Our verdict

The safest 1 kWh pick — the Anker C1000 Gen 2 does more for the same price.

1,070 Wh and 1,500 W in a 23.8 lb box that charges in an hour, with thousands of owner reviews behind it. It has fewer outlets and less solar input than the newest rivals.

Ideal for

CPAP backup, weekend camping and first-time buyers who want a proven brand.

Skip it if

Solar-heavy setups or anyone who needs more than 1,500 W.

In-depth review

What it's like to own

Jackery's 1000 v2 is the 1 kWh model most people buy. It's light for its class at 23.8 lb and runs a fridge, a CPAP with humidifier, a coffee maker or small power tools on 1,500 W (3,000 W surge).

Charging takes 1.7 hours by default, or one hour in the app's emergency mode; a quiet 30 dB overnight mode is also available. Solar input tops out at 400 W, and it has three AC outlets.

Owners use it for CPAP backup, keeping a boat's shore power going at anchor and art-festival booths, and the rating is among the highest here at 4.7 from 3,600+ reviews.
