This or a generac for 2x more?

Will this give me enough power for the core home essentials and how long?

Why is ecoflow all over SD the past few weeks? Also seeing a lot of complaints about their refurbs, making me think QC sucks?

Anyone use this system and can share real world experience with what you run and for how long?

Smart panel necessary? I can certainly plug it into my transfer switch on my own.

I have delta pro and shp1. This is only 6kwh, each battery gives you 6kwh. You can buy one first and add more battery later. Thats the great part about it.
Shp is good because it's automatically switch to Ecoflow battery if grid is down. You can even schedule time to charge with grid/solar to use it at night daily
No one has real world experience with this yet.

I guess I just don't know how much core home functions use, like if the can power my hvac and fridge, well pump, etc all at once or if I need a better for each then it's prohibitively expensive

Check your electricity bill to see what is your usage for a month divided by number of days then you get rough estimate how much per day
buy this https://www.amazon.com/Energy-Monitoring-Continuous-Certified-Package/dp/B0CLVRZ2QL/ref=sr_1_6?crid=... [amazon.com] or search Emporia smart plug to see specific usage for device that can be plug in like router, fridge, microwave. This device can be seen real time usage so you can see surge power and regular power
Or buy this https://www.amazon.com/Emporia-Monitor-Circuit-Electricity-Metering/dp/B08CJGPHL9/ref=sr_1_5?crid=19... [amazon.com] to see power consumption for each line coming from your electrical panel for stuff cant be plug in like HVAC/sump pump

Or just buy this bundle and you will see all information above. This bundle has no limitation in term of power. It should cover 99% of your power need. You can always upgrade capacity later by buying more batteries. You should install all circuit in your house but only turn on 1-2 essential as you proceed along this line.

I am just a number nerd so I like to look at data/number ​

Feel free to chime in...if you already have a Delta Pro like me and would like at least 10,000wh of backup power, do you: get 2 more Delta Pro refurbs (for the 240v) or get 2 Delta Pro Ultras (which will be significantly more $ per wh, but has the nice UPS function. I guess it all comes down to what you can spend.
Either way, with the state of the world today, I want at least 10k wh backup LifePO4 batteries and a Smart Home Panel ready for whatever happens.

One thing these portable inverters does not advertise is heat losses. (How efficient they are compared to the competition)

Stationary inverters are heavier because they contain more metal and better materials to contain the Eddy currents. On top of a low idle consumption and high solar input rating for their MPPT's

Portable is a bit of a gimmick. It may be slightly easier to hook up on paper but still require professional help to set up initially. At best it serves as backup power, not to save much on solar unless set up professionally.

A 4-ton air conditioner (48,000 BTU) typically uses around 6,000–6,500 watts to start up and 3,000–3,500 watts to run continuously. So you have less than 3 hours run time on a 10kw battery backup. I would definitely go with a Generac for continuous power if running the a/c is important to you.

The average household use about 800kWr/month. I use about 576kWh/month = 19.4kWh/day.
The use case scenario is essential items (water pump, refrigerator, and some lights) during blackout.
A gas generator or a full solar system with a 10-15wh battery backup if you want to run everything without skipping a beat.

Shesh 800kwh is low. We average 1200 and our gas bill is separate.

My cabin in the middle of no where that has nothing but a hot water heater, window ac, and propane furnace pulls about 400-500 and the temp there is kept at 45.

We use anywhere from 1,000 to 2,500 kWh per month here in Florida for a modestly sized house. Would need 7 of these to keep things running for a day even during the winter without the AC running.

Better to just buy a vehicle-to-grid capable EV with 100 kWh battery and get a lot more bang for your buck if you intend to build a whole house backup.

Isn't gas powered backup generator more efficient and environmentally friendly?

Just my 2 cents, when investing a backup system like this, consider other whole house backup solutions that is in the market for longer time.
Here you are spending thousands, and with installation probably close to 10k. That's a lot. Other system will cost more, but there ROI is generally less than 10yr. (My ROI of solar +pw is less than 5yr.)
And also if you don't expand battery, this won't last very long. But if you do, cost is just so much higher long term.
Not sure If you can take advantage of tax credit and utility incentives. Those can offset the long term cost for system like this in some other system.
Most reviews are paid ad at this point.

undoubtedly, if you need mobility, this is a clearly a big advantage vs other system. But just carry this around is not easy.

Could I use this to charge up at night for cheap then power my house during the day when electricity is more expensive? Assuming I have enough batteries of course.

Yes, that's one of the reasons that I'm looking at installing this (with my already installed solar). Costs in CA triple in the evening (from $0.2/kWHr to $0.6/kWHr). There are some good videos that describe this exact scenario as well.
