  • QuestionHow long will this power a small 25 inch monitor?

    Asked by Clayton.

    • Answer Hi Customer, Thank you for your interest in the Jackery Explorer 290. A typical 25-inch monitor usually consumes about 20–40W. With the Explorer 290’s 292Wh capacity, you can expect it to power the monitor for roughly 7–12 hours on a full charge (actual time may vary depending on your monitor’s exact power consumption and usage).

  • QuestionWith this run a dorm refrigerator / freezer and a window unit ac?

    Asked by Seddie.

    • Answer Dear Customer, Thank you for your question! The E290 has a battery capacity of 292Wh and an AC output of 200W (rated) / 400W (peak). It may be able to run a small dorm refrigerator or freezer for a limited time, depending on the fridge’s power consumption. However, a window AC unit will likely exceed the E290’s capacity, as it usually requires more than 400W to start and run. For running both a dorm fridge and a window AC reliably, we recommend a higher-capacity power station. If you’d like, we can help you choose a model that better fits your needs. 📧 [email protected] 📞 +1-888-502-2236 (weekdays 9 AM – 5 PM PST) Best regards, Jackery Customer Support

  • QuestionWill this generator power a wet dry vac?

    Asked by mmeo.

    • Answer Dear Customer, Thank you for your question! The Jackery Explorer 290 has a 290Wh capacity and a maximum output of 290W. Whether it can power your wet dry vacuum depends on the vacuum’s power requirements. Most wet dry vacuums require 400W or more to run, especially during startup, which may exceed the Explorer 290’s output capacity. If your vacuum’s wattage is below 290W, the Explorer 290 could power it for a limited time. Otherwise, we recommend using a higher-capacity model like the Explorer 500 or Explorer 1000 for this purpose.

  • QuestionMay this apt generator maintain a refrigerator, TV, cell and operator an air fryer?

    Asked by Gina.

    • Answer Dear Customer, Thank you for your interest in the Jackery Explorer 290! The Explorer 290 is a portable power station with a 290Wh battery capacity and a 200W AC output (400W surge). It’s great for light-duty use, but it may not be suitable for powering all the appliances you mentioned simultaneously. Device Compatibility: ✅ Cell phone – Yes, can charge a phone multiple times ✅ LED TV (small to medium) – Yes, depending on wattage (~50–100W TV may run for 2–4 hours) ⚠️ Refrigerator – Short-term use only; most fridges need 100–200W continuously + startup surge ❌ Air fryer – Not supported, as most air fryers require 800–1500W, which exceeds the unit’s 200W output limit Summary: The E290 is ideal for small electronics and light appliances, but it is not designed for high-power kitchen devices like air fryers or for running multiple high-wattage appliances over extended periods. For a setup that includes a refrigerator and air fryer, we recommend a higher-capacity unit such as the: Jackery Explorer 1500 Pro Explorer 2000 Plus (expandable) Explorer 3000 Pro (for full-home or kitchen-grade support) If you'd like help choosing the right model based on your appliances, we'd be happy to assist.

  • QuestionCan the Jackery be used to power a sleep machine for sleep apnea?

    Asked by CBH1.

    • Answer Dear Customer, Thank you for your inquiry about using the Jackery Explorer 290 to power a sleep apnea machine. The Jackery Explorer 290 is a portable power station with a 290Wh capacity and a pure sine wave inverter, which makes it suitable for powering sensitive medical devices like sleep apnea machines. However, the actual runtime depends on your specific sleep apnea machine’s power consumption (usually measured in watts). To estimate runtime: Check your sleep apnea machine’s wattage (usually on the device or in the manual). Divide 290Wh by the machine’s wattage to get an approximate number of hours it can run on a full charge. For example, if your sleep machine consumes 30 watts, the Explorer 290 can power it for approximately 9 to 10 hours (considering some power loss during conversion). If you need longer runtime or want to ensure uninterrupted power overnight, you may consider larger models like the Explorer 500 or Explorer 1000. Please feel free to contact us if you need assistance selecting the right Jackery model or have any other questions.

  • QuestionDoes this generator charge a refrigerator. When your power it out. I looking to purchase ai indoor generator.

    Asked by Queen.

    • Answer Dear customer, Yes, the E290 can power a refrigerator during a power outage. It is designed to provide reliable backup power for essential appliances like refrigerators, lights, and small electronics. However, please note that the runtime depends on your refrigerator’s power consumption and the generator’s battery capacity. If you provide the wattage of your refrigerator, we can help estimate how long the E290 can power it. If you have questions about your specific power needs, feel free to contact us anytime.

  • QuestionCan this power station power a microwave ? If not one that I can purchase that will power on a microwave and price please

    Asked by Kaeni46.

    • Answer Dear Customer, Thank you for your question and for considering Jackery! The Jackery Explorer 290 has a rated output of 200W (400W peak), which is not sufficient to power a standard microwave, as most microwaves typically require 700W to 1200W of continuous power. If you're looking for a power station that can power a microwave, we recommend the following: 🔹 Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus – Rated Output: 2000W (4000W peak) Capacity: 1264Wh (expandable) Approx. Price: ~$1,199 USD ✅ Suitable for powering most standard microwaves. This model provides significantly more power and capacity, making it ideal for heavier appliances like microwaves, coffee makers, and portable heaters.

  • QuestionCan I run a ninja electric grill with this while tent camping?

    Asked by Ang.

    • Answer Dear customer, Thank you for your question! The Jackery Explorer 290 has a maximum continuous output of 290 watts. Most Ninja electric grills typically require 1,200 to 1,800 watts, which exceeds the capacity of the E290. Unfortunately, this means the Explorer 290 cannot power a Ninja electric grill while tent camping. For high-wattage appliances like electric grills, we recommend considering larger models such as the Jackery Explorer 1500 or 2000 Plus.

Therefore, it is not suitable to power a 700W microwave.

  • QuestionI have an armor all car vacuum cleaner, 2 HP Peak, with the following description : 120V 60 Hz, 5.5A, and I want to check which one of your product would support to run this vacuum cleaner, and for what duration of time ?

    Asked by Shaz.

    • Answer Dear customer, Thank you for your inquiry. Based on the specifications you provided for your Armor All car vacuum cleaner (2 HP Peak, 120V, 60Hz, 5.5A), it requires approximately 660W (120V * 5.5A). To run this vacuum cleaner, we recommend a Jackery Explorer model that can handle at least 660W of continuous output and provide enough surge capacity to support the vacuum's peak power requirements. Here are some suitable options from our product range: Jackery Explorer 1000: This model provides 1000W continuous output (2000W surge), which would be more than sufficient to run your vacuum cleaner. It can power your vacuum for around 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on the vacuum's actual power consumption and any other factors such as the battery's state of charge. Jackery Explorer 1500: This model provides 1500W continuous output (3000W surge), which is more than capable of running your vacuum cleaner, with a runtime of about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on similar factors. The exact duration will depend on your vacuum's actual power draw and how much battery charge is available in the power station. Please feel free to contact us if you need more information or have further questions about selecting the right model. Please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected] or call us at +1-888-502-2236 (Weekdays, 9 AM – 5 PM PST) if you need additional assistance. We’re always here to help!

  • QuestionCan I plug in a 19 inch TV, a hotplate, and a lamp?

    Asked by Nelson61.

    • Answer Dear customer, Thank you for your inquiry. The Jackery Explorer 290 (E290) has a 290Wh capacity and can power small electronics, such as a 19-inch TV, a hotplate, and a lamp, depending on the wattage requirements of each device. A typical 19-inch TV consumes around 30-60W. A hotplate typically uses between 1000W and 1500W, which might be too much for the E290, as the unit is designed to handle maximum 200W continuous output (400W surge). A lamp typically uses around 20-60W, which should be well within the capabilities of the E290. Given that the hotplate could exceed the maximum continuous output of the E290, we would recommend avoiding plugging it in simultaneously with other high-wattage devices. The TV and lamp can typically be powered together as long as their total wattage does not exceed the E290’s capacity. If you have specific power usage details for each of your devices, feel free to share them, and we can help confirm the exact compatibility! Best regards, Jackery Customer Support Team

  • QuestionWill this power a dual tray brother HL-L6200DW printer ?

    Asked by Laz619.

    • Answer Dear Customer, Thank you for your question! The Brother HL-L6200DW printer can draw up to around 600W when actively printing. However, the Jackery Explorer 290 has a peak output of 400W and a continuous output of 200W, which is not sufficient to support the high power surge typically required by laser printers like the HL-L6200DW — especially during startup or printing operations. If you need to power a laser printer, we recommend considering a higher-capacity power station such as the Jackery Explorer 1000 or above. If you have any further questions or need help selecting the right power station, feel free to contact our customer service team at [email protected] or call us at +1-888-502-2236 (Weekdays, 9 AM – 5 PM PST).

  • QuestionCan this run a sump pump?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hello, Thank you for your question! The Jackery Explorer 290 has a rated output of 200W (400W surge). Most sump pumps typically require between 500W to 1000W to start and run properly, which exceeds the capacity of the Explorer 290. So unfortunately, the E290 is not suitable for running a sump pump. Let me know if you’d like help finding a model that can support higher wattage devices!

  • QuestionWill the Explorer 290 run a Road Pro lunch box cooker that requires a 15 to 20 amp draw?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Dear Customer, Thank you for reaching out! The Jackery Explorer 290 has a pure sine wave inverter with an output of 200W (400W peak). The RoadPro lunch box cooker, which typically draws 15 to 20 amps at 12V, would require approximately 180W to 240W of power (12V × 15A = 180W; 12V × 20A = 240W). Since this exceeds the Explorer 290’s continuous output limit of 200W, we do not recommend using it to power the RoadPro lunch box cooker, as it may overload the system or trigger the protection mode. If you need help finding a more suitable power station, we’d be happy to recommend one!
