The two main uses are emergency backup power, and off grid use (camping).
The first use is the main reason I bought mine. Wildfires, high wind events, etc PG&E likes to turn off the power for undisclosed amounts of time. Obviously, I have a generator suitable to run the whole house, but it's not a good idea to run it constantly just to keep the fridge cold, especially when roads are shut down and gas supply is dwindling. Instead, my ecoflow can run my fridge and internet (only communication where i live) for 28hrs on one charge. Run the gen for 1.5hrs and I'm good for another day. I also have 250w worth of solar panels to keep it topped off for those major outages.
Even for shorter outages, I'll plug the TV and fridge into it so I don't have to lug out the generator for a short 6hr outage.
Also a plus for camping, running lights around the campsite or when we have older family members with us to run small appliances they just can't live without.
These aren't for everyone if you don't have a use case, but if you do have a use case, they are great. Mine has almost paid for itself in gas savings alone, plus the PG&E rebate I got on it too ($500 rebate.)
