Ease of use, veteran discount, personalized customer service
Personal touch via email. Easy to use veteran discount. Some sites offer a veteran discount but you have to dig for it and/or it's hard to use. Price matching made quick and easy. Since I've had such a positive experience why should I chance another store when you all will price match lowest price?
Thank you, Terry, for your detailed review. We're glad to hear that our personal email service, easy-to-use veteran discount, and quick price matching have made a positive impact on your experience. Your loyalty and trust mean a great deal to us, and we're honored to be your go-to store. We'll continue to work hard to provide you with the best value and service possible.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that your Anker SOLIX BP1000X Expansion Battery arrived on time and that you had a great experience with our customer service. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we're here if you need any further assistance.
I bought my dual fuel 3000 to basically charge my other EcoFlow solar generators when they run low. Solar is very slow so this is a good solution. It was a great price from outbound power performed. Well I prefer to use the propane as it’s much cleaner, also, it does not use the carburetor so the less trouble with the carburetor to me the better. it’s a really good product very well built very easy to use and got a great price.
Hi Jerry,
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback about your dual fuel 3000. We're pleased to hear that it's a great solution for charging your EcoFlow solar generators when solar alone isn’t enough. It’s great that you appreciate the propane option, especially since it’s cleaner and avoids the complications of a carburetor. We're glad you found a good price with Outbound Power and that the product is working well for you.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.
I ordered the F2600 and it has been great so far. I ordered the BP2600 as well and had a few issues but Anker customer support has been really excellent with responding to my questions. I will continue to monitor for issues but for my home backup situation I feel much more confident for emergency scenarios. Also, Outbound Power was absolutely excellent and I highly recommend you make your power station purchases there.
Hi there,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the F2600 and BP2600. We're glad to hear that the F2600 has been working great and that our service has met your expectations. It's good to know that Anker's customer support has been responsive in addressing the BP2600 issues—you deserve a seamless experience, especially when it comes to your home backup needs.
We appreciate your trust in Outbound Power and your recommendation. If you encounter any further issues or have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help ensure you're always prepared for emergency scenarios.
Love mine. The feature that attracted me most was the water resistance. I mostly use this dry camping with my camper. I have other power staions with a ttr 30 plug, which is important to me, and take great pains to keep them sheltered and dry but worry about the unforseen. Stuff (rain) happens! I'm less worried about this unit. I've seen YouTube reviews of people spraying these with water and leaving them in the rain without mishap. I don't plan to do that but glad to know should it happen, it should be fine.
It runs all my camper AC appliances just fine, microwave,
Keurig, etc. I've even run my camper's 13,500 btu ac unit to see if it would. I don't plan to use it for that because it probably wouldn't go more than an hour. Just nice to know I could. I've tested it on my home refrigerator and upright freezer without problem. I figure about 16-24 hours on the fridge and maybe a couple of days on the freezer with a power outage (without expansion battery) but haven't tested it to that extreme yet. Probably some YouTube videos out there that test that more thoroughly.
The video reviews I've seen give battery capacity an efficency around 85% which is considered good. I do have the expansion battery but haven't really tried it too much but figure it will significantly increase my runtimes. I plan to add more expansion batteries over time.
Seems to charge well on solar but there are voltage limitations. I'm waiting for Bluetti to release their PV voltage regulator which as I understand it allows you hook up an array of solar panels and it will maximize the input. AC charging is adjustable with 3 modes and can charge it up pretty quickly if you want.
It's heavy but seems on par with other brands of the same capacity.
My experience with Outbound power has been exemplary. They answer my emails quickly. Ship quickly and offer a hassle free veteran discount through GovX. They've priced matched for me twice. I've made 4 purchases from them far and have consistently gotten excellent customer service. These things are expensive and it's good to know you're dealing with someone who's going to stand behind the sale. Ymmv
It suites my needs well

Thank you for your continued trust in Outbound Power.
Bought Bluetti 180P thru Outbound Power to use for running a CPAP machine and dry camping in RV. Does exactly what I needed it for, turn off hot plate humidifier and heated hose on CPAP to conserve power and it will run my Res Med Air Sense 11 for 7 nights, also use to Bluetti to charge phones and computers. Would not use for resistive heating, uses too much power. Thank you Outbound Power for this wonderful fairly priced device ship right to my door as stated (Port Angeles, Wa. In 5 days)

Outbound Power filled an order that the manufacturer messed up. I had to cancel thenorder with the manufacturer and look elsewhere. I needed this product badly, and Outbound Power came through where the manufacturer themselves couldn't. Great job!

Lightning fast shipping, I was surprised. Be advised, this beast is very heavy. I was a bit surprised at just how beefy this thing is. Came with 82% charge, I’m filling her up now. So far so good.
