BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 vs Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2

The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 runs an average fridge about 15% longer: 12.4 h vs 10.8 h. The BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 costs about $51 less (makers’ prices, Oct 21). The Elite 100 V2’s own 10 W draw is included. The gap shrinks at higher loads, where own draw matters less (table below).

Pick the Elite 100 V2 for the lower price (about $51 less) and faster solar refills; pick the C1000 Gen 2 for longer fridge runtimes.
