EcoFlow TITAN 5000 vs BLUETTI Apex 300 + 2×B500K
Your heaviest hour settles this, not your longest night: the TITAN 5000 delivers 7,200W of split-phase power to the Apex's 3,840W for less money, and storage, the Apex's strength, is the half you can add later.

Spec deltas
The TITAN 5000 puts out 7,200W of 120/240 V split-phase powerA1; the Apex 300 with two B500Ks tops out at 3,840W across every outlet it hasB13. That's 3,360W more on the TITAN's side, from the unit that costs $2,200 less.
What the Apex has instead is storage. Its 13,004.8Wh is 2.6 times the TITAN's 5,017.6WhA6, at a far lower rate per watt-hour. Both can feed a 240 V circuit, the TITAN through an L14-30 twist-lockA2 and the Apex through a 14-50RB13, so this isn't a 240 V-or-not page. It's a how-much-at-once page.
If the well pump, the oven and the furnace blower tend to wake up together, the TITAN is the one that keeps pace, and storage can be added later a pack at a timeA7. If your house sips power and your outages drag on, the Apex's bigger tank earns its price.
What the Numbers Reveal
Each conclusion stated first — the numbers behind it on one line, the full analysis below.
continuous output
The Apex's plug promises a bigger circuit than its inverter can feed; the TITAN's plug tells the truth. In practice the Apex runs a 240 V load while the rest of the house waits its turn, and the TITAN has 3,360W more before anything trips.
TITAN 5000: 7,200W continuous, 120/240 V split-phase at 30AA1TITAN outlet: L14-30 twist-lock marked 120V/240V 30AA2Apex: 14-50R marked 120/240 V, 50A; 3,840W max in totalB13
Why it mattersIf your backup plan includes a 240 V appliance plus ordinary household use, the TITAN is the one that doesn't make you choose.
Capacity
So the TITAN's headline figure is a sprint. It's there for the overlap, the stretch when the pump, the oven and the dryer all run, not for carrying a heavy house all evening on one pack. The Apex can't reach those peaks, but it holds its lower ceiling far longer.
TITAN 5000: 7,200WA1 from a 5,017.6Wh packA6, 4,265Wh usable after the 15% allowanceApex: 3,840WB13 from 13,004.8Wh, 11,054Wh usable
Why it mattersSize the purchase to your peaks: above 3,840W only the TITAN keeps up, and below it the Apex's endurance is worth having.
So the two gaps aren't equal. The TITAN's storage deficit is one you can close later, pack by pack, whenever the budget allows. The Apex's output deficit stays put however many batteries you stack behind it.
TITAN 5000: expands to 30,105.6Wh in six identical packsA7, all behind 7,200WA1Apex 300: 3,840W max in totalB13Capacity today: 5,017.6WhA6 against 13,004.8Wh
Why it mattersIf you expect your system to grow, grow it from the bigger inverter.
The specific dimensions that decide these two units — everything else is a tie.
Runtime: Will It Power Your Gear?
Selected because: Run flat out, these two last very different lengths of time, and that gap explains what each one is for.
continuous output
Give both the same modest load and the Apex lasts about 2.6 times as long, which is just the ratio of the tanks. The more telling test is each unit at full stretch: 4,265Wh usable at 7,200W is about half an hour for the TITAN, and 11,054Wh at 3,840W is about three hours for the Apex.
That's the honest catch in our pick. The TITAN's big number is headroom for overlapping loads, and on a single pack it can't hold that pace for long. If your evenings are long and steady rather than short and spiky, either budget for a second TITAN pack or accept that the Apex's bigger tank suits you better.
Growth Path
Selected because: Adding packs lengthens runtime and never raises output, so the inverter you start from sets what the system can become.
solar input
The TITAN grows to 30,105.6Wh in six identical packsA7, every one behind the same 7,200W; the second pack alone makes 10,035.2Wh, most of the way to the Apex bundle's 13,004.8Wh. The Apex expands as well, with each B500K adding hours rather than watts.
The solar side scales with it. The TITAN's 4,000W inputA3 refills a full six-pack bank in about seven and a half hours of rated sun (30,105.6 ÷ 4,000), and EcoFlow sells the line as whole-home backup, bundled with its 240 V Smart Home Panel 10, panels or extra batteriesA5. It's a platform meant to be grown into, not replaced.
Your Life, Your Pick
Selected because: Every row in the table peaks at 400W or less, so it measures the Apex's bigger tank and never tests the TITAN's bigger inverter.
Every home row is a pass for both, and none of them peaks above 400W, so this table never asks the question the TITAN is built to answer. What it does show is the Apex's endurance: the 8-hour blackout leaves it 5.7 more nights like it in hand, against the TITAN's 1.6.
The one row the TITAN fails is the 4,685Wh heavy day, missed by 420Wh after the 15% allowance; the Apex clears it with 6,369Wh to spare. Read that as the cost of one pack rather than a flaw in the unit, and factor a second pack into the plan if days like that are common.

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 is 119 lbs and the Apex 300 + 2×B500K 282.2 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.

Keep the essentials running through a night without power
Apex 300 + 2×B500K
Both survive the night. The Apex 300 + 2×B500K finishes at 15% used with 9,409Wh left — 5.7 more nights like it. The TITAN 5000 finishes at 39% with 2,620Wh, 1.6 more nights like it. 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
TITAN 5000
A CPAP is about 40W for eight hours, so both of these cover the night several times over — capacity isn't the question here, and the percentages are a formality. What matters is the box next to your pillow, and the only published difference is a rating: the TITAN 5000 is rated 39dB against the Apex 300 + 2×B500K's 45dB. Each is the maker's own published rating, and the makers do not measure the same way, some quoting a best case and some a figure under load, so neither number describes a 40W draw and the two are not really comparable. Treat them as a reason to look for hands-on reports before either one goes next to a bed, not as a difference you can count on hearing.

Conclusion
October 4, 2026
Verdict: the TITAN 5000
Take the TITAN 5000. It delivers 7,200W of 120/240 V split-phase, the full 30A at 240 V its twist-lock is marked forA1A2, against 3,840W shared across all six of the Apex's outletsB13, and it costs $2,200 less. The Apex bundle's 13,004.8Wh is 2.6 times the TITAN's pack and much the better buy per watt-hour, so it wins for a house that lives inside 3,840W and faces multi-night outages without sun. For everyone whose loads overlap, the TITAN's 3,360W of extra headroom is the one thing you can't add later.
Today the Apex 300 + 2×B500K is $4,399, $1,000 under its typical $5,399. 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 at $3,199 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 rates 4.6/5 (79th percentile of 20 Home Backup-class units), and Apex 300 + 2×B500K rates 3.5/5 (14th percentile of 29 Whole-Home / Off-Grid-class units).
How the class ranking is computed →Test Notes & Caveats
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 (119 lbs) is a two-person lift. The Apex 300 + 2×B500K (282.2 lbs) is spread across its boxes — no single lift, but nothing you reposition on a whim. That's a 163 lb difference, and it is paid once — getting the heavier one into position, not every time you move it.
Apex 300 + 2×B500K: 45dB Published
45dB is about as loud as a running refrigerator. The TITAN 5000 is rated 39dB — lower, but published by a different maker measuring its own way, so the two figures are not a like-for-like gap. For most people, fan noise around 45dB and up is where sleep starts to suffer.
UPS Switchover: ≤10ms vs ≤20ms
Both list a UPS mode, at different rated speeds. The Apex 300 + 2×B500K is rated ≤10ms — quick enough on paper that desktop PCs and routers should ride through, treating that as the rating it is. The TITAN 5000 is rated ≤20ms — fine on paper for routers and most electronics; the fussiest PC power supplies sit right at this line. If a computer with unsaved work is the thing being protected, the stated class is worth the attention; nothing here is a lab result.
Warranty: No Difference
Both units carry the same 5-year warranty, so coverage isn't a tiebreaker here. The Apex 300 + 2×B500K's figure is a maximum rather than a guarantee — it depends on buying direct from BLUETTI or registering the unit, since reseller purchases carry a shorter term. Worth saying because the per-dollar framing can suggest otherwise: the TITAN 5000 works out at 1.6 years of cover per $1,000 spent against the Apex 300 + 2×B500K's 0.9, but that spread is the price gap, not the terms.
Full record above — the Test Desk pick is the TITAN 5000.

│ warranty ends · Reaching the cycle rating means ~80% capacity remains — degraded, not dead. est. = no published cycle rating; the brand’s average is used instead.
Analyst note
The TITAN 5000 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.
Brand trust
EcoFlow
Ecosystem
Largest in portable power — 12-15 models across DELTA Pro, DELTA 3, and RIVER 3 series, plus solar panels and smart home panels
Support
US-based phone/email/chat support (1-800-368-8604). Experiences are polarized — many report hassle-free prepaid-label replacements, but others report long waits and refurbished units sent for new claims. Pro tip: buying from Costco or Amazon gives you a stronger return safety net.
Community
Largest community in the space — Reddit r/Ecoflow_community (~31K members), multiple Facebook groups, and an official community forum
App experience
Rated 4.6/5 iOS (~8,400 ratings) · 4.2/5 Android (~17,000 ratings)
Unique strength
Fastest-charging technology (X-Stream), deepest product ecosystem, and most active innovation cadence. At the top of the range sit two whole-home paths: the TITAN line, one 5 kWh unit that grows to 30 kWh, and the DELTA Pro Ultra platform, which stacks batteries and inverters further — flagship paths, not line-wide features.
Worth knowing
Tested subscription paywalls for advanced app features in early 2025 before community backlash paused the plan. No parts or service offered out of warranty.
BLUETTI
Ecosystem
One of the broadest lineups — 15-20+ models from budget (AC2A) to flagship portable (Apex 300, 2764.8Wh). Includes specialized products: vehicle solar hubs, sodium-ion cold-weather units, and balcony storage systems.
Support
The most inconsistent support in the space. Heavily email-based with China timezone delays. Some users get smooth, efficient service; others report weeks of troubleshooting runarounds, being offered discounts on new units instead of repairs, and confusing third-party purchase claim processes. Buying direct from Bluetti's website tends to produce better support outcomes.
Community
Active and growing — Reddit r/bluetti has a dedicated community. Second-largest after EcoFlow in engagement.
App experience
Rated 4.5/5 iOS and Android — tied for best app experience in the category. V3.0 UI redesign was well-received.
Unique strength
Among the best capacity-to-price ratios available — several Elite and Apex units are the lowest $/Wh in the catalog. Widest product diversity including industry-firsts like sodium-ion cold-weather units and dual solar+alternator vehicle hubs. LFP across the rest of the range, though rated cycle life spans 2,500 (EB3A) to 6,000, and it varies WITHIN the Elite range rather than tracking it — the Elite 300 and Elite 200 V2 are rated 6,000 while the Elite 30 V2, Elite 10 Mini, Elite 320 and Elite 400 are rated 3,000+ and the Elite 100 V2 4,000+, so check the specific model. Dual-voltage (120V/240V) in flagships.
Worth knowing
Customer support inconsistency is the #1 risk factor. Older/discontinued units may become unrepairable — no spare parts policy for some models. Some reports of erratic communication from support agents.
Analyst note
EcoFlow positions itself as a mid-to-premium brand with stronger support infrastructure, while BLUETTI competes on value. The question is whether the EcoFlow ecosystem and support premium is worth it for your use case.

Both expand, but the TITAN 5000's higher solar ceiling (4,000W vs 2,400W) gives it the stronger off-grid growth path — more panels can feed a bigger bank as it grows.
What Owners Report
Patterns from published owner reports and long-term reviews — every claim cited to its source below.
EcoFlow TITAN 5000
The record on the TITAN 5000 so far is EcoFlow's own published ratings. They set the inverter at 7,200W of 120/240 V split-phase at 30AA1, the outlets at three 20A sockets and an L14-30 twist-lockA2, and the pack at 5,017.6WhA6, expandable to 30,105.6WhA7. The same label rates solar input at 4,000WA3 and places the unit in a utility spaceA10.
“7,200 W continuous output with 120/240 V split-phase at 30 A.”
BLUETTI Apex 300 + 2×B500K
Owners of this exact pairing are scarce: our research turned up one, who bought the Apex 300 with a B500K to power a 50A fifth wheelB10, and otherwise reviewers who tested the head unit with the older B300K packsB0. One of those could run essentials for more than a full day on that smaller setupB8, which squares with how much more storage this bundle carries.
Weight is the thread running through the reviews, from one reviewer who could barely carry the head unit more than a few feetB4 to another who said to budget for a cart since it has no wheelsB11. Its outlets sit under rubber bungs that one reviewer found awkward with oversized plugsB5, and its USB and 12 V outputs need the separate Hub D1B13, an add-on reviewers thought expensive for what it doesB2B6.
“Some units sound like small jet engines under load, but the Apex 300's fans are relatively tame.”

“Not having DC or USB ports on the face is a tradeoff. The Hub D1 solves the problem—but it's an additional $300 accessory that you then have to bolt on after the fact.”

Who Should Buy Which
Buy the TITAN 5000 if you…
- →Your house has 240 V loads you want running alongside the kitchen and the furnace, not instead of them: 7,200W split-phase leaves 3,360W more room than the Apex.
- →You're wiring into EcoFlow's 240 V Smart Home Panel 10, which the TITAN is sold withA5, and want a 30A twist-lockA2 that its inverter backs in full.
- →You expect to add panels or packs over time and want the 4,000W solar inputA3 and six-pack ceilingA7 in place from day one.
- →A home that already has rooftop solar and wants to keep it: EcoFlow says the TITAN 5000 AC-couples to compatible existing solar through the Smart Home Panel 10 and a CT sensorA19.
Buy the Apex 300 + 2×B500K if you…
- →Your house runs comfortably under 3,840W at any moment and your outages last several nights: the Apex finishes an 8-hour blackout with 5.7 more like it in reserve.
- →You want the most storage you can get in one purchase, at the lowest rate per watt-hour, and don't plan to add packs.
- →You want a TT-30R and a 14-50R on the box itselfB13, say for a 50A fifth wheel like the one in the only owner post on this pairingB10.
If neither fits
If the job is a fridge, Wi-Fi and lights through an afternoon outage, close this tab; either is overkill by a wide margin, and a mid-size portable station does it. If you need heavy 240 V loads running for hours at a stretch, a single pack of either is the wrong tool, and a standby generator or a permanently installed home battery is the category to price.
The Bottom Line
The TITAN 5000 carries 3,360W more at 240 V and costs $2,200 less; the Apex bundle carries less, for much longer. Storage is the half you can add a pack at a time and output is the half you're stuck with, so start from the bigger inverter.
Take the TITAN 5000, and budget for its second pack if your evenings run long.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers drawn from the spec record and cited owner research.
Does the BLUETTI Apex 300 do 240V like the TITAN 5000?
Yes, through a 14-50R marked 120/240 V, but its whole output is 3,840W shared across every outlet. The TITAN 5000 delivers 7,200W of 120/240 V split-phase through an L14-30 twist-lock. Both feed a 240 V circuit; the TITAN can carry nearly twice the load on it.
How long can the TITAN 5000 run at its full 7,200W?
About half an hour on one pack: 4,265Wh usable after a 15% conversion allowance, divided by 7,200W. Read the big number as headroom for loads that overlap, not a sustained draw. Extra packs, up to 30,105.6Wh in all, stretch it.
Which is better for a multi-day power outage?
On battery alone, the Apex bundle: 13,004.8Wh against 5,017.6Wh, and it finishes an 8-hour blackout with 5.7 more nights in reserve to the TITAN's 1.6. Add solar and the gap narrows, because the TITAN's 4,000W input refills its pack far faster than the Apex's 2,400W refills its own.
Is the TITAN 5000 worth it over the Apex 300 with two B500Ks?
If your loads ever overlap past 3,840W, yes, and it costs $2,200 less. You give up 7,987Wh of storage, which EcoFlow's extra packs can win back later; no amount of added battery lifts the Apex past 3,840W.
Can the TITAN 5000 pass grid power through to the house?
Yes. Its AC IN/OUT port takes 120/240 V split-phase input at up to 30A and, in bypass mode, passes up to 7,200W through to the outlets. EcoFlow's own product image shows the display reading 4.00 kW in.
What does the TITAN 5000 add beyond the spec sheet?
EcoFlow says the TITAN Series couples to compatible existing rooftop solar through the Smart Home Panel 10 and a CT sensor. The TITAN 5000 is also UL 9540 certified and tested to UL 9540A, and its X-Fusion 2.0 can work through the main panel beyond the backed-up circuits. EcoFlow's Storm Mode pre-charges the battery before severe weather. OASIS 3.0 is marked a subscription feature in the EcoFlow app.
