What's good
- Over 1 kWh of LiFePO4 with 1,800 W continuous output in one unit
- 5-year warranty
- Four AC outlets — more than most of the class
What's not
- 35 lb is noticeably heavier than the Jackery and Anker equivalents
- 3,500-cycle rating trails its own stablemate's 6,000
Our verdict
Compare it on price per watt-hour at the moment you buy — prices in this class move often. When it works out cheaper per Wh than the Jackery, it's the value answer; when it doesn't, the Jackery's lighter weight and documentation win.
