For comparison the Leoch 2000w / 4000w surge, 2048Wh is currently on Amazon for around $999 from a few different vendors. It has it's quirks, especially in charging capabilities, but also some advantages like pass-thru power UPS functionality. Hobotech on YouTube has a couple of in-depth reviews on it.

Thanks. I looked it up. Not sure if I want to spend $1k on that unit with limited reviews and unreliable support (or so it may seem).
I bought the Ecoflow River Pro and Extra battery. When you are not having problems with the buggy software it seems ok but there is a lot of bugs. Good luck
i have the original Delta, but not this new version
when ppl mention bugs, they probably mean things like this that i noticed:
* it does not charge via solar and wall at the same time - you have to turn the wall power off before it'll draw from solar input
* it occasionally confuses solar input with car cig lighter input - they are the same connection
* when the above happens, it will refuse to charge via solar anymore
* it is difficult to reset, since it's a battery it always has power and isn't clear what the process is to fully reset it is
* sometimes it will act like it's overheated, but not spin the fans up
* sometimes the fans start up and go full blast when unplugging from the wall, or wait until it is plugged back into the wall before starting the fans
other non-software quirks:
* the fans are way noisier than anything else in my room where i keep it, including louder than the u-shape a/c unit i run off it
* there is no manual control of the fans
* the inverters for 120v ac, 12v dc, usb, etc - they do not maintain previous state when the unit loses power, they have to be manually turned on again
* it is very annoying to use on a day to day basis, and i found myself engineering really crazy workarounds so that it wouldn't draw deep into the battery charge and only start running the a/c when the sun/heat was the worst in the day
* the battery isn't really big enough to last overnight for a gaming pc that idles around 70-120w, there seems to be quite a bit of inverter loss

Pretty solid unit overall. In this category it's currently the best bang for the buck. If you go larger the Bluetti AC500 is worth a look. https://youtu.be/cz0znTSA5hY
