Anker reveals Solix C1000 and Solix F3800 portable power stations

Anker, a company known for its power banks, coolers, and other electronics, today revealed two new members of the Solix lineup — the C1000 Portable Power Station and F3800 Portable Power Station. The Solix C1000 is geared toward camping and home emergencies, while the Solix F3800 is a larger unit with a wide variety of uses.

Holding up to 1056Wh of power, the Solix C1000 can power most home appliances, including laptops, routers, lights, aquariums, and CPAP machines. This makes it a great power bank to have on hand in case of power outages. It also supports Anker’s HyperFlash Technology, allowing it to get back to a full battery with just 58 minutes of charging.

Toss in a 10-year life span and the ability to last for more than 3,000 charging cycles, and it’s clear that the C1000 is designed as a reliable companion for your home.

The C1000 is a bit expensive at $999, but it has plenty of features to back up its price tag. It’ll go on sale October 9, but preorders are now open. You can also pick up an expansion battery for $799 in November, which gives it even more juice.

You’ll have to wait a bit longer for the Solix F3800, which is slated for a launch sometime in early 2024. This massive power station boasts a capacity of 3840Wh, allowing it to charge multiple heavy-duty appliances at once, including washing machines and dryers.

Its impressive capacity makes the F3800 perfect for RV trips, as you can head out for a weekend of boondocking without needing to worry about how to power your gear.

Anker notes that the F3800 has also been designed to “directly charge your EV” at 2900 watts without any grounding accessories required, making it more multifaceted than many other power stations. And, as you’d expect for products in the Solix lineup, both the C1000 and F3800 can be charged with solar power — the C1000 supports 600W and the F3800 supports 2400W.

Expect to learn more about the F3800 (including its price) as we inch closer to its release date.

Dirty carpets or rugs? Yeah, we all have experienced that or one time or another. You can go through the hassle of throwing it in the washer -- if you can fit it -- and then letting it air dry, but only if it's a rug. You cannot do that with a carpet. So, it's always good to have a carpet cleaner on hand, but so many of them have not been upgraded with the times as your average vacuum has. Or have they? Tineco is throwing that idea on its head with its innovative Carpet One Cruiser a smart carpet cleaner equipped with the brand's unique features. For example, it incorporates Tineco's iLoop smart sensor technology to detect how dirty the carpet is and adjust cleaning power to match. Or, how about the integrated FlashDry self-cleaning system? It cleans the brush roller, suction inlet, and related parts like the brush roller cover with just a single press of a button. Then it completely dries the brush with hot air, taking all of that extra work off you. Yes, please. For a limited time, Digital Trends' readers can use code TINDTCARPET to get 20% off a Carpet ONE Cruiser purchase -- that's about $100 off bringing the regular price from $699 down to $599 so you don't want to ignore that deal.
