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.

The RIVER 3 Plus replaces the RIVER 2 as EcoFlow's small grab-and-go unit — a touch pricier but with X-Boost surge to 1,200W and genuine expandability via EB300/EB600 batteries. Not for kettles or big appliances, but excellent for devices and camping.
