Omg, thank you so much dude. I've been through two damn Jackerys, which after a year and a half DEAD and spent $500 and couldn't figure out WHY. Thank you so much ❤️.

I've been running my entire life's power needs off of Bluetti for many years now! I love Bluetti!!! Started with their suitcase EB240 (still a workhorse) and am now running my Cabin solely off the AC300 with a stack of 4 B300 batteries. I shove about 2400w of solar into them. While on the road during the winter I use the 
AC200p Max coupled with a B300 battery to run my Airstream trailer and all my appliances. Those two units combined has over 5000wh of storage and 2000w of power a perfect match for my trailers power needs. I use one 375w Panasonic solar panel that's mounted on the back of my truck to recharge the units as well as a backup AC300 + B300 that I keep in the back seat of the truck in case of emergency. The Bluetti lineup has been a complete lifestyle change for me and some much needed peace of mind. Not only that but Bluetti's customer service has always been top notch. Oh, add in Starlink and it doesn't get much better than that, although I'm sure they are both figuring out ways to make it better??? LOL Thanks Bob for all of your videos! Hope to see you on the road sometime in the future! 👋😎👍 Oh, and I gave away my Jackery products...

Tons of influencers still recommend Jackery products because they are getting paid affiliate commissions to promote their products. I applaud you Bob for being straight forward in your reviews and being honest about Jackery products compared to Bluetti which have been seen as second-hand when in reality are better quality and better priced than competitors.

Welcome to the Jackery bash video. I love my Bluetti EB3A and EB70 but I also have my Jackery 240, my first power station. Still works by the way.

Bluetti is awesome. One of my Jackery’s the screen quit working after 1 yr warranty was up. My 2 Bluetti’s work 24/7 for over 2 years now.

Merry merry Christmas

I’m gearing up for my first van trip, RTR 2023 and have been trying to research these battery banks for weeks. I was about to pull the trigger on a small jackery like this but you posted this video literally in the nick of time. Thanks, Bob! Shopping these bluettis now!

[edbaker]

Due to your and other recommendations I bought an EB-70 last year. I took on two trips last summer 2 weeks in Idaho and 1 week in Northern Nevada. The bluetti worked perfectly, it ran my refrigerator freezer all night and recharged with the solar panels during the day great product I am very satisfied with the purchase.

Bob has been a consistent believer in the Bluetti for a long time.

This general overview recap is so helpful, Bob. Gratitude here as I muddle along trying to get a set up that’s right for me. Thanks to you and team, and happy trails to all. 🐾🎶

[denisegiannakis]

You have become a gold mine of information for those who are in a desperate situation & without technical knowledge .lot's of love coming your way from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

If you are car living and going to gym/library/McDonald's etc a lot, I recommend smaller than 500wh. You will want to carry it in and out of places to charge.

[chuckb]

What a great video everybody should watch this

[Buck]

I have 3 Bluettis 3 Jackery 1 Ecoflow and 1 Anker I agree with everything you said Bob Thanks for educating us. Also Ecoflow is a good competitor to Bluetti and the new models come with a 5yr warranty worth checking out

[damonried]

I enjoyed the fact that this down to Earth review used equipment that literally just came in from the field.

CheapRVliving Thanks for the upload 8:54, hope your subs reaches 629K 😁. May God bless you, your family and all CheapRVliving fans 🤗🤗

[kingsoutdoors]

I need one for my vehicle.ill be living in it shortly. On a low set income . I have a 1000 watt inverter . Hopefully I get a deep cycle to get me and the dog by . Thank for sharing

[GinaKayLandis]

So glad you posted this, Bob! I have the EB3A and it's great for charging my phone quickly. I don't use it for much more. I was, however, struggling with what to use in my travel van! Because I want the power bank to run not only a refrigerator/freezer, but a space heater (in cool weather), and an AC unit like you show in this video (in warm weather), I just couldn't make up my mind. Sweet spot with the AC200p or (for me because of power wants haha) the AC200p MAX - perfect timing! Going to save up my nickle and dimes for this, and you have, as always, brought the good stuff to us!! Thank you again!!

[smisplacedalaskan]

This was exactly what I was looking for Bob. Thank you for the review and the explanations. Very helpful.

[scooterfpv]
