At a Glance

This comparison pairs a compact, ultralight unit against a mid-size powerhouse, helping buyers decide between grab-and-go portability and broader device coverage. The Bluetti EB3A delivers 600W of running power from a 268.8 Wh LFP battery and weighs just 10.1 lbs, making it easy to toss in a car or carry to a campsite.

The VTOMAN Jump 1500X steps up to 1500W running and 828 Wh of capacity with 3000W surge, powering 33 of 53 tested devices compared to the EB3A's 21. It also supports battery expansion and built-in UPS functionality for home backup.

Both units accept up to 200W of solar input, but the Jump 1500X's larger battery takes roughly 8.3 hours to fill via solar versus 2.4 hours for the EB3A. That extra capability comes at a cost in weight: 36.2 lbs versus 10.1 lbs.
