A question we often get from our readers is, which brand should I buy, and why?<\/p>\n
Today we’re going to compare the two brands, but since they both have products for different purposes and we want to compare apples to apples, we’re going to do seven comparisons with two similar power stations in each comparison.<\/p>\n
I try to keep this post updated as new power stations are released. Because of this, the post can be messy and contradicting in some places. I appreciate comments that help me keep the post updated and accurate.<\/p>\n
These are the comparisons (click to view on Amazon):<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that when comparing two power stations to each other, which one is better for your needs depends on what you’re looking for.<\/p>\n
It’s hard to say whether a more powerful AC outlet is more important than more battery capacity. We will compare the specifications of each product and explain what difference they make, but the final decision is up to you.<\/p>\n
Since there are new solar generators almost monthly, we will come back and update the post in the future.<\/p>\n
