Which is better for running a fridge during an outage?

The DJI Power 2000, on output headroom: 3000 W continuous and 4000 W peak handle compressor startup better than the ABOK's 2500 W. For long outages, the ABOK wins because it expands to 10.8 kWh.

Both use LiFePO4 cells rated at 4000 cycles. The ABOK states 4000+ cycles to 90% capacity; the DJI states over 80% after 4000 cycles. Treat them as close, with the ABOK's figure slightly stronger.

Is the DJI worth the savings over the ABOK?

Yes for most shoppers. It was $759.99 at camrise as of November 4 against $959.00 for the ABOK as of November 2, and it gives more continuous power. Pay the extra for the ABOK only if you need battery expansion or 1200 W solar.

Which is better for solar charging?

The ABOK Ark2500. It takes up to 1200 W of solar through two 600 W MPPT inputs. The DJI needs optional accessories to charge from solar, and its solar input rating is not published here.

Which is better for a home UPS setup?

The ABOK Ark2500, which specifies a switchover of 10 ms or less. DJI does not publish a UPS switchover time for the Power 2000.

How heavy are they to move?

Nearly the same: 21.2 kg for the ABOK and about 22 kg for the DJI. Both are two-person lifts for stairs or long carries.

ABOK Ark2500 Portable Power Station vs DJI Power 2000

Buy the DJI Power 2000 if you want more continuous output, more ports and a lower price: it was $759.99 at camrise as of November 4, against $959.00 for the ABOK Ark2500 as of November 2. Buy the ABOK Ark2500 if you need expandable capacity to 10.8 kWh, a 1200 W solar input or a 10 ms UPS mode for home backup. The DJI costs about $200 less and delivers 3000 W continuous, but the ABOK's battery expansion is the feature the DJI lacks.
