Anker has been working on compact power stations which can power devices at an amazing 1800 watt in such a compact size (only 4 pounds more). Whether you are a camper, hunter, prepper for natural disasters and blackouts, need it for a CPAP machine or giving it as a gift, the Anker Solix C1000 is a great product backed by a 5 year warranty. With a similar form factor to the C800, the C1000 is worth paying a bit more to get 600 more watts of power output. This makes the C1000 the best deal in its class!
