Nice little Power Station/Bank

[Bigplumbs]

I know many of you with large boats will probably have a huge battery bank and Huge inverter. If however you are not that person a medium sized power Station just like the one below might be good to keep on board.
I have been looking for a reasonably priced one that is not to huge to lug about but also has reasonable capacity and can charge from my Solar panels easily after the solar Charge Controller.

I think for £195.00 I might have found just the thing

Here you go. Might help others to choose if they are in a similar situation

There was absolutely no need for your passive aggressive first sentence!

I think you totally misunderstood my point. It was simply to describe that this might be unnecessary for such people with larger boats. So there was absolutely no need for your over reaction based on your misunderstanding.

Really!
Should have kept to your point which was based on your need which had nothing to do with others large battery banks. I wasn't surprised in the slightest in your post as you've years of form doing that.

Perhaps understand that only I can know what I meant and it was not what you think. Perhaps remove that chip from your shoulder

Anyway. For those that understood the simple nature of my first post. This seems to be a very nice little power Station

Although heavy, this has turned out to be more useful than I originally thought.
Several people have ended up borrowing it.

That is certainly one Solution that you could call DIY

I don't get why people think anyone would find a value in a review which only involves watching products being taken out of a box.
Would it not be much better to put the product to use and review its quality after its performance has been tested over a period of weeks or months?

Literally every product you can think of - has many 'unboxing' videos on YT .... seems to be the modern thing.

Easy enough to search YT for users review instead of unboxing once item name is known.

There is a “market” for unboxing videos - usually either for products where the description/details online are pretty ropey so you aren’t quite sure what it consists of, eg does it come with the charger (mains or 12v), is the instruction manual any good, dimensions and weights etc OR for products with a very sleek customer experience where the content and presentation is part of the “value”.

If I was trying to build up a youtube following then I might well split into unboxing and review videos because I’d be using the stats from you tube to tailor my content to my audience interest and learning from that what gets most views/likes/subscribes/comments and therefore maximises my chances with the YouTube algorithm which in turn helps me monetise my content.

I did some (extemely niche) youtube channel management for a while at work - there’s a lot of effort required to try to constantly feed new content, drive traffic etc. Doing that with products which need “long term” review is even harder. If you really want reviews you probably want side by side comparison rather than “I bought this” but that adds more time and cost. Plumbs is competing in a marketplace (for video content / attention) where there are already at least half a dozen reviews of that exact product, some side by side with similar competitors. Thats already “me too”, if he waits to have “long term” review content/data that will have further diluted the significance of his video amongst the noise.

So whilst I’ve no interest in supporting BP rise to take over from Delos or push Mr Beast off his pedestal, I don’t think criticising his content is necessary. If you don’t want to watch it - simply don’t click it (9/10 I don’t) and if you find BPs self promotion with these threads dull, he’s helpfully adopted a really distinctive avatar so you are alerted to the likely toxicity!

Yes it would. But you are not fully understanding You Tube. People do You Tube for many reasons. Think about it

I do it because I genuinely want to share information on things I buy because I enjoy that. You are looking at it from a viewers perspective. Viewers are the users of You Tube and they must understand that it is the people who create the video that put in the work.

By the way this little video did actually tell you a lot about what I think is a very good value product in this line of things.

If you wonder about You Tube. Know this MrBeast has amassed a fortune of $700,000,000 from his channel and has 316,000,000 Subscribers. With that number of viewers he can influence many people and many things. With my Tiny little channel I actually get 31,000 views per month. That never ceases to surprise me
