Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen2 vs EcoFlow Delta 3 Max

The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen2 is the better pick for most people deciding between these two. It is lighter at 24.9 lb, recharges to full in about 49 minutes on AC, and runs quietly at around 20 dB with app control over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The EcoFlow Delta 3 Max is the step up for heavy loads: its 4.8 kW output and 2,048 Wh battery run a fridge, space heater or power tools that would trip the Anker. Owners praise Anker's fast recharge and build; EcoFlow owners like the extra headroom but note the larger size and weight.

• Choose the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen2 if you want a light, quiet 1 kWh unit for camping, CPAP and short outages, with the fastest AC recharge in its class.
• Choose the EcoFlow Delta 3 Max if you need to run high-draw appliances or want roughly double the runtime before recharging.
