Anker built its name on power banks and chargers that simply work. With the SOLIX range, it's taking that reputation into full-size power stations — and making a strong case. We look at the portable C1000 and the home-backup F3000 to see whether Anker deserves a spot on your shortlist next to EcoFlow, Jackery and Bluetti.
🔋 At a glance
C1000 — ~1056Wh, portable, great for camping/van life and essentials backup
F3000 — ~3072Wh, wheeled, built for serious home backup
LiFePO4 chemistry and UPS across the range
Anker's sweet spot: build quality and value for money
🔋 Anker SOLIX C1000: the portable all-rounder
The C1000 lands squarely in the popular ~1000Wh class, competing head-on with the EcoFlow DELTA 2. It offers fast charging, LiFePO4 longevity and a strong continuous output, in a package light enough to carry to a pitch or lift into a van. For campers, van lifers and anyone wanting essentials backup, it's a genuinely compelling option.
Anker SOLIX F3000: home-backup muscle
The F3000 is a different beast — ~3072Wh on wheels, designed to power multiple household appliances through an extended outage. With UPS switchover and expandability, it targets homes that want real resilience during winter storms. It's heavy (that's the capacity), but the wheeled design makes it manageable.
⚖️ How Anker SOLIX compares
Anker's pitch is build quality and value. EcoFlow still tends to lead on outright charging speed and app polish; Bluetti often wins on raw capacity-per-pound; Jackery on plug-and-play simplicity. Anker sits in a confident middle — reliable, well-made and keenly priced. See the full brand shoot-out in our best portable power stations UK guide.
The verdict
Anker SOLIX is a credible, well-executed entry into power stations. Choose the C1000 for portable camping, van and essentials use; step up to the F3000 for whole-home backup. Either way, Anker has earned its place on the shortlist.
