UGREEN PowerRoam 600 vs Anker 555 PowerHouse
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 $300 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- Anker 555 PowerHouse holds 51% more energy (1024Wh vs 680Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- UGREEN PowerRoam 600 is 12.3 lb lighter (17.6 lb vs 29.9 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.
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
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
