I bought one a week ago using this code still haven't received it. My sole purpose for this is plugging in my modem + router during a black out which we have many in the summer in so cal.

I suggest you check with customer care on your order. I've had them cancel my order because of some verification issues

Ecoflow manual says 200W per outlet, which is impressive.

I just bought this, 200W total.

Which Ecoflow?
The manual I have for the River 2 says 300W total (surge 600W).

Newbie question, If I bought this to power my Beat Box by Dre, that is 200w how long would it power it?

What does the label on the charger says for DC voltage and current?

Using your number of 200W, this power station will last you about 1.2 hours since the unit needs some of the battery power for itself.

Can you use the electric water heater for instant noodle?

Maybe using Storm 700. It does impressive 1400 peak watts on pure sine wave. $179

Does your ISP stay online during blackouts? Spectrum/Charter in my area lasts about 5 minutes after power drops, so despite the fact that my modem/router are on a good, long-lasting battery backup, I still can't stay online during a blackout... I hope you have a different experience in your area!

My experience too, except Spectrum here lasts maybe 2-3 hours. Thomas Fire was the test for me and they failed. We've also had SCE planned shutdowns for pole replacements for 8-12 hours and Spectrum wouldn't stay up longer than a couple of hours. One time they set up a generator, but didn't bother to refill it, so it lasted 6 hours. . . . .

So disappointing.

Could you link me to an example of this model you're talking about. I can't seem to find it.

Believe they're referring to this one. Just keep in mind it's not LifePO4, so less longevity, safety, and higher self discharge.

I bought 2 of these last month. One works flawlessly, the 2nd one's inverter doesn't work, so no 120 volt output. Tenergy confirmed it is defective, but refuses any warranty because they say Buydig isn't an authorized reseller. Buydig says they are authorized, but gave me a $50 credit to keep the defective one. Buydig says they will contact Tenergy for the warranty, but I haven't heard from either. My 2 cents.

I got this eb3a one instead, for $20 more, you get triple performance. Also LifePO4, but 600w/1200w surge (vs 200w/400w in this one). Certified refurbished direct from Bluetti via ebay

A little less than an hour and a half.
An easy way to figure out runtime, in your case since you already know, is to look at watthours. It's pretty simple. Your 200w beat box, in an hour, will take 200watthours
This unit is 300Wh
However expecting to get all 300 of those watthours is a little optimistic, so imagine it's like 80% of the stated capacity in practicality. So something like 260wh, so 260watt-hours/200watts is 1.3 hours.

You're going to need to look at the power output though
" (200W Continuous/Surge 400W)"
So you'll be pinging it at max the whole time, which for a cheaper Chinese battery I wouldn't roll those dice when beefier units aren't that much more expensive.

I got one of my own of a different brand and capacity and love it, but I wish I could charge it faster than 50w, since 300wh/50w is 6 hours no matter how I charge it. I use it for little things I just need plugged in for a moment, but too lazy to get an extension cord, like using a glue gun, powering my monitor and microscope or powering some USB stuff. Handy things!

But that's a refurb and there customer service is pretty nonexistent to tge point where I wouldn't even buy a new one from them. Plus id much rather buy from buydig than ebay. Also I guess performance is subjective. Yes the one you linked has a higher output capacity but also has less watt hours. People who buy this one are using it for lower watt items. Yes the one you linked can output 600w continuous but considering efficiency you would only get about 20 minutes of 600 watts. So for some I guess the one you posted has better performance while for others the one here is better performance. For me personally if I'm getting one with a 600 watt inverter I need something closer to 600Wh.

Yeah, will see how this refurb will be, but so far i got pretty lucky. Amazon has good reviews and free returns on bluetti. Agree, it has about 10% less capacity 278 vs 300wh, but 600w vs 200w, which gives me more options to run higher wattage items.

An additional concern... A number of people have mentioned that with the refurbs they don't touch the batteries. So, you could end up with a unit that's had quite a few cycles through the batteries or they're just old. Not sure if this is true or not, but it was enough to give me pause.
