My second test was supposed to be with the Gladle space heater that I reviewed earlier this year. It would be even longer if I set the fan to low speed. That’s amazing! She’ll be able to keep cool all day. When its battery is fully charged, Jackery’s gadget ran this fan on high speed for 8 hours and 42 minutes before it hit 20%. This power station can handle up to 300 W devices, and the WORX fan only drew 18 W. When the battery runs out, my wife can plug it into the Explorer 300 and continue to stay cool on a hot summer day. While it’s true that the WORX has its own battery and thus doesn’t necessarily need an external power source, in my testing it only ran for 2 hours on high speed. Like the Explorer 300, this fan is rugged, portable, and orange. My first test was with the WORX Power Share cordless fan that I tested last year. My plan for testing is to use the Jackery Explorer 300 power station with the various things that my wife will need at her vendor events. It’s a design that is both friendly and practical. All of its inputs and outputs are conveniently located on the front along with the LCD display. Jackery’s line, however, is distinctive with its gentle, rounded edges, bright orange coloring, and large carrying handle. Like many power stations, the Jackery Explorer 300 is shaped like a large rectangular brick. Input: DC input from wall charger, car charger, or solar paneslĮven though power stations are commonly used while camping, Jackery is careful to note the Explorer 300 is not waterproof.

Jackery is a Chinese company with a headquarters in California who “ believe in making electricity portable, clean, outdoors-oriented, and accessible.” What’s in the box? It has an LCD display and a convenient handle for carrying. It can charge from various sources and dispense power from three different types of ports. The Jackery Explorer 300 is a power station, essentially a hefty battery for powering and charging other gadgets when you’re far away from power or when the power goes out. In this review, I’m checking out Jackery’s Explorer 300 to see if it’s an ideal choice for my wife to haul around to these special events. In the summer she needs a fan, in the winter a heater, and at night some lights, and she always needs a place to recharge her phone.

They are often outdoor events, where she sets up under a tent thus, she has a need for some portable power. My wife is a direct seller, which means she often spends evenings and weekends at craft shows, church bazaars, and holiday fairs selling her wares. While that is a fine use for one of these gadgets, we have a somewhat different need for one of these at our house. Whenever you look through the marketing material for these stations, they always have pictures of people camping.
