At a Glance
This comparison targets buyers weighing raw power and device coverage against portability and long-term battery life. The Explorer 3000 Pro delivers 3000W of running output and 3024 Wh of capacity, powering 47 out of 53 tested devices.
The Jump 1500X covers 33 of those same 53 devices with 1500W and 828 Wh, less than a third of the Jackery's stored energy. Where the VTOMAN unit stands out is longevity and flexibility: its LFP chemistry is rated for 3000 cycles versus 2000 for the NMC-based Explorer, it supports battery expansion, and it includes UPS functionality for uninterrupted home backup.
Solar recharge favors the Jackery on input ceiling (1400W max vs. 200W), though the Jump 1500X fills its smaller battery in roughly 8.3 hours. The tradeoff is clear: the Explorer 3000 Pro scores 93 to the Jump 1500X's 61 but weighs nearly 28 pounds more at 63.9 lbs.
