Anker SOLIX F3000 Portable Power Station The Anker SOLIX F3000 Portable Power Station offers high-end performance that is very similar to Anker's top-of-the-line options. It is more portable and affordable, though, making it a better choice for hybrid use and buyers who need elite power at home and on the go. I recently got the opportunity to kit out my entire home with backup power thanks to the Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus. I loved it then, and I still love it now, but high-end power stations like
