Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2

Replaces the original C1000 with a genuinely class-leading recharge time (49 minutes to full, a certified world record) and a bump to 2,000W output. Anker dropped expansion-battery support for this generation, so buy the capacity you need up front.

Bluetti Elite 200 V2

The 6,000-cycle automotive-grade cells make this one of the longest-lasting large portables around, and 2,600W is enough for a kettle. Fixed capacity rather than expandable, so buy it for what it is rather than as a starter unit.
