VTOMAN Jump 1500X Portable Power Station 1500W (3000W Peak), 828Wh LiFePO4 (LFP) Battery Powered Generator with Expandable Capacity, 3x Pure Sine Wave 1500W AC Outlets, 2xPD 100W, 3x Regulated 12V DC

I got VTOMAN Jump 1500X to supplement my Jackery Explorer 1000, which I bought for power failures. Recent ones have lasted up to 4 hours. My 2000w gasoline generator is noisy and I have to keep it outside with some heavy duty 50 foot cables. And the last power outage where I used it was during the rain. So, if a power failure is 8 hours or less, I can use indoor battery only.I was considering another Jackery when I heard about the VTOMAN Jump 1500X which can do 1500w continuous, with only a small capacity difference (825 vs. 1000). The VTOMAN has a companion secondary battery, but I haven't needed that yet, but it's nice to know I can upgrade the capacity later.The VTOMAN price was only 2/3 the Jackery. With my office, I have a laser printer which can draw 1100w while printing and so I went with the VTOMAN which can stand up to 3000w surge. I can also plug my full size fridge into it and there's no problem even if both were to surge at the same time.The VTOMAN uses LiFePO4 cells which should last longer. However, they are heavier, so a sturdy and comfortable handle is a requirement. I carried it out to the back yard to power my electric lawn mower w/o fear of running over a cord to the house.The unit also has much nicer lights compared to the Jackery which only has a cheap old style single bulb. The VTOMAN lights can light up a room and would be handy on a camping trip.The outlets are nicely spaced and the a/c adapter/charger can do 180w vs. the Jackery's only 139.The only thing I like better on the Jackery is the display lists both input and output watts. The VTOMAN display is larger and easier to read and instead includes an estimate of the remaining time to a full charge OR the remaining time when powering output. It uses blinking to indicate charging or discharging.Being able to both charge and discharge simultaneously, I don't switch over to the grid when the power returns. I wait an extra hour to be sure it's stable.I did have a question of the vendor and was able to get an email response quickly.Overall, I'm quite pleased with my purchase.

This is great I have a gas generator l used after Helene and wished I had some more power as I rationed my gas and run time for seven days. I test ran it with a 1500 watt space heater and it really ran down the battery hooked it up to a 5000 btu window ac unit and it worked great. Fridge was as not a problem. My only regret was not getting the 200 watt solar panel kit. I got the 100 watt kit and estimated it would charge in around 8 hours as advertised depending on sun intensity. Overall seems a very good product.

My husband has a pond which he wants a back up energy supply availabe for it. Using the generator and solar panel is an affordable option to protect his stuff in the pond. The battery life is perfect and is lightweight. Great generator

We are going camping this fall and the campsite is without electricity. I decided to test it first using my C-pap machine. (This was the main reason for purchasing this unit.) We are camping two nights.The unit was charged to 100% prior to use, after 6hrs 45 min of sleep it had only 35% battery capacity left. This means it will last about one-one and a half nights using a c-pap depending on your model. Mine is a ResMed with a humidifier. The unit weighs about 40 pounds.Overall I’m happy that we have it in an emergency I just wish it held a little more power.

Great solar generator system! The system arrived ahead of the schedule with an approximately 75% charge. It was well packaged in three separate boxes that were easily able to be saved and reused for long-term storage. The instruction materials were easy to use, and therefore setup was easy to complete. I highly recommend this package to anyone looking for a solar generator.

I like it! Working well so far.

Edit: it has been a week since I emailed Vtoman to resolve my issue, no response whatsoever. Today I tried the phone number, it connects and immediately hangs up. There is no customer service, warranties are useless, DO NOT BUY FROM THIS MANUFACTURER, THEY HAPPILY TAKE YOUR MONEY BUT WONT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT, OR HONOR THEIR WARRANTIESI bought my 1500 Jump almost a year ago for everyday use in my nomad life. I had a very small fridge to keep running, and some small electronics to charge, nothing this power station couldn’t handle easily. Alas it doesn’t seem up to even that.Pros: At time of purchase it was the best deal for my dollarCons: The port for the power input is tight, so grabby I have only managed to get the plug out twice since I got it, with great effort. This last time it left the yellow thing in the port, now I have a questionable cord that I don’t dare use.Not that it matters, the power supply is not taking a charge anyway. This is the second time I have found it dead, no display, no lights, nothing. The first time I gave it a couple days and tried again, it worked, but now that my only input plug is damaged I can’t try that again.On numerous occasions I have gone to bed after checking it, finding between 45-75% power left, and running only a small fridge on 12V in eco mode, hardly any drain at all during the night, in the morning it’s drained, screen shows Lo and my fridge is off. Why?As a nomad my power station is subject to temps, per the manual the range is 32-113F and I am within that range.The jumper cables are a joke. The clamps barely have anything to grab the battery posts with, and the cable is so short you have to balance the power supply, heavy and bulky, right on your engine to get them to even reach the battery. Assuming the weight doesn’t crack all those plastic covers it’s sitting on, it requires a second person to hold it steady while you try the key, and then it couldn’t even jump the darn thing.Would I buy this brand again or recommend to a friend, no. It has given me a hard time way too often, and from what I read online I’ll be lucky to get a response from customer service even though it is still under warranty.
