Anker has knocked $599 off the SOLIX C2000 Gen 2, bringing the 2,048Wh power station down to $899.99 from $1,499. It's one of a batch of early Prime Big Deal Days discounts on Amazon that also cover Eufy's solar cameras, doorbells and outdoor lights, and you don't need Prime for any of the prices below. Most of them end on Sunday, October 5, the day before the main event begins.
This is also the first Prime Day since Anker announced it's folding Eufy, Soundcore and SOLIX into the Anker name. The products still carry their old labels for now, but expect the branding to get tidier over the next year.
Anker SOLIX power stations
With hurricane season still running and winter outages on the way, this is the part of the sale I'd look at first. The C2000 Gen 2 is the standout, and Anker's figures explain why. On standby it draws 9W, which Anker says is enough to keep a dual-door fridge running for up to 32 hours.
- Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2: $899.99 (was $1,499, save $599) Amazon
- 2,048Wh capacity, 2,400W rated output with 4,000W peak
- Full recharge in 58 minutes from AC and solar
- Expandable to 4kWh with an add-on battery
- 800W alternator charging, which Anker rates at 100% in about three hours from your car
If 2kWh is more than you need, the C1000 Gen 2 halves the capacity and the price. It's $499.99 (was $599), or $739.99 (was $929.99) bundled with a 200W solar panel. Anker quotes 1,024Wh, 2,000W output and a full recharge in 49 minutes at 1,600W.
At the whole-home end, the F3800 is $1,979.99 (was $2,199.99) and the F3800 Plus is $2,399.99 (was $2,699.99). Both start at 3.84kWh and support 120V and 240V, so they can run a dryer, and the F3800 can charge an EV straight from its NEMA 14-50 port. We covered more of the range during Anker's preparedness month push in September.
Eufy cameras and doorbells
The SoloCam S340 is the pick of the security deals. It pairs a wide lens with a 3K zoom camera, pans 360 degrees, and runs on solar, so once it's mounted you can mostly forget about it. It's $139.99, down from $199.99.
- Eufy SoloCam S340: $139.99 (was $199.99) Amazon
- Eufy SoloCam E42 (4K, solar, facial recognition): $129.99 (was $179.99) Amazon
- Eufy Video Doorbell E340: $119.99 (was $149.99) Amazon
- Video Doorbell E340 kit with chime: $149.99 (was $219.99) Amazon
- Video Doorbell E340 kit with spare battery: $139.99 (was $199.99) Amazon
- Eufy Floodlight Camera E30: $119.99 (was $149.99) Amazon
- Eufy Indoor/Outdoor Camera C31: $45.99 (was $59.99) Amazon
- Eufy Indoor/Outdoor Camera C31 two-pack: $85.99 (was $109.99) Amazon
The E340 doorbell is the one to pick if you get a lot of deliveries. A second camera points straight down at the doorstep, so you can see the parcel as well as the courier. There's 8GB of storage built in, and like everything else here, there's no subscription.
Eufy Permanent Outdoor Lights E22
The E22 kit pairs a 100ft run with a 50ft run, giving 150ft and 90 triple-LED lights for $279.99, down from $489.99. That's the biggest percentage cut in this batch, and the timing fits: Halloween, then the holidays. Eufy says the lights can tie into its cameras and switch to a set lighting theme when someone's detected.
Should you wait for October 6?
For some of these, waiting a few days will save you more. According to Anker's Prime Big Deal Days pricing, the C2000 Gen 2 drops to $849.99, the C1000 Gen 2 to $469.99, and the SoloCam S340 to $119.99 on October 6 and 7. Those prices will be for Prime members only, which Amazon requires for the main event.
If you don't have Prime, or you want a power station in the garage before the weather turns, today's prices are the ones to grab. The C2000 Gen 2 at $899.99 is the deal of the bunch on paper, and it's worth checking these prices against what you'd pay on October 6 before you commit.
