The $649 Portable Power Station Beast - Anker SOLIX C1000

(be sure to select the coupon that reduces the price to $649)
This video was made in paid partnership with Anker SOLIX

Anker SOLIX power stations are among the easiest to recommend, and this new SOLIX c1000 is no exception. This is a compact portable power station with a ton of versatility. It is ideal for camping, throwing in the truck to power tools on a job site, powering your router or TV during power outages, or tailgating.

Versatility is the key with this portable power station. Ultra fast charging, solar charging capabilities, 11 ports, an app to manage everything, a lightweight and compact form, a competitive price, very high surge output, and more. Let’s start with a rundown of this product, and then I’ll get into my tests. After that we can talk about use cases and finally some comparisons to top competing brands to see how this stacks up.

Of course, I am always completely transparent. This product was sent over by Anker so thanks for sending it over and partnering up on this video. Now my opinions cannot be bought, and we have quite a few tests to run in this video so you can see for yourself what this device is or is not capable of.

I just stumbled across an Amazon error the other morning. They put the sale price up without removing the $450 coupon...so I was able to apply the coupon to the sale price. Been looking at this unit for months...and when I saw it I picked up two of them. They just shipped today! One of the best "mistake" scores I've ever gotten ! Currently have a hurricane over me so my solix c300 and other Anker banks are going to have to get me through. Would have been great for Heline. Will be a lot better prepared for the next storm now. Can't wait for them to arrive!

Great video! Started having 8 hour power cuts 2 weeks ago, this can work for TV, WiFi router and lighting in that time frame.

Anker ToS:
If you want full functionality (wireless connectivity, which is needed for firmware updates).

Per section 17, any disputes are "governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China". If a dispute arises, it will be done "in accordance with the rules of the Shenzhen International Arbitration Court". "The language of the arbitration shall be Chinese." and "The place of arbitration shall be Shenzhen, China."

In section 18. They can update the ToS at any time and the ToS "shall be deemed effective upon the sending by us of an email". They can put whatever [insert unimaginable terms here] they want and you have preemptively agreed to them.

Great video man! you deserve much more followers, i got a lot help from watching your videos

Great Informative video! Thanks! I got my unit today! I ordered from Amazon a package deal, one including a 200 watts solar panel. I contacted Anker and was inquiring about the solar panel which was not together with the power station when it arrived. I wonder if it was shipped separately?
My question is about leaving it plugged in after it is fully charge or unplugged it and store it back inside the box?

1000W is the max, but what is the lowest setting for AC input? Also can you control the DC input? My car has an AC outlet with 100W max and a DC port with 120W max. Wondering if this unit can be dialed down to work with either of these outlets.

Great video Mike !
While powering your home fridge, can you power a microwave or blender too ?
Thanks

You never made a follow up video to the tab s9 fe+

[JLydecka]

There are a lot of errors in the video.
Its £1000 on amazon. Weight of bluetti comparison not 10kg. And you charged it with 400w solar, instead of showing how to wire up 600w of solar. 200x3? 100x6? Also u complain about plug sockets but u can just put in an extension lead.

Comprtetive price?!?
Other China powerstaitions are much cheaper... Like 1700, -- for 5 kWh 🤷

[pendragonaddams]

How is 35pounds lighter than 28pounds?

[mickerdoodle]

Can the Anker c1000 be charged from the car?

[juddystarr]

Wait, seriously? I gotta say, Anker Solix C1000 is getting way too much hype in this video. Honestly, I’m more into what that other Asian guy, Hanstechtalk, recommended. If memory serves, he reviewed the Bluetti AC200L, and let’s be real—it sounds like a way cooler option.

[zodaguado]

Nice video, what is the amperage on that fridge…

[Cootsie]

How long would this run a 1500W heather like that Mr Buddy space heater in a emergency situation in the Witner if you lost power?

[dalton]

If you have any influence with the people who make decisions with anker well suggest that they take their oldest stock the stock from years ago that has degraded sitting on a shelf not being sold and not being used... Worth a fraction of what it used to be worth & donate them to disaster relief/people escaping dangerous situations across the globe. Gets rid of old stock nobody will buy & give the prescription of helping. Obviously they would have to team up with a solar company to make it functional to do the same with their old stock that isn't nearly as efficient as the newest stuff.

I must've gotten a dud - mine dies just 4 hours or so of running my gaming PC. $700 down the drain...

Bought this when I came out for 750 which was supposed to be a sale and now its regular price is 650 basically. I’ll never buy another anker product on release. Ntm all of the reviews at the time were paid and made it seem you had to use their code to get the deal. All lies. Ntm anker will make you pay for shipping if you have some sort of issue or simply want to return it.

I wouldn’t trust the quality of this. I bought Anker’s 24, 000 mah smart power bank and had so many problems. They shipped me a new one that died after 2 weeks with hardly any use. Annoying as they’re so expensive but needed for travel for work to extend my laptop usage. Expensive garbage.

For my car camping I ended up going with an EcoFlow Delta 2 (1kWh). After no issues with it for heavy use, I ended up picking up an EcoFlow Delta 2 Max (2kWh), and the both have a UPS function built in so use them as power back up for my home furnace. I wouldn’t want to depend on Anker for that.
