This Black Friday guide groups confirmed-link models by need. Start with the spec filter, then use your own device labels in the calculator.

By BlackoutSmart Team · Updated 8 November 2026. Specifications are copied from the cited live product pages; nothing here is hands-on tested.

EcoFlow’s 3,600 W figure is surge, separate from X-Boost; Jackery’s 3,000 W figure is its listed surge. Neither figure is a runtime test. Models are selected using the linked example-fridge filter, not ordered by performance. The C1000 has no separately listed Anker surge rating; SurgePad is not treated as surge. EcoFlow cited specs · Jackery cited specs · Anker cited specs.

Jackery’s weight is about 10.6 kg (about 23.4 lb, converted on our product page). Its 120 V ~ 60 Hz output and 3 AC outlets are per the Amazon US listing, pending a Jackery US manual; other figures follow the cited Jackery page.

The source answer explains the 56.1 W × 8-hour example, the 90% depth-of-discharge and 85% inverter-efficiency planning assumptions behind 587 Wh, and the cited 104 W AirSense 10 peak. These are planning figures, not a medical recommendation or a guarantee for your machine or therapy settings. Models meet the linked example filter; their order does not express a performance preference.

Apartment: router, phone and lights

Spec filter: An AC outlet, at least 455 Wh capacity and 27 W continuous AC output. Filter basis.

Sized for a router, phone and lights.

Source notes

The sizing answer shows the math: 12 W for a router, 10 W for phone charging and 5 W for a light; 348 Wh daily energy divided by the calculator’s 0.765 planning factor is about 455 Wh. The 455 Wh / 27 W filter is sized for those small loads, not a whole apartment or fridge. Models meet this filter; their order does not express a performance preference. The apartment kit guide treats a station as optional and says to match appliance loads.
