Which is better for camping?

The Bluetti AC180. Its 1,152Wh battery and 1,800W output run a 12V fridge and a small appliance at the same time. The EcoFlow is lighter, so it suits car camping where you move it in and out.

Both use LiFePO4 cells rated around 3,500 cycles to 80% capacity, so expect similar life. The Bluetti's larger battery means you cycle it less for the same load, which helps over years.

Is the EcoFlow worth the extra $43.47?

Only if you want the wireless charging pad, Wi-Fi app control and the 20 lb weight. On capacity and output per dollar, the Bluetti wins.

Can either run a microwave?

The Bluetti AC180 at 1,800W continuous runs most 700–1,000W microwaves. The EcoFlow's 1,500W continuous covers smaller microwaves; its 3,000W surge only helps at startup.

Which is easier to carry?

The EcoFlow Delta 3 Classic at about 20 lb. The Bluetti AC180 is about 35 lb, so plan to leave it in one spot or use a cart.

Do both charge from solar?

Yes. Both accept up to 500W of solar input, which recharges either in roughly 1.5 to 2 hours in good sun.
