Anker showed off several products at CES 2024, but few were as compelling as the Solix F3800 Portable Power Station. With a staggering 6,000W output (and the option to chain two together for 12,000W), it’s shaping up to be a portable power station that can tackle every task around your home, garage, or campsite.

The Solix F3800 is designed as an all-encompassing solution for portable power. Its output allows it to power RVs, directly charge EVs, and run home appliances like your microwave and refrigerator. Along with its 6,000W output, it benefits from up to a 53.8kwh capacity; in other words, it should have more than enough juice to run your gadgets before it needs to recharge itself.

The station is quite bulky, though its design includes a handle and wheels to improve mobility. This lets you easily wheel it around your home and connect it to other devices as needed.

Anker says the F3800 will last 10 years and up to 3,000 cycles, making it a reliable companion for alternative power. That reliability also makes it great for emergencies, allowing it to keep your home running during power outages.

If you connect it to the Anker Solix Home Power Panel, the F3800 supports home solar power cycling and AC coupling — making it even more enticing. It’s especially appealing to folks trying to build a home with a robust fail-safe system, as the two products are a great pairing for long-term energy during extended grid outages.

The Anker Solix F3800 Portable Power Station will be available on January 9 for $3,999. Before launch, the device generated nearly $6 million in funding via Kickstarter.

Roborock shows off highly automated robot vacuums at CES 2024

Roborock is responsible for many of the best robot vacuums, and this year is shaping up to be another big one for the company. A whole fleet of robot vacuums were on display at CES 2024, including the highly automated S8 MaxV Ultra and S8 Max Ultra -- both of which can connect to your home drainage system to automatically empty and refill their water reservoirs.

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is the most luxurious of the bunch, offering a self-maintained cleaning system that will empty water tanks, refill water tanks, dispense detergent, wash its mop with hot water, and dry its mop with warm air. All this is possible due to its newfound ability to connect to your home's built-in drain lines, removing the need for you to fuss around with dirty water tanks or refill water reservoirs (which is arguably the worst part of owning a robot vacuum).

It's fully programmable, supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and includes a C-wire (making it compatible with most homes). It also boasts a sleek, all-white exterior and Home Depot is looking to offer the product at an "affordable price point."
