Thanks for contacting the company. Good idea, I went on to purchase one and it is $249.99. Though the video came out 11/30 you mentioned it was a Cybo Monday sale. Hmmm...???
Best friggin' Anker review on the web! I don't know why the vast, vast majority of channels don't even show the unit in use! Thank you, just subscribed!
Back after the trip, I have the #Anker757 and used it on my desert trip with the 300w soler, it is a BEAST!! more then enough to power the camp and to keep my #Domitec 92 CRX3 ruining the hole time. I think the fast charging is the key for it to stand up for its readiness. It did handle the work all day specially when we make coffee on the Nespresso machine.
Great test. And yesterday I got the EU version of the Anker 521. Tested it with the Jackery SolarSaga 100 and can confirm: they play well together (>58 Watts solar charging).
Got one to run my astrophotography gear.... get about 8 hours of use and takes it down to 70%. thats running cameras (guide camera, dslr) , focusser, mount, asiair, heater
Been following Jackery, TOGO, prices for months, ever since watching the 300W models review. Waiting for Jackery to have the 300 back in stop and comparing against the TOGO 330 and 350 models. So I had pricing and discounts memorized. Both announced Black Friday and/or Cyber Monday deals. TOGO raised their prices back to retail then discounted. So you really didn’t get the 30% off that they advertised in comparison to pricing a week ago. Jackery flashed a $209 price yesterday on the 300 for about an hour, went to buy and it was back to $299, which was the list price for months. So no surprise these companies advertise one price and bait/switch. Just need to be fast I guess!
Actually this is only their first LiFePO4 power station, NOT their first power station. I’ve had the 400 watt Lithium of theirs ( Anker Powerhouse II 400) for over a year now. Their extremely good info screen was what won me over on it. It’s been my go-to for awhile. The Powerhouse II 800 came out about 9 months ago.
"those of you watching this video weeks or months from now don't complain when the price goes up" err, what about 30 minutes after? Can we complain now?
When I first saw the 521 I also thought it was 521 watts. Bummer...but I love Anker & the dual charging & pass through. Most power stations don't let you use AC & charge the device at the same time or use AC & DC at the same time.
Hopefully they will listen and keep the pass through and double charge and then add some real (up to date) ports. (QC3) in a 2K unit and bypass all the other models. Make one that competes with Blueitti and Ecoflow
Interesting...been wondering when one of my favorite companies was going to enter the race!! Still love Bluetti as well, Hope Anker keeps on competing!
Hobotech is the only one that measures how loud the fans are which is critical if you use a CPap. Who cares if it can run a CPap if when the fan turns on it loudly screeches and wakes you up? Keep measuring those fans Hobo, you doing a great job!
lots of people are getting into the Chinese Diesel Heater craze. This solar Generator would be perfect to run the Heater in startup ,and shutdown mode. The Heaters draw a little over 8 amps once fully powered up draws less than 2 Amps continuously.
Just looked this up on Amazon - on 11/30/2021 the price is $249.99, so they were wrong about the price staying past "Cyber Monday" until the video came out.
This is currently on sale for $169 with a standard price of $199. There is an updated 522 model you should get instead. However, my 521 has served me well as a UPS for my network equipment so no complaints here.
@@CookingJoeFoods it supports higher wattage appliances for the AC outlets and I think the USB C ports are higher wattage as well to charge laptops faster. Equipment running on AC power tends to spike when you first turn them on and then they settle into a lower consumption. This would allow the equipment to spike significantly higher and run some higher wattage appliances. Up to you.
I bought mine on Black Friday for US$199.99 and it just arrived yesterday (12/4/21). I know the sale lasted for at least a couple of hours then because I was undecided and kept it in my cart before buying. **Anker was being Big Time cheapskates on Cyber Monday!!!** Just opened the box and it's charging up.
Another great review! Reminds me of my Ninja Bat.... Itd be cool to see you do a video on a designated solar system for running a deep freezer.

Great channel btw!
@@gregpeterman1102 Yes an AC Home Freezer. Just a Mid sized freezer - holds a substanial amount of meat....itd be cool to have a system to keep that alive for the summer months.
@@5150gtrman If it was me, I'd just solar cool it all day from sun, and let it stay shut and cold at night, maybe put some of those super cold ice packs on top of the contents, (takes them 2 or 3 days to thaw) then you would only need battery power after 2 or 3 cloudy days. Use an upside down ice tray to check if thawed while you weren't watching.
@@gregpeterman1102 Thats kinda of what I have now...I have a layer of frozen water bottle covering the top incase theres a power outage in the summer, the ice bottles will keep it cold for a while...its running the freezer that I want to nail down, as in how much battery power - panels and inverted size to get it self sufficient.
@@5150gtrman Before I got my 12 volt, I was going to try a small AC chest freezer for nomad camping because it would be a cheaper unit/solution. Then those cheap things from China started showing up, so I never got around to it. I'm banking on my portable solar to save the day (frozen stuff) if a hurricane visits me here at the house in Florida. I'd love to know how long a 100 Ah LiFePO4 would handle that AC freezer.
What exactly am I getting for the $50 increase within an hour of posting? Sometimes you don't get what you paid for and or pay too much. If it was $199 an hour ago, this seems like a rip off now to me at $250.
@@msjenny0727 I'm starting to wonder if the deal was expired at time of upload and didn't even last 30 minutes. If so, cyber monday is over obviously so why post an outdated deal?

I've always been impressed with Anker powerbanks but their multi-port usb wall chargers are unreliable. I have several of their wall chargers and they've all had USB ports that stopped working. The saving grace is that Anker will send you a free replacement, without even having to return the old one. But the replacements usually have failed ports after 3-12 months too.
Uh, they lied to you, the price is $250 as of 11/30/21 at 0721 MST only a couple of hours of you publishing video. I'm so angry, lol. Decepticons destroy Optimus.....oh sorry, wrong robots. Thank you for your time I appreciate your reviews.
Can you charge via solar, directly from solar panel to 8mm dc adapter cable to 8mm dc jack in the back of the unit WITHOUT a middle unit to convert the power. My apologies, I have no idea haha
Great review, thanks! How does it compare to the bigger Anker 535? I am on the fence between the 535 and the EcoFlow River 2 Pro but have no experience with either company. Subscribed
Hello..love your videos..can I get your opinion..im looking at the anker 521 vs ravpower 70200 ...which one is better for laptop power...I know one is Lithium versus lithium phosphate..that being said i dont understand volts and watts...thanks for any input🙏🏽
Enjoyed presentation, I am looking for another power station, especially one that can be multi-charged. Amazon lied, price is not $199 now, as of November30th at 10:30am. Thanks anyway.
I have Anker Solix 1000. In the manual says to charge to 100% after use. Pretty much recommending to store it at 100%!?! Isn't this increasing the battery degradation? The manual also reconfirms if stored for long periods to recharge to 100% every 3 months. I see online information that the string at 100% for LFP is still somehow bad, the reason it needs 100% is to calibrate the BMS. What is you take on this?
It offers quick charging via the USB-C port. Hence the IQ-3 (clever little tech that supports PD and QC standards). Not USB-A, sure, but it’s time to move on 😃 - although, I thought standard IQ did do limited faster charging 🤷♂️
4get baby steps we need a 2K model Something to go against Bluetti and Ecoflow. Jackery says there ETA on there 2K is early 2022. Whatever that means. The market needs a 2K Model.
246wh? As far as I can tell, these only make sense if you must have an AC outlet. With most laptops (my main use case) able to use USB-C directly, you could get a couple of power banks that are a fraction of the cost and size. Considering there are many recent USB powered products which traditionally would be AC (lights, fans etc.), opting for those is another way to reduce the need for an outlet.
This really does seem like the perfect version sogen for a 12 volt fridge in the 30 liter range. That's said regarding the $199 price. At $250, not so much. But it does hit the nail on just about all important points. Especially the pass through charging in conjunction with (up to) 120 watt charging. At 60 watt charging, it's not bad per se, but not great. Honestly, if the base charging was at 100 watts for solar, this really would be perfect.
I just Liked this Video and Subscribed to your channel ! I bought an Anker 521 Power Station and hoping to locate a suitable adapter to charge it with a Solar Panel. I have seen a few reviews on Amzon that some folks are buying a common 8mm plug and have to cut or modify the barrel to get it to fit. I have a ZAMP folding Solar Panel with SAE connections. I understand that the Controller with most Solar Panels needs to be Bypassed to properly charge most Power Stations. I believe that Anker recommends using a 7.9mm plug also know as a "7909 DC" to charge their Power Stations with a Solar Panel. I am looking for a quality Plug and Play adapter / cable. Any comments on what specific make and model of an adapter to fit an Anker 521 to an SAE connection would be Great ! Thank You for taking the time to Help me and lots of other owners of an Anker Power Station :)
Lets hope the battery will last you paying them off. # 1 difference between Jackery and others is the battery most others uses LP4 Jackery does not yet charges top $ for there product. (mostly name/brnading)
u have not shown the power on the back , and did not test with solar ? i have one Anker powerhouse 2 and its great , tuns of ports ..please review again with complete detail.
Anker has a bigger one. Have you had a chance to review it yet? Newest version has lithium iron batteries. "Anker Portable Generator 512Wh, 535 Portable Power Station (PowerHouse 512Wh)"
The Anker 521 has similar specs to the GoLabs i200. Which is better? For $30 less at the moment on Amazon, the GoLabs has more outputs, one year less warranty, and slower charging. Otherwise, specs are similar. Either should charge a 12v fridge.

nice. but im still paying for these 2 jackery kits i bought. i do appreciate the reviews.
Lets hope the battery will last you paying them off. # 1 difference between Jackery and others is the battery most others uses LP4 Jackery does not yet charges top $ for there product. (mostly name/brnading)
Thank you for the video.
I like it very nice price is good would like to get them in South Africa

Can you use a car electric kettle with this? Im a girl and don’t know in watts, just tell me please if any kettle will work 😊
Good info as usual. How about Anker Watt?
The Anker 521 has similar specs to the GoLabs i200. Which is better? For $30 less at the moment on Amazon, the GoLabs has more outputs, one year less warranty, and slower charging. Otherwise, specs are similar. Either should charge a 12v fridge.
