Anker SOLIX C1000 Portable Power Station, 1800W (Peak 2400W) Solar Generator, Full Charge in 58 Min, 1056wh LiFePO4 Battery for Home Backup, Power Outages, and Outdoor Camping (Optional Solar Panel)

So glad I got one of these. Charges quickly, the phone app is very good and it delivers a lot of power. Just used it for the first time in anger when we had a power cut. It powered the air fryer easily to cook, then ran the WiFi router and TV for entertainment, and supplied light from the big torch on the front. Definitely worthwhile for home backup.

Good power supply. A bit heavy but I can move it around easy. Not complicated to use, holds the charge well. I use it in my craft room for my radio, lamps, laptop and wifi extender. The only thing that drains it really quickly is my tiny 500w heater! Also useful as we live in an area that can get power cuts as it easily powers a small tv

PLEASE READ 2ND EDIT; Inverters like this one do not provide a power supply similar to that in your home and will struggle to operate devices with heating elements, pumps, motors, etc, that come anywhere near close to the max 1800w peak of this battery. Please think carefully before purchasing as you will not be able to return it, as I am now finding out! Edit: even if you are lucky to be offered a refund, try posting a battery! 2nd Edit: I felt I had to leave a 2nd edit to this review to comment on the customer service I received from Anker following my difficulties with my Solix C1000. Whilst I was thoroughly disappointed to have found that the inverter would not power my coffee machine, Anker did try to help with me being able to get it back to them at their expense. Following getting it back to them, they contacted me and suggested that they could with my help issue, if I was willing to try again. Given the benefit to me in having a powerful inverter that I can take with me wherever I go around the UK, I agreed to try again. Through a series of tests they asked me to run, feeding back to them the results and the device logs, a series of firmware updates, they did indeed find out what the issue was. I was wrong in my initial assessment of the C1000 and it's output and am happy to eat a big portion of humble pie. To say I was gobsmacked to have been given this opportunity to work so closely with Anker to resolve the issue is an understatement and I would have to say is a measure of who Anker are as a company, and feel that a 5 star review is utterly deserving.

Great tool for camping or working outside. Saves running cables everywhere. Runs.. Hair dryers straighteners jigsaws router's and a small 800w heater no problem. Fast charging is great. We haven't bothered with a leasure battery for our van as this product does everything we want. Love the app aswell.

This was better than I expected, charges fast and keeps it's charge on stand by.

So far so good, not sure if its normal to be making some noise when in used.

I can't find anything to complain about. Well packaged, delivered early by Anker ( fedex) good warranty. Well built, and takes a charge at around 110watts from the 12v pv socket linked to a 12v battery. The mains charging is great and has a few levels of charge input, if set to 200 watts , then the fan won't go on during charging. Biggest selling point over the Bluetti is that Anker actually have a customer service and aftershaves. BLUETTI I'd a shambols. Fir this reason alone I chose it over the competitive Bluetti. Edit. Now after a few months its stiil awesome. Only a 3% drop in resting charge in 4 months. Admittedly the unit is stored in a warm living room cupboard, but 3% is still great. Ive got " reputable" AA rechargeable batteries that have lost 50% in that time. ( tip. Avoid EBL re hargeable AA's)

I use this power station in my campervan and at home during power cuts which has enabled my broadband router to continue to function.

First off, we've purchased 7 of the C1000s, 3 of the BP1000 expansion batteries and 4 of the C300. Secondly, we are not RVers or campers. We started with just 2 of the C1000s. We wanted something for backup on our refrigerator and freezer. The C 1000, by itself, will not run a regular size energy star refrigerator for a full day. It will run a TV for about 5 hours. We were surprised to find that most non energy star TVs pull 200 watts when on and about 50 watts when off. (Our 65" TV and 32" TV use nearly the same amount of energy) If you think you are going to quickly charge these power stations with 200 watts of solar panels, you will have to think again. Two 100 watt panels charge at a rate of 30 or 40 watts. To charge the C1000 takes around 25 or 30 hours of sunlight. To charge the C300, it takes about 10 to 12 hours of full sun. We use two 100 watt panels for the C300 because the total output is so low, and they are compatible with the C300. We found that the C300 will not keep my cPap running through the night. We've dedicated a C1000 for it. We purchased three battery expansion units and they make a big difference. The energy star refrigerator runs a full day. The TV runs 10 hours and since we keep the news on almost all day long, the expansion battery helps. We like these units so much that we've decided to run all of our major appliances from them as the main power source. At first, we thought we'd charge it from the wall outlet, AC, but the calculations show that it uses as much power as the appliance so there is no energy consumption savings. We can charge the unit via AC or solar panel as the power station provides power to our appliance. We've decided not to use the BP 1000 for our other freezer or even other refrigerator, we plan to use 2 C 1000 per major appliance. That way, when one runs out, we can safely disconnect it and reconnect the other C 1000. It affords us the ability to continue to power our appliance while the depleted C1000 is charged. Currently, we have the C1000 connected to 3 200 watt panels which supply about 200 watts total output. So it takes 5 hours of full sun to charge. Doing research, I've found that the absolutely best solar panel only generates about 25% of it's rating. Keep that in mind. Be mindful of the IP67 or IP65 rating of the panel you are going to purchase. An IP67 can be submersed in water for a short period of time, so I think it is OK to be in a light rain for a period of time. In fact, it is rated for rain. An IP65 can take a splash of rain, we have a couple of IP65, because we didn't know, but we make sure they are used only when it is a bright, dry, sunny day. IP65 panels are less expensive. When shopping for a power station, be wary of the ones that say you can run your dryer for 30 hours, and they are showing small units. Do the calculations. P = I E which means that Power (in watts) = Current (in amps) TIMES Voltage (in volts). We need to run a sump pump 24/7, pumps are typically rated in AMPS. Our 1/6th hp sump pulls 4.4 amps so that means it needs between 506 and 528 watts PER HOUR. For us, that means we need a power station that will give us nearly 13 KW for a day. What that means, for us, is that we need a pretty huge system that can be charged by solar. It will take a lot of solar panels. Fortunately, we don't have to run the sump all the time so we can use the power station to run our furnace, washer, and dryer. If you are thinking of getting a P 300 for device charging. I've found that iPads pull about 10 watts and the charging cable makes a difference. My old cable won't even charge off the P 300. We had some issues with the app, but it is working fine right now. It is really nice to be able to monitor the unit's charging status and the discharge status. It is also nice to be able to shut off lights right from the app. That's my take on the Anker C1000, C300 and BP 1000. I like them, my husband likes them and we started with 2 and are up to 7. At 30 pounds, they are not too difficult, for my ancient husband to move around. We are both ancient and that should tell you that it is easy to set the app up because that is what I do. The blackouts in the Iberia area of Europe on April 28, 2025 should stand as a warning for all of us. It can happen. In any event, really consider Anker. We are now considering a couple of the F3800 because they can be charged with a GAS generator.

After seeing many good reviews for the Power Station, I decided to purchase one for my camping trips. I am glad I did. I have another Portable Power Station from Conpex with similar "Specs", but, oh boy, the difference is huge! In combination with my 400W Solar panels, this thing basically never runs out of power when I use it with my electrical camping gear. Although I never had to use it for this purpose, I also think that should there ever be a power outage the Solix C1000 will be a good addition to my household to keep essential appliances running. AAA+++

I have not charged it with the solar panels as yet, but it does charge quickly by plugging into the grid. It has been a life saver this winter with the two outages that I have had. I have a lot of dash products on hand, and it works well with those. I also received a rice cooker for Christmas and it only needs 300W of power to use, it takes little time and usage from the Anker SOLIX to make or reheat a meal. I'm so happy I bought this product. One of the outages lasted 19 hours in frigid temps and I was even able to use a heater without depleting.

Voila 1 an que nous utilisons cette batterie principalement pour du car camping et alimenter un réfrigérateur BougeRV Aspen ainsi que la charge de tous les équipements électroniques. Lors du premier essai, il a été branché a la prise voiture et le Aspen. Nous avons eu la surprise que la batterie s'est arrêtés dans la nuit. Heureusement qu'il ne faisait pas trop chaud et le réfrigérateur était toujours froid au matin. Plus tard ce problème a été corrigé avec une mise a jour du firmware. Il me permet d'alimenter le réfrigérateur de camping pendant 3 jours (en plus de charger d'autres appareils type cellulaire) si la température extérieure n'est pas trop chaude. Au dessus de 25 degrés C, cela peut descendre a 48 heures. L'appareil est costaud même si un peu lourd mais les 2 poignées sont vraiment pratique a l'usage. Point que j'ai aimé c'est sa recharge, en une heure maximum, la batterie peut être rechargé complétement. L'écran est très lisible. L'application sur cellulaire est pratique aussi pour voir l'état de la batterie. Il faut parfois lui forcer la main pour reconnecter l'appareil dans l'application surtout en l'absence de Wifi. La disposition des prises est très bonne et je n'ai pas rencontré de problème de place avec certains cables de charge. J'ai par la suite et grâce a de belles promotions, acheté des panneaux solaires ainsi que l'extension de batterie mais a ce jour je n'ai pas encore pu les utiliser. La seul chose que je n'aime pas avec l'extension de batterie c'est le cable de liaison qui va vers le C1000 qui est rigide et trop encombrant. Un cable plus souple aurait été apprécié. Au global, très bon appareil et qui peut servir aussi en cas de panne électrique a la maison. C'est toujours satisfaisant d'avoir de la lumière, internet ou pour garder en vie un plus gros réfrigérateur le temps que la panne soit résolue. C'est un produit hautement recommandé
