Head-to-head test
EcoFlow TITAN 5000 Plus vs Anker SOLIX F3800 PLUS
The Plus's 10 kW headline needs solar or grid power flowing in; from the battery it's 7,200W against the Anker's 6,000W, so the extra money really buys a 41.7A outlet and an 8 kW charging path, and only buyers who'll use those should pay it.

Spec deltas
The Plus's display reads 10.00 kW outA5, and that's the number to handle carefully. EcoFlow's label says the 10 kW is a total that needs solar or grid power flowing in, with 7,200W from the batteryA1. Against the F3800 PLUS's 6,000W that's still the stronger inverter, by 1,200W rather than the 4,000W the headline implies.
What the Plus genuinely adds is specialist hardware. Its split-phase output is rated 41.7A through a four-pin 14-50-pattern outlet, where EcoFlow's TITAN 5000 stops at 30AA2A3, and EcoFlow's product image shows 8.00 kW coming in, twice the TITAN 5000's 4.00 kWA5. The 5,017.6Wh pack is the same on all three TITANsA7.
Our call goes to the Anker for most buyers, at $1,099 less. It runs 120/240V split-phase at 6,000W, takes 3,200W of solar, and has nine AC outlets to the Plus's three. Buy the Plus for the 41.7A circuit or the 8 kW refill; otherwise it's a TITAN 5000 with extras you'd be paying for and not plugging intoA1A7.
What the Numbers Reveal
Each conclusion stated first — the numbers behind it on one line, the full analysis below.
continuous output
In a blackout there's no grid to pass through. The Plus's 41.7A outlet then carries what 7,200W can push, and its lead over the Anker's 6,000W is the 1,200W between them. The 41.7A rating earns its keep while the grid is up, feeding a big circuit through the unit, which isn't the night most people buy a battery for.
Plus label: 10 kW max total, 7,200W for discharge onlyA1Plus split-phase outlet: 120/240V at 41.7AA2F3800 PLUS: 6,000W continuous
Why it mattersSizing for outages? Compare 7,200W with 6,000W and treat the 41.7A rating as a grid-up feature.
Where 8 kW earns its place is a full stack. At six packs, 30,105.6WhA8, a 4 kW path needs most of a working day to refill and an 8 kW path roughly half that. If you're building toward that stack and have a source that can deliver 8 kW, the charging path is real value. On one pack, it's a fast lane you'll rarely be in.
Plus display: 8.00 kW in, twice the TITAN 5000's 4.00 kWA5Plus solar input: 8,000W total across 2 inputs of 4,000W eachA4Expands to 30,105.6Wh, six packsA8
Why it mattersSingle-pack buyers can ignore the 8 kW path; stack builders with a high-output source should weigh it.
So this page is really two comparisons stacked. One is a TITAN-sized pack and inverter against the Anker's 3,840Wh and 6,000W; the other is two specialist features. If the first is what draws you, EcoFlow sells it without the second.

The specific dimensions that decide these two units — everything else is a tie.
Runtime: Will It Power Your Gear?
Selected because: Sized for a blackout, the Plus offers 7,200W and 5,017.6Wh from its battery, and the 10 kW headline drops out.
continuous output
Size an outage on what the battery can do alone, because that's all you'll have. On those terms the Plus brings 5,017.6Wh and 7,200W against the Anker's 3,840Wh and 6,000WA1A7, and it outlasts the Anker on every load in the runtime table.
The catch is where that power comes out. The Plus has three AC outlets, two 120V 20A sockets and the 41.7A split-phase outletA3, against nine on the Anker. Without a panel wired to the big outlet, most of the Plus's runtime has one way out.
Growth Path
Selected because: The 8 kW charging path matters most once the pack grows toward its 30,105.6Wh ceiling.
solar input
The Plus stacks to six packs, 30,105.6WhA8, and this is where its 8 kW charging pathA5 stops looking like a spec-sheet flourish. One pack refills quickly enough at 4 kW; a six-pack stack takes most of a day at that rate and about half as long at 8 kW. The F3800 PLUS expands too, through Anker's own batteries, so the difference here is how fast a big stack comes back, not whether you can build one.
Your Life, Your Pick
Selected because: The scenario grid can't see the Plus's two extras, which is itself the useful finding.
The grid barely separates these two, and that's the point. CPAP Overnight and Remote Workday are ties with neither unit past 28% of its pack, and the blackout leaves the Plus with 2,620Wh to the Anker's 1,619Wh, numbers the TITAN 5000 would post identically on the same packA7. None of the scenarios touches a 41.7A circuit or an 8 kW refill, which are the two things the Plus charges extra for.
The camping and tailgate rows are noise for a pair of utility-room machines: EcoFlow sites the Plus in a utility space outside living areasA11, and the F3800 PLUS is a stationary unit.
Brand Trust
Selected because: A multi-pack installation commits you to one maker's app and expansion hardware for years.
A stack this size ties you to one maker's app and expansion hardware for years, so the brand caveats weigh more than usual. EcoFlow tested a subscription paywall for advanced app features in early 2025 and paused it after backlash, and it offers no parts or service out of warranty. Anker's firmware updates have removed features without warning, and its expansion ecosystem is the smaller of the two.
For a buyer genuinely building toward six packs, that last point leans slightly EcoFlow's way. For everyone else, it's a wash.

Weekend Camping
Two nights off-grid with essential comfort
Neither unit
Scoring these two at a campsite is a category error: neither travels — the TITAN 5000 Plus is 121.3 lbs and the SOLIX F3800 PLUS 132.3 lbs, and at those weights they roll off a truck bed if they go anywhere at all. The 2,100Wh here is trivial for either — it's the going that doesn't happen. If you need power away from the building, you're shopping the wrong class.

TITAN 5000 Plus
Both survive the night. The TITAN 5000 Plus finishes at 39% used with 2,620Wh left — 1.6 more nights like it. The SOLIX F3800 PLUS finishes at 50% with 1,619Wh, 98% of a second night. If your outages tend to run past one evening, that difference is the whole argument between them.

CPAP Overnight
Sleep therapy without interruption — the #1 medical use case
Either unit
A CPAP is about 40W for eight hours, so both cover the night with room to spare and capacity decides nothing. Fan noise would — but SOLIX F3800 PLUS doesn't publish a figure, so there's nothing to hold it to. Buy on price, weight, and whether you can live with a fan you haven't heard.

Either unit
Both power your workstation all day without strain. The SOLIX F3800 PLUS lists 100W of USB-C for direct laptop charging; the TITAN 5000 Plus carries no USB-C at all, so a laptop there goes through the inverter and you are carrying its brick.

Conclusion
October 4, 2026
Verdict: the Anker SOLIX F3800 PLUS
Buy the F3800 PLUS unless the Plus's specialist hardware is why you're shopping. Both run 120/240V split-phase, and the Plus is the bigger machine on battery alone: 5,017.6Wh to 3,840Wh and 7,200W to 6,000WA1A7. But its 10 kW headline needs solar or grid power flowing inA1, and what it adds over EcoFlow's own TITAN 5000, which shares that pack and that 7,200W, is a 41.7A split-phase outlet and an 8 kW charging pathA2A5. At $1,099 over the Anker, those two features have to be worth it to you on their own. If you just want more than the Anker's pack and inverter, the TITAN 5000 is the EcoFlow to compare.
Today the SOLIX F3800 PLUS is $2,399.99, $200 under its typical $2,599.99. The verdict weighs typical prices, not today's. Prices checked 28 days ago.
EcoFlow has not published this price yet. We priced the TITAN 5000 Plus at $3,699 from EcoFlow's pre-launch store listing, so treat it as an estimate. We will update this comparison when the price is published.

Runtime model
Runtime = (rated capacity × 0.85 inverter efficiency) ÷ device wattage. Solar recharge estimates assume panels deliver 70% of rated output. Cold weather, battery age, and stacked loads reduce real-world results.
Power Score
Computed from 14 published spec dimensions, weighted per use-case bench. Higher is better; a unit must meet a bench's minimum threshold to be rated.
See the full weight table and data sourcing on our methodology page →Class ranking (the star rating)
Each unit's star score is a category ranking, not customer reviews — no buyer opinions feed it. We score every station on size-independent quality (value, output, portability, endurance, ports, warranty, and more), then percentile-rank it against the other units in its capacity class, so a class-leading compact unit and a class-leading whole-home unit can both earn 5★. Here, TITAN 5000 Plus rates 4.7/5 (84th percentile of 20 Home Backup-class units), and SOLIX F3800 PLUS rates 4.4/5 (63rd percentile of 20 Home Backup-class units).

Hidden gotchas and advantages we spotted that you won't find on the product page.
Weight Reality Check
Neither unit is grab-and-go. The TITAN 5000 Plus (121.3 lbs) is a two-person lift. The SOLIX F3800 PLUS (132.3 lbs) is firmly a two-person lift. It goes where you put it and stays there. That's an 11 lb difference.
Warranty: No Difference
Both units carry the same 5-year warranty, so coverage isn't a tiebreaker here. Worth saying because the per-dollar framing can suggest otherwise: the SOLIX F3800 PLUS works out at 1.9 years of cover per $1,000 spent against the TITAN 5000 Plus's 1.4, but that spread is the price gap, not the terms.
SOLIX F3800 PLUS: Noise Level Not Disclosed
The TITAN 5000 Plus publishes its noise level (39dB); the SOLIX F3800 PLUS doesn't publish one. That isn't evidence the SOLIX F3800 PLUS is louder — it means there's no figure to hold it to, and no way to compare the two on this without hearing them. If you're buying for a bedroom, a CPAP, or an apartment, treat the TITAN 5000 Plus's 39dB as the only published number on the table — a spec-sheet figure, not a measurement — and look for hands-on reports of the SOLIX F3800 PLUS before deciding.

Analyst note
The TITAN 5000 Plus has no published cycle rating, so its lifetime rows use the average of the 28 LiFePO4 units EcoFlow does rate: about 3,400 cycles. That's a fair baseline for the brand but not a rating for this unit, so cost to own isn't scored on it. Judge these two on price, capacity and warranty, and read the rows marked "est." as a ballpark.

What Owners Report
Patterns from published owner reports and long-term reviews — every claim cited to its source below.
EcoFlow TITAN 5000 Plus
Everything on record for the Plus is EcoFlow's own rating label and store page. They establish 7,200W from the battery inside a 10 kW total that needs solar or grid power flowing inA1, a 41.7A split-phase outletA2A3, 8,000W of solar across two 40 to 450V inputsA4, a product image showing 8.00 kW inA5, and the shared 5,017.6Wh packA7. It's the maker's account, and we've treated it as that rather than as anyone's experienceA0.
“"Total Output: 10 kW Max (7200W for discharge only)" — the battery delivers 7,200 W, the same as the TITAN 5000; the 10 kW total includes grid pass-through.”

“X-Fusion 2.0: solar powers the home first, then charges TITAN for after dark; at peak rates TITAN runs the home on stored energy, and working with the grid through the main panel it can power loads beyond the backed-up circuits.”

“I think it may be a fire hazard with this crazy noise it's making. I have emailed Anker support over 5 times... Anker support is ghosting me after I spent over 20k on their solix line and solar panels within a month.”

Who Should Buy Which
Buy the TITAN 5000 Plus if you…
- →The household routing a big 240V circuit through the unit day to day, where the 41.7A rating covers grid pass-through or solar input that a 30A outlet wouldn't, with a 240V Smart Home Panel 10 and an electrician already in the planA2A6.
- →The buyer building toward a multi-pack stack with a high-output charging source, where the 8 kW pathA5 cuts the refill of a full 30,105.6Wh stack roughly in halfA8.
- →Your house leans on 120 V loads running together: EcoFlow says X-Boost 2.0 gives the Plus up to 5 kW on each 120 V legA24.
Buy the SOLIX F3800 PLUS if you…
- →The household that wants 240V split-phase for a well pump or dryer circuit and finds 6,000W and 3,840Wh enough: the Anker does that job for $1,099 less.
- →Anyone who needs a standalone station without a transfer panel: nine AC outlets and 100W USB-C, ready to plug into.
The Bottom Line
Buy the F3800 PLUS unless the Plus's specialist hardware is the reason you're here. The Plus is the bigger machine, but part of its 10 kW belongs to the grid, and what's genuinely its own over EcoFlow's TITAN 5000 is a 41.7A outlet and an 8 kW charging path.
If you're wiring that circuit or building that stack, the Plus is the box EcoFlow made for you. If you aren't, you'd be paying $1,099 over a 240V Anker for two features you'll never plug anything into.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers drawn from the spec record and cited owner research.
Does the EcoFlow TITAN 5000 Plus really output 10 kW?
Not from its battery. EcoFlow's label lists 10 kW as the total that needs solar or grid power flowing in, with 7,200W for discharge, so in a blackout with no sun on the array 7,200W is the ceiling. That's still more than the F3800 PLUS's 6,000W.
What 240V outlet does the TITAN 5000 Plus have?
A four-pin 14-50-pattern outlet marked 120V/240V 41.7A, alongside two 120V 20A sockets. That's three AC outlets against nine on the F3800 PLUS, which is why EcoFlow bundles the Plus with its 240V Smart Home Panel 10. From the battery alone, 7,200W at 240V is 30A, so the 41.7A rating comes into play with the grid up.
How fast does the TITAN 5000 Plus recharge?
EcoFlow's own product image shows its display at 8.00 kW in, twice the TITAN 5000's 4.00 kW. Solar takes up to 8,000W across two inputs, against 3,200W on the Anker, so panels alone can in principle fill the 8 kW path. It matters most once you've stacked extra batteries toward the 30,105.6Wh ceiling.
Is the TITAN 5000 Plus worth it over the Anker F3800 Plus?
Only if you'll use what's unique to it. The Plus costs $1,099 more and brings a bigger pack and a stronger inverter, but EcoFlow's TITAN 5000 shares that pack and that 7,200W; the Plus's own additions are the 41.7A outlet and the 8 kW charging path. Without a need for either, the Anker, or the TITAN 5000 if you want more, is the better buy.
What does the TITAN 5000 Plus add beyond the spec sheet?
EcoFlow lists UL 9540 certification and UL 9540A testing, and sells the Plus with a factory pre-wired Smart Home Panel 10 that gives app control of 10 circuits. It also lists AC coupling with compatible existing rooftop solar, which needs that panel and a CT sensor. EcoFlow says X-Fusion 2.0 lets solar power the home first and the battery cover peak-rate hours, and X-Boost 2.0 gives the Plus up to 5 kW on each 120 V leg. OASIS 3.0, which learns household habits and forecasts solar up to 3 days ahead, is marked a subscription feature in the EcoFlow app.
