- Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus has 2800W more surge headroom (4000W vs 1200W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Allpowers R600 is 19.2 lb lighter (12.8 lb vs 32 lb).
- Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus is rated for 4,000 cycles vs 3,500 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
