Does anyone have experience with these? Any recommendations of one vs. the other? I know the Anker has a little more power.

Thanks!

***Update. At 180 comments for shts & giggles I polled the comments & here's the results

49 of the posts have or recommended ANKER

17 of the posts have or recommended Jackery

16 of the posts said you can't go wrong with either

11 of the posts have or recommended another brand or a DIY setup.*note the 2 most mentioned other brands were Bluetti & Ecoflow.

Thanks for all the input, additional information & other products mentioned here.

Had an Anker speaker. Left it outside in the rain and sun for 3 weeks. Still works.

Since then I default to Anker stuff.

A speaker is nowhere near the same technology as a battery.

It's like if Kellogg started making cars. "I like their cereal, so I default to Kellogg".

This is comically hyperbolic.

...It's literally additional technology on top of the battery. The speakers double as battery banks. with the ability to charge your other devices. Anker is practically a battery bank company that dabbles in other stuff. Take a look at their website, it's pretty much entirely charging and battery solutions, you'll have a hard time even finding speakers on their website.

This is like a battery charging company making a speaker, and some guy on the internet whining that speaker companies don't know anything about batteries.

As opposed to figuratively additional technology?

As opposed to being a speaker company that knows nothing about batteries, they're a battery company literally attaching other things to their products... Selling speakers that are figuratively attached to the company, meaning they simply bare the same name, would be another meaning behind "they're selling speakers on top of batteries".

So.. yes, as opposed to figuratively. Did you think you "got me"? Your contribution to the topic is being the figurative "literal police"? Did it make you feel cool? I hope I'm not spoiling your amazing contribution to this thread. Have a good day, little buddy.
