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!

I recently picked up the Jackery 1000 with solar panels, and I couldn’t be more impressed. This portable power station is a game-changer for anyone who loves the outdoors or wants peace of mind during power outages. With a 1002Wh capacity and 1000W output (2000W surge), it easily powers everything from my coffee maker to my laptop and even a mini fridge.What really sets it apart is the solar charging capability. The SolarSaga 200 panels are lightweight, foldable, and surprisingly efficient—even on partly cloudy days. I was able to fully recharge the unit in under 5 hours with optimal sunlight, which is perfect for off-grid adventures.The design is sleek and intuitive. The LCD screen gives clear readouts, and the multiple output ports (USB-C, USB-A, AC, and 12V car port) make it incredibly versatile. I also love the built-in flashlight and the UPS mode, which keeps my devices running seamlessly during outages.Whether you're camping, tailgating, or just want a reliable backup at home, the Jackery 1000 with solar panels delivers clean, quiet, and dependable energy. It’s an investment that pays off every time the lights go out—or when the trail calls.

We had a bad storm here last night and downed trees killed our power around 7pm. Well, around midnight our low temperature freezer alarm on our kitchen fridge went off. So I got out of bed and was going to set up our gas generator to plug in the refrigerator, when I remembered that I bought this Jackery box. It's small, but I'm sure glad I bought it. It ran our full size double door fridge for around 6 hours and still has a 38% charge left. It definitely made my night last night a little easier. I recommend getting one as a gas generator back up. 😁

Safety with portability in mind, I’ve waited to use this product before writing a review and let me say I’m very impressed with this product, it charges all my electronics fast with many outlets as well as a built in led light. The capacity of charge is great, very easy to set up and use. This product is a must in case of any emergency or power outages.

UPDATED REVIEW 6-8-25This Generator is very nice over all. It is lighter than most with the same power output. The features are great with the light and many inputs and outputs. Also this unit has a battery type that will outlast many competitors out there. As with all of these generators of this type that put out a nice clean Sine wave that protects valuable electronics you will see some extra capacity loss when outputting AC Power. When the AC switch is pushed on and the light comes on even with nothing pluged in it will give a loss to power capacity. You must acount for this capacity loss when estimating run time. 22% and higher capacitywill be lost runing an AC device pluged in to the AC outlet even if that device is turned off and the AC swithed on the Jackery is turned on. I updated my review after realizing that every one of these generators in the market do this.Works good. But if you turn on the 120 AC switch your Jackery will lose up to 47% of your battery in a 24 hour time period. And that is with nothing connected to it. The AC outlets use almost as much battery as what is plugged in to it. See for yourself. Turn on the power, then the AC Switch with nothing plugged in. Come back in 24 hours to see up to 47% of battery gone. With AC switch off you will have no battery power lost.
