Quick answers

Is the Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus better than the Bluetti Elite 300?: Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus leads by 21 points overall.
Which has more usable capacity, the Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus or Bluetti Elite 300?: The Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus, by 702 Wh — 3,264 Wh versus 2,562 Wh, a 27% advantage. At a 60 W load that is roughly 11.7 extra hours before the battery is empty. Both figures are estimated AC-delivered energy, not the nameplate battery rating — the watt-hours that actually reach your devices, which is always less than the number on the box.
Which has more AC output, the Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus or Bluetti Elite 300?: The Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus: 6,000 W versus 2,400 W continuous. That gap matters only if a load sits between the two numbers — below 2,400 W both run it, above 6,000 W neither does. Only the Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus publishes a sourced surge figure (9,000 W); the Bluetti Elite 300 has no sourced surge figure, so startup capability is only half-answered here — check the missing side before planning around a motor or compressor load.
How does runtime compare between the Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus and Bluetti Elite 300?: On the same sourced load — a refrigerator (full-size) — the Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus runs longer: 51.8 hours against 40.7. These are planning estimates from each model's AC-delivered capacity, not stopwatch tests; real duty cycle and temperature move them.
Which is lighter, the Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus or Bluetti Elite 300?: The Bluetti Elite 300, by 35.7 kg (26.3 kg versus 62 kg). Both weights are manufacturer figures for the bare unit; cables and a solar panel add to whatever you actually carry.
Which model should I buy for my use case?: On the sub-scores that describe each use case: the Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus for home backup; the Bluetti Elite 300 for camping & rv. They split, so the honest answer depends on which of those you are actually buying for.
