The verdict

The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 holds 0 Wh more — 0% more capacity, which on a fridge-freezer is the difference between 14 h 2 min and 14 h 2 min.

The UGREEN PowerRoam 1200 is 0.4 kg lighter, which matters if you carry it rather than wheel it.

Only one of the two has an indicative price recorded, so value is not comparable here.

Both use LFP cells, so long-term durability is a wash.

Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 refills faster from the mains — 49 min against 1 h 30 min.

Short answer. Buy the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 if you want the hours and can live with 12 kg; buy the UGREEN PowerRoam 1200 if portability matters more than capacity. Neither is a bad buy — they are aimed at different jobs.
