Best for this need
Our pick
BLUETTI Apex 300 is the lightest native 120/240V starting point here and can grow into a much larger system. EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 brings about 48 percent more base energy. Anker F3800 Plus brings about 39 percent more. The right pick still starts with the exact receptacle, per-leg current and motor startup your circuit requires.
Native split-phase voltage, receptacle amperage and motor startup matter more than total inverter watts.
What the facts say
Useful conclusions from the current portable power stations comparison, followed by the checked facts used to reach them.
Only 4 of 50 models checked match every need here: “I need native 120V and 240V output”, “I want to feed selected home circuits”, “Solar is a real part of my recharge plan”, and “I want automatic backup for a computer or router”.
4 matching models from 50 checkedBLUETTI Apex 300's battery capacity is 149% above the 1,111 Wh median at 2,764.8 Wh.
Match countThe count uses the current product-to-need assignments for “I need native 120V and 240V output”, “I want to feed selected home circuits”, “Solar is a real part of my recharge plan”, and “I want automatic backup for a computer or router”. A need with no documented match does not count.
Calculation noteThis compares nominal watt-hour capacity. Real delivered energy depends on inverter losses, temperature and load. The median covers 50 of 50 models with comparable published figures.

What matters in practice
Match voltage, receptacle, per-leg current, neutral and motor startup before comparing battery size. A 240V label alone does not prove a station can run the intended pump or circuit.
It supplies native 120/240V from one base unit and weighs about 31 pounds less than DELTA Pro 3 and about 53 pounds less than F3800 Plus. Direct USB and 12V use requires the optional DC Hub.
EcoFlow has about 48 percent more nameplate energy than Apex. Anker has about 39 percent more. That extends runtime before expansion batteries enter the budget.
Well pumps, compressors and other inductive loads can ask for a large short burst. Check the exact load, receptacle and per-leg limits instead of comparing only total inverter watts.
A listed transfer accessory does not make every panel connection safe. Neutral, grounding, interlock and transfer requirements belong in the installation plan with a qualified electrician.
Worked example
This example uses base capacity and an 85 percent usable-energy allowance.
Formulanominal watt-hours × 0.85 ÷ 500 watts
| Scenario | Apex 300 | F3800 Plus | DELTA Pro 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Estimated runtime | 4.7 hours | 6.5 hours | 7.0 hours |
What that meansApex is easier to move, while Anker and EcoFlow provide longer base runtime.
Keep in mindHave a qualified electrician confirm receptacles, per-leg current, neutral, grounding, transfer hardware and motor startup.
3 options
BLUETTI, Apex 300
A modular 2,764.8Wh station with native 120/240V output, 3,840W power and a path from portable box to multi-unit home system.
Winner whenThe most flexible single-box 120/240V starting point
There are no direct USB or 12V outputs on the base unit. Portable DC use requires the optional DC Hub.
Anker SOLIX, F3800 Plus
A 3,840Wh native-120/240V system with dual high-voltage solar inputs, RV outlets and a large home-expansion ecosystem.
Choose instead whenChoose it when direct RV outlets, 3,200W solar input and more base energy fit the installation better.
At 136.7 pounds it needs wheels and a planned installation location. Lifting it into a vehicle is a two-person job.
EcoFlow, DELTA Pro 3
A refined 4,096Wh wheeled station with 4,000W output, native 120/240V and broad battery, panel and generator integration.
Choose instead whenChoose it for more base energy and a polished home-integration ecosystem after confirming the exact circuit hardware.
At roughly 115 pounds it is a wheeled home system, not a casual carry, and most circuit-level automation requires additional EcoFlow hardware.
