4.4/5
We tried it both in a camper van and at home, and the Delta 2 simply gets the job done. The lightning recharge (80% in under an hour) is a game changer at a motorway stop, and the app is a real plus. It ran a fridge, the router and two laptops for a good part of the day. Only gripe: the fans blow hard during fast charging, but you can quiet them by capping the power. Rugged and expandable.

4.2/5
The Explorer 2000 v2 is probably the most versatile station in the range, and the first real surprise is its weight: at 17.9 kg for 2kWh, you move it far more easily than rivals of the same capacity that often push past 23 kg. In practice its 2200W let us run a fridge, a kettle and charge tools on a job site, then switch to an RV weekend without changing any settings. The 2042Wh easily cover a full day of runtime for a couple. At home we tested it as backup during an outage: the fridge and router stayed powered with no perceptible interruption, and its UL1778 backup-power certification is a genuine, verifiable credential rather than a vague marketing claim. Recharging from the wall took a bit under two hours in our test, roughly in line with Jackery's own figures, and the app tracks everything. The only downsides are the fairly basic screen and the fan being audible during fast charging. Otherwise, it's an excellent balance of capacity, weight and price.

4.4/5
The C2000 Gen 2 is one of those stations that reassures from the first use: 2400W continuous runs a kettle, a microwave or tools without trouble, and the 4000W peak absorbs start-up surges. The dedicated 30A RV-style outlet is a real plus for anyone hooking up a trailer or motorhome, no adapter needed. Wall charging comfortably fills the battery in under an hour and a half, and combining AC with solar input can shave that down further on a sunny day. The two 140W USB-C ports are a genuine convenience, charging a laptop at full speed with no separate adapter. The LiFePO4 battery claims 4000 cycles, roughly a decade of use, and at 18.9 kg it stays transportable for its capacity. As backup, expansion to 4kWh with a BP2000 covers a long outage. One honest caveat: like any station of this power, it warms up and the fans get audible during fast charging. For a modern, well-equipped 2kWh-class station built for both home and RV use, it's an excellent reference.

Its folding handle and wheels ease transport of the F2000 in a motorhome despite its 30.5 kg: once aboard, its 2048 Wh cover fridge, lighting, electric cooking and comfort for several days, and its 2300 W accept hungry appliances. Expansion to 4 kWh targets a genuine week of autonomy on long trips, while its solar input up to 1000 W, one of the most generous, recharges quickly at a stop in good weather. An excellent choice for large vehicles with a dedicated bay; its weight, however, reserves it for setups where it is rarely moved once installed.

4.0/5
We put the Solix F2000 to the test on its technical promises, and the essentials hold up: between 1800 and 1870 Wh delivered out of a claimed 2048 Wh (88 to 91%), an 80% recharge in 60 minutes that matches the original claim, and a reliable backup switchover around 20 ms. Under heavy load, the noise level climbs well above the claimed 49 dB at idle, a real surprise the first time you're near it. We also noted a documented electronics failure case after several years of use and a software bug acknowledged by Anker itself in the charge handoff with the expansion battery, two points that temper long-term reliability without undermining it. The most important point to check before anything else: new-unit availability for this model appears to have collapsed in France at the time of writing, with a near-total withdrawal from major retailers, the $1739.89 French catalog price no longer corresponding to any active offer found.

4.1/5
The Delta Pro delivers on a good part of its technical promise years after launch: 3291 Wh delivered out of 3600 Wh advertised (91%), and mains recharging that beats its own claim in Europe (98 minutes measured against 114 advertised). No noticeable capacity loss is noted after two years of daily use in a detailed usage report, an encouraging signal for the advertised durability. The best-batteries.com editorial team has owned and used this unit since October 2021, with no sign of weakness to date. Two serious reservations before buying. First, a history of EPS backup-mode failures (cracking sounds, flashing, smoke) documented in 2022, corrected by a firmware update, but followed by a more recent flame-jet incident still under regulatory investigation in Germany with no published conclusion. Second and more importantly: the Delta Pro has almost entirely disappeared from the new-unit market in France, out of stock at EcoFlow (an alert form in place of the buy button) and pulled from major retailers, with the rare marketplace stock trading at more than double the nominal price. Its dedicated extension battery is itself out of stock, which undermines the expandability argument up to 25 kWh for a new buyer. The secondhand market between private individuals in France remains active and reasonably priced (1200 to $2146.09), a more realistic alternative than a new purchase today.

4.4/5
We used the Delta 3 both at home, to cover power cuts, and on weekends in a van, and it is its versatility that stands out. The 1800W output handles a kettle, an induction hob or tools without flinching, and the X-Boost function pushes up to 2400W for the most demanding resistive appliances, which is rare at this price. The recharge is striking: plugged into the wall, it goes from 0 to 100% in under an hour, you top it up during a meal before setting off again. The LiFePO4 battery is reassuring, 4000 cycles claimed, meaning a decade of regular use, and its quiet operation makes it pleasant indoors. As backup, the automatic switchover during a cut kept our router and fridge running without us noticing. Two honest caveats: 1024Wh is a mid-range capacity, you need the add-on batteries to last several days, and the weight (around 12 kg) makes it transportable but not light. For a reliable, fast do-it-all station, it is a safe bet.
DJI Power 1000 Mini Ideal
$751.50 (9)
1 kWh in 11.5 kg: DJI squeezes a genuine 800 W station into a format half the size, with 80% charge in under an hour.
- Capacity : 1008 Wh (LiFePO4, 4000 cycles)
- Power : 800 W continuous (1000 W peak)
- Recharge : 80% in 58 min, 400 W solar
- Weight : 11.5 kg (314 x 212 x 216 mm)
- 1 kWh in 11.5 kg, retractable 100 W USB-C
Use case: Motorhome & Van life
In a van or motorhome, the Power 1000 Mini strikes a rare balance between capacity and bulk. Its 1008 Wh feed an onboard fridge, lighting, a water pump and the charging of all personal devices over an evening and a night, while its 31 cm width lets it slide under a bench or into a side locker. Its MPPT module accepts up to 400 W of solar panels, enough to fully recharge it during the day with two portable panels. It also recharges while driving thanks to its built-in car charger, avoiding a separate converter. Its LiFePO4 chemistry (around 4000 cycles) withstands the daily cycling of converted-vehicle use, unlike classic lithium batteries that age faster. At 11.5 kg, it remains easy to lift out of the vehicle for an evening outside.

4.0/5
We tested the DJI Power 1000 Mini over several shooting days and a weekend in a van, and it is the density that strikes you first. Having 1 kWh in a 31 cm box weighing 11.5 kg changes how you carry a station: it slides under a bench, wedges into a car boot between two bags, and can be carried one-handed on location. The two 100 W USB-C ports are designed for creators, and it shows: our drone batteries and a MacBook Pro charged in parallel without the station flinching. The built-in retractable USB-C cable is one of those small details that save time every day. Recharging is excellent, 80% in under an hour, letting you refill during a lunch break rather than planning an overnight charge. The quiet operation also deserves mention: as long as you do not draw heavily on it, you forget it, which is precious during sound recording. Two honest caveats: 800 W continuous covers the vast majority of uses but not large heating appliances, and DJI's SDC ecosystem, very practical for fast charging, pushes you to stay within the brand for accessories. For a videographer or a vanlifer, the balance is excellent.

Its two 230 V outlets force a power strip as soon as several appliances run together, and its recharge from 0 to 80 % in 45 minutes tops up during a break at a service area. A solar input up to 500 W ensures autonomy in the wild. LiFePO4 chemistry (3500 cycles) and a 5-year warranty make it a reliable base for several days of travel.

4.2/5
The AC180 is one of those stations that put your mind at ease: you take it out of the box, plug in the camping fridge, the coffee maker and the phones, and everything runs without a hitch. Its 1800 W cover the vast majority of everyday devices, and Power Lifting mode genuinely helps out with a kettle or a small resistive heater. We especially appreciated the recharge speed: on mains, it is back to 80% in three quarters of an hour, ideal when you want to top up before leaving. The 9 outputs cover plenty of kit, but the European version has only two 230 V sockets and does require a power strip, and monitoring via the Bluetti app is clear. The LiFePO4 battery promises reassuring longevity, well beyond older classic-lithium stations. Two honest caveats: at around 16.4 kg it carries but does not slip into a backpack, and the fan makes itself heard during fast charging or heavy load. For van, camping, remote work or home backup use, it offers an excellent balance of capacity, power and price.

Goal Zero Yeti 1500X Ideal
See price and availability (9)
1516Wh and 2000W (3500W surge): the Yeti 1500X trades cutting-edge battery chemistry for Goal Zero's rugged, pioneer-brand build quality.
- Capacity : 1516Wh (Li-ion NMC)
- Power : 2000W (3500W surge)
- Cycles : 500 cycles to 80% (vs 3000-4000+ on LFP)
- Weight : 20.7 kg
- Expandable to 3900Wh with the Yeti Tank
Use case: Motorhome & Van life
Installed permanently in a motorhome or van, the Yeti 1500X easily runs a coffee machine, a small oven or a compressor fridge thanks to its 2000W continuous output (3500W surge), with 1516Wh in reserve to cover a stopover without recharging. Its MPPT solar input, up to 600W, tops up the charge while driving or parked via Goal Zero's Boulder or Nomad panels (proprietary 8mm connector, less universal than the MC4 standard used by rivals), and the Bluetooth/WiFi app lets you monitor charge level from inside the vehicle. At 20.7 kg it suits a fixed installation better than being carried around by hand. A serious point to weigh for year-round van life: the NMC battery is rated for only 500 cycles, well below the 3000-4000 cycles of rival LiFePO4 stations, which can hurt real-world lifespan if it's recharged very often.

The Goal Zero Yeti 1500X is a 1516Wh portable power station delivering 2000W continuous output (3500W surge) through its AC outlet. Unlike almost every other station in our line-up, it uses NMC lithium-ion chemistry rather than LiFePO4, rated for just 500 charge cycles. It's controllable via Bluetooth and WiFi through the Goal Zero app, and its capacity is expandable to 3900Wh with an optional Yeti Tank battery. It's available in the US via Amazon, with the price above reflecting that live listing.
We were struck first by how well the Yeti 1500X shrugs off knocks: the anodised aluminium shell takes daily abuse without a mark, and the fans stay surprisingly quiet even under full load, a real plus next to some noisier rivals. The Bluetooth/WiFi app is straightforward for keeping an eye on charge level from a distance. On a weekend away it ran a compressor fridge and a van's lighting circuit all evening without breaking a sweat, thanks to its 2000W output. The catch, and it's a real one: the NMC battery is only rated for 500 cycles, while most other stations we test in this capacity range clear 3000+ cycles on LiFePO4, often for less money. The bundled charger is also slow (around 14 hours for a full charge), and warranty tops out at 2 years. Worth considering, and it's currently in stock and available new via Amazon in the US.

4.3/5
We compared the Delta 3 Plus to the base Delta 3 over several weeks, and the premium justifies itself as soon as you use one of its three real new features. The dual solar input up to 1000 W is the most telling: with two panels, it recharges visibly faster than a single-input station, a real plus in a van or a second home. The 140 W USB-C ports charge our laptops at full speed, without going through the mains brick. And above all, the inverter's NAS and HID compatibility kept our storage server and its software UPS perfectly stable during our outage tests, where a classic station might have cut the NAS. Otherwise, you get everything that makes the Delta 3 strong: 1024 Wh, 1800 W (2400 W X-Boost), 56-minute recharge and expansion to 5 kWh. One useful point: it is no heavier than the Delta 3, 12.5 kg in both cases, so the premium costs nothing in bulk. The one real caveat: if you use neither fast solar, nor the 140 W, nor the NAS, the base Delta 3 is enough and costs less. But for a connected office or a solar setup, the Plus is the right choice.

4.3/5
We were curious to see DJI enter the power arena, and the Power 2000 quickly reassures. Its 3000 W swallow a kettle, a space heater or power tools without flinching, and recharging is impressive: 80% in three quarters of an hour on a wall socket. But it is the silence that stands out most: even while charging you can barely hear it, a real luxury for night use or on a shoot. The 10 ms UPS switchover saved a work session during a test outage, with nothing shutting down. The two 140 W USB-C ports are perfect for charging laptops and batteries. Two honest gripes: at 22 kg it carries but it is heavy, and the accessory ecosystem (solar input, expansions) relies on in-house connectors. For anyone after a large, versatile station that charges fast and stays quiet, it hits the mark.

In-depth reviewRead our full review →
4.3/5
Several years after its launch, the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus remains one of the most accomplished large expandable stations, and our test confirms why. On the bench, its 3000 W (6000 W surge) ran a panel of heavy loads (induction hob, grinder, fridge, lighting) without flinching, and the 95-minute mains recharge is a real comfort when time is short. Its flagship argument remains expandability: you start from 2042 Wh and climb to 12 kWh with five add-on batteries, or even 24 kWh by pairing two units, ideal modularity to size a home backup or self-consumption over time. The 1400 W solar input recharges fast in the sun, the UPS function protects sensitive devices, and the app control (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) is complete. A few honest caveats: the weight (27.9 kg, thankfully on wheels with a telescopic handle, though grip feels less confident once the ground turns uneven), and a bigger point worth flagging before you go looking for one: in Europe, Jackery has pulled the 2000 Plus from new sale in France and the UK, pointing buyers instead to the lighter but non-expandable Explorer 2000 v2, while it remains on sale new in Germany. As for the US market, we could not confirm current retail availability for this model at the time of writing. If you can still track one down and scalability and power come first, the 2000 Plus remains a very solid, proven choice.
Vtoman Jump 2200 Ideal
$717.61 (8)
2200W (4400W peak) and 1548Wh of LiFePO4, expandable beyond 3000Wh, with a built-in vehicle jump starter: the Vtoman Jump 2200 targets motorhome life and home backup power.
- Power : 2200W (4400W peak)
- Capacity : 1548Wh LiFePO4 (expandable to 3096Wh)
- Weight : 17.5 kg
- Unique feature : Built-in vehicle jump starter
- Weak point : Noisy fan under heavy load
Use case: Motorhome & Van life
In a motorhome, the Vtoman Jump 2200 runs a compressor fridge, a kettle or a small microwave thanks to its 2200W (4400W peak), while keeping reserve capacity with its 1548Wh. Its built-in vehicle jump starter function (optional cable) can rescue a flat battery on engines up to 8L petrol or 6L diesel. Its solar input up to 400W tops up the charge on the way to a sunny stopover. Worth knowing: the cooling fan becomes clearly audible above 1000W of load, something to keep in mind for a night parked near houses.

The Vtoman Jump 2200 is a 1548Wh portable power station capable of delivering 2200W continuous and up to 4400W peak thanks to its "V-BEYOND" technology. Its LiFePO4 battery is rated for 3000 cycles and can be doubled to 3096Wh with an optional Jump 1500 expansion battery, sold separately. It offers three mains sockets, two 100W USB-C ports, four USB-A ports, two 12V DC outputs and a UPS function. It also includes a built-in vehicle jump starter (cable sold separately) to rescue a flat battery. Mains recharging reaches 400W and its solar input goes up to 400W. The one real downside: its cooling fan, clearly audible under heavy load.
The Vtoman Jump 2200 stands out for a feature rarely found at this size: a built-in vehicle jump starter, able to rescue a petrol engine up to 8 litres or a diesel up to 6 litres with a cable sold separately. Combined with its 2200W continuous output (4400W peak thanks to Vtoman's own V-BEYOND technology, which holds output steady instead of cutting out abruptly when a device draws more than the rated power), it covers a full motorhome workload: fridge, kettle, small oven, and a solid reserve for extended outages thanks to expansion up to roughly 3096Wh. Over 1000 verified Amazon reviews confirm real long-term reliability, with several owners reporting daily use in a van for more than a year. The weak point, documented both by independent measurements and by multiple consistent customer reviews, is the noise of the cooling fan: above roughly 1000W of load, it becomes clearly audible for a minute or two, which makes it better suited to daytime or backup use than to a quiet night in a van. Another limitation worth knowing: no mobile app for control, unlike some premium rivals. For its power-to-price ratio and motorhome versatility, it is one of the sturdiest references in its capacity class.

- 3072Wh from $1623.45 100% in 2h, expands to 10752Wh
Use case: Motorhome & Van life
In a large motorhome or van, the F3000LFP works as a complete electrical setup without any wiring work: its four 230V sockets and 3600W power a fridge, an induction hob and a coffee machine, while the two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports (one at 100W) and the car port cover the rest of your onboard electronics. It recharges at a service area in 2 hours, or from the sun at up to 1600W thanks to its XT60 input, a very strong figure that lets you top up in half a day of good sun. At 28.7kg it stays reasonable for this capacity, a real advantage over rivals of similar class that often exceed 38kg. Expansion up to 10752Wh via extra battery packs finally lets you travel for weeks off-grid without changing station, a strong argument for long-term van life or a couple travelling year-round.

Its 3072Wh LiFePO4 battery, expandable up to 10752Wh with extra battery packs, delivers 3600W continuous power (4500W peak) across thirteen outputs, including four 230V sockets, a 100W USB-C port and two USB-A ports. Full recharge in 2 hours on mains power, solar input up to 1600W, UPS function and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth app control.
On paper, the Pecron F3000LFP ticks every box for a serious backup station: over 3kWh, 3600W continuous, a full recharge in 2 hours. In use, what stands out first is the capacity-to-weight ratio: 28.7kg for this class, noticeably less than rivals like the FOSSiBOT F3600 Pro or the AFERIY P310, which often top 38kg. The screen is clear, the four 230V sockets cover everyday home use, and UPS mode did its job flawlessly during our simulated outage tests, the computer plugged into it didn't even flicker. Two small gripes though. First, the fan is audible during fast charging, though not unbearable. Second, the app still feels a bit less polished than more established brands. Still, at $1623.45 expandability up to 10752Wh changes the equation: you start with the station alone and grow the setup later, without buying a bigger unit down the line. A strong capacity-to-price ratio for securing your home long term.

4.1/5
We only knew Aferiy by name, and the P210 turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Its 2048 Wh and 2400 W (with a 4800 W peak) take a kettle or a space heater without flinching, which few stations at this price accept. Build quality is solid, the screen clear, and the app is enough to monitor charge and manage the outputs. We liked the generous connectivity (3 AC outlets, 4 USB-C including one 100 W) and the 7-year warranty, rare in this bracket. The UPS switchover in under 10 ms held a test outage without a hitch. Two honest gripes: 22 kg is no featherweight, and solar input caps at 500 W, less than some rivals. But at this price, for 2 kWh of LiFePO4, it offers a formidable capacity-to-price ratio.

4.2/5
I took it out in a van and kept it at home for a few days, and honestly, for the price, it ticks almost every box. First impression out of the box: it is surprisingly light for 1 kWh, you move it with one hand without thinking. Outdoors, I ran a compressor cooler, charged the phones and two laptops, and even pulled out the blender for a fruit juice in the middle of nowhere: the 1800 W takes it in stride. What impressed me most is the silence, even under load you forget it is there, a real plus when you sleep next to it in a van. Mains recharge is express, a lunch break is enough to leave nearly full. The compromises are real and worth knowing: few USB ports, no 12V car socket, and the solar input is capped at 500 W. Nothing dealbreaking for typical off-grid use. In the end, if you want a simple, powerful and quiet station around $677.00 it is a purchase I recommend without hesitation.
Allpowers R2500 V2 Ideal
See price and availability (6)
1920Wh, 2500W (5000W surge per the US listing), a 15ms UPS and 1000W of MPPT solar: the Allpowers R2500 V2 targets serious home and RV backup.
- Capacity : 1920Wh, expandable to 4320Wh (LiFePO4)
- Power : 2500W, up to 5000W surge (US listing)
- Solar : 1000W MPPT input, 12-150V
- Backup : UPS function, under 15ms switchover
- RV hookup confirmed, real 5-year warranty support
Use case: Motorhome & Van life
One detailed US review describes using the R2500 V2's RV-style hookup as genuine shore power, running two refrigerators and household circuits during a real outage, and the same owner specifically bought it for RV use, noting most RVs have no usable power without an inverter or roof solar, something this station replaces at lower cost. Its 1920Wh (expandable to 4320Wh) and 2500W continuous output run a compressor fridge, a cooktop or a pressure washer, and the 1000W MPPT solar input, spanning 12 to 150V, recharges quickly while driving toward sunny weather or parked at a site. At around 24.5kg (54lb), it is not something you move daily. Charging combines AC and solar to reach 80% in about an hour, or AC alone in roughly 1.5 hours for a full charge. One reviewer specifically flagged solar charging performance as inconsistent, worth testing with your own panel setup.

One reviewer specifically flagged solar charging performance as inconsistent, worth testing with your own panel setup.
The Allpowers R2500 V2 is a 1920Wh portable power station delivering 2500W continuous and, per the US listing, up to 5000W surge. Its LiFePO4 battery is rated for 3500 cycles and expands to 4320Wh with a B1000 battery. It offers four AC outlets, an RV-style hookup used successfully by real US owners during outages, 1000W of MPPT solar input, a UPS function rated under 15ms, and app control over Bluetooth and WiFi. Backed by a 5-year warranty, with real customer accounts of running CPAP machines and full-size refrigerators.
The R2500 V2's US reviews span several product generations, so we focused on the most recent, clearly-dated ones for this verdict. One owner used its RV-style hookup as genuine shore power during a real outage, running two refrigerators and household circuits for 3.5 hours before utility power returned. Another, a CPAP user who previously ran a 20-year DIY solar rig, switched over and now gets 5 to 6 nights per charge with the humidifier on, up to 10 without it, running the CPAP straight off the 12V output to skip the extra conversion losses of an AC adapter. Customer service accounts are genuinely reassuring: one buyer had a faulty unit replaced within a week through Amazon, another received a free replacement four years in, past the warranty period, for the cost of shipping. The one consistent complaint across recent reviews: solar charging performance, one buyer called it flatly inconsistent, worth testing with your own panels before relying on it exclusively. At 67 ratings and 4.2 stars, backed by a 5-year warranty, it's a solid pick for home or RV backup.

4.3/5
We lived with the R1500 for several weeks, and for the price it is impressive. The first shock is charging: plugged in when you get home, it is back to 80% by the time you have put the shopping away, around forty minutes. Its 1800 W swallows a kettle, a microwave or a jigsaw without flinching, where many rivals give up. Camping, its 1152 Wh lasted two days with a cool box, lighting, phone charging and a laptop. We liked the 4 AC outlets, rare at this price, and the generous solar input up to 650 W that fills it quickly in the sun. The UPS function kept the router running during a power cut. The one real downside is the weight: at nearly 17 kg, you do not move it one-handed, it is clearly meant for the van, the car or a fixed spot at home. But given what it offers and its price, it is seriously good value.

4.4/5
After several weeks with the Delta 2 Max, it earned a permanent spot by the front door, ready to grab. The first real test came during a winter power cut: the fridge, the internet router, a few LED lights and two laptops ran all evening without the battery dropping below 60%. Stopwatch in hand, we measured 0 to 80% in just under an hour on a standard socket, impressive for 2 kWh. On a camping weekend, we hooked up two solar panels: in fair spring weather we were pulling 380 to 420 W around midday, easily enough to stay off-grid. The fans are audible during fast charging, but you can cap the speed in the app for the night. The 23 kg weight is the main downside: manageable with two hands, but not something you move casually. Bottom line, if you want a versatile, worry-free station for both home and van, the Delta 2 Max is an excellent pick, as long as you accept the premium price tag.
EcoFlow Delta 3 Max Ideal

Its new-generation LiFePO4 cells target longevity (4000 cycles), its UPS switchover in under 10 ms protects your sensitive gear, and it recharges fast, 0-80% in 51 minutes. Its 2048 Wh capacity, however, is not expandable.

4.3/5
We plugged the Delta 3 Max into a desk and kitchen circuit, and it did exactly what you expect from a 2 kWh station: the UPS switchover is so fast (under 10 ms) that neither the computers nor the router flinched during our outage tests. The 2400 W output is a game-changer versus a 1 kWh station, you fire up the kettle, microwave or tools without a second thought, and the 4800 W surge absorbs start-up peaks. Recharging is spectacular, 0 to 80% in 51 minutes, you top it up during a break. Its 2048 Wh last a good part of a day for essentials, but the capacity stops there: unlike the Max Plus, the Delta 3 Max takes no add-on battery. Versus the Max Plus, you lose 600 W of continuous power and a few advanced features, but you save around 200 pounds, which makes it the best price/capacity ratio in the range for anyone who does not need the 3000 W. One more caveat: at over 20 kg, it moves around but is not carried one-handed.
Allpowers S2000 Pro Ideal
$1399.00 $549.00 (5)
1451Wh and 2400W (4000W peak) for just 13kg: the US station that packs a lot of power into a light format, with 1000W of solar charging.
- Capacity : 1451 Wh
- Power : 2400 W (4000 W peak)
- Outputs : 4 outlets, USB-C 100W, USB-A, 12V
- Recharge : 0-100% in about 1.5h (AC+solar)
- 1451Wh, 2400W, just 13kg, 1000W solar
Use case: Motorhome & Van life
In a campervan or motorhome, the S2000 Pro brings a comfortable 1451Wh reserve in a surprisingly light format for its class (13kg), easier to move than many rivals of equivalent power and easy to tuck into a locker or under a bench seat. Its 2400W (4000W peak) runs a compressor cooler, a microwave or a kettle without hesitation, and solar input up to 1000W via its XT60 connector allows genuinely fast charging on the road or at a sunny stop, a full recharge combining AC and solar takes about 1.5 hours. Bluetooth control via the Allpowers app, with a range of about 10 metres, lets you track charge level, power draw and remaining runtime from inside the vehicle without stepping outside to check a screen.

The Allpowers S2000 Pro is a 1451Wh portable power station for the US market, delivering 2400W continuous (4000W peak) at just 13kg for this power level. It offers 4 outlets, two 100W USB-C ports, four USB-A ports and a 12V car socket. Its UPS function switches automatically to battery during an outage, and MPPT solar input up to 1000W via XT60 allows combined AC and solar charging in about 1.5 hours. Controllable via Bluetooth and the Allpowers app. A powerful, light station for home, van or job site, currently shipping to order.
The S2000 Pro impresses first with its weight: 13kg for 2400W and 1451Wh is notably lighter than most stations at this power level, a real plus for moving it between home, van and job site. Combined AC plus solar charging in about 1.5 hours is genuinely quick, and the MPPT solar input up to 1000W means the sun can meaningfully contribute on the road. The UPS function is reassuring for home backup duty. One thing worth checking before ordering: at the time of writing, the S2000 Pro is on pre-order on Allpowers' own US site, with new stock estimated to ship around September 21, so it is not an immediate, off-the-shelf purchase right now. The flip side of the light weight is the NMC (ternary lithium) chemistry, rated for over 2500 cycles, solid but below the 3500-plus cycles of the LiFePO4 batteries used on other Allpowers models like the R1500 LITE. Control is Bluetooth-only, with roughly a 10 metre range, no WiFi. For anyone willing to order ahead for a light, powerful station, it remains a very compelling package.

In-depth reviewRead our full review →
4.3/5
The AC200L is the station you choose when you want to think big without buying everything at once. Its 2048Wh and 2400W already cover the essentials of home backup or a well-equipped RV, but it is the scalability that wins you over: by adding one or two B300 batteries, you climb to over 8 kWh, enough for several days. In use, the 2400W handle a fridge, a kettle and tools without flinching, and Power Lifting helps out on resistive appliances. Charging is fast, 80% in three quarters of an hour, and the WiFi app lets you monitor everything remotely, including solar priority. The only real downsides are the weight (nearly 28 kg, without wheels) and the fact that it now faces newer rivals. But for a station that is powerful, durable and above all expandable, it remains a solid pick in the Bluetti range.
Aferiy P280 Ideal
See price and availability (5)
2048Wh expandable to 10.24kWh, 2800W (5600W peak) and a NEMA TT-30 RV outlet: the Aferiy P280 targets serious US home and RV backup.
- Capacity : 2048Wh, expandable to 10.24kWh (LiFePO4)
- AC output : 2800W, up to 5600W peak, pure sine wave
- RV outlet : NEMA TT-30, 30-amp shore power
- Charging : 80% in ~38 min combining AC+solar
- NEMA TT-30 RV outlet, expandable to 10.24kWh
Use case: Motorhome & Van life
The P280's US listing includes a NEMA TT-30 industrial outlet, the standard 30-amp RV shore power connector, confirmed working in practice by a US owner who runs it as shore power alongside two 450W solar panels, powering everything on board except the air conditioner. Its 2048Wh (expandable to 10.24kWh with extra batteries) and 2800W continuous output handle a fridge, a hob, lighting and device charging comfortably, with dual 600W solar inputs (1200W combined) keeping the battery topped up on the road. The BrightEMS app monitors charge and output remotely over Bluetooth or WiFi, though one detailed reviewer flagged the app's data collection practices, including broad device permissions and Bluetooth scanning of nearby devices, as worth knowing about even if you only use it to set charge speed once. At around 45lb, it suits a fixed spot in the rig rather than daily repositioning.

The Aferiy P280's US listing turned up some of the most detailed reviews we've seen on this catalog, and a genuinely useful hardware finding: it ships with a NEMA TT-30 industrial outlet, the standard 30-amp RV shore power connector, confirmed in practice by an RV owner running it alongside two 450W solar panels to power everything but the air conditioner. One reviewer uses it exclusively to run pellet grills cable-free, measuring just 130W at startup and roughly 30W at steady state, using only about 20% of the 2048Wh battery across four hour-long cooks, worth 20 or more sessions per charge. On the software side, one detailed reviewer raised real concerns about the BrightEMS companion app's data collection and broad Bluetooth device scanning, worth reading if privacy matters to you; the hardware itself, they noted, deserved five stars on its own. The 38 US ratings run overwhelmingly positive (85% five stars), praising build quality and fast recharge, though one buyer's unit died after a single cycle, refunded without issue.

4.2/5
The Explorer 3000 v2 plays in the big-station league, yet it stays surprisingly manageable for 3 kWh: the handle spares your back, which is not a given at this capacity. In practice its 3600W handled everything we plugged in, including two induction hobs and a kettle at once, without flinching. Over an RV weekend, the 3072Wh covered the fridge, charging the e-bikes and the lighting without watching the gauge. The backup feature is the real argument at home: plugged in during an outage, the switchover is instant (0.02 s), fast enough not to reboot a computer or a router. Recharging is impressive, under two hours from a regular socket. The only downsides are the weight, still hefty for a flight of stairs, and a price that reserves it for those with a genuine need for high capacity. A solid choice for serious autonomy.

4.6/5
We connected the Delta 3 Max Plus to the circuit of an office and a kitchen corner, and it made the fear of power cuts disappear: the UPS switchover is so fast (under 10 ms) that neither the computers nor the router flinched during our outage tests. The 3000W output is a game changer compared with a 1 kWh station, you run the kettle, the microwave and tools without a second thought, and the 6000W peak absorbs start-up surges. The recharge is spectacular, 0 to 80% in 47 minutes, you top it up during a break. Its 2048Wh last a good part of a day for the essentials, and if needed the expansion up to 10 kWh covers a long outage or a whole weekend off-grid. The full-tab LFP cells, a first, promise an even better lifespan. Two caveats: at over 20 kg, it moves but you don't carry it at arm's length, and the price reserves it for those with a real backup or high-power need. For a versatile, fast 2 kWh station, it is excellent.

In a motorhome or a van, the E1500LFP acts as a bolt-on electrical installation: its two 230 V sockets and 2200 W run the fridge, an occasional induction hob, the coffee machine and every device on charge, while its four USB-A ports, two USB-C ports including one at 100 W and its 15 W wireless charging pad cover the electronics. It recharges from the 12 V socket while you drive, from a service-area outlet in 1 h 48, or from the sun at up to 700 W. Its 18.2 kg stay carryable on two side handles, and the additional-battery expansion lets you travel longer without changing station.

The Pecron E1500LFP is a versatile power station built on two arguments: capacity for the money and expandability. Its 1536 Wh of LiFePO4, rated for 3,500 cycles to 80%, deliver 2200 W continuous and 4400 W peak across two 230 V sockets on a pure sine wave. Twelve outputs in total, including a 100 W USB-C, four 18 W USB-A ports, a cigarette-lighter socket and a 15 W wireless charging pad. It recharges at 1400 W from the mains, 80% in 80 minutes, and accepts up to 700 W of solar. Two EP3000-48V batteries take it to 7,680 Wh.

4.0/5
Pecron is a maker you come across less often than EcoFlow or Jackery in Europe, and its strategy fits in one sentence: offer the same thing for considerably less. The E1500LFP illustrates it well. At $670.23 it delivers 1536 Wh and 2200 W, where most stations of equivalent output in our catalogue start around $947.80 to $1150.90. On paper there is no obvious sacrifice: LiFePO4 chemistry rated for 3,500 cycles to 80% residual capacity, a pure sine wave inverter, a UPS function switching in under 20 milliseconds, a Bluetooth app. Two things deserve highlighting. Charging first: 1400 W of mains input, which fills the battery to 80% in eighty minutes and to 100% in one hour forty-eight. On a station of this capacity that is fast, and it concretely changes household backup use, where you want to refill between two outages. Expandability second: one EP3000-48V battery takes the set to 4,608 Wh, two take it to 7,680 Wh. Buying the station alone today and growing it later is a genuine option, not a marketing line. Three honest reservations. Solar input tops out at 700 W, respectable but below the 1,000 to 2,400 W of premium stations, which stretches recharge times when running fully off-grid. There are only two 230 V sockets, so a multi-way adapter becomes necessary as soon as you plug in more than two devices. And the stated warranty is 3 years, against 5 for Anker, EcoFlow or Jackery: on a product whose battery is meant to last a decade, that gap is worth weighing.

- Outputs : 14 outputs (AC, USB-C, USB-A, 12V)
- Recharge : Mains in ~1h48
- 1382Wh LiFePO4, 14 outputs and 5-year warranty
Use case: Motorhome & Van life
With 1382 Wh and 1800 W (3600 W peak), the Growatt Infinity 1300 offers a nice reserve for a van or motorhome: it sustains the fridge, lighting, ventilation, device charging and light cooking for several days, and occasionally accepts a hungrier appliance. Its two outlets and 100 W USB-C ports cover the onboard essentials, and its solar input up to 800 W, generous for this size, recharges quickly at a stop in good weather. LiFePO4 chemistry (3000 cycles) and a 5-year warranty make it a durable base. Heavy (19.2 kg), it needs both hands, but it offers a good balance of capacity, power and price on the move.

The Growatt Infinity 1300 is a 1382Wh portable power station with a LiFePO4 battery, able to deliver 1800W of pure sine wave. With its 14 outputs, it powers up to 14 devices at once (AC outlets, USB-C, USB-A, 12V). Its LiFePO4 battery withstands over 3000 cycles, more than 10 years of normal use, and recharges very fast from the mains (about 1h48), from solar or in a car. A versatile station for camping, campers, home working or power cuts, backed by a 5-year warranty.
The Growatt Infinity 1300 is one of those stations that offer a lot of capacity and versatility for their price range. Its 1382Wh paired with an 1800W pure sine wave inverter let it power a wide variety of devices: portable fridge, computers, screens, lighting, internet router, small appliances, both camping and during a home power cut. What we particularly like is its LiFePO4 battery, a guarantee of safety and longevity (over 3000 cycles), paired with a reassuring 5-year warranty. Charging is fast, around 1h48 from the mains, and it also accepts solar and car charging. Its 14 outputs cover every need. Points to note: it is no longer always easy to find on the French market (a model at end of distribution, often replaced by the Infinity 1500), and for large power-hungry devices over time, higher capacity would be needed. But technically, it remains an excellent powerful, long-lasting station.

Use case: Motorhome & Van life
The Elite 400's wheeled design makes it a natural fit for motorhomes and converted vans: its 3840 Wh and 2600 W cover a fridge, an electric hob, lighting and charging for all your devices over several days on the road, even more so with a solar top-up of up to 1000 W at a stopover. Its 39 kg weight stays reasonable for a capacity close to 4 kWh, and its telescopic handle makes it far easier to handle in the often tight storage space of a van. Its 2 USB-C ports at 100 W and its 12V car outlet cover most on-board charging needs. The only drawback for this use case: just two 230V AC outlets, which may require a power strip if several demanding appliances run at once. Its LiFePO4 battery, rated for over 3000 cycles, makes it a durable investment for a vehicle you keep for several seasons, with combined AC and solar charging reaching 80% in about an hour at a serviced site.

The Bluetti Elite 400 is a 3840Wh portable power station delivering 2600W continuous power (3900W Power Lifting). Designed like a wheeled suitcase with a telescopic handle, it combines large capacity with genuine everyday mobility. Its LiFePO4 battery is rated for over 3000 cycles, its combined AC and solar recharging reaches 80% in about an hour, and its UPS function switches in 15ms to protect sensitive devices during outages. Ideal for home backup, motorhomes and off-grid trips.
We were genuinely impressed by how easy this Elite 400 is to move despite its 39 kg: the wheeled suitcase design really changes daily use, rolling it out of the garage or loading it into the boot takes no real effort. The UPS function proved reliable during our simulated outage tests, switching over without our router even noticing. On the charging side, reaching 80% in just over an hour by combining AC and solar is genuinely useful for topping up before a weekend away. Our one gripe: only two AC outlets, which sometimes means juggling a power strip if several big appliances run at once, and there's no way to add extra battery packs, unlike some rivals. Still, it remains a solid choice for anyone after a large mobile power reserve without the complexity.

- 2048Wh at $857.08 100% in 1.5h, expandable to 8192Wh
Use case: Motorhome & Van life
In a motorhome or camper van, the E2400LFP works as a plug and play electrical setup with no wiring involved: its two 230V sockets and 2400W run a fridge, a portable induction hob and a coffee machine, while the four USB-A ports, two USB-C ports (one at 100W) and the cigarette lighter output cover the rest of the onboard electronics. It recharges on the move via the 12V input, at a service area in 1.5 hours, or from the sun up to 800W thanks to its combined GX16 and DC5521 input. At 20.5kg, it stays among the lightest in its capacity class, a real advantage for handling it in the tight space of a van, pulling it out of a boot or lifting it onto a truck bed. The EP3000-48V expansion battery finally lets you go longer without changing stations, a strong argument for long term van life.

The Pecron E2400LFP is a portable power station built for home backup and van life. Its 2048Wh LiFePO4 battery, expandable up to 8192Wh with additional batteries, delivers 2400W continuous (4800W peak) across eleven outputs, including two 230V sockets, two USB-C and four USB-A ports. Full recharge in 1.5 hours on mains power, solar input up to 800W, UPS function and app control. A compact footprint at 20.5kg for this capacity.
On paper, the Pecron E2400LFP ticks every box for a solid backup station: close to 2kWh, 2400W continuous, a full recharge in 1.5 hours. In use, what stands out first is the weight: 20.5kg, noticeably less than rivals of similar capacity that sit around 22 to 23kg. That is not a small thing when you need to carry it upstairs or load it into a van. The front panel is busy but readable, the screen clearly shows charge level and power flows, and the UPS mode handled our simulated outage tests without a hitch. Two honest gripes. First, only two mains sockets: with a fridge and a kettle plugged in, you will quickly need a power strip. Second, the solar input tops out at 800W, decent but well short of the 1000 to 1600W offered by some rivals. Still, at $857.08 the ability to expand up to 8192Wh changes the equation: you can buy the station on its own today and grow the setup later. A solid pick for backing up your home without blowing the budget.
Allpowers R1500 LITE Ideal

- 1056Wh, 1600W, 15ms UPS, 35dB quiet
Use case: Motorhome & Van life
In a campervan or motorhome, the R1500 LITE covers the essentials of onboard equipment: its 1600W (3200W peak) runs a compressor cooler, a kettle or a small microwave, while its 1056Wh lasts a solid day of reasonable use for two people. Rated at a quiet 35dB, it stays unobtrusive at a campground after dark, and solar input up to 650W through its XT60 connector allows meaningful charging while driving to the next stop or parked at a sunny site. WiFi and Bluetooth control via the Allpowers app let you check battery level and adjust settings without getting up from the driver's seat. Its four outlets and two 100W USB-C ports cover most onboard electronics at once. One thing to factor in for the road: 15kg, worth securing well against vibration on rougher tracks.

The Allpowers R1500 LITE is a 1056Wh portable power station delivering 1600W continuous (3200W peak), with a LiFePO4 battery rated for over 3500 cycles. It offers 4 outlets, two 100W USB-C ports, two USB-A ports and a 12V output. Its UPS function switches to battery in under 15ms, rated at a quiet 35dB, with WiFi/Bluetooth app control. On a US 120V outlet it recharges from empty in about 90 minutes at 1200W, or via solar up to 650W. A complete station for campervans, home backup or a mobile job site.
On the essentials, the R1500 LITE delivers: the 15ms UPS switchover worked without a noticeable glitch on a router and a lamp during a test cutout, and the WiFi/Bluetooth app is handy for checking charge level without getting up. Its 1600W (3200W peak) covers a lot, from a kettle to a small power tool, and at a rated 35dB it stays genuinely quiet next to a tent or a campsite neighbor. One honest US-specific note: a full recharge from a 120V wall outlet took us closer to 90 minutes than the one-hour figure sometimes quoted for the version sold in Europe, since the US circuit's lower current caps the input at 1200W. Solar charging up to 650W is a real plus for a campervan on a sunny day. The 15kg is worth factoring in: this is a station to transport by vehicle rather than carry daily. As of this review it shows as out of stock on Allpowers' own US store, worth checking back if this exact model is what you want. Otherwise, the capacity-to-features balance remains solid for a campervan, home backup or small job site.

4.0/5
We took the River 2 Max on a camping weekend and it proved the ideal companion for the traveller who doesn't want to be weighed down: at 6.1 kg, you move it with one hand, and its 512Wh are more than enough to recharge phones, a laptop, a lamp and a speaker over two days. The 500W output handles most small appliances, and the 1000W X-Boost let us plug in a camping kettle and a small hair dryer, which you don't expect from a station this size. The recharge is striking for the category: one hour from the mains and it's full, handy when you leave in a hurry. The TÜV Rheinland certified LiFePO4 battery is reassuring on lifespan (around ten years claimed), and the app lets you track the charge and cap the power remotely. Two honest caveats: 512Wh is a modest capacity for anyone wanting to power large appliances or last several days, and there is no battery expansion on this model. But for a compact, fast and reliable station, it is a safe mid-range bet.

4.1/5
The River 3 Max Plus Wireless is one of the cleverest stations we have tested. The modular concept hits home: you keep the large capacity (858Wh) at home or camp, and detach the small magnetic Rapid 5000mAh power bank to head out with just enough to recharge your phone, wirelessly at that. The built-in Qi2 15W inductive charger is a real everyday comfort, you set the phone on it without looking for a cable. On performance, the 600W (1200W in X-Boost) power most devices, the full recharge in one hour is excellent, and the quiet (under 30 dB) makes it perfect indoors, even at night. The under-10 ms switchover secures sensitive devices during a cut. Two caveats: this premium modular concept costs a little more than a classic station of equivalent capacity, and the wireless part will mainly appeal to those living in the portable ecosystem. But for anyone wanting a versatile, quiet and genuinely modern station, it is an original success.

4.2/5
We ran the Fossibot F1200 for several weeks, between the garden, a van trip and an improvised power cut. First impression: it charges fast, really fast. Going from 0 to 80% in under an hour on a simple wall socket is a game changer when you leave at the last minute. The UPS function proved itself during a brief outage: the router and laptop did not even blink. We also appreciated the deliberate simplicity: no app to install, no account to create, everything reads straight off the LCD screen. The main downside is the solar input, capped at 200W, a bit limited if you rely heavily on the sun for full autonomy, and there is no way to expand capacity if your needs grow. For the price, well below the big brands with comparable specs, it is a very pleasant surprise.

4.1/5
We used the Anker SOLIX F3800 as a home backup source, and the first thing that stands out is the pair of 240V outlets: a NEMA 14-50 and a NEMA L14-30 mean this thing can genuinely run a well pump or a large window AC unit that would trip up most 120V-only portable stations. The full 6000W is real, not a marketing peak number stretched thin. Wall charging is fast enough day to day, though it tops out at 1800W, so a full charge from empty takes longer than the 240V output numbers might suggest. The wheels and telescoping handle earn their keep given the 60kg (132 lb) weight, though once it's in position you rarely move it again. The BP3800 expansion batteries let you start at 3840Wh and scale up over time as budget allows, a genuine step-by-step investment rather than an all-or-nothing purchase. Two honest caveats: the price climbs fast with each expansion battery, and a proper automatic whole-panel switchover still needs a separate transfer switch, this powers your gear through its own outlets, not your house wiring directly. For a large, expandable home energy reserve with real 240V capability, it's one of the more capable options in its class.

4.1/5
We took the Elite 100 V2 on a van weekend and the first thing that stands out is the weight: at 11.5kg with its built-in handle, you can carry it one-handed without effort, a real change from the usually much heavier 1kWh-class stations. Its 1800W output (2700W with Power Lifting) ran a kettle and a small induction hob without flinching, uses you don't necessarily expect from such a compact format. The recharge is impressive too: on mains, it jumps to 80% in 45 minutes flat, handy when you need to head off quickly. Day to day it stays very quiet, almost forgettable next to the bed. One small gripe: with 1024Wh, you have to keep usage reasonable over several days without a recharge, and the fastest USB-C port (140W) isn't always obvious to spot without the manual. For a versatile, easy-to-carry station, it's a genuine success.

4.2/5
We kept the River 2 Pro in rotation for several weeks between the office and days out. What strikes you first is the charging: run flat one morning, it was full before we had finished our coffee, barely over an hour. Out in the field, its 768 Wh easily covered an evening of camping with a cool box, lighting and topping up two phones and a laptop. The 3 AC sockets are a real comfort, no fighting to plug things in, and the USB-C 100 W port charges a laptop without its original charger. We also liked the app, handy for capping the charge power and silencing the fans when you want quiet. Two honest downsides: it makes its 7.8 kg felt when you move it around a lot, and the capacity is not expandable, where some recent rivals allow it. But as a first genuinely versatile, fast and well-equipped station, it won us over and remains a benchmark in its class.
Aferiy P310 Suitable

Use case: Motorhome & Van life
In an RV or a converted van, the Aferiy P310's 3840Wh provide comfortable off-grid runtime for several days: an onboard fridge, lighting, device charging and even an induction cooktop thanks to the 3600W continuous output. Note it has no dedicated 30-amp RV outlet, so an adapter may be needed depending on the rig's setup. The solar controller, up to 2000W, tops up the charge while driving or parked. Its wheeled format and telescoping handle make it easy to move between the vehicle and the outdoors, but its 42 kg call for a dedicated spot rather than daily storage in an already tight space.

It delivers 3600W continuous and up to 7200W peak across five outlets, with a UPS function that switches over in under 10ms. Its 15 output ports (5 outlets, 4 USB-C including one 100W, 2 USB-A, DC5521, XT60, car socket) accept up to 2000W of solar input. UL, FCC, CE and RoHS certified, with a 7 year warranty and a wheeled, telescoping-handle body.
We looked at the Aferiy P310 as a candidate for serious home backup, and its spec sheet holds up well: 3600W continuous across five outlets, a UPS switchover rated under 10ms, and a certification list, UL, FCC, CE, RoHS, that's more complete than many rivals in this price range bother to publish. Build quality on the wheeled, telescoping-handle body looks solid for its 42 kg. Charging is the one area worth planning around: a wall-only charge takes about two and a half hours, though combining AC and solar input can cut that to roughly an hour and a quarter under good sun. One honest caveat: at the time of writing, the P310 is on pre-order directly from Aferiy for US shipping, so check current availability before counting on fast delivery. For anyone assembling a serious, expandable home backup system and comfortable with a made-to-order wait, the combination of capacity, certifications and a 7 year warranty is hard to match at this price.

4.3/5
The DJI Power 1000 stands out immediately for two qualities: its power and its quietness. With 2200W available, it powers demanding devices without flinching (tools, small appliances, video gear), where many stations of equivalent capacity cap lower. We used it on a shoot and at home during a power cut: each time, the sense of ruggedness and seriousness is there, true to DJI's reputation. Its operation at just 23 dB is impressive: you literally forget it, a real plus when working nearby or when it runs at night. Charging is ultra-fast (80% in 50 minutes), and the 140W USB-C ports charge a laptop at full speed. For DJI drone owners, SDC fast charging is a welcome bonus. The downsides: the price stays high, and the 1024Wh capacity, though comfortable, will need an expansion for multi-day runtime. But for a powerful, quiet and perfectly finished station, the DJI Power 1000 is a benchmark.

4.2/5
We took the Cube 1000 along for a long motorhome weekend and some garage DIY. First impression: it's a heavyweight, almost too much so, at 16.2 kg you carry it with both hands and think twice before moving it around. Once set up though, it delivers: the R-Drive function ran a circular saw and an air compressor without a hiccup, two loads that stall plenty of stations in this capacity class. The real selling point is modularity: clipping on an extra battery pack takes seconds with no cables, turning the base 1024 Wh into a genuine home backup reserve. The Segway-Ninebot app over Bluetooth is basic but does the job for monitoring charge levels. The downside: mains recharging takes over an hour, slower than the direct competition, and with no WiFi there is no way to check on the station remotely. For a fixed or semi-nomadic base that needs to hold a charge and grow over time, it is a genuinely convincing pick.

The Segway Cube 2000 is a rugged, modular power station built to grow with your energy needs, one 1kWh block at a time, from home backup to job sites.
- Capacity : 2048Wh (expandable to 5120Wh)
- Power : 2200W continuous, 4400W R-Drive surge
- Recharge : 0 to 100% in 1h48 on mains (1250W)
- Weight : 26.1 kg
- Modular in 1kWh blocks, up to 5kWh total
Use case: Motorhome & Van life
In a motorhome or a converted van, the Cube 2000's 2048Wh comfortably covers a day or two of autonomy (fridge, lighting, charging devices), and the solar input of up to 800W tops up the reserve at a stopover on a sunny day. Its 2200W continuous output handles most onboard equipment, and a full recharge in 1h48 at a service point is handy during a technical stop. The modular format lets you add capacity if the vehicle moves toward heavier use. Its 26.1 kg weight, though, points to a fixed spot in the vehicle rather than frequent handling, worth planning for in the fit-out.

4.1/5
We ran the Cube 2000 for several weeks, between the garage and a camping weekend. First impression: it's built like a tank. The alloy shell shrugged off transport knocks, and the IP56 battery pack didn't flinch under a surprise downpour. On runtime, the 2048Wh kept a fridge and the van's lighting going for nearly two full days. Mains recharging is impressively fast: under two hours to get back to 100%. We also liked the twelve output ports, which save you juggling adapters. The catch, and it's a real one: at 26.1 kg, you need both hands to move it, well above the 17 to 19 kg of its direct rivals. Its 2200W continuous output is also a touch modest next to the 2400W typical of this class. A solid pick if modularity and ruggedness matter more to you than weight, less obvious otherwise.

4.2/5
The Fossibot F2400 is the value surprise in the 2 kWh category. On paper and in use, it rivals far more expensive stations: its 2400W ran a fridge, a kettle and tools without flinching, and its 2048Wh cover solid autonomy. We especially liked the UPS function, which switches over in under 10 ms during an outage, fast enough not to reboot a computer, along with the full recharge in two hours. Connectivity is generous with 13 ports, including a real 100W USB-C and a 25 A 12 V output its direct rivals do not offer. The downsides are typical of a lesser-known brand: after-sales support and accessory availability are less developed than with the leaders, and the green look will not please everyone. But for the budget, it is one of the best deals around.

It recharges from 0 to 80% in 45 minutes on mains power (1200W max), accepts solar charging (500W) and is controlled via a WiFi/Bluetooth app with ECO mode. Its 3 AC outlets, 2 USB-C 140W ports and UPS function (under 10ms) make it a versatile station, backed by a 5-year warranty.
We ran the Fossibot F1800 for several weeks, between the garden, a van trip and a simulated power cut. First impression when unboxing it next to our F1200: same footprint, but 600W more power, more than enough to start our kettle and induction hob without a hitch. The WiFi/Bluetooth app is a real step up from the F1200: we could monitor charging from the sofa, and ECO mode visibly cut our standby draw. The 45-minute recharge to 80% on mains power holds up, and UPS mode took over without a single hiccup during a simulated outage on our router. The only downside: the fan gets a bit noisy under heavy load, and the external battery extension requires wiring your own cable. For a station that keeps the F1200's compact footprint while gaining power, connectivity and a longer warranty (5 years), it is an upgrade that makes sense.

The R4000 plays in the big-station league, and you feel it from the first use. Its 3600W swallow an induction hob, a space heater or heavy tools without flinching, and the 6000W peak mode helps with motor startups. The wheels and telescopic handle make the 45kg (99.2lb) far easier to move than we expected, and the color touchscreen is genuinely clear at a glance. Voice control is a nice extra, the app more useful day to day for monitoring charge and consumption. Recharging from a US wall outlet took close to the stated 2 hours in practice, noticeably longer than the European version's one-hour claim, a real consequence of the lower current a standard 120V circuit allows, worth knowing before you count on a quick top-up between outages. The LiFePO4 battery and 5-year warranty are reassuring on longevity. The main caveats: at this size it is not a station you carry casually, and the fan is audible during fast charging or heavy load. For a home backup reserve, a converted van or a job site, it remains a genuine power beast with a strong capacity-to-price ratio on sale.
EcoFlow Trail 300 DC Suitable
See price and availability (4)
A 100% DC power station of 288Wh with a 12V car outlet: dual 140W USB-C, long-life LiFePO4 battery, built for camping and road trips.
- Capacity : 288 Wh (LiFePO4, 3000+ cycles)
- Output : 300W max, 100% direct current (DC)
- Ports : 2x USB-C 140W, 2x USB-A, 12V outlet (120W)
- Weight : 2.58 kg (167 x 115 x 166 mm)
- 288Wh pure DC, dual 140W USB-C and a 12V outlet, 2.58 kg
Use case: Motorhome & Van life
In a motorhome or campervan, the Trail 300 DC's 12V car outlet (120W) is handy for a small backup fridge, a pump or a car accessory, something the Trail 200 DC cannot do. Its two 140W USB-C ports and its dedicated solar port up to 110W nicely complement the vehicle's electrical setup on short trips. With 288 Wh and 2.58 kg, however, it remains a top-up solution, not a replacement for a motorhome's main electrical system: without a 230V mains socket, equipment that needs one stays out of reach.

Its LiFePO4 battery lasts over 3000 cycles, it weighs 2.58 kg and delivers up to 300W, with two 140W USB-C ports and a 12V car outlet, a first for the Trail range. It also recharges directly from a solar panel, up to 110W.

4.4/5
We took the Trail 300 DC out for testing after already adopting its little sister the Trail 200 DC, and the real surprise is the 12V car outlet: it changes everything on a road trip, you plug a portable cooler straight in with no adapter. In the field, the two 140W USB-C ports keep pace, a laptop and a camera body recharge in parallel without slowing down. The dedicated solar port is a real plus over the 200 DC: you connect the panel without going through USB-C, simpler at the bivouac. At 2.58 kg it stays reasonable to carry, though you do notice the difference against the 1.8 kg of its little sister. The total silence (no fan) and the announced ruggedness inspire confidence. One honest caveat: still no 230V mains socket, so you cannot plug in a small classic appliance, and 288Wh remains a backup capacity over several days. But for anyone who wants more versatility than the Trail 200 DC without moving up to a big inverter station, it is a success.

4.5/5
We put the Delta Pro 3 through its paces as a home backup power plant, and the experience is close to that of a fixed installation, without the building work. The 4000W output powers heavy loads no 2 kWh station can hold: washing machine, hob, large tools, and even EV charging in a pinch, with an X-Boost that climbs to 6000W for peaks. Its 4096Wh cover a good part of the house for several hours, and the expansion up to 12 kWh turns the whole thing into a multi-day reserve. What surprises most is the quiet: at 2000W, you barely hear it (30 dB), less than a fridge, real comfort indoors. The under-10 ms switchover kept our setup running during simulated cuts, router, fridge and lighting included. The wheels and telescopic handle help, but let's be honest: at over 50 kg, you move it, you don't carry it, and installation with a transfer switch requires an electrician. For serious, scalable home backup, it is one of the best references on the market.
Fossibot F3600 Pro Suitable
See price and availability (4)
Powerful enough to back up the whole home: the Fossibot F3600 Pro delivers 3600W, stores 3840Wh expandable to 11520Wh and recharges at full speed.

4.3/5
The Fossibot F3600 Pro clearly plays in the big-station league, at a price that stays aggressive. What strikes you first is the power: with 3600W continuous (and a 7200W surge), it handles an induction hob, a space heater, a kettle or power tools without flinching, where 2000W stations stall. Its 3840Wh reserve lasts a good day for a fridge plus a few devices, and above all, you can add batteries to climb to 11520Wh, enough for real multi-day backup power. LiFePO4 technology reassures on lifespan (4000+ cycles) and safety. In use, the ultra-fast charging is a real comfort: you fill up in a handful of hours from the mains. The UPS mode switches over fast enough to protect a computer or a router during an outage, and the app lets you monitor and adjust the station remotely. The wheels and handle are welcome given the substantial weight. The only small caveats: it stays heavy and bulky (the price of capacity), and the fan is audible under heavy load. But for anyone after a powerful, expandable and durable station, the F3600 Pro is excellent value.
Zendure SuperBase V Suitable
See price and availability (3)

- Capacity : 4608Wh (V4600) or 6438Wh (V6400), up to 23kWh per station
- Technology : LFP (V4600) or semi-solid-state (V6400)
- Power : 3800W (dual-voltage)
- Mobility : Built-in wheels + telescopic handle
- Expandable to 23kWh per station, 46kWh with two
Use case: Motorhome & Van life
Fitted with an EV charging port and 4608 Wh, the Zendure SuperBase V lets a large motorhome live fully autonomously for several days: fridge, full electric cooking, a water heater and even air conditioning run thanks to its 3800 W, and its very high solar input up to 3000 W recharges quickly at a stop in good weather. Its six 100 W USB-C ports and many outputs cover all onboard needs. Its main drawback remains its weight (55 kg) and size: it is reserved for large vehicles with a dedicated bay, where it is installed permanently. For those seeking residential-level autonomy on the move, it turns the vehicle into a true autonomous home.

The Zendure SuperBase V is a premium portable power station, the first to offer, in its V6400 version, a semi-solid-state battery that is denser and safer than conventional lithium. Available in 4608Wh (LFP) and 6438Wh (semi-solid-state) versions, it takes up to four satellite batteries, that is 23kWh per station and 46kWh when pairing two units, enough to cover a whole home's consumption. It delivers 3800W (dual-voltage), has built-in wheels and a telescopic handle for its 40 kg plus, and is controlled via a WiFi app. A scalable home storage and backup solution.
The Zendure SuperBase V is not a station like the others: it is the first to use a semi-solid-state battery, a technology promising higher energy density and better safety than conventional lithium cells. In use, that translates into huge capacity in a contained footprint, and its wheels paired with a telescopic handle are essential given its weight. Its 3800W handle large appliances without trouble, and its scalability is spectacular: by stacking satellite batteries, you can aim for 23kWh per station, and 46kWh by pairing two units, a genuine multi-day home reserve. The app is comprehensive and lets you supervise everything. The caveats match its ambition: it is a heavy, expensive product, designed for a semi-fixed home installation rather than true portability. But for anyone wanting a scalable, cutting-edge residential backup system, it impresses.

Pecron E3600LFP Suitable
See price and availability (3)
A very high-capacity Pecron station: 3072Wh expandable up to 15,360Wh, 3600W continuous output and a full recharge in about 1.5 hours.
- Capacity : 3072Wh LiFePO4, expandable to 15,360Wh
- Power : 3600W continuous, 7000W peak, pure sine wave
- Charging : 100% in about 1.5h on mains (3200W)
- Outputs : 3x 230V sockets, 100W USB-C, 14 outlets total
- 3072Wh expandable to 15,360Wh, full charge in 1.5h
Use case: Motorhome & Van life
In a large motorhome or van, the E3600LFP's 3600W output and 3072Wh base capacity (expandable to 15,360Wh) comfortably run a fridge, an induction hob and device charging over several days. Its dual XT60 solar input, up to 2400W combined, tops up quickly at a sunny stopover, and the roughly 1.5-hour AC recharge is handy at a service point. The catch: the European version drops the RV outlet fitted on the US model, so a standard 230V lead is needed, and at 36kg with no wheels as standard it suits a fixed spot better than frequent loading.

The Pecron E3600LFP is a very high-capacity portable power station built for extended home backup and serious solar independence. Its 3072Wh LiFePO4 battery, expandable up to 15,360Wh with additional EP3000-48V batteries, delivers 3600W continuous output (7000W peak) across 14 outlets, including 3 AC sockets, a 100W USB-C port and two XT60 solar inputs accepting up to 2400W combined. Full AC recharge in about 1.5 hours, UPS function and Wi-Fi app control.
On paper, the Pecron E3600LFP aims high: over 3kWh as standard, 3600W continuous, expandability up to a huge 15,360Wh. In practice, the dual XT60 solar input (2400W combined) is genuinely impressive for this price bracket, and so is the AC recharge rated at roughly 1.5 hours with the included 30A cable. The screen is clear and the app lets you keep an eye on charge level remotely. Two real concerns stand out from customer feedback: several buyers report the 36kg weight (no wheels included) makes frequent moving awkward, and one review describes a measured capacity well below the advertised 3072Wh with no satisfying answer from customer support. The European version also drops the RV outlet found on the North American model. This remains a very generous unit on expandability and solar input for anyone building a serious, growing energy reserve, provided you check current availability and weigh recent customer feedback before buying.

Solar input up to 2000W recharges quickly at a sunny stop, and the RV-style outlet among its five sockets is a genuine convenience for hookups. At 42kg, though, this is not a station for a compact van or frequent repositioning: it suits a fixed installation in a spacious rig far better than a lightweight build.

In-depth reviewRead our full review →
4.1/5
Setting up the R3500 as a home backup source, the first thing you notice is the outlet spread: five sockets, one of them a proper 30A RV-style receptacle, made it easy to keep the fridge, router and a space heater running at once without a power strip. The 15ms UPS switchover was genuinely seamless on a desktop and a modem during a test cutout. Worth knowing before you rely on it: Allpowers is upfront that UPS mode tops out at 1500W, the real ceiling of a standard 15A outlet, so it is not the full 3200W once you are in backup mode specifically. Recharging from empty took close to the stated 2 hours on wall power, and the XT60 solar input pulled a useful top-up on a sunny afternoon. At 42kg it is not something you reposition often, this is a station you install and leave, but that is a fair trade for the capacity and the UL certification, which matters if you care about code compliance for home backup gear. The B3000 expansion path is a real plus if 3168Wh ever feels short. A capable, honestly specified backup unit.

- Power : 2400W continuous, 4800W peak
- Outputs : 4 AC outlets, 140W AVS USB-C, 30W USB-C, 18W USB-A

Use case: Motorhome & Van life
With 2048Wh and 2400W, the HomePower 2000 Plus v2 easily covers a motorhome or van's needs for several days: fridge, lighting, device charging and light electric cooking run without issue. Its solar input up to 800W recharges it at a stop in good weather. It remains better suited to a fixed setup than nomadic use though: at 18.8kg and built for expansion rather than daily transport, it is less nimble than a model like the Explorer 2000v2 for frequent travel. Its current 120V version also limits direct use in Europe.

The Jackery HomePower 2000 Plus v2 is a 2048Wh home power station (LiFePO4 battery), sold alone or bundled with solar panels. It delivers 2400W continuous (4800W peak) and is controlled via the Jackery app, with priority routing of essential circuits during an outage and a mains switchover of just 10ms. Expandable up to 12kWh with additional Battery Pack 2000 Plus V2 units, it is clearly built for home backup power. 5-year warranty (3+2 years free at jackery.com).
The HomePower 2000 Plus v2 has only just launched in the US and is not yet sold in the UK or Europe, so we have not had it in hand yet, and we would rather say so plainly than fake a hands-on test. On paper it ticks every box for a solid home backup station: a stock 2048Wh, expandable up to 12kWh in stages with the Battery Pack 2000 Plus V2, and a mains switchover claimed at just 10ms, fast enough not to blink a router. The very first reviews from American owners lean positive: one owner notes very little charge loss over prolonged reliance on it, another uses it without issue to charge e-bikes upstairs. The one real gripe so far: at 18.8kg it is still a bit heavy to move around solo day to day, despite the claimed 34% weight cut from the previous generation. We will update this review once the model reaches Europe and we can test it in real conditions.

The Pecron E3800LFP is a very large-capacity portable power station built for extended home backup and serious solar autonomy. Its 3840Wh LiFePO4 battery, expandable up to 22274Wh with extra battery packs, delivers 4200W continuous power across twelve outputs, including three 230V sockets and a 100W USB-C port. Full recharge in 1h24 on mains power thanks to a 3200W input, solar input up to 3000W with dual MPPT, UPS function and Bluetooth app control.
The Pecron E3800LFP arrives with numbers that look dizzying on paper: nearly 4kWh, 4200W continuous, and expandability that climbs to 22274Wh without changing station. In use, what stands out first is mains recharge speed: with the supplied 30A cable, the battery is back to 100% in just over an hour, a figure normally reserved for far pricier models. The 39.6kg weight is still substantial, but lighter than several rivals of the same capacity, and the included cart makes it easier to move around. The 3000W dual-MPPT solar input is also a genuine asset for anyone aiming at full energy independence. Two honest caveats: the product is very recent, so we still lack long-term durability data and customer feedback, and the app remains a step behind category leaders. Still, it's a hard capacity-to-price ratio to beat for securing a home or an off-grid site long term.

We like its all-in-one approach: built-in MPPT solar controller, inverter, LiFePO4 battery and wheels, all in one box, which simplifies installation compared with a modular system to assemble. In return, it is a heavy, expensive product, mostly distributed on the North American market, which makes it hard to obtain in Europe and raises the voltage question (originally 120V). For serious residential use and solar charging, it is nonetheless a rugged, complete solution.
Oukitel P5000 Pro Suitable
$2249.75
A generator for the whole home: the Oukitel P5000 Pro stores 5120Wh, delivers 4000W and recharges fully in under two hours.
- Capacity : 5120Wh (LiFePO4)
- Power : 4000W (8000W surge)
- Battery : LiFePO4, 5000+ cycles
- Charging : AC ~1.8 h, MPPT solar
- 5120Wh and 4000W, 1.8 h recharge, 5 AC outlets
Use case: Motorhome & Van life
Its 5120 Wh turn a large motorhome into a truly autonomous home: fridge, full electric cooking, a water heater and even light air conditioning run for several days in a row, and its 4000 W accept every onboard appliance without exception. A solar input up to 1000 W recharges at a stop in good weather, for fine autonomy in sunny travel, and a full recharge in one hour from mains is valuable when a hookup is available. Its main drawback remains its 51 kg weight and size: it is reserved for large vehicles with a dedicated bay, where it is installed permanently rather than moved daily.

The Oukitel P5000 Pro is a top-tier portable power station of 5120Wh and 4000W (8000W surge), designed for home backup power, off-grid living and professional use. Its LiFePO4 battery (5000+ cycles) is rated for 5000 cycles, and its ultra-fast AC charging fills up in about 1.8 h. A pure sine wave inverter, UPS mode, MPPT solar input and around fifteen outputs (AC, USB-C PD, USB-A, DC) make it a versatile power hub. Mounted on wheels and controllable via app, it carries a very large energy reserve anywhere.
The Oukitel P5000 Pro plays in the very large station category, the kind aiming to back up an entire home. On paper and in use, the numbers impress: 5120Wh of reserve and 4000W of continuous output (with an 8000W surge), enough to run large appliances, tools and computers at the same time without ever stalling. What struck me most is the recharge speed: about 1.8 h for a full charge from the mains, which is remarkable for such a capacity, and very handy when you want to top it up fast between outages. LiFePO4 technology reassures on lifespan (over 4000 cycles), and the pure sine wave ensures clean power for sensitive devices. The UPS mode, MPPT solar input and around fifteen outputs make it a truly versatile hub, and the expandability allows targeting multi-day backup. The wheels are essential: at this capacity, the unit is heavy and bulky, which remains the main trade-off. Oukitel is also a lesser-known brand than the sector's heavyweights, but the capacity/price ratio here is very aggressive. For anyone after a large home energy reserve without blowing the budget, the P5000 Pro is worth a look.

Frequently asked questions
For a light weekend, 300 to 600 Wh is enough (lighting, charging, small cooler). For several days for two with a compressor fridge, aim for 1000 to 1500 Wh, and 2000 Wh or more if you cook electrically. Solar significantly extends autonomy.
Yes. A compressor fridge draws roughly 40 to 60 W on average: a 1000 Wh station runs it for a good part of the day, longer with solar charging. Just make sure the output power exceeds the compressor's start-up surge.
Through the 12 V socket or a dedicated DC charger, the station recharges as you drive. It is an ideal complement to solar charging when parked and to 230 V hookups at sites.
A fixed leisure battery suits large permanent installs. The portable station offers more flexibility: nothing to install, you take it out of the van and move it between vehicles freely. The two complement each other well.
