what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back in today's video we are checking
out a 716 watt hour power station from blue yeti this is probably one of the coolest ones that i've
seen so far so through this video we're gonna see what comes in the box the device and we are also
going to check a bunch of tools and what even a coffee maker uh laptop because you could take
this camping you could take this on a construction site so we want to see what this is capable of so
let's start the super quick unboxing first and see what comes in the box all right so the first thing
you're gonna find in the box is the user manual the user manual will definitely come in handy
because it will show you the output powers for all the plugs that we have on the front here it
will even give you some estimate usage times for different devices that you could um use with it
aside from that we get the power adapter this is one big power adapter this also has a fan inside
so whenever you're charging this there is a fan running in here and another fan running inside
of the device using this to charge the power bank from zero to 100 is done about four hours and a
half so much quicker than other ones that i've seen in the past but at the same time not the
quickest that um i've tried aside from that we also have a cable so you can charge the device
from your car's 12 volt outlet basically again this will take a bit longer than uh using this
one um once again but you could charge this in a car if you're on a long trip and aside from that
we get a cable so you can charge this from some solar panels so let's say that you are camping
or something for a few days you have on some solar panels you can charge this from the sun basically
without needing a power plug from a house or something like that so that's basically what
we get in the box with this all right so taking a look at the device itself well first of all this
is fairly heavy weights about 22 pounds so you're not gonna be holding this for an extended period
of time because it is heavy we have plastic on the front on the back of the sides at the bottom we
have four rubber legs so this way it's not gonna slide and we also have some cooling holes on this
side and on this side as i mentioned earlier we have a fan on inside it will turn on whenever
this um gets hot at the top we have a little handlebar if i may say and we also have a 15 watt
wireless charging pad so you can place your phone here your watch and you can charge it um that way
and of course on the front we have a little display that will show you
how much power you have the output and of course the input and then we have a variety of plugs so
we have two usbc ports some we have two usb a ports two dc out ports of course we have the
12 volt cigarette lighter and four ac outlets and also have a flashlight here the flashlight
could come in handy if it's night out for example in this way you can make some light
with that flashlight okay so i guess it's time to test out some tools i have a variety of things
right here we are going to start with this one so this one takes about 700 watts so this one
should use the most power out of everything on the table here so you basically plug this in
and you power on the ac outlets so like this i'm not sure if you can actually see the screen uh
here because it's too sunny but we'll basically take this opening so we have this and i'm gonna
cut a branch of this strip if it works obviously hopefully you can see me so i'm gonna put the
power station at the bottom here and i guess we'll cut this it may be a bit loud so keep that in mind
so i guess after a few minutes it stopped
we have a little error here it says short so let me power this off
and let's plug it in to another one let's see if we can keep going
okay so it should work again we'll see if we can actually manage to cut this
so it works but it stops every so often so i guess this requires more power than this
and can actually output for an extended period of time so something like this will work just for a
little while okay and we're back on the table next i'm gonna check out and see if this coffee maker
works this would be great if you go camping so you can have a coffee maker you plug it
in and can make your coffee in the morning i'm gonna have to set this up so i'll come
back in like a couple of minutes after i have this setup and we'll see if it works or not
okay so it took a few minutes to set this up but yes it is working if we look on the
display here i'm not sure if you can actually see it from the sun so we have the output
power right here so we know exactly how much power the coffee maker um is um pulling
so yes you could use this power station and a coffee maker at least a coffee maker like this
so you can make coffee while um camping next we're gonna unplug this and we'll plug something else
from the table here and see what else uh works with it okay we are moving on to this drill
this uses about 700 watts so kind of similar to the other one that we were doing earlier
so this one will work without any issues if we look on the display here well let me use this
so you can see the output power right there so whenever i'm using the drill
uh next we're gonna use this uh vacuum right here let's see if this one works
so we'll plug this one in as well
and this may get a lot a bit loud so keep that in mind oh so this one is not gonna
work so i think that one sucks way too much uh power we'll try that again no
maybe i'll unplug the drill see what happens if we unplug the drill
we'll power that back on and let's see if it works now
so this one um this reaction is basically not not gonna work this uses about 7.5 amps
okay next we are going to try this this one should work without any issues this
one only uses about 3.7 amps so this one should work without any problems
so no issues using something like this now if you remember the beginning of this video this didn't
work so this one needs um way too much power but you could buy something like this and then could
charge the battery pack for this one and you can use it that way so even though that other one
works you could um use this one of course you can charge any phones any laptops anything like that
even smaller power banks from it i mean if you go camping and you need a tv you can probably power
a tv from it as well not probably you can definitely power tv from it so yeah this is
the blue yeti 716 watt hour sun power station for what it is i think it's great we can power
a lot of things mostly if you go camping you're definitely not going to use these kind of tools
but on a construction site you may need a bigger run one that has a higher capacity and output
so there you have it this is the blue yeti power station
hopefully this video was useful thanks for watching and i'll see you guys in the next one
