Anker PowerHouse II 400, 300W/388.8Wh Portable Power Station, 230V AC Outlet/60W

Product Information

You can use this generator to power your multiple devices simultaneously without compromising on speed. You can use the generator for powering your USB-C devices or even the PowerHouse itself through the dedicated delivery port part of this unit. To test my Anker PowerHouse II 400, I took it on a camping trip. First, I used it with a small pump to blow up an air mattress: on a full charge, I’d have got around three hours of constant pump usage. More conveniently, it meant that I could inflate my mattresses where I needed them (in the tent), rather than at the car or central building. Features a 60W USB-C port equipped with our exclusive PowerIQ 3.0 technology to charge mobile devices at high speed. Charge a MacBook Air 2020 to 50% in just over 40 minutes, or charge an iPhone 11 to 50% in only 30 minutes. Further, with its ports, the Anker Portable generatorcan help you power 8 devices simultaneously. With the Goal Zero generator, you can power only 7 devices simultaneously. Further, the Anker generator comes with a rugged and durable design to make it withstand the rough exterior surface. It has been strengthened on all 8 corners.

The Anker Powerhouse II 400 is an excellent device that can take care of a lot of needs. Most small electronics and even some small appliances will be powered just fine with this unit. However, there are cases where a 300W output isn't going to cut it, and for the price, it could use a few more outlets. At the first instance, you will feel that the Westinghouse iGen300s is the best of these two as its capacity is 296Wh, while the Anker PowerHouse256Wh is a 256Wh generator. But, even though its capacity is lesser, the Ankergenerator wins on many grounds. We are here to tell you how the Anker PowerHouse256Wh generator wins in this race with the Westinghouse iGen300s generator. The first difference is the battery used in these generators. When you take care of the Ankergenerator comes with LiFePO4 batteries. The good thing about this battery against the lithium-ion battery used by the Westinghouse generator is that it comparatively has a better life cycle. Yes, you can expect 3000 cycles to 80% capacity from the AnkerGenerator, while you cannot expect this much life from the Westinghouse generator.The 512 Wh battery capacity reinforces its claim as one of the best outdoor power stations. It also features solar compatibility, a built-in LED strip for emergency light requirements, and a built-in LCD screen. Even though this power station looks small, like a diary, it is equipped with a huge 27000 mAh battery capacity. So it can charge many of your devices. Above all, the ports in the generator, like a 45W USB-C port, a couple of USB ports, and a 100W AC outlet, will help you power four devices simultaneously. Above all, you can do it without sacrificing power. With a USB-C to C cable and powerful 45W wall charge that are part of this generator, you will have everything required for recharging the internal battery. Along with this ultra-portable powerful AC charger, you will get a 45W USB-C wall charger, a lanyard, a travel pouch, a USB-A to C cable, and a USB-C to C cable.

The Explorer 1000 provides 1,000 Watts of power through a wide variety of ports: three 110V household outlets, two USB-C outlets, two standard USB ports, and a 12V 10A DC car outlet. This thing can power a blender for 13 straight hours…if that’s your thing. You do you, I guess. With this 213 Wh generator from Anker, you can pump power for your small appliances, computers, emergency equipment, and mobile devices. You can get your MacBook Pro charged more than five times, while you can recharge your phone over 12 times. Even after recharging this unit completely, you can run your small appliances like a mini-fridge for more than four hours. This is one of Anker’s best portable power stations because its built-in AC wall outlet uses a pure sine wave inverter. In turn, this tiny wonder can bring down audible electric noises of lights, fans, and other sensitive appliances to your power. For easy carrying, wherever you go, it comes with a handy lanyard. Even to provide a better grip when you carry it, it comes with textured rubber ends. Further, the Ankergenerator has added features like a drop-proof design, electronic components with 50,000 hours life expectancy, built-in warm-tone LED light, and a smart display. These features add value to the Anker PowerHouse 256Wh. Note: the PowerHouse can charge via both DC and USB-C until it reaches 81%, after which it will use only DCAs mentioned previously, the inclusion of a single USB-C and AC outlet can be frustrating at times. Sure there are USB-A to C cables, but if all you have are USB-C to C, you shouldn't have to buy more if you need to charge up multiple devices. The same goes for the AC outlet — in this case, more is better. At this price, the Anker Powerhouse II 400 could use more USB-C ports — and an extra AC outlet while we're at it. With regard to power output and depending on the draw needed, a mini generator may last up all day long. The best of the bunch can run personal medical equipment or an LED television for many hours. Recharging one of these units will take anywhere from 12 to 24 hours.
