The Bluetti EB3A for $209 was a better deal given that it was similar in capacity but has more features.

I second this. I got the EB3A on the recent $209 deal. It's going for $239 right now direct from Bluetti [bluettipower.com].

EB3A vs Anker
600W output vs 200W
built in AC charger (uses generic PC power cord) vs wall wart
1 hour vs 4.1 hours recharge time

Yeah, second this too! Since I already spent money on another one it's way better than this one!
My vs Anker
Mine is super good vs Anker is way worse.
Hope it helps others to choose.

I own the same, but I think the duty cycle for most of this class of unit is under 200W use, considering the limited ~250wh storage. Our 600 watt use would last how long...maybe 15 minutes? ;-).
I certainly envy the Anker 5 year warranty, especially with all those folks bricking the EB3A trying to upgrade firmware, though my upgrade worked without a hitch..
But thanks for mentioning the charging/wallwort difference. A real consideration or sure!.
