Anker SOLIX C1000 vs UGREEN PowerRoam 600
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
UGREEN PowerRoam 600 costs $600 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- Anker SOLIX C1000 holds 55% more energy (1056Wh vs 680Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- Anker SOLIX C1000 has 900W more surge headroom (2400W vs 1500W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- UGREEN PowerRoam 600 is 10.8 lb lighter (17.6 lb vs 28.44 lb).
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.
The default recommendation for most people. It clears the 1kWh bar, recharges in under an hour, and undercuts almost everything with comparable specs.
Best for: First-time buyers who want one unit for camping and short outages without overpaying.
Where it falls short:
- 2400W surge won't start a sump pump or well pump
- Only 1056Wh — a fridge-plus-devices outage tops out around a day
UGREEN's entry unit punches slightly above its output class thanks to a 1,500W surge, but 600W of continuous power keeps it in device-and-small-appliance territory.
Best for: Campers who want a fast-charging sub-1kWh unit from a mainstream electronics brand.
Where it falls short:
- 600W output rules out heaters and compressors
- 680Wh is weekend-scale
