Which one should you buy?

Pick the Jackery HomePower 3000 if 3 kWh and 3,600 W cover your backup list and you want a lighter, cheaper unit. Pick the Anker SOLIX F3800 if you want to run bigger loads (6,000 W continuous, 9,000 W surge), charge from up to 2,400 W of solar, or add expansion batteries later. We do not name a single winner because they suit different homes and budgets. See the power station list.

Price per Wh

These are dated manufacturer store prices from Oct 11, 2026, and both were promotions. The HomePower 3000’s regular price of $1,499 would be about $0.49 per Wh. The F3800’s regular price of $2,199.99 would be about $0.57 per Wh, so the F3800 stays the more expensive per Wh either way.

What to watch out for

The F3800’s 162-minute AC charge is from Anker’s UK landing page at a 1,800 W grid input, so check the US manual for your region. At 60 kg it is hard to move without a cart. The HomePower 3000 cannot be expanded, so its 3,072 Wh is the ceiling. To power house circuits, use a transfer switch installed by a qualified electrician. For smaller needs see the home backup list, the Jackery and Anker SOLIX hubs and the runtime calculator.

FAQ

Which is better for whole-home backup?

Neither connects to house wiring on its own. Both need a transfer switch installed by a qualified electrician, and the F3800's 6,000 W covers heavier loads.

How heavy is the F3800?

Anker lists 60 kg (132.3 lb), against 27 kg for the HomePower 3000, so the F3800 is a unit you set in place rather than carry.
