https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/trNiHiyeRjYxAkjLAnKvHg-2560-80.jpg

The Anker Solix S2000 made a strong first impression by being useful immediately. Starting at 59%, it covered my intermittent vacuum use throughout a working day and finished with charge remaining.Its biggest strengths are that useful battery capacity, sensible socket layout and an app that makes the controls understandable. The output ceiling needs consideration, but for compatible equipment, DIY jobs and household backup, there’s plenty to like.

Reasons to buy

  • +Handled repeated 1,200W vacuum sessions without trouble.
  • +Substantial battery capacity in a compact enclosure.
  • +Four UK sockets, sensibly split front and rear.
  • +Straightforward app with helpful explanations.
  • +Mains, solar and vehicle charging options.

Reasons to avoid

  • -1,500W output restricts higher-powered appliances.
  • -Still a substantial lift at 16.2kg.
  • -Only one USB-C port supports 100W.
  • -Alternative charging methods require suitable cables or accessories.
