Anker Solix E10 review: After 4 months with this home backup system, I'll never worry about a power outage or a storm again

I have become quite the expert when it comes to portable power stations.

It's definitely a weird flex, but I'll take it when I can get it.

When it comes to power stations, there are several different categories of how they are scaled.

Some can run your phone, some can run your fridge, some can run your room, and some can run your house.

The Anker Solix E10 is on that home side.

The company calls it "a Whole-Home Backup System, uniting battery, solar and a smart generator." And that's absolutely - and impressively - what it does.

It can scale up to where it could be a larger home and scale down to where it'll be a smaller home, or maybe a large garage, depending on what all you have in your garage.

The point is that it is a power station comparable to probably a Tesla Power Wall, as a lot of people would recognize just due to the brand name.

It is not only a reservoir of power that you can pull from in case of a power outage, but also a transfer switch.

It has the ability to connect with solar panels to intake solar power from the sun and utilize that to run your home.

Depending on the power company, you have potentially even kicked back some power to the grid and gotten yourself a return.

If you run out of power in case of emergency and you don't have enough solar to run your entire home, you can even connect to a portable smart generator that happens to be tri-fuel.

That means you could then run that off of natural gas, propane gas, or gasoline.

So at the end of the day, over the last 141 days that I have had this set up at my home, I have not once worried about a power outage or a storm that's coming, knocking out my power and causing food to spoil or for my kids to panic.
