It's a great pick among the over-1,000Wh choices, and really only missed out on winning the large power station category due to some extra bells and whistles other units in that category have. The Powerhouse 757 is a solid, sturdy machine (our second heaviest one at nearly 44 pounds). When LED lights are turned on, generally, they don't require any "extra" power to get going. That means, if you wanted to connect several LED lights that were each rated at 200W power output, you could expect to be able to run twelve of those simultaneously. For example, the 767 boasts a maximum 2,400W output power rating. This is different from the continuous power rating (in watts) for each unit. I suppose there are enough other options to connect a wireless charging pad if you really wanted.Īnother often overlooked aspect of portable power stations is the output wattage and power rating. Tons of output options (three USB-C ports!) and the only one missing in my opinion is a wireless charging base. Charge it with up to 1000W of solar power. It sports a LiFePO4 battery for over 3,000 charge cycles. Could be fun to test - but I'll take their word on it. The 767 body is also reportedly impact-resistant, shock-proof, anti-UV and flame retardant. You'll still have to lift it on or into vehicles our countertops, but when you're moving from place to place, this makes the task much more accessible. The 767 is built on wheels and even has a suitcase-style retractable towing handle. The Anker PowerHouse 767 is even heaver (7.4lbs more!) with a major difference that makes that weight a bit more bearable - literally. The previous title-holder (Bluetti AC200P) weighed in at just over 60 pounds, and was not for the faint of heart or weak of arm. I'd like for it to have more than the one port, but considering many units still are limited to USB-A, I'll take what I can get. The 50S has one, as well as another 'must have' feature for me - a USB-C port. Seven hours to full compared to just under 5 hours for the Bluetti AC200P which offers 4x the battery capacity, or the similarly-sized Bluetti EB55 (537Wh compared to 500Wh from the 50S) which can achieve 0-100% charge in about three hours.īluetti does tend to put wireless charging into most of their devices, and that's a personal favorite feature of mine. This one does take a bit longer to charge than some of its siblings. You're getting all the input-output charging options you could ask for, including what seems to be the new industry standard of compatibility with solar panels for charging. The midsize portable power station category is a crowded space and there are a few nearly equal alternatives to the 50S like the Ecoflow River Max or the Oupes and BioLite models. When looking at the feature list, that is enough to get you 'best value' in this product space.Īs well, the 50S also captures our 'best midsize portable power station' title. The Bluetti 50S comes in as the second lowest "price per watt-hour" metric I've tested to date.
