Our verdict

The whole-home station for big solar arrays and generator owners: 3,200 W of solar and 6,000 W of output. If you want a lighter unit with a longer published cycle life, the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 is the better buy.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • 3,200 W of solar input: the most of any station we cover, by the makers' figures
  • 6,000 W of total AC output at 120 V and 240 V from one unit
  • Passes up to 6,000 W from a 240 V generator with Anker's Generator Adapter
  • Takes up to six BP3800 expansion batteries

Cons

  • 136.7 lb, the heaviest station we cover
  • Anker rates the battery for 3,000+ cycles without saying to what capacity
  • Wall charging from a standard 120 V outlet is capped at 1,800 W
  • Anker's FAQ gives a 20 ms switchover, slower than the 10 ms of the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3

Who it suits

Homeowners with a large solar array, or a 240 V generator, who want one station to run much of a house. Anker lists 3,200 W of solar input across two 11-165 V ports, 6,000 W of total AC output at 120 V and 240 V, and an L14-30R outlet for a transfer switch. With up to six BP3800 batteries (3.84 kWh each) it can store far more than its own 3,840 Wh.

Anker also says it can charge an electric car through the TT-30 or L14-30 outlet if the car's charging rate is set below 25 A.

Who should skip it

Anyone who needs to move it often: it weighs 136.7 lb. Buyers who mostly charge from the wall should note the 1,800 W limit on a 120 V outlet. The EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 holds more (4,096 Wh), weighs 113.5 lb and switches over in 10 ms; see DELTA Pro 3 vs SOLIX F3800 Plus.

What we could not confirm

Anker rates the battery for "3,000+ cycles" but does not say what capacity remains after them, and it does not list a surge rating or the number of USB-C ports in the US spec table, so those are left out. The 20 ms switchover comes from Anker's FAQ and applies when the unit is plugged into a 120 V wall outlet.
