Jackery Explorer 2000 Portable Power Station Review: Is it worth buying?
The Jackery Explorer 2000 provides a very practical emergency power supply solution in the event of power outage. It's light enough for portable outdoor activities, of course, provided that you can withstand its weight.
Today, electronic devices, peripherals and internet connections have become an integral part of work, career and daily life. From computers, mobile phones to routers and smart appliances, we are more interconnected than ever. While this highly interconnected impact is debated throughout the industry and academia, one thing is widely accepted: We need reliable sources of electricity to stay online.
If this power supply is portable, quiet and efficient, and at a reasonable price, there is more reason to consider including it in your life.
If you, like me, live in an area with frequent stormy weather, and power outages are not a question of whether or not, but a question of when, then you are perfect for using a portable power station. It keeps you online during power outages, while also providing electricity for camping, activities and work sites.
Among many brands and models, consumers have numerous choices in terms of reliability, choice and cost. Jackery is a well-known brand in the portable power industry and they sent Jackery Explorer 2000 for my review.
Jackery Explorer 2000 is a portable power station with a size similar to an ordinary ice bucket. Promoted as “small and powerful”, Jackery is one of the lightest and smallest lithium-ion iron phosphate power stations on the market, with multiple power interfaces, fast charging and portability.
Jackery Explorer 2000 is packaged in a very large box and is well-packed with a padding lined to ensure safety during transportation.
The only thing in the box is Jackery Explorer 2000 itself and the AC charging cable. There are no extra accessories, only the device itself and the power cord.
After getting it, I can tell that the Jackery Explorer 2000 is not a cheap product. It embodies excellent quality in every aspect and although I didn’t use it on a busy work site, its robustness is reassuring.
It is perfect for camping trips or home renovation projects. In my tests, the Jackery Explorer 2000 performed well in a variety of environments.
Speaking of its construction, if you just browse the technical specifications, I'll remind you that the Jackery Explorer 2000 weighs nearly 40 pounds. If you have trouble moving such heavy items, moving the Jackery Explorer 2000 can be a problem.
The Jackery Explorer 2000 comes with a sturdy flip handle for easy carrying. Unlike the Explorer 5000 plus model, this power station does not have built-in wheels.
Apart from the charging cable, all interfaces are located on the front of the device for easy use. It also has a large and bright display, with text easy to read and understand, making it easy to view battery power and power output.
The Jackery Explorer 2000 also includes a powerful built-in front panel light that offers three settings: Standard, Bright, and Flashing (for emergency signals).
I love this feature, it is perfect for navigating in the dark when camping or power outages, at least until you set up other equipment and lighting.
The versatility of Jackery Explorer 2000 is also reflected in the charging options, with four options:
In my test, I asked Jackery to test the AC charging method after almost completely discharged. The difference between emergency supercharger and standard AC charging methods is small.
Both methods are very good, but I don't think which one is better.
Jackery offers separate solar panels ($479, or as part of the Explorer package) for outdoor charging.
I didn't use these panels in my review, but I've heard some positive reviews about Jackery solar panels. Especially for handling large charging loads of large power tools and keeping the Jackery Explorer 2000 fully charged for business days.
There is also a car charging option. While I haven't tested this option, I'm very grateful that it's available without any other options.
A common trend among power station manufacturers is to provide brand-specific applications to control functions and monitor power. The Jackery application is simple and practical, allowing you to synchronize Jackery Explorer 2000 over a Wi-Fi network.
In my environment, I want to test the versatility and ease of use of the Jackery Explorer 2000 when power is completely outage in my apartment and work life.
To simulate this, I fully charge the Jackery Explorer 2000 using the AC charging option and then run various devices directly from the power station for a few days.
I just used Jackery Explorer 2000 to keep my refrigerator running for over 10 hours. Running such a large appliance does cause the power station to be almost completely discharged, but if solar panels are added, this time can be extended.
Jackery said that the Explorer 2000 can charge mobile devices such as mobile phones and laptops dozens of times after one charge. I ran my router, Mac Studio, and Xencelabs for seven hours, and the remaining battery was enough to charge my iPhone and iPad.
While I suspect I won't use my Mac Studio and tablet if the power is out, it's nice to know that I can boot up and surf the internet when needed. Being able to run important medical equipment in the event of a power outage can also bring peace of mind.
If you want to know how long the various appliances in your life run on the Jackery Explorer 2000, Jackery provides an emulator on its website that allows you to enter the total watts and view the expected run time on a fully charged power station. My test results are roughly consistent with Jackery's calculator results, slightly different.
Jackery Explorer 2000 runs very quietly. I can hear a faint sound only when the device is running, and only in a quiet room. This is a great feature.
It's time to solve a problem: retail price. The Jackery Explorer 2000 retails for $1499 and includes only the power station itself and nothing else.
A set of Jackery solar panels retails for $479.00, and other accessories such as Jackery handbags need to be purchased separately. At this price point, some accessories will be better, even if the solar panel option is not necessarily required.
Jackery Explorer 2000 is portable, but quite heavy. For those who need it, the Jackery Explorer 2000 is worth buying. It's the best portable power station I've ever used, and the versatility of the Jackery Explorer 2000 makes it a versatile player for travel, work and play.
I have installed this power station in my home office as an uninterruptible power unit that can be used in the event of a power outage. I love the sense of peace of mind that you don’t lose hours of work results when you’re out of power.
If you have a sufficient budget, I recommend choosing Jackery’s set, which includes solar panels, as it adds value. If I find myself using Jackery often outside my apartment, I would buy my own panels for travel and power outages.
If you need a portable power station, the Jackery Explorer 2000 will serve you well.
