Anker 535 PowerHouse costs $1870 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.

- Allpowers R4000 is rated for 3,500 cycles vs 3,000 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
Allpowers R4000
A large expandable unit that undercuts the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 on price while matching its 4,000W output — the trade is a less established support network.
Best for: Whole-home backup buyers prioritising price per watt over brand.
Where it falls short:
- 106 lb
- Brand support and resale trail the big names
Anker 535 PowerHouse
A durable half-kWh unit for devices and light loads. Dependable, but the low output and slow charging make it a device-first companion.
Best for: Campers charging phones, laptops and lights, not appliances.
Where it falls short:
- 500W output is device-scale
- 120W solar input, slow recharge
