It is a smoking deal if you are brave. Kinda like refurbished hard drives. Who knows what kind of life this has already led. Charge it while it's below freezing a couple of times and your capacity is toast (or worse).
Awesome price. Would like one for my washing machine but don't feel like buying and setting up another array of panels for the other side of the house.

I just want to add some information for anyone looking to purchase this.
I purchased this refurbished unit a couple weeks ago but I ended up returning it. It has some scuffs on the sides and around the handles and some scratches on top and a tiny bit of dirt on the screen so it wasn't really "like new" like it states but not a deal breaker and it's gonna get beat up lugging it around anyways.
The main issue I have with this unit is the battery drain/phantom power draw or whatever you wanna call it. This thing burns 2%-2.5% per hour just having the unit on. For my use case I wanted to bring an electric blanket camping because sometimes it gets in the 30's/40's in the mountains. I purchased the home Depot ecoflow delta 2 plus 1kw battery to compare to this bluetti. I used low wattage devices to see how long they could run. The ecoflow ending up have like 35%+ left by the time this bluetti died. The long usage drain is terrible for the bluetti so for use cases like running a fan or blanket overnight it's really not great and you're not getting the 2000wh.
If you're gonna run it hard and fast though that's where it seems like it would be a winner while running high wattage devices although what's the point if it can only handle load for 1-2 hours but I understand everyone has different uses.
Having said that...this is a great price and I wouldn't say it's not worth $700 especially since it comes with a 2 year ebay warranty.
If it didn't have the battery drain I would have kept it at the $800 I paid for it. YMMV
edit: fyi I posted the bluetti pv350 solar panel for $351 that would pair well with this if anyone is looking for a panel to match with this guy because you'll need high voc panel of at least 45v

Probably not since bluetti customer service is terrible. You might just end up with a $700 paper weight
I second this. Their customer service is a joke.
Ecoflow is a much better product in terms of quality and service. After a bad experience with Bluetti products, they lost me as a customer for life and $$ down the drain and i will never invest in their ecosystem again.

Try Electric blankets that run on DC instead of AC. That way your unit doesn't have to turn on the inverter which by itself consumes power even when it's not running anything. DC-DC converter is a lot more efficient

Yeah the only problem is I can't really find a queen-king size 12v blanket

It sounds like the battery degraded 30% already (very reasonable loss after x years or abuse) especially if it looked beat up. They might have just have the BMS show 100% but you are really operating at 50% (30% lost + 20% reserve)
