Head to head
EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus vs Anker SOLIX C300
Lifetime cost can't be compared here — SOLIX C300 doesn't publish a cycle rating to the 80% standard; on price alone the SOLIX C300 is cheaper. For raw power, the RIVER 3 Plus leads with 600 W continuous and 1,200 W surge. The SOLIX C300 carries more energy (288 vs 286 Wh), and RIVER 3 Plus recharges faster from solar (220 W input cap). Run your own appliances through the Load Builder to see which one fits your load.
