Questions buyers ask
Does the Anker SOLIX C800X have a light?
Yes, a built-in camping light on top of the unit, which is unusual in this class.
C800X or EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro?
Same capacity. The Anker has more native output (1,200 W vs 800 W), a light and UPS mode; the EcoFlow is $100 cheaper and charges as fast. We score them 85 and 87.
Can the C800X run a microwave?
A compact 700 W microwave, yes; a full-size 1,100–1,200 W unit is at the limit.
