The home depot deals for ecoflow for $1049 similar capacity or $1499 for 3kwh seems like a better deal.
The one this has that the other 2 don't is the tt-30 rv port.
I still like this Anker unit better. I was hoping that Costco would eventually carry this unit and was hoping to get it under $1,500.
Still, this deal is very tempting to me. Not sure I can hold out.

Our costco stopped selling anker products about 2 years ago. They already carry energizer, ecoflow, and goal zero battery systems as well. I wouldn't expect these any time soon, if ever.

Can you elaborate why you like it better? I know has developed a reputation for their chargers and small batteries but some of their other ventures have not been great. They are relatively new in the big battery generator business. Why would you pay more for less capacity?

For a few reasons. As someone already pointed out, it has NEMA TT30 output. When I did research on these a while back, the Anker was much closer to the rated wh, whereas the Ecoflow apparently isn't as efficient. Also, the Ecoflow price stated in this thread is apparently one where you can only attach the one extra battery to get to the same wh amount. With the Anker, you can get the 2,000wh with the one unit. You can also add another 2,000wh extra battery for a total of 4,000wh.
Also, I like the pass-through charging/UPS functionality of the Anker. I'm not sure the Ecoflow one specified in this thread has the same functionality.
In my case, I want something I can plug my sump pump into while I am away on vaction, etc.
Last year, I was a couple thousand miles from home when we lost power for two days. My basement flooded during a storm, even though I already have a battery backup on my sump pump. If I had a 2,000wh unit plugged in, it would have gotten me two more days of sump pump usage (based on my calculations).
There were other reasons I prefer this Anker unit, but I can't remember them at the moment. When I did my research, I identified this exact unit as the one I want to use for my sump pump when I am on vacation, and as a generator for when I am home and experience a power outage.

It is preferable to have your sump on a dedicated 12v pump. If you flooded either a. The battery died or b. A single 12v isn't enough for the volume of water.
If you have a typical 12v watchdog battery, they crap out all the time, typically within 2 years. A good deep cycle marine battery works well, but you need to check fluids often. The charging circuit on the watchdog system is garbage. Your actually better off getting a battery tender.
Yes I get your idea they you'd leave this thing plugged in while your out on vacaction, but wouldn't you also take this with you.. on vacation?
Get a 80ah lfp battery, and be done. You'll power the pump for days.

I think part of the allure to this and ecoflow (over an 80ah lfp) is being able to monitor useage/charge from your phone and having the additional utility of portable power when you need it.
Also, I'm not sure why you'd want to bring this on vacation. Who wants to haul a 70lb battery on wheels in their vehicle? Maybe a camping or RV trip, if you consider those a vacation, but if its functioning as a backup for a sump-pump (no power, and heavy rain or possibly snow/snow melt), I don't feel like you'd be doing either of those activities. Just a thought.
What is the purpose of something like this. It is not capable of powering something that uses quite a bit of power for a decent amount of time. For example, it will power a refrigerator for about 4 hours of run time assuming nothing else is plugged in. At its fully rated load it will not even last an hour.

The Ecoflow Delta Pro refurbished sells for $2.4K including the 160W solar panel. That is a better deal than the Anker, since it qualifies for the 30% incentive.
