Unless you are willing to pay more for Anker brand, I would do some comparison shopping. These ~300wh units with standard lithium cells are usually in the 120-170 dollar range as a regular non-sale price. Around $200 you get into LiFePo4 batteries which are way more durable in terms of charge cycles.
Bluetti EB3A is currently $240 but routinely goes down around $200. It recharges in 1 hour instead of 3, it comes with LiFePo4 batteries (They last longer than Li-Ion), and it can be used as a UPS.
I almost jumped on that Bluetti deal for $200 but after reading about all the problems folks were having, (new item) decided to wait for a 2nd gen or at least give it 6 more months for them to work out the bugs.
Am hoping they make either a bigger unit, or add an extra battery so I can charge one and use the other.

The 521 has a LiFePO4 battery.

It's a generator replacement device. I think this topic has been brought up so many times it's become the equivalent at Slickdeals as 'Does it have HDMI?'

Doesn't seem to be LiFePo4, I'd say li-ion is rarely worth it for solar generators.

I would not count on this being a worthy UPS.
It has "up to" 30ms response. That means it may work as a UPS in a perfect electrical environment.
A dedicated UPS is almost half that response time.

I'm all about saving money but ya know, the right device for the right expectations?

I was a little bit skeptical of this at first. But if you go to the electric battery section of Amazon, there are indeed cheaper alternatives. No idea how reputable or comparable they are though:

Some are way more expensive, some are cheaper but with less battery life, but then there are some cheaper and roughly comparable, I think. But I'm far from an expert so they could be sketchy.

Not sure why so many thumbs up for this. It is an okay deal, but there are TONS of options for around 300wh power stations near this price. I wouldn't regret buying this at this price, but I would consider it a slickdeal is all.

Strange.
