What they say
VTOMAN Jump 1800
- No owner thread outside VTOMAN's own subreddit names the current 1,408 Wh Jump 1800, so this reads the earlier 1,548 Wh-rated Jump 1800 sold under the same name.
- In r/solar one owner's new Jump 1800 would not charge from its wall charger, and VTOMAN offered to swap it for a Jump 1500 rather than another Jump 1800; a commenter's Jump 1800 failed the first time it was needed in the field (August 2024).
Dabbsson DBS1300
- No owner thread on the DBS1300 itself was found beyond one r/SolarDIY commenter who bought one on Amazon with two 120 W panels and was "starting to doubt" it (2023).
- In the same r/SolarDIY thread a DBS2300 owner's unit began throwing overload and error codes after two weeks, and a firmware update shut it off mid-install before Dabbsson sent a return label (November 2023); in a 2026 r/SolarDIY post an owner whose DBS2100 Pro solar connector melted under warranty had sent more than ten emails with no reply.

What they say
VTOMAN Jump 1800
- Both written reviews test the earlier 1,548 Wh-rated Jump 1800.
- The Gadgeteer, which VTOMAN supplied and which earns commission through store links and passes on a VTOMAN code, measured a 328.5 W wall charger, found wall and solar input do not add together because the unit has one charging circuit, drew about 79 percent of rated capacity on AC, and found the fans loud (April 2025).
- Active Gear Review, which earns commission through store links, timed a full charge from empty at about five hours, ran a refrigerator for nearly seven hours from 85 percent during an outage, and measured 54.9 dB at two feet while charging (June 2025).
Dabbsson DBS1300
- No web tester has published measured results for the DBS1300.
- TheSolarLab, which links retailers with its own discount codes, found its DBS2100 Pro delivered 82 percent of rated capacity but overheated and shut down at 30 percent on a first full-load run, took nearly 2 hours to charge and got no answer from Dabbsson's support line (undated, read October 2026).
- Bob Vila's tester, who links the unit on Amazon, charged a 2000L from empty to full in just over 90 minutes and ran a refrigerator and freezer for 24 hours (September 2025).

What they say
VTOMAN Jump 1800
- Every channel tested the earlier 1,548 Wh-rated Jump 1800.
- There's A Trick For That, in a video marked as paid promotion, drew about 1.17 kWh, charged from empty in 4 hours 44 minutes against VTOMAN's 4 hours, found the unit turns itself off after hours with no load detected, which could cut a cycling refrigerator, and saw the inverter drop its voltage rather than shut off above 1,800 W (March 2026).
- Eric Hernandez, which passed on a VTOMAN promo code, drew 1,231 Wh at 964 W and ran an 1,100 W microwave (March 2025, about 17,100 views).
Dabbsson DBS1300
- Every channel carries a Dabbsson tie.
- Tech Made Easy, a review marked as paid promotion that is placed on Dabbsson's own product page and links the unit on Amazon with a discount code, confirmed pass-through charging works and tested the 15 ms EPS switchover (February 2024, about 9,200 views).
- One Man and His Whippet, which Dabbsson sent two units and which passes on an Amazon discount code, linked two UK units through the parallel connector and ran household loads without tripping the inverters (March 2024, about 22,200 views).
