The short answer
Jackery Explorer 100 Plus costs $2150 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- Allpowers R4000 holds 3391% more energy (3456Wh vs 99Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- Allpowers R4000 has 5744W more surge headroom (6000W vs 256W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Jackery Explorer 100 Plus is 103.9 lb lighter (2.13 lb vs 106 lb).
- Allpowers R4000 is rated for 3,500 cycles vs 2,000 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
Jackery Explorer 100 Plus
At 2.1 lb this is a laptop battery with an AC outlet. Genuinely pocketable, genuinely limited.
Best for: Air travelers and photographers topping up cameras and laptops.
Where it falls short:
- 128W output runs almost nothing with a motor or heater
- 99Wh is roughly one laptop charge
Allpowers R4000
A large expandable unit that undercuts the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 on price while matching its 4,000W output — the trade is a less established support network.
Best for: Whole-home backup buyers prioritising price per watt over brand.
Where it falls short:
- 106 lb
- Brand support and resale trail the big names
