The compact size of this portable generatormakes it the best companion wherever you go. The 45W USB-C port will take only two hours to charge a 2020 MacBook Air fully.

Even small appliances like fans and lanterns can be operated with the help of this generator.

The Anker Powerhouse II 400 is an excellent device that can take care of a lot of needs. Most small electronics and even some small appliances will be powered just fine with this unit. However, there are cases where a 300W output isn't going to cut it, and for the price, it could use a few more outlets.

With regard to power output and depending on the draw needed, a mini generator may last up all day long. The best of the bunch can run personal medical equipment or an LED television for many hours. Recharging one of these units will take anywhere from 12 to 24 hours.In terms of outputs, there are three USB-A outputs (36W max) and the USB-C port can also be used as a 60W output: that’s the same power as a MacBook Pro’s supplied adaptor. Since I first reviewed the Anker Powerhouse II 400, I have found myself utilizing it for a wide number of applications. When you have one of the best high-capacity power banks on the market, that has so much utility to offer, you tend to rethink electrical availability in various situations.

Yes, you can power 8 devices simultaneously with this generator. With its 388Wh capacity, this unit can provide multiple charges to any of your mobile devices. With this generator, you can recharge your camera more than 20 times, an iPad Air with 30Wh capacity 11 times, a MacBook Air 2020 with 60Wh capacity 5 times, and an iPhone 11 with a 3110mAh battery 23 times.

The good thing about the generator is that it is powered by an electric vehicle battery, which is known for its stability compared to a traditional battery. Further, it has an upgraded battery management system with an improved temperature control feature. The generator uses premium material so that you can expect efficient heat dissipation from this power station.

Along with this ultra-portable powerful AC charger, you will get a 45W USB-C wall charger, a lanyard, a travel pouch, a USB-A to C cable, and a USB-C to C cable. At this price, the Anker Powerhouse II 400 could use more USB-C ports — and an extra AC outlet while we're at it.

Charge an iPhone 11 (3,110mAh) 23 times, a MacBook Air 2020 (60Wh) 5 times, an iPad Pro (30Wh) 20 times, or a camera more than 20 times.

Trending in Power Banks

While there is a lot to like with the Anker Powerhouse II 400, there are still a few downsides. There is only a single USB-C and AC outlet on the Powerhouse. As more and more devices move to USB-C as the charging method, it would be nice to have additional ports for that medium since higher wattage devices use USB-C to C cables rather than USB-A to C.

Further, the Ankergenerator offers a 778-watt-hour capacity, which is better than the Bluetti generator with a watt-hour capacity of 716Wh. Further, the Ankergenerator comes as a solar panel-ready generator. It comes with an Anderson input port to make solar panel charging easier.Features a 60W USB-C port equipped with our exclusive PowerIQ 3.0 technology to charge mobile devices at high speed. Charge a MacBook Air 2020 to 50% in just over 40 minutes, or charge an iPhone 11 to 50% in only 30 minutes. The mini generator can be recharged in several different ways including straight from a wall outlet, 12V DC car outlet, or via solar panel. With two adapters and using the fast recharging mode, the AC200P can be fully charged in less than four hours. That sort of performance doesn’t come cheap but for my money, it’s well worth it. Both power stations have in-built LED lights. But, the light in the Ankergenerator is special, with three flashlights and three ambient modes. The former has low, high, and SOS modes, while the latter has low, medium, and high modes. Please note that the AC outlet of PowerHouse II 400 only supports devices with a rating less than 300W. The reason that the Anker PowerHouse II 400 is so heavy is because it has an absolutely huge battery inside it: 388.8Wh to be exact.
