good use of this info. Thanks.

[bjoburn]

Thanks for all you do to keep US informed. I purchased a couple of different products a few years ago now there are so many more to choose from and so much more to know to make better choices. At 75 still learning Thanks for your time and efforts to help us out appreciated

Started with the EcoFlow River Max in spring of 2021. Loved it for running the Iceco fridge (VL60S) and charging small devices (phone, tablet, smartwatch). Only issue was putting out the solar panel every other day and running the risk of not having power (and ruined food) if it was cloudy for more than a day. Upgraded to the Delta Max in December 2022, just before the Delta 2 hit the market. It runs my fridge and allows me to take my Keurig with me as well. Delta Max runs the fridge and coffee machine, River Max for charging the phone, tablet, AirPods and smartwatch. I've been camping with these two power stations for 5 days and still have 30-40% left on both upon returning home, without having to put out the solar panels even once. It has proven to be the perfect combo for my off grid camping needs.

Excellent review and comparison. Even though I have the Delta Max 2000, the Pecron still stands out for simplicity and price! Thanks for your hard work sir.
