Pecron is great, I have two units, the E600 and the E1000.
But at 800 dollars for the F3000 I'd bump to 1k and get the E3600 or splurge for the E3800 at 1.2k - both of those systems take extension batteries and can be bonded together with a twin power station for a 240 dual phase output for a whole house backup solution. Inverter aside, the capacity of this unit is just as good value as the pecrons if not a bit better.
For me, this is just a different class of power station we haven't seen before - I'm looking for something that fits into a cubby to replace my UPSs and has the best efficiency and life cycle rating. The pecrons, ecoflow, and Anker's own C2000 units are just different things for different needs - they'll all have beefier inverters, but won't live as long, have more weight, bigger, and less efficient.
A lot of people recommending other units don't seem to recognize this is a new class of power station - if you're looking for a traditional all rounder:
Pecron: best bang for the buck and value across the board, always good pricing, okay to good support, best upgrade paths in the business if you want to grow a unified system. Okay app support and okay (wouldn't use it for high value electronics tho) UPS functionality. Top tier efficiency.
Ecoflow: I've had issues with ecoflow so am a bit biased - I think their customer support SUCKS, and while they were the top a few years ago they are a hard sell, at least for me, these days. Great app. Wonderful UPS *when it works* and when it doesn't it's horrible. The last firmware update has taken the UPS benefits and smashed them on the ground as units across their devices seem to be randomly shutting off. Good to very good efficiency.
Bluetti: Not a fan of the company or their tactics as they try to stifle criticism, but they've made some banger units. Top tier efficiency, especially on their elite / v2 lines. Very good app control. Top tier UPS functionality and top tier efficiency. I'll be putting a refurb elite 100 v2 through its paces next week.
Jackery: Haven't owned one myself, but not a fan of the company - was way overpriced until recently when the competition started eating their lunch, only got off of the traditional lithium ion solutions that ran 500 cycles but kept on advertising the damn things insinuating they were like all the other LiPo 3000 cycle batteries that had arrived on the market. Not sure about app or UPS.
Anker: I believe they are the best in the business, though usually have a premium cost close to ecoflow. Best UPS functionality (this S2000 unit is UL 1778 ups rated, though no power station as a UPS is rock solid as none of them have AVR), best app, best efficiency. Even their c300 300W AC units are banger. Very slick and increasingly functional ecosystem that takes advantage of different solutions if you buy in. The S2000 is a different class of unit - if you're not trying to get a jack of all trades like everything else, and want something you can use all the time (UPS basically) this unit will last 3 times as long, weigh a bit less, take less of a footprint, and sip half as much energy as anything else on the market. The inverter isn't as beefy, but that's the price you pay for more efficiency. I mean.... in theory, but the early bird reviews seem to back up the talk in this area.
I love my Pecrons, but in 5 years I don't see rotating them to something like networking gear - these units, more so than the Anker C2000, are something I see throwing on a server in 5 years and networking equipment in 10 years.
If you're wondering why I'm so crazed on this, I have x6 UPSs running at all times, I replace at least one of them a year at 300+ USD and they suck up more energy than you think. I'm blowing all my money to get out of the lead acid rotation and save a bit of cash after a few years of use - this particular unit offers more in the efficiency and life area than anything else I've tried or considered. If they don't screw it up, it'll be a banger of a unit.
I totally get people pointing out it has middling solar input, no 12V charger, and a weak inverter for the 2kWh capacity. But it's not a unit that is designed to be like all the other power stations - I think it would be more appealing to a lot of people if they understand the differences.
Right, hopefully that satisfies my OCD and I can top off this UPS replacement saga when these units arrive in June. What the feck am I going to do with all that extra time?
While this unit is launching quite a bit cheaper than other 2kWh units (it does have a less beefy inverter, but that's what gives it it's efficiency), I'd treat the 680 USD as the real MSRP.
I suspect the 680 price tag will stick for at least 90 days but it won't hit the 599 again until Black Friday at the earliest; for one if buying direct from Anker, they do 90 day price matching and probably don't want to go below that figure in that time frame.... and once it is released, the 680 price is set with their whole ecosystem. A.k.a. if their C2000 is 15% off, the S2000 best case scenario will follow suit, otherwise you can buy a 2kWh from the same company for cheaper than the S2000 inverter be damned.
Community Reviews
The Anker Solix S2000 stands out as a compact 2kWh power station built for efficient UPS use, fridge backup, and light camping or car camping. The low weight, small footprint, and high efficiency make it easier to place and carry than many similar units, and the app features for peak and off peak charging, solar prioritization, and storm top ups add real utility. The main tradeoffs are the 1500W inverter, 400W solar input, 100W USB C limit, and lack of a cigarette lighter port. That makes it a strong fit when portability and long runtime matter more than raw output.
Common Questions (5)
Yes. It is positioned as a UPS-style unit with UL 1778 UPS rating, low idle draw, and fast switchover, making it suitable for always-on server, router, and networking loads. The tradeoff is that it is not a full AVR-style UPS replacement, so surge/voltage protection may still be needed for sensitive gear.
It is a strong fit for car camping and other portable use where low weight, small footprint, and efficient low-watt operation matter more than a big inverter. It does not have a cigarette-lighter input, so it is less convenient for campers who rely on that port.
Yes, it is aimed at compact refrigerator backup and similar low-watt loads, and it should be sufficient for fridge duty during outages or wind storms. It is less ideal for high-draw appliances like a 1500W griddle because the inverter is only 1500W continuous.
The S2000 supports up to 400W of solar input. That is enough for topping up and off-grid use, but it is a limitation compared with larger power stations and may feel restrictive if you want to max out charging speed.
Yes. Early reviews indicate it supports storm-event auto top-up to 100%, plus peak and off-peak charging schedules and solar-priority charging. Those features make it useful for keeping a backup battery ready without leaving it fully charged all the time.

I ordered off of Anker Direct (they don't have a code, only a link for people who signed up) - in speaking to their support it's 'first order / first shipments', at least from the Anker Direct end... Assume it's the same for the Amazon orders.
.....
For that reason I currently rock two Bluetti Elite 200 v2 as their idle power consumption is around only 10W, and their cells are rated for 6000 cycles. And S2000 is even better in those regards. Very, very tempting.
Many people do not realize that average unit's 20W idle power consumption does not not affect them only when power goes out. Since inverters are always kept powered up in the UPS mode (that is how switch happens in only 10ms or 20ms), that is also a constant parasitic power draw, 24/365. I will leave it up to you to calculate how much it will cost over a year, and then over a decade or two of projected life of the unit, but it adds up quite quickly.
BTW - Anker was adding support to some of their bigger 'home backup' units for 'just in time (for storm) top up' - forgot their official term for it - basically unit can sit normally at 50% charge (good for battery health) but when app receives storm warning for your area, power station starts immediate 'topping up' to 100% just in case you lose power during storm, and then after storm resets back to 50% charge. I think this is a killer feature, but even Anker does not offer it on their smaller units, and nobody else seems to have it (patent wars?). Anybody knows if this unit by any chance will have that killer feature? Would make total sense if unit's primary use case is to be backup power for the fridge...
I totally agree, for many use cases, especially those centered around UPS role, efficiency and durability beats everything else.

Also have peak and off peak charging which you don't always find on a unit of this size.
I have a Bluetti 100 v2 coming in this week I'm excited to put into UPS rotation for my router and network gear - any tips?
I've got a whole house standby generator, so I don't need backup beyond 30 seconds during an outage.
Its easy to want to compare this to the C2000 otlr other 2KW units but its purpose is slightly diff. If i didnt already have a C2000 i would def get it. Especially for park festivals or the beach, where a high capacity small unit to run fans, or other low watt devices is ideal. This would be much more portable.
Now if i wanted to run a 1500w electric griddle plus charge my phone or run a fan then this wouldnt be as ideal.
Keep in mind this is also advertised as a compact refrigerator backup unit.

Definitely has the capability to prioritize solar over grid, etc. Everything I've seen says it's the best in the business for that sort of thing but I have yet to put it through its paces as while I have a variety of other power stations, I haven't popped my Anker cherry yet until these units come in.

I got mine 2 days ago, and it came with 27% Charged.
What are your thoughts with it now you have it in hand?
