Figures read C1000 first, DELTA 3 second.

Which one suits what

One line per criterion, each with the numbers behind it. There is no overall winner: weigh the lines that matter for your list.

  • Longer runtime on the same load: the Anker SOLIX C1000, with 1,056 Wh against 1,024 Wh for the DELTA 3. Runtime follows usable watt hours.
  • Bigger loads at once: a tie at 1,800 W.
  • Motor and compressor starts: the EcoFlow DELTA 3, with 3,600 W against 2,400 W for the C1000. The surge rating covers the start of a fridge, pump or tool.
  • Carrying it: the EcoFlow DELTA 3, with 27.6 lb (12.5 kg) against 28.4 lb (12.9 kg) for the C1000. Lighter is easier to move.
  • Price per watt hour: the Anker SOLIX C1000, with $0.57 against $0.68 for the DELTA 3. Prices as stored for October 2026; sale prices change often.
  • Solar refill: the Anker SOLIX C1000, with 2.3 h of peak sun against 2.7 h of peak sun for the DELTA 3. From empty at each station's own solar limit.

Running time, side by side
