At a Glance

This comparison targets buyers weighing raw power and device coverage against portability and built-in UPS functionality. The Explorer 2000 Plus delivers 3000W of running power, double the Jump 1500X's 1500W, and its 2042 Wh battery holds nearly two and a half times the capacity of the VTOMAN's 828 Wh pack.

In compatibility testing across 53 common devices, the Jackery unit powered 47 while the VTOMAN handled 33, giving the Explorer 2000 Plus a clear edge for whole-home backup and high-draw appliances. Solar recharge reinforces that gap: the Explorer 2000 Plus accepts up to 1400W of solar input versus just 200W for the Jump 1500X.

The tradeoff is weight and bulk. At 36.2 lbs, the VTOMAN is roughly 25 lbs lighter, and its integrated UPS feature offers automatic switchover protection the Jackery lacks.
