DON’T BUY RIVERFLOW if you value customer service and technical compatence.Tthis is what I got from them QUOTE: "your River Pro’s management board was found to be faulty, this issue cannot be repaired". … I mean, what kind of outfit can’t repair their own kit. However, they were amazing at platitudes

Can you run an ac while it charges with solar at the same time ??
Find a fan, and run the fan on the c1000 during fast charging to help with the 130⁰F temps
Bought this on Amazon for $429 ($462 after taxes) during the holiday sale. I use it as a UPS for my gaming computer, 2k monitor and internet router. It can run for about 4 hours on battery. Best purchase I’ve made so far.
Great video – subscribed
easy!a one watt light bulb for two seconds!
SoCal wildfires are causing blackouts throughout the south land. Ima grab one for the long hours we wait for the power to come back on
Thank you for the details ,
I definitely getting it 👍🏽
Can you use the generator as you are solar charging it?
I have the C1000 an used it this morning for toast and coffee because our power has been out in west Georgia since 4am. Your channel is very helpful and informative
Super happy this was a Lightening Deal on Amazon today! 57% OFF and we need it when wind & snow cause outages in the PNW! Can’t wait to get it! Thanks for the info! Right now I have no regrets!
I am going to purchase c1000 with bp1000. I am not solar Savvy at all please help how many 100 W solar panels do I need to charge both of these? I have nine of them
I got it at Home Depot 4-2-2025 and I let it become room temp over 48 hours. But then I got this one. Plug it in and charged to 100. Then I tried it. Plugged in a lamp. No problem. Next nite turn it back on. And I was amazed the bank was at 87 percent after the first nite use. I had the lamp on for about 3 hours. Next evening when I turned on the lamp. It went off. The Anker was at 70 percent. I could not get it to work. Read the manual it said, if it over heats it has an auto shut off. Well I unplugged the lamp. Let it sit eight hours. And it still didn’t work. Plugged it in. I smell fire and then smoke starts coming from the sides while using the wall charger. I did a small video. I. Certain I got a bad one. I’m going back. Get an exchange. Because I know this is not normal. 😢
Thanks, now I don’t need to test mine on a fridge. Note … change all lights to led including the fridge.
I know I am a little late but is that a 3ds xl case I see on the right side at 6:48 ?
How many hours can I used I. The macroway
How long did the 1800 watt space heater run for? How many panels do I need to run a 1800 space heater?
So it can power a hot plate for cooking right?
Mine doesnt show the output or time remaining. It shows for one second then goes off
Buyer beware purchasing directly from Anker’s webstore. They have a scam thing going that prevents you from cancelling an order you just made. It takes them 24 hours or more to respond to your cancellation request and by that time, the product has already shipped. Now you are responsible for paying for return shipping to their factory in Germany. Recommend you don’t buy directly from Anker, they have something shady going on.
Wonderful test! Thank you
Good real time review 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🙌🙌
Can this power a professional hairdryer? About 2100W for a professional dryer.
the expansion battery is a notable inclusion I hope becomes more common. i only want to pay for the controller once, not for every additional cell.
Would have liked it if you would have seen how long it would run your TV.
But I guess differences in televisions it probably wouldn’t necessarily be the same with all televisions😊.
I guess I will have to run my own test.
Otherwise fantastic video.
That’s what I like to see. Practical testing
I have a C1000 and 200w solar panel in my Amazon cart for $699. Before I pull the trigger I was wondering if there’s “pass through” charging, meaning charge via solar while powering the refrigerator?
Any idea how long a full charge lasts? Ideally I’d charge it before an outage & use it whenever one happens; it would suck to try that & then to find that the charge faded over time.
Quite an expensive piece of kit but loved the video ❤
Why not say what but that window unit was? Big difference from 3000 but to 7000 BTUs… very odd you won’t say
Can this run a small portable heater?
Will it provide automatic backup power to a sump pump
Can this unit be used without the phone and app? Thanks.
Really love your channel! Thank you for helping me select power stations for emergency use! I went through Hurricane Helene and wish I had known about the Anker then. I feel like I am better prepared with my Anker Solix C1000 and my Bluetti EB3A. I plan on adding additional batteries to the Anker in increments. You give so much GREAT info!! Thank you.
How long can it run a window ac w the solar connected?
Can someone do the math on one and tell me how much $ it takes to charge it
Thanks
I think the fast charging speed makes up for anything you may not like about it. 56 mins is amazing
Great! So I can run an Air Conditioner, Hair Dryer, Computer, Cell Phone, etc. All handy when the world ends. Or, I can get in my car and go to a hotel. I hope they have a bank of these things and about a square mile of Solar Panels, just for my hair dryer and the other hundred people that want dry hair.
Can you use it’s outlet when charging it? Like a UPS?
We purchased this unit in case the net goes down, which is predicted for July to scrub it, which means my whole house generator won’t kick in. Yes, it is undersized. Have you reviewed the battery pack option? Is it worth getting? Great video. Thanks.
Great Job very nice
Might have to get one just for this great review👍🏻👍🏻
Great video! How long will the C1000 hold a charge? Had a power outage today, went to crank up my gas powered generator and couldn’t get it going. Power was out for 6 1/2 hours. So if i had the C1000 fully charged would it hold that charge for 1 day? 1 week? 1 month? It’s an important feature because we’ve had very gray skies for over a month.
If i own one, I wouldn’t drain it below 10%. And charge it.
Since it’s lifepo4, does that make it more resistant to degradation if you fast charge a lot?
WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW THE CHARGING ABILITY WITH THE SOLAR PANELS ON A CLOUDY NO SUN DAY…
I have the same product on my homepage
I don’t need or want one of these but for some reason am wataching this… autism be weird sometimes.
