At this point, this is just 'regular' price.

Did anyone else who purchased a unit from the previous sale receive one that might appear to be used? One I just got yesterday had a few noticeable scratches on the screen and the box it came with seemed to have been "sealed" with packing tape.

Yup, Golab consistently discount down to 200. Still, this is better than competitors specs per specs

It still bothers me how loose my AC ports are. Wiggles around but at least it doesn't fall out of the port. Also returned one orange unit and ordered a black one with the same issue.

I bought this GOLABs Power Station from Amazon in January 2021. As of today, the LED screen has dimmed to the point of not being able to read it. You need the LED screen to be able to read what is going on with the unit. I am very disappointed. The unit has a one year warranty and I have written the company. Now I wait and see if they will be good to their warranty. Otherwise, I love the little unit for powering phones, laptops. It could not power my portable ice maker. Peak wattage is 300 so continuous wattage is much less. They do not list what continuous wattage is for this unit.

in their description: "Continuous 300W AC outlet and it can reach 500W peak power to start more electrical devices"

In my book that came with it, it said 300 Peak with peak misspelled.

Would this work well as a UPS if I don't need network shutdown features?

No. This isn't an uninterruptible power supply.

How does this compare to a standard deep cycle or lithium battery for a solar setup? From memory, I'm thinking 299 watthours is pretty good. Im assuming this can be connected to a solar setup though

Well deep cycle has bad, idk what the exact name for this is, but capacity degradation over use. Lithium can easily last 5-10x as many cycles, making it cheaper per watt hour expended.

And yeah you could get the rockpals 100w solar panel and it should be plug and play. This has mppt and accepts 11-23v
