Its in use for the first time today when we lost the mains at 1pm Its now 5:30pm and its running the wifi router the fridge freezer (a large American style one), its boiled the kettle three times, ran the air-fryer through a 15 minute cycle, ran LED light, fully charged two mobiles and it still says it has enough power in it for another 23 hours
Not cheap, but I got it on a deal / offer and its the best ‘gadget’ (for want if a phrase) I ever bought.
Nice one Anke
What an absolute bargain, black Friday, save me a fortune ease of use does exactly what it says using it for portable generator for DJ. Battery storage for electricity tariff for the house. Highly recommend
I was surprised how well it’s made. High quality product. No issues so far. Im very happy with this purchase.
Maybe they should include cable for standard solar panels in this price 😉
Fast track to this Anker 767, I’ll not cover the basic design / functionalities but just sumup the areas mattered to me esp compared to Delta Pro:
Background, I have both flexi panels (16 x 100w) on ground level and roof-installed panels (18x420w, with 2 dedicated for solar generators) that original idea was to go with Delta Pro expansion system to run the whole house but the noise issue put that off. Tesla battery is just over priced, not Lifepo4 type and not available anyways so back to use portable battery power banks to run the house as much as possible after sunset.
What I like about the Anker 767:
– Quietness! Felt like a lifesaver vs the jet engine noise of that Delta Pro that 767 operates almost silently; the fan quality and overall fan operating management has been excellent – this is the level all solar battery should aim at;
– Looked to be excellent build and high quality;
– All other goodies similar to those of Delta Pro;
– Slightly lighter main unit and with battery up to 4kwh capacity;
– Fast AC charging, claim to fully charge the 2kwh battery in just over 1.5hour;
– Customer service been excellent, answered my queries promptly and offered helpful guidances; unit comes with 5-year warranty & battery should last 10yrs despite daily full charge/discharge.
Dislike of the 767:
– No remote access capability as Bluetooth only (meaning you can’t monitor the unit while out), not sure if this was to do with past mishaps Anker faced on storing user data?
– Solar input is not very high only 1000w and 30-60v (and almost certain needing 5 of their very expensive foldable 200w panels); My roof panels with open circuit up to 59.41v that on sunny highest midday would trip the MPPT as guess voltage briefly exceed 60v (other times worked fine);
– AC output is only 2400w not able to power hungry appliances more than 1 at a time (a bit nitpicking?)
– Expandable solution max out at 4kwh; unlike others can go way beyond;
– First unit received was defective although replacement one worked fine past 2weeks (dented the confidence in the product somewhat)
I will provide further update as when relevant. For anyone needing a small (4kwh) solar battery at home, this will be my no.1 recommendation. Or, pair this with other noisy systems to get the best of both worlds.
Quick review on the Anker 767 with expansion battery total 4kwh capacity, as usual, will update should anything worthwhile come up:
After getting tired of Delta Pro’s annoying jet engine like fan noises, found Anker’s 767 powerhouse as the new king in town! I had it hooked up to 2x 420w roof panels (DC direct input via MC4 to stock xt60 port, cable not included).
Like:
– Quietness!! !! Almost silent operations, house is finally quiet (live in a quiet place with no traffic/other noise)
– Excellent build quality and felt sturdy
– Solar battery unto 4kwh
– 5-year product warranty with 10yrs life of Lifepo4 battery chemistry with daily use
– 2400w AC can power most household appliances
– Good customer support, prompt response
Dislike:
– First unit received was faulty (dented confidence somewhat although quickly swapped with another new unit been fully working over 2weeks now)
– No internet connectivity only bluetooth cannot operate/monitor (Ecoflow has wifi can monitor) remotely
– AC output still only 2400w, will struggle to power multiple large items same time
– Solar input only 1000w & up to 60v (to get full 1000w would almost certain need using Anker foldable 200w panels x5 which are extraordinarily over priced)
– The xt60 5-in-1 parallel adapter is not isolated and left open poses a shock risk if accidentally touched un-occupied exposed pins (live)
– Battery capacity only expandable to 4kwh unlike other offerings can be much more

The generator’s outer shell is made of durable plastic with a matte finish that resists scratches and fingerprints. It also features a comfortable carry handle that makes it easy to transport the generator from one location to another.
One of the most impressive things about the Anker PowerHouse 767 is its LiFePO4 battery technology, which has a much longer lifespan compared to other battery types.

Another notable feature of the Anker PowerHouse 767 is its safety features. The generator has a built-in surge protector that prevents damage to your devices in the event of a power surge. It also has an overheating protection system that shuts down the generator if it gets too hot, which prevents damage to the batteries.
Ease of Use
The Anker PowerHouse 767 is very easy to use, even for those who are not tech-savvy. The generator comes with a user manual that provides clear instructions on how to operate and maintain the device.

Easy to use.
Sturdy.
Wheels and handle work well.
Display – input and output values on the display plus remaining timer left at that consumption.
Have tested separately tumble drier (300w-600w depending on cycle), microwave, toaster, TV cabinet with XBox, sound bar and even the dual zone air fryer. This last one pulled 2460w and panicked slightly as thought max output was 2300w, but it seemed to cope happily (fans were running flat out though). Didn’t leave it running for long at that output. Won’t be using it for that again, but was a good test.
Charging is fast. UPS works fine and didn’t trip the PC which just carried on when pulled the plug.
App is OK so far, basic, but does the job.
Have not tried solar input yet or tested the car sockets.
Dislikes
———
The 3 UK power plug sockets seem a bit flimsy – the plug stays securely in the right hand one, the middle one is a little bit sticky, but the left one the plug pops back out 2-3mm after insertion and doesn’t feel secure.
Power input – cable sticks out WAY too far and has a flimsy trap door to cover the sockets. This makes it much larger than needs to be when plugged in and agree with another reviewer should have an L-Shaped plug with perhaps a recessed set of sockets. Thing is the little plasticky trap door will easily get broken at some point. The covers on the front are made of rubber and should have the same on the back so won’t get broken.
When running flat out (see air fryer) the fans are very loud (louder than the air fryer), but as you would probably expect when pulling that amount.
Heavy, but not unmanageable and given the capacity to be expected.
Don’t seem to be able to set the display to be permanently on (have various options for the timeout, but not a disable option). Know this is a power saving thing, but when testing various appliances would like the option.
Overall
———
It is still expensive and and ROI will take years and years, but flexibility to be able to use when travelling and ability to use instead of a petrol generator to work with when need to is great.
Having said all the above am still glad purchased with the 400 early bird discount code, but needs to be at this price ongoing as full price seems too expensive.
Only been using a week so cannot comment on longevity yet.
After pricing up solar and battery store payback was 8 years at current rates, and I didn’t want to commit so much money when there were too many variables around that payback, plus what happens if I move.
So looking at this if I used 3kwh (which I am) per day running office and game consoles, payback for me was 9 years (paid 3.1k) so a little longer but then if I move home it can all come with me and I can also stick it in the car for camping trips etc. Added plus I have it now, and not in 6 months to a years time so will be okay with blackouts if they come this winter – so instant office DR as such.
I am currently running with extensions to other rooms in trials of how far I can push it, but if it looks like it is at the moment capable of running the upstairs electric ring, so Ill be looking at options to hard wire as such as I know others do offer that – I might also buy two solar panels next year and DIY fit them to charge it as that would bring payback around 7.5 years
Things that impressed me
Fan noise for me is low – nothing like others Ive seen though I have yet to push it past 1000w
I was initially on the fence about how it draws power from 760 first then 767 when that’s depleted, as I assumed wrongly it would draw from both – still 760 is cheaper to replace,
It looks and feels very sturdy and well made
Its compact for what it is but there is one side that breaks that comment (below)
Minor things I don’t like
Lightbar is a bit pointless but then saying that the other buttons should have option to be illuminated for the limited power that would draw
App Im not convinced by at the moment – you have to connect daily from what I can see and apart from maybe way to upgrade firmware, to me if your able to get to the unit to enable it you likely near it to click the display button to see the same info. There are a few options in the App that some might tweak but then forget about and you can also see battery health but Im hoping that doesn’t show much for a few years yet.
Whilst fan noise is low it does seems to come on same length of time for draw of 2w or 400w which others I have had don’t – might be firmware fix for that but again it is low noise.
Major issue for me which they Im hoping will solve is the connector cable – Why did they provide a connector that sticks out more than the unit itself, when they could of just supplied a L shaped connector to join them – unit is approx 25cms wide – this loop cable adds extra 30cm to that width and its not flexible so your stuck with it sticking out making the unit 55cm wide – a L shaped would be around 7cm so bad design especially as they try and sell it as a good solution for camper vans – who wants to waste 20cm+ of space for a cable!!!
Again this is fixable as they can and I hope they are reading this create a L shaped cable.
This powerhouse is a beast with 2048Wh and max 2300W output, enough to power most of the electrical appliances in your home and even an EV for emergancy use.
Anker did a great job on the packaging (box inside a box), so when you receive your 767, even the whole package weighted at 35kg, you get a perfect box without any damage. It makes the whole product presentation way better than other rival company.
Everything I didn’t like with the 757 has been addressed with higher specification and features in the 767 that now rival those of the competitors.
I only gave the 757 a 3* review due to some minor shortfalls that let it down but it looks like Anker really did save the best til last.
So far the 767 has been far better than I thought it would be.
It’s price point places the 767 right up there with the Bluetti and EcoFlow devices of similar capacity and features but already I can see the Anker quality, style and innovation are going to make this a great product. Well done Anker!
I’m not looking for a complete Off Grid solution, just something to keep things going in the workshop when it counts and provides plenty of options for both inputs and outputs.
With 4096 kWH the 767 and additional 760 GanPrime battery looks set to keep my needs going for at least 48hrs even before I add Solar Charging.
The increased Solar Capacity of the 767 means I will need to add a few more panels to the array now but a much improved input capacity and Bluetooth monitoring and control this is a great bit of kit!
I’ve only had it for 12 hrs and I’m already happy to rate it 5*
I stand by my previous review of the 757, it is cheaper and lacks the bells and whistles but does a job which will now be in the Van to keep the guys tools charged.
The 767 had to show significant improvements for the not so insignificant difference in price and that I can say it does!
I’ve already loaded it up with all the appliances I could find including the Microwave, Airfryer, Kettle, Fidge and Full size Freezer (not all at the same time) but all worked without issue.
It will take a few weeks to test it out with all the power tools in the workshop but I’ve every confidence in the 767 so far.
You’ll have to check back for an update on the Solar as the Sun is so low here and it’s cloudy so it’ll be spring before I can really see how that works out!
