The short answer
It splits by size. At 1 kWh the Anker C1000 Gen 2 is cheaper ($549.99 vs $629) and has more output (2,000 W vs 1,800 W), but only the EcoFlow DELTA 3 can expand. At 2 kWh the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max was cheaper ($899 vs $999.99) with similar output, while the Anker C2000 Gen 2 accepts an expansion battery. For home backup the Anker F3800 Plus has more output (6,000 W vs 4,000 W), more solar input and far more expansion (26.9 kWh vs 12.3 kWh) at a slightly lower price, though the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 holds a bit more (4.1 vs 3.84 kWh).
Choose Anker SOLIX for the cheapest 1 kWh unit here, an expandable 2 kWh unit, or the most powerful home-backup unit (F3800 Plus).
Choose EcoFlow for the cheaper 2 kWh unit, a 1 kWh unit you can expand later, and stated LFP chemistry and warranty across the range.

*Prices and specifications are from each manufacturer's US website, checked . Prices change often, sometimes daily during sales; the seller's page is the final word. Cycle ratings are the maker's own figures, measured to different end points, so treat them as rough guides.
How we compared
We compare only figures the manufacturers publish for their US models, and we link each one below. We have not lab-tested these units. Capacity is the rated battery capacity; usable AC energy is lower, typically by 10 to 20 percent, because of inverter losses. Cycle ratings are each maker's claim to its own end point. See how we choose products.
Specifications and prices are copied from manufacturer websites on the date shown and change often. Confirm them with the seller before buying. See our disclaimer.
