4.1/5
We carried the Explorer 1000 v2 over several weekends, and it's exactly the format we hoped for from Jackery. At 10.8 kg with a folding handle, it slips into the trunk without a fight, yet it still puts out 1500W continuously, enough to run a kettle or an induction burner while camping, which many stations this size can't do. The 1070Wh easily cover a night of camping fridge plus charging phones and a laptop. Recharging is a real highlight: in emergency mode via the app, we got close to a full charge in about an hour on a regular outlet, versus roughly an hour and a half in standard mode, and quiet mode drops noise below 30dB, so you forget it's there. The 100W USB-C port is perfect for a laptop. Jackery advertises a 5-year total warranty on this unit (3 years standard, plus 2 more when registered directly with Jackery), worth confirming at checkout depending on where you buy. The only small gripe is the fairly basic screen and the fan spinning up in the fastest charge mode. Otherwise, it's a solid, well-built, dependable choice.

4.4/5
We put the C1000 Gen 2 through its paces at home and on weekends, and its recharge speed is stunning: barely more than a lunch break and it's full, which changes everything when you leave on short notice. It kept the fridge, the router and two laptops going for a good part of the day, and the UPS switchover during a test outage went completely unnoticed. We love how compact it is (11.3 kg, you move it one-handed) and how quiet it stays at rest. The app lets you switch to UltraFast mode or, conversely, cap the input to quiet the fans, which are a little present during fast charging. Two honest gripes: unlike the older C1000X, this generation isn't expandable, and 2000W remains a ceiling for the very largest appliances. As a compact, reliable, ultra-fast-charging station, it's hard to fault.

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.
EcoFlow River 2 Max
$607.95 (16)
512Wh, 500W and only 6.1 kg: the compact station that recharges 0 to 100% in one hour and powers 80% of your essential devices thanks to X-Boost.
- Capacity: 512 Wh (LiFePO4, TÜV certified)
- Output: 500W (X-Boost up to 1000W)
- Recharge: 0 to 100% in 60 min (mains)
- Weight: 6.1 kg, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi app
- 512Wh, 1000W X-Boost, 6.1 kg
The EcoFlow River 2 Max is a compact 512Wh portable power station that plays on balance: enough capacity for a weekend, light enough (6.1 kg) to set off easily. It delivers 500W of continuous output, pushed to 1000W with X-Boost, enough to power up to 80% of essential devices. Its LiFePO4 battery, TÜV Rheinland certified, promises 10 years of use, and its recharge is among the fastest in the segment: 0 to 100% in 60 minutes. Four charge modes (mains, car, solar, USB-C) and app control complete the picture.

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.
Anker Solix C800
See price and availability (15)
768 Wh, 1200 W (1600 W peak) and five AC outlets: the Anker Solix C800 recharges fully in 58 minutes and switches to UPS mode in under 20 ms.
- Capacity: 768 Wh (LiFePO4, 3000 cycles)
- AC output: 1200 W, up to 1600 W peak, 5 AC outlets
- Recharge: 0 to 100% in 58 min, solar up to 300 W
- UPS: Switches to battery in under 20 ms
- Five AC outlets and a full recharge in 58 minutes
The Anker Solix C800 is a 768 Wh portable power station with a LiFePO4 battery, rated for 3000 cycles and backed by a 5-year warranty. It delivers 1200 W continuous (up to 1600 W with SurgePad) through five AC outlets, two USB-C ports up to 100 W and two USB-A ports. Its UPS function switches to battery in under 20 ms during an outage, and a full recharge takes just 58 minutes on mains power, or up to 300 W via solar. Compact (10.5 kg) and controllable through the Anker app, it fills the gap between the C300X DC and the C1000 in the Solix lineup.
We ran the Anker Solix C800 for several weeks, between camping weekends and a simulated power cut at home, and its versatility is impressive for this size. The five AC outlets genuinely change the game at an evening get-together: fairy lights, a speaker and a kettle plugged in at once, no power strip juggling required. The 58-minute recharge lives up to the promise, a real plus when you head out at short notice. The UPS switchover during a test outage went completely unnoticed, the router and computer didn't even flicker. We also like the sturdy handle and the clear, readable screen. Two honest gripes: at 10.5 kg it travels far better in a car than on your back, and the Anker app remains fairly basic compared to the competition. For a versatile home backup or a well-equipped camping trip without breaking the bank, it remains a solid choice.
Fossibot F1200
$512.72 (12)
With 1024Wh, 1200W continuous output and a 0-80% recharge in just 49 minutes, the Fossibot F1200 keeps things simple, no app, no Bluetooth.
- Capacity: 1024Wh (LiFePO4 battery)
- Power: 1200W continuous, 2400W peak
- Recharge: 0-80% in 49 min (1000W mains)
- Weight: 11.5kg
- 0-80% recharge in 49 min, no app or Bluetooth
The Fossibot F1200 is a 1024Wh portable power station with a LiFePO4 battery, delivering 1200W continuous output (2400W peak). It recharges from 0 to 80% in 49 minutes on mains power thanks to an adjustable input up to 1000W, and also accepts solar (200W max) and 12V car charging. Its UPS function switches over in under 10ms. With no app or Bluetooth, it is controlled entirely from its LCD screen and buttons, at a price well below the market's leading brands.
In-depth reviewRead our full review →
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.
EcoFlow Delta 3
See price and availability (9)
1024Wh, 1800W output and a full recharge in under an hour: the versatile station that powers 90% of your devices, at home and while camping.
- Capacity: 1024 Wh (LiFePO4, 4000 cycles)
- Output: 1800W (X-Boost up to 2400W)
- Recharge: 0 to 100% in 56 min (mains)
- Expandable: From 1 to 5 kWh (add-on batteries)
- 1024Wh, 1800W, recharge in 56 min
The EcoFlow Delta 3 is a 1024Wh portable power station that ticks every box: 1800W output (up to 2400W with X-Boost) to power almost all household appliances, a LiFePO4 battery that lasts 4000 cycles (around 10 years), and an ultra-fast recharge from 0 to 100% in 56 minutes from the mains. Expandable from 1 to 5 kWh with add-on batteries, it also works as backup power thanks to its automatic switchover. Excellent capacity for the price, whether for camping, remote work or power cuts.
In-depth reviewRead our full review →
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
$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
The DJI Power 1000 Mini keeps the 1 kWh capacity of its bigger sibling but in a far more compact body, barely 11.5 kg for 31 cm wide. Its LiFePO4 battery targets 4000 cycles, its two 230 V sockets deliver 800 W continuous (1000 W peak) and it reaches 80% charge in 58 minutes from the mains. DJI adds what it does best: a built-in retractable USB-C cable, two 100 W USB-C ports for drone and camera batteries, a 400 W MPPT module and notably quiet operation.
In-depth reviewRead our full review →
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.
Bluetti AC180
See price and availability (9)
1152Wh and 1800W in a portable format: the versatile power station that runs almost anything and recharges to 80% in 45 minutes. Camping, van and home backup.
- Capacity: 1152 Wh (LiFePO4)
- Power: 1800 W (2700 W Power Lifting)
- Recharge: 0-80% in 45 min (mains)
- Outputs: 9 outputs (2 AC, USB-C 100W, 4 USB-A, 12V)
- 1152Wh, 1800W, 80% in 45 min
The Bluetti AC180 is a 1152 Wh portable power station that delivers 1800 W continuous, and up to 2700 W thanks to Power Lifting mode for resistive appliances. Its LiFePO4 battery targets over 3500 cycles, a mark of longevity. It lines up 9 outputs (2 AC sockets, USB-C 100W, 4 USB-A, 12V, 15W wireless charging) to power a fridge as easily as a laptop. Its big asset: a lightning recharge from 0 to 80% in just 45 minutes on mains, and four charging modes (mains, solar up to 500W, car, generator). Controllable via the Bluetti app.
In-depth reviewRead our full review →
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.
EcoFlow River 2 Pro
See price and availability (9)
Powerful, quick to recharge and generous with sockets, the 768 Wh EcoFlow River 2 Pro follows you from camping to home-office backup.
- Capacity: 768 Wh
- Power: 800 W (1600 W X-Boost)
- Recharge: 0 to 100% in 70 min from mains
- Weight: 7.8 kg
- Full recharge in 70 min, 768 Wh and 3 AC sockets
With 768 Wh, 800 W (up to 1600 W peak) and a full recharge in 70 minutes, the River 2 Pro runs a fridge, a computer, light power tools and camping gear without flinching. Its 3 AC sockets, USB-C 100 W port and LFP battery rated for 3000 cycles make it a reliable, versatile companion, from van life to off-grid trips and home power cuts. Quiet in moderate use and controllable through the EcoFlow app.
In-depth reviewRead our full review →
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.
EcoFlow Delta 3 Plus
See price and availability (8)
The Delta 3 with the works: dual 1000 W solar input, 140 W USB-C and an advanced inverter, in a 1024 Wh station expandable to 5 kWh.
- Capacity: 1024 Wh (LiFePO4, 4000 cycles)
- Output: 1800 W (X-Boost 2400 W)
- Solar: Dual MPPT up to 1000 W
- Recharge: 0 to 100% in 56 min (mains)
- Dual 1000 W solar, 140 W USB-C, NAS-ready UPS
The EcoFlow Delta 3 Plus takes the excellent Delta 3 base (1024 Wh LiFePO4, 1800 W, 56-minute recharge, expandable to 5 kWh) and adds the features that make the difference: a dual solar input up to 1000 W (two MPPT) to recharge twice as fast in the sun, 140 W USB-C ports for powerful laptops, and an advanced inverter with NAS and HID support that protects a storage server during an outage. A versatile station designed for the connected office, the van and home backup.
In-depth reviewRead our full review →
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.
DJI Power 2000
See price and availability (8)
With 2048 Wh expandable, 3000 W output, a 0-80% recharge in 45 min and near-silent operation, the DJI Power 2000 targets the most demanding uses.
- Capacity: 2048 Wh, expandable beyond 22 kWh (LFP battery)
- AC output: 3000 W stable, 4 AC outlets, pure sine wave
- Recharge: 0 to 80% in 45 min from the mains, solar up to 1200 W

In-depth reviewRead our full review →
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.
DJI Power 1000
$561.59 (8)
Powerful and quiet: the DJI Power 1000 delivers 2200W from 1024Wh, recharges to 80% in 50 minutes and stays under 23 dB. The ideal power station for nomadic creators.
- Power: 2200W continuous (4400W surge)
- Capacity: 1024Wh LiFePO4
- Recharge: 0 to 80% in 50 min
- Noise: 23 dB (ultra-quiet)
- 2200W quiet, USB-C 140W and DJI SDC charging
The DJI Power 1000 is a 1024Wh portable power station with a LiFePO4 battery, able to deliver 2200W continuous (2600W maximum output for 60 s, 4400W surge). It recharges from 0 to 80% in about 50 minutes, and has USB-C ports up to 140W plus AC outlets. Its strength is its ultra-quiet operation (23 dB), ideal for work, camping or night use. It also offers fast charging of certain DJI drones via its SDC ports. Sturdy and compact, it is a versatile station designed for creators and nomadic use.
In-depth reviewRead our full review →
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.
Segway Cube 1000
$1024.77 (7)
Expandable from 1024 Wh to 5120 Wh with cable-free add-on batteries, plus 2200 W continuous and 4400 W peak: the Segway Cube 1000 grows with your power needs.
- Capacity: 1024 Wh, expandable up to 5120 Wh (LFP battery)

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.

- Capacity: 1024Wh (expandable to 5120Wh), LiFePO4
- AC output: 1800W, up to 3600W peak, 4 outlets
- Recharge: 0-80% in 55 min on mains, under 30dB
- Certifications: UL listed, 7-year support
- Expandable to 5120Wh, UL listed, under 30dB
The Aferiy P180 is a 1024Wh portable power station with a LiFePO4 battery (4000+ cycles), delivering 1800W continuous and up to 3600W peak across four AC outlets on the US model. It recharges 0 to 80% in about 55 minutes on the wall and stays under 30dB in normal use. A UPS function switches over in under 10ms, and Aferiy advertises the line as expandable up to 5120Wh with additional battery packs. UL listed, app controlled over Bluetooth and WiFi, weighing 11.64kg (25.6lb).
We came into the Aferiy P180 expecting the same fixed-capacity unit sold in Europe, and the US listing tells a different story: real buyers describe connecting an expansion battery, and Aferiy markets this line as expandable up to 5120Wh, a genuine upgrade over the non-expandable EU spec. In use, the four AC outlets and 1800W continuous output ran a window AC unit, a coffee maker and a portable washing machine in separate reviewer accounts, with headroom to spare below the 3600W peak. Charging lives up to the claim, 0 to 80% in about 55 minutes on the wall, and multiple reviewers independently praised how quiet it stays, under 30dB, both idle and while charging. UL listing is a genuine reassurance for a unit meant to sit and wait for an outage. The one recurring gripe across the 109 US ratings (4.6 average): a handful of buyers call the companion app unreliable, one mentioning strange intermittent WiFi noise, so we would not lean on remote monitoring alone. For home backup or a camping setup that might grow, it is a strong pick.

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.

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.
Jackery Explorer 500 v2
$445.47 (6)
512Wh in an ultra-light 5.7 kg station you carry with one hand: the ideal companion for camping, vanlife and small outages, recharged in 1 hr 20 from the mains.
- Capacity: 512Wh (LiFePO4 battery)
- Power: 500W continuous, 1000W peak
- Outputs: 2 AC outlets, 2 USB-C, 1 USB-A, 1 car socket
- Recharge: Full in 1 hr 20 from the mains (1 hr with mains + solar)
- 512Wh in just 5.7 kg, carried one-handed
The Jackery Explorer 500 v2 is a compact 512Wh portable power station with a LiFePO4 battery, delivering 500W continuously (1000W peak). At just 5.7 kg and 27% more compact than average, it carries with one hand. It powers several devices via 2 AC outlets, 2 USB-C ports, a USB-A and a car socket, and fully recharges in about 1 hr 20 from the mains, or in one hour with a 100 W solar panel added. Its LiFePO4 battery lasts up to 6000 cycles, a lifespan of up to 10 years.

4.1/5
The Explorer 500 v2 is the station you take without a second thought: at 5.7 kg, it slips into a backpack or under the van seat and carries in one hand like a small cooler. Despite its size, it puts out 500W continuously, enough to run an electric cool box, charge two phones, a drone and a laptop over a camping weekend without hitting zero. What we like most is the new LiFePO4 battery, far more durable than the lithium of older Explorers, and the express recharge: about an hour from a socket and you are off again. The two USB-C ports are handy for recent devices. You just have to keep its limits in mind: 500W is not enough for a kettle or an induction hob, which is not its purpose. For light off-grid use and top-ups, it is faultless, well finished and reassuring.
Fossibot F1800
See price and availability (5)
Same 1024Wh capacity as the F1200 but 1800W continuous and a WiFi/Bluetooth app: the Fossibot F1800 steps up the range, 0-80% recharge in 45 min.
- Capacity: 1024Wh (LiFePO4 battery)
- Power: 1800W continuous, 2700W peak
- Recharge: 0-80% in 45 min (1200W mains)
- Weight: 11.25kg
- 1800W, WiFi/Bluetooth app, 5-year warranty
The Fossibot F1800 is a 1024Wh portable power station with a LiFePO4 battery, delivering 1800W continuous output (2700W peak), 600W more than the F1200 at the same capacity. 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.
Growatt Vita 550
$462.01 (5)
538Wh and 600W in a compact station with express recharge (1.6h) and 10 outputs including 100W USB-C: a smart alternative for camping and top-ups.

The Growatt Vita 550 is a compact 538Wh portable power station with a LiFePO4 battery, delivering 600W continuously (1200W peak via Watt+ technology). Charging is one of its strengths: 0 to 100% in about 1.6 hours from the mains. It packs up to 10 ports, with 2 AC outlets, a 100W USB-C, USB-A ports, a car socket and DC outputs. Weighing about 8 kg, it targets camping, vans and backup top-ups.
In-depth reviewRead our full review →
4.0/5
The Growatt Vita 550 is a pleasant surprise in the compact station category, often dominated by Jackery and EcoFlow. Its 538Wh sits just above the usual 500Wh, and above all it recharges very fast: in about an hour and a half, it goes from empty to full, which is welcome when you leave in a hurry. The Watt+ technology lets it briefly run resistive appliances up to 1200W, beyond its 600W nominal. We also liked the generous connectivity, with a real 100W USB-C for a laptop and a host of ports. The LiFePO4 battery ensures a long life. Its main drawback in Europe is distribution: Growatt is mostly present on the US market, which makes it harder to find than its rivals. Technically, though, it has nothing to envy them.
Pecron E1500LFP
See price and availability (4)
Fifteen hundred and thirty-six watt-hours for $670.23 80% charged in eighty minutes, and the option of moving up to 7,680 Wh later.
- Capacity: 1536 Wh of LiFePO4, expandable to 7,680 Wh
- Power: 2200 W continuous, 4400 W peak, pure sine wave
- Recharge: 1400 W from the mains, 80% in 80 minutes
- Outputs: 2 x 230 V, 4 USB-A, 2 USB-C (100 W), 12 in total
- 1536 Wh for $670.23 with a 20 ms UPS function
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.
In-depth reviewRead our full review →
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.
Growatt Infinity 1300
$1156.78 (4)
1382Wh and 1800W to power up to 14 devices: the Growatt Infinity 1300 is a powerful, long-lasting (LiFePO4) station that recharges fast, designed for camping and backup.
- Power: 1800W (pure sine)
- Capacity: 1382Wh LiFePO4
- Outputs: 14 outputs (AC, USB-C, USB-A, 12V)
- Recharge: Mains in ~1h48
- 1382Wh LiFePO4, 14 outputs and 5-year warranty
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.
Bluetti Pioneer Na
$1488.05 (3)
900 Wh in a sodium-ion battery, 1500 W (2250 W surge), working down to -13°F (-25°C): the first consumer power station to move beyond lithium.
- Capacity: 900 Wh (sodium-ion), 4000+ cycles to 70%
- Power: 1500 W continuous, 2250 W surge
- All weather: Works down to -13°F (-25°C) on discharge, 5°F (-15°C) on charge
- Compact: 16 kg, 34 x 24.7 x 31.7 cm
- First consumer sodium-ion power station, unmatched cold resistance
The Bluetti Pioneer Na is the first consumer portable power station to use a sodium-ion battery instead of lithium. Its 900 Wh capacity remains modest against LiFePO4 models of similar size, but its sodium chemistry keeps a genuine promise: over 4000 cycles down to 70% capacity, and guaranteed operation down to -13°F (-25°C) on discharge, where cold typically hurts most lithium batteries. Its 1500 W output (2250 W surge) covers everyday needs, and its 500 W solar input allows a full charge in around 2.3 hours.
The Pioneer Na is above all a successful technology demonstration: its sodium-ion battery lives up to its extreme cold-resistance promise, rated to work down to -13°F (-25°C) on discharge, where most conventional lithium stations already struggle below 32°F (0°C). The stated 4000 cycles down to 70% remaining capacity are also a solid endurance figure. But this still-young chemistry comes at a cost: at 900 Wh for around $1488.05 the price per Wh remains noticeably higher than a comparable LiFePO4 station, and the capacity itself looks modest against rivals of similar size and price. Our other reservation concerns connectivity: the BLUETTI app talks to the unit over Bluetooth only, with no Wi-Fi and therefore no remote control. For anyone camping or working regularly in severe cold, the sodium promise justifies a look; for general use, a LiFePO4 station of equivalent capacity often remains the better value.
Aferiy P010
See price and availability (3)
512Wh and 800W (1600W surge) in a 6.5kg/14.3lb frame, UL/FCC/PSE certified for the US market, backed by up to a 7 year Aferiy warranty.
- Capacity: 512Wh LiFePO4
- Power: 800W (1600W surge)
- Certifications: UL, FCC, PSE, RoHS, TELEC
- Charging: 400W mains, full in about 1.5h
- UL/FCC certified, up to 7-year warranty
The Aferiy P010 is a compact 512Wh portable power station built around a bidirectional inverter that delivers 800W continuously and up to 1600W in surge. Its LiFePO4 battery is rated for 3500+ cycles, and the US listing carries UL, FCC, PSE and RoHS certification. It offers one AC outlet, three USB-C ports (one at 100W), two USB-A ports and a 12V car-style output, eight ports in total, with a built-in MPPT controller accepting up to 200W of solar input and a UPS function rated under 10ms.
We looked at the Aferiy P010 as a compact backup option, and its spec sheet reads well for the price: 800W continuous, 1600W surge, and a certification list, UL, FCC, PSE, RoHS and TELEC, that's more complete than most rivals under $300 bother to publish. One US buyer ran a 775W coffee maker on it and reported it handled the load, right at the edge of its rating. The eight-port connectivity, three USB-C including one at 100W, is generous for the format. On the US listing, the 9 available ratings average 4.0 stars, with a couple of buyers reporting charging inconsistencies on their unit, worth keeping in mind since sample size is still small. Worth noting too: the printed manual lists a 2-year warranty, while Aferiy's own site advertises registration up to 7 years, we'd confirm the exact terms with Aferiy support before counting on the longer figure. For light camping, a CPAP backup or a modest UPS role, it remains a solid, well-connected pick at its price.
Growatt Infinity 2000 Pro
$1081.85
2048 Wh, 2400 W (4800 W surge), expandable up to 6144 Wh: Growatt's versatile power station, with cold start down to -22 °F (-30 °C).
- Capacity: 2048 Wh (LiFePO4), expandable to 6144 Wh
- Power: 2400 W continuous, 4800 W surge
- Charging: 1800 W mains (100% in 1h36), 1200 W solar
- All weather: Cold start down to -22 °F (-30 °C)
- Expandable to 6144 Wh, independent extra batteries
The Growatt Infinity 2000 Pro is a portable power station with a 2048 Wh LiFePO4 battery, delivering 2400 W continuously (4800 W surge, up to 3400 W boosted with Watt+ technology). Its capacity extends up to 6144 Wh with two extra batteries, each chargeable and dischargeable independently. Full mains recharge in 1h36, solar input up to 1200 W, EPS function with a 20 ms switchover, and cold start down to -22 °F (-30 °C): a rugged (over 4000 cycles) and versatile station, equally suited to motorhome use and home backup.
The Infinity 2000 Pro ticks the boxes expected of a well-built versatile station: 2048 Wh of rugged LiFePO4 (over 4000 cycles), 2400 W continuous output with a 4800 W surge enough to start a microwave or a kettle, and expansion up to 6144 Wh via two extra batteries that charge and discharge independently, a genuine advantage over systems where expansion batteries remain tied to the main unit. Cold start down to -22 °F (-30 °C) and the EPS function with a 20 ms switchover are strong arguments for home backup duty. Our main reservation concerns availability: at the time of writing, we could not confirm a US retailer currently stocking this model, which can make it harder to buy for anyone not already familiar with this type of specialist supplier. On the technical side, it remains a serious, well-equipped station.
Oukitel P800
$540.25 $364.23
Just 6 kg for 800W (1600W peak) and 512Wh LiFePO4: the Oukitel P800 bets on compactness and a one hour mains recharge.
- Power: 800W (1600W peak)
- Capacity: 512Wh LiFePO4
- Weight: 6 kg
- Recharge: 500W mains, full charge in about 1h
- Strong point: Very light (6 kg) for its capacity
The Oukitel P800 is a compact 512Wh portable power station, able to deliver 800W continuously and up to 1600W at peak. Its LiFePO4 battery is rated for 4000 cycles at 80% capacity, a good lifespan for this format. It offers one AC outlet, two USB-C ports (one at 100W), two USB-A ports, a 12V output and an LCD screen for monitoring. Mains recharging reaches 500W (about one hour for a full charge), and it accepts up to 200W of solar input. At 6 kg on the scale, it's one of the lightest in its capacity category.
The Oukitel P800 plays a simple card: offering 800W and 512Wh in one of the lightest formats and weights in its category, just 6 kg. That's a real difference in daily use compared with rivals that often exceed 7 or 8 kg for a comparable capacity, and it shows the moment you have to pull it out of a boot or carry it to a camping spot. Mains recharging is another strong point: a full charge in about one hour means less waiting before heading off again. Two reservations kept us cautious with our rating. First, remote control: the manufacturer's documentation and some marketing material mention compatibility with the Oukitel app, but the official product page and the manufacturer's own comparison table explicitly exclude this specific model (unlike the P1000 Plus and P2001 Plus in the same range). Without clear confirmation, we'd rather not promise app control. Second, this is a very recent model (late 2025): real world feedback is still scarce for judging its long term reliability, unlike older, more tested references. On paper and in our spec checks, it's a credible compact unit well positioned on price; we'll update this page as customer feedback comes in.

A campervan fridge for 20 to 24 hours, a router and a computer for a full working day at home, a well pump in short cycles, or an 800 watt microwave for about fifteen minutes. It is the capacity that covers a 24 hour domestic power cut on the essentials.
Yes, on two conditions. Peak power must absorb the compressor start-up, often 3 to 5 times the rated draw, so 600 to 900 watts for a 150 watt fridge. And the inverter must deliver a pure sine wave, otherwise the motor runs hot and ages prematurely.
Power decides what you can plug in, capacity decides for how long. A 1,000 Wh station capped at 600 watts will refuse to start a kettle, even fully charged. Draw up the list of your appliances and their wattage first, and only then how long you need them.
LiFePO4 (LFP) lasts 3,000 to 4,000 cycles against 500 to 1,000 for NMC, copes better with heat and carries a markedly lower thermal runaway risk. It is heavier for the same capacity though. For regular use or home backup, LFP is now the default choice.
Some can, when they advertise a UPS or EPS function with a switchover time under 20 milliseconds. The device stays on mains power and moves to battery with no perceptible break. Note that 20 ms is fine for a computer, but not always for a server or a boiler with sensitive electronics.
