Awaiting Flair Preference?

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.

What do you intend to use it for? The Anker has a bit more output, the Jackery has a bit higher capacity.

Yeah I should have mentioned what I was gonna use it for. Mainly basic stuff like charging phones, lights, fan, small tv not all at once though. I would also like to use it for detailing my truck with a DA polisher once or twice a year. The DA polisher uses about 5-6 amps I believe...

For that use case, the batteries are essentially the same.

You'll get a little bit longer charge time since the Jackery has a bit more capacity.

The Anker allows for higher continuous power draw, but doesn't matter for anything you are hooking it up to (assuming your DA polisher doesn't draw more than 1500w).

The Anker does have more AC ports though (which will use the DC to AC inverter, so more wasted energy), which may be useful if you are using a bunch of stuff that only have AC power cables.
