Both models' specs verified against manufacturer listings · Last updated
The short answer
Anker 555 PowerHouse costs $100 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- Segway Cube 1000 has 2900W more surge headroom (4400W vs 1500W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Segway Cube 1000 is 1.5 lb lighter (28.4 lb vs 29.9 lb).
Anker 555 PowerHouse
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
Segway Cube 1000
Segway's stackable home unit brings a strong 2,200W output at 1kWh and a modular design, though the cube form factor is bulkier than flat rivals.
Best for: Buyers who want a stackable, expandable home system starting at 1kWh.
Where it falls short:
- Bulky cube shape
- 3-year warranty
