I would say it’s a good deal. The 200 watt panels are what is needed though. And they are expensive.. I have the 2000 and love it for camping and short term power outages.
Looks like other websites also have it on sale.

Do not order from them!!! Major scam company. They claimed I never returned a $2000.00 generator. Stopped answering my emails. Took me three months to get my money back. Thankfully I had all the Fedex return info and the credit card company backed me up. It is one guy acting as a middle man. Buy direct from Jackery!!!

I’m not seeing the value proposition on these solar battery units compared to a small gas generator or vehicle mounted power inverter. A Honda 2200 generator is $1300 and runs for 11 hours on one gallon of gas, I used to use mine to power my house (lights, refrigeration, boiler for heat and hot water). On a single 5 gallon gas can it ran for more than 50 hours. I’m sure there is a place for these solar units with the hardcore camping crowd, but I think most these units will sit in the garage/basement and seldom used. They have become the trendy accessory on some of the offroad forums.Looks like other websites also have it on sale.

I Googled it because the original post had no link so I didnt know what a Jackery Explorer was.
I also don't see the value in paying $1800 for this thing. But I also live in MA, not the middle of nowhere or a place where entire towns can be destroyed by a tornado. So maybe it has a place.
Some people use these as “no permit required” solar installs. No backfeeding, and you can use the battery as a bit of energy storage to utilize the panels better similar to how net metering works.
I have a small one, eco river pro I think. Really handy for taking on the go, runs angle grinders etc. Can run the traeger for a few hours + solar indefinitely. Any bigger and I’d rather do a more permanent install, it’s convenience is it’s size

Yeah, these are great for camping which is what we mainly use it for. We lose power often where we live and it's normally for 4-6 hours. I keep it in the living room. Powers everything we need to keep the internet going, watch netflix movies, charge our devices and power the Keurig for some fresh coffee.... I have the gas generator for the fridge, freezer, furnace and well pump if the power will be out longer. The Honda gas generators are awesome. Campgrounds have restrictions on them though at night despite how quiet they are. These work perfect in that case. Especially if you are camping on the beach with direct sunlight.

As stated a generator would be the play in that case

I ordered two packs of these. I’ve had a hard time finding decent socks at a good price. My wife got me the Bombas socks, but the heels wear through fast.

I have a few pairs of those too. Half of the ones I have are very tight and uncomfortable, the others are ok.

Buttons and pleats???? I prefer the LAPD version - Smiles and Cries.
They are. I've had to move on only b/c I can't do wool. I just can't. Especially in winter.
Turns out I must be mildly allergic. I've moved on to Paka alpaca socks. DAmn they are soft. Time will tell if they are durable.waehrik

The Kirkland wool blend socks at Costco have been pretty good. This latest batch reduced the wool content so time will tell if they're as durable as the past ones, but they're still comfortable and well padded.

Socks are tough for me since my feet are size 16 and my legs basically go straight into my feet with minimal tapering. My calves aren’t small and I try to avoid the constriction rings from the elastic, so I need that Goldilocks pair that are long enough for feet, large enough for ankle/leg, durable, and not too tight. I will check Costco and give theirs a shot if they are sized for 16. Thanks.
Size 15 4E here. I quit wearing socks years ago.

Costco's socks (57% merino wool) are good for daily use in footwear that you wear regular athletic socks with. Amazon socks (80% merino) are thicker and are better suited for hiking, skiing, camping, and friday night movies.
As far as cheapo amazon socks go, I've been wearing them for years, tested them through the ringers, and they're still holding up great.

Been there, bruddah. While my shoe is only a 10.5/11, my calves are a 48 or something. Big calves (for no reason) and minimal ankle taper. If I wear over-teh calf socks (which actually stretch nice) the top sock line lasts. . . . . 5-6 hours after I take teh sox off. Even the comfy ones I've got on now - will bother me by 8pm.
This isn't an issue in teh summer. No socks after work, light stretchy dress socks most of the time. But Oct-May - life sucks. I may need to try a sock in a larger size just to fit my legs.
You have 48" calves with a 10.5 shoe size?

I really like the Bombas socks, they fit very well and don’t leave rings. Some pairs seem to last ok while I go through others at the heel in a month or so. No problem wearing them all day.
Those worked well for me.
Currently my favorite pair is a pair of under armor running socks, I've had them for a year now and they still feel new.

Feels like it.
Size 10.5 is not 10.5". Nor is a 42 jacket 42" in any measurement. I just made up a number. Let me put it to you this way: In 5 years going to a personal trainer, we have never ever EVER worked my calves. Ever.
