Anker 555 PowerHouse vs Allpowers R600
Side-by-side on the specs that decide it — surge, capacity, runtime and price.
Both models' specs verified against manufacturer listings · Last updated
The short answer
Allpowers R600 costs $400 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- Anker 555 PowerHouse holds 242% more energy (1024Wh vs 299Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- Anker 555 PowerHouse has 300W more surge headroom (1500W vs 1200W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Allpowers R600 is 17.1 lb lighter (12.8 lb vs 29.9 lb).
- Allpowers R600 is rated for 3,500 cycles vs 3,000 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
Neither of these will start a sump pump or well pump — both surge below the ~3,400W those motors need. If home backup with pumps is your use case, look at higher-surge models instead of either of these.
A 1kWh unit whose 1,000W output and slow charging show its age — the newer, cheaper Anker C1000 beats it on nearly every axis.
Best for: Only worth it steeply discounted against the C1000.
Where it falls short:
- 1,500W surge is low
- 200W solar input and a slow 138-minute recharge
A light, cheap 299Wh unit with a 1,200W surge — a solid budget companion for devices and the occasional small appliance.
Best for: Budget campers charging devices with occasional small-appliance use.
Where it falls short:
- 299Wh is small
- 600W continuous output
