What reviewers say about the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2

Only TechRadar's hands-on field test qualified among whitelisted testers; no other whitelisted outlet had a review of this exact model. TechRadar scored it 4.5/5 overall, praising the compact updated design, near-silent operation (under 22dB when charging), seamless UPS backup and solar/fast-emergency charging, while flagging the 1500W output ceiling, just-over-10kg weight, lack of weatherproofing and the missing wireless charging pad.

Tested by TechRadar

Consistently praised

  • Compact, well-built design with streamlined fold-down handle
  • Near-silent operation (kept under 22dB when charging)
  • Seamless UPS power switching for home/workshop backup
  • Solar and fast emergency charging (full charge in ~1 hour)

Commonly flagged

  • Limited to 1500W output — can't run standard kettles/irons
  • Not weatherproofed
  • No wireless charging pad
  • Over 10kg and expensive — not as portable as a power bank

Where reviewers disagree No cross-source comparison is possible: only one whitelisted tester (TechRadar) covered this exact model, so every point rests on a single reviewer. Findings come from real-world field testing (photo/video shoots, workshop 3D-print UPS backup) rather than lab-measured usable capacity or round-trip efficiency benchmarks.

the Jackery Explorer 1000 V2 is one of the best portable power stations around, a solid choice and one of the most robust and reliable options available.
it's a shame there isn't wireless charging built in, as seen with some other power stations.
some appliances will exceed this, so standard kettles and irons, you won't be able to power through this power station.
