After launching the Solix F3800 in 2024, Anker is back this year with the enhanced Solix F3800 Plus. Built with enough power to run all the electronics and appliances in your entire home, it looks like the ideal company to have around during emergencies and outages.

Featuring a 6,000-watt AC output to run large appliances such as washers, dryers, and air conditioners, it’ll keep your home running as intended even when the grid is unavailable. The unit offers a capacity of 3,840 watt-hours, though it can be expanded by attaching up to 12 optional battery packs for a staggering maximum capacity of 53,760 watt-hours. So no matter how much energy you need, you can scale up your power station to handle all sorts of equipment.

Better yet, it can be paired with the existing Anker Solix Home Power Panel to function as a whole-house backup system, switching over to your backup power source in as little as 30 milliseconds.

The F3800 Plus has dual 165V solar inputs that support up to eight 400-watt solar panels. When this configuration is used on an optimal sunny day, it can recharge in as little as 1.5 hours. Best of all, it can continue to power your devices while recharging, ensuring there’s no lag between recharging its own battery and sending power to your appliances.

If solar isn’t an option, you can power it with any 240-volt gas generator via the Generator Input Adapter (which is sold separately).

Here’s a closer look at some of its best specifications:

  • 3,840 watt-hour capacity
  • Three USB-C ports
  • Two USB-A ports
  • One car cigarette lighter port
  • Multiple AC outlets
  • Generator: Up to 6,000 watts
  • AC Input: 1,800 watts
  • Solar Input: Up to 3,200 watts

The Anker Solix F3800 Plus Portable Power Station launches on March 12. You can preorder it today for $3,199 — as a bonus, you’ll get a free 400-watt solar panel (value of $899) along with a protective cover ($99).

Lutron just made it easier to control your smart home without touching your phone
Smart home voice control usually means buying yet another speaker or hub. Lutron and Sonos found a simpler fix: use the speaker you probably already own.
Electronics, Speaker, Text

If you’ve lost count of how many remotes and apps you juggle between just to dim a light or skip a song, I have something for you. Lutron just gave its Caseta smart home lineup a new shortcut, letting you control lights, shades, and Sonos playback with your voice alone.

For anyone who is catching up, Caseta is Lutron's do-it-yourself smart lighting system. It’s built around a small hub that basically talks to switches, dimmers, and plugs over a radio signal (instead of Wi-Fi), making it easier to manage the entire setup. While the company has worked alongside Sonos for a while, voice control was the one piece still missing from that partnership. That changes now.

The best smart home gym equipment
Find the connected fitness equipment that's worth your money.
Woman boxing with FightCamp.

The average workout doesn't begin with your first rep anymore. It begins with the data you've already collected. Smartwatches track your sleep and heart rate, smart rings measure recovery, and some fitness enthusiasts even use continuous glucose monitors to better understand how their bodies respond to training and nutrition. Smart home gym equipment builds on that foundation, combining connected hardware with AI-powered coaching, adaptive resistance, and long-term progress tracking to turn health insights into smarter workouts.

Smart fitness has also grown well beyond streaming workout classes. The latest machines can automatically adjust resistance as you get stronger, analyze your performance over time, and sync with the health devices you already use. Some even use AI to recommend workouts based on your goals and training history, making every session feel more personalized. If you're still deciding whether investing in connected fitness makes sense for your lifestyle, check out our guide on whether a smart home gym is worth it.

An easy recommendation for anyone who wants a cordless vacuum that is genuinely easy to live with.
Tineco Pure One Station 5 Pro vacuum cleaner

With two young children and two dogs, my floors put vacuums through a real-world stress test every day. Between constant crumbs, pet hair, tracked-in dirt, and everything in between, there’s always something waiting to be cleaned. The Tineco Pure ONE Station 5 Pro solved those those pain points for me pretty well. It can run for over an hour and a half on a single charge, while its base station dustbin capacity outpaces many standard upright vacuums that I've tested over the years.
