6.1 out of 10

It stores 3,168 Wh, in the upper half of the large tier, so it scores 8 on capacity.

Its inverter is rated 3,200 W continuous with a 6,000 W surge at 120 V only, so it scores 8 on power output.

ALLPOWERS publishes no wall-only charge time for the US model and caps AC input at 1,500 W, so a full wall charge takes at least about 2.1 hours, while solar input reaches 2,000 W, so it scores 6 on recharging.

ALLPOWERS rates the cells for over 3,500 cycles but publishes no end point for the R3500, so it scores 4 on battery life.

Better on battery lifeBLUETTI Elite 200 V2BLUETTI rates the cells for 6,000 cycles to 80 percent capacity. $899Scores 10.0

It switches to battery within 15 ms and its US page takes one B3000 expansion battery, but ALLPOWERS sells no transfer switch for it, so it scores 6 on backup readiness.

ALLPOWERS publishes no safety certificate for it and no certifier directory lists it by model, so it scores 2 on verification.

Better on verificationEcoFlow DELTA ProSGS lists it to UL 2743. $1,899Scores 8.0

ALLPOWERS gives it 24 months and extends that to five years when the buyer registers it on ALLPOWERS' own site, so it scores 8 on warranty and support.

3,200 W at 120 V, and an expansion battery out of stock

The R3500 is ALLPOWERS' 3,168 Wh LiFePO4 station, a 93 lb hand-carried unit with four 120 V outlets, app control and an EV charging-station input.

Verdict

It suits a buyer who wants about 3 kWh and 3,200 W at 120 V for outages or an RV, who will keep UPS loads under 1,500 W and can wait for the B3000 to return.

Social score

4.5 out of 10
RedditBrand-level4.0 out of 10

No owner thread in an independent subreddit names the R3500, so this reads the brand. In r/SolarDIY an R2500 owner said ALLPOWERS told him the B3000 expansion battery connects only to the R3500 in the US (2024); in r/GoRVing an owner's R1500 clicked above 30 W of AC load and its app would not connect over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and a commenter said no one at ALLPOWERS answered email or phone (2024).

GoogleProduct-line5.0 out of 10

No credible written test of the US R3500 was found, so this reads the R4000 sold beside it. Vantour, a French van-life site that passes on an ALLPOWERS discount code and links to ALLPOWERS' store, put a full wall charge of the R4000 at about 4 hours and 400 W solar at about 8 hours, found the fans quiet under heavy load, and noted app connection problems some owners report (July 2024).

  • Ranked among the better stations one channel had tested, per one channel

Eric Hernandez, which passes on an ALLPOWERS promo code in its R4000 review, ranked the R3500 among the better stations it had tested (April 2024, about 13,000 views). Tolbers, which earns through Amazon affiliate links, paired it with ALLPOWERS' 400 W SP037 panel and repeated ALLPOWERS' claim of expansion to 101 kWh with 15 B3000 batteries, a figure no ALLPOWERS US page carries (March 2024, about 3,900 views).

AmazonProduct-line4.0 out of 10

No rated R3500 listing appears in ALLPOWERS' own Amazon US store, so this reads the R4000's: the station listing (B0BRCLJ79Q) holds 3.2 from 15 ratings; its star split sits behind sign-in.

User reviewsNot scored

The retailer pool is blank: Walmart is ALLPOWERS' only US retailer found, ALLPOWERS sells there as its own marketplace seller, and Walmart flags most of its station reviews as incentivized, so no ALLPOWERS station file read holds ten native unflagged written reviews (the shared S2000 and S2000 Pro file reads 4.3 from 30 ratings, with nine of its first ten written reviews flagged).

Trustpilot

Trustpilot rates iallpowers.com 2.1 from 30 reviews, 20 percent five-star and 67 percent one-star, on a claimed profile that has not replied to negative reviews.

Track record

The BBB rates Allpowers of Walnut, California, F with 7 complaints in three years and no accreditation, and no CPSC recall names an ALLPOWERS product.

ALLPOWERS is the brand of Guangzhou Allpowers Energy Technology Co., Ltd., whose group dates the brand to 2010, and ALLPOWERS INC of Diamond Bar, California, supports its US store.

It sells direct from iallpowers.com, through its own ALLPOWERS store on Amazon US, and through listings on Walmart.com.

The ALLPOWERS R3500 is a 3,168 Wh LiFePO4 station rated 3,200 W continuous and 6,000 W surge at 100 to 120 V only, from four pure sine wave AC outlets, with two USB-C ports sharing 200 W, USB-A ports and a 12 V 10 A car, DC5525 and Anderson output. Its US spec table caps AC input at 1,500 W at 120 V and solar input at 2,000 W through XT60, and it also charges from an EV charging station; ALLPOWERS publishes no wall-only charge time for the US model, only 2,000 W of solar in 2.5 hours and a combined AC and solar charge in 1 hour. ALLPOWERS rates the cells for over 3,500 cycles and gives no end point for the R3500. It switches to battery within 15 ms, but in UPS mode the connected load must stay under 1,500 W, and its US page takes one B3000 expansion battery for 6,336 Wh in total; the B3000 is sold out on ALLPOWERS' US store and ALLPOWERS sells no transfer switch for it. It has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth app control and weighs 93 lb by ALLPOWERS' UK page, 20.9 x 14.2 x 13.6 in, carried by hand. ALLPOWERS' warranty policy gives 24 months from purchase and extends it to five years when the station is registered on ALLPOWERS' own site. ALLPOWERS' own pages disagree on its charging and expansion: the US feature list claims 4,000 W of combined input where the US spec table gives 1,500 W AC and 2,000 W solar, the US table gives a 12 to 150 V solar window where ALLPOWERS' UK page gives 12 to 60 V and 1,300 W, and the US page takes one B3000 where the UK page takes one to three; the only US manual is the June 2023 edition.
