Weighing just under 29 pounds, it’s not exactly a feather, but dual handles make it easy to lug from your car to a campsite or around the house when the lights go out. Product page.

Plugging in feels like unlocking a treasure chest of options. With 11 ports—six AC outlets, two USB-A, two USB-C (one hitting 100W for fast-charging laptops), and a car socket—you can power everything from a coffee maker to your phone, often all at once. Its 1,056Wh battery can run a fridge for up to 14 hours or charge your iPhone nearly 100 times.
Charging this thing is where it really shines. Anker’s HyperFlash tech gets it from zero to 100% in just 58 minutes via a wall outlet—faster than you can pack for a trip. Solar fans will appreciate the 600W solar input, which can juice it up in about 1.8 hours under perfect conditions. Durability is a big selling point. The C1000’s LiFePO4 battery promises 3,000 cycles, translating to roughly a decade of use, even if you’re draining it daily.
During a recent power outage, the C1000 saved our family’s bacon for several hours while it was cold and raining outside. This enabled lighting to stay on, while we ate dinner in the cold. It also provided power for our devices to enable our phones to stay charged and check on the local power utility’s status throughout. It is also sufficient in capacity to deliver power to our instant hot water heater, which enabled the family to have hot showers and settle in for a long night powerless if needed,” said one reviewer.
