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

Beats the Jackery and is 2/3 the price
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.

Quality, value and versatility
Shopped a lot of emergency energy options and Votoman offered all I was looking for with the best value and options. Packaged well, shipped within a day of ordering and arrived earlier than promised. I find the quality to be exceptional for the main unit, backup battery and secondary main units I purchased. Solar panel was also top notch. All power stations arrived charged to 85% and charged to 100% rapidly. Votoman offers the best battery on the market. I now have back up power with the capacity and versatility to run my heater, fridge, freezer, gas fireplace with blower along with my starlink and tv plus a way to recharge even if electric power is out. Ready to be self sufficient if ever needed.

Came in very handy for power outage
I was looking for something safe I could use besides a portable generator that I am not sure how to use, this was very convenient and came in handy when we went through a hurricane recently in Texas and were out of power for days! It allowed me to use small kitchen appliances, a box fan, charge laptops/phones/tablets, and also a lamp. It lasted through the night with the fan then I would charge either in my vehicle or somewhere that had power to recharge for the next night. It is a little slow to charge in the car (as expected) but it was otherwise quick to charge.
