As much as I don't favor the all in one solar "generators" such as bluetti and eco-flow, lots of people have bought them. The issue is that although they are cool looking and nicely packaged, they don't offer true bang for your buck. Frankly they are 100% convienent but over priced for their output. They have vendor lock in for batteries. The newer models do offer split phase now so you can use them to run your furnace fans in the winter for example. The best piece of equipment is the one you already own... so if you have one of these units, run what ya got. Some creative youtubers have discovered you can use any LFP 48v battery with the newer models so that helps with breaking thru vendor lock in. It also allows you a path forward if you decide to get a "real" inverter system later on because you can continue to use the LFP server rack batteries moving forward. If you don't have one of these units, skip over them and get real inverters like XP6000, XP12000, or victron gear. Better in the long run.
