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

Really good

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

Expensive BUT worth every penny. The 4 X 240VOLT Sockets are a MUST HAVE. I have tried it with all sorts (in the home) and so far no problems. Something that gives you piece of mind if you have a power cut.

Works exactly as the instructions report. Such a great back up for blackouts too.

Arrived on time and well packaged. Important for prospective buyers to understand the limitations of 1056Whr before purchase. It’s not going to power your 3KW kettle or bar radiators. I use it for backing up the electric supply to my gas central heating boiler in the event of a power cut. In that role it runs 12-18 hours between charges. I was so impressed that I bought another one to backup TV/HiFi/Router/WiFi and other domestic appliances as required. Also charges iPhones, iPads etc. much faster than most brick chargers. Remains in a good state of charge during long term storage. Highly recommended.

I am impressed with this: it ran both my (big) fridge-freezer and my (big) freezer for five hours, when it still had 52% battery charge left. This would be enough to get me through a seventies-style rolling power cut (if cuts were forecast I'd use it as a UPS, so that if the mains went off it would fail-over automagically to the powerbank, then back on to mains when power is restored.)The 100w solar panel would take two sunny days to recharge the unit, but it might be useful sometime.

Easy to use charged up in an hour

So far this item seems fantastic, can't wait to use it properly, I tested it out by charging my leisure battery in my camper van and having my small heater on. Great item. Easy to use and set up on my phone.
