That's not to mention the outrageous price for what you get - 7.2kW and 7.2kWh. Another $1kish will get you a 20+kW NG standby generator with 200Amp transfer switch, that will run essentially forever.
Yes I understand these have their place - if you need silent power, and your power demands aren't extreme, these might work, but they're a super pricey solution.
One benefit of the Hondas (among others):
"Limitless" run time, constrained only by fuel availability.
Some benefits of the Delta 2 Max:
-As others may have already said: silent (OK sure, cooling fans if you're cranking the output).
-Can be run inside.
-Can be charged via solar (I have 520W of solar capacity for now, for what it's worth)
In an extended power outage, I can see myself relying on the Hondas during the day, and then using the Delta 2 Max overnight. Zero noise, zero theft potential, I can have it running inside without killing myself. Can run the fridge, router, access points, some lights, etc. overnight, then be charged up during the day.
I'll be expanding my battery capacity, but will probably go with DIY. 48V LFP battery, inverter, etc. You can achieve better Wh/$ doing DIY (sometimes a lot more), compared to EcoFlow or similar all-in-one devices. Maybe not when you're spending $1,000. An EcoFlow device can be simpler and more appealing at that price point. But for the ~$4,000 you'd spend on this deal, you could build a higher capacity DIY system.
For example... ~$2,518 will buy you 2x EG4 48V 100Ah server rack batteries. Total 10.24Wh (versus 7.2kWh from the two Delta Pro's). And you have ~$1,500 left over to buy a nice inverter. For example $1,400 for an EG4 6000XP Off-Grid Inverter (8000W PV Input | 6000W Output | 480V VOC Input | 48V 120/240V Split Phase). Same ~$4,000 for +42% Wh, plus the ability to easily add capacity with other battery brands and types.
Anyway. Plus and minus for both, of course. Those batteries and that inverter have the same 5-year warranty that the Delta Pros do. But the batteries will have a 10 year warranty if paired with a better EG4 inverter. On the other hand, the Delta Pro is "all in one", has a decent phone application, has wheels + handle built in, etc. etc. I see the appeal of that, and have no regrets with my Delta 2 Max. Have already used it once during an outage.

Might do whole home for 24 hours, or 48 hours with careful usage..
Add a 120 volt, 4 or 6 circuit power transfer switch at $400 to $500
Add switch installation at $500 to $1500.

As far as charging goes, yes you could use a solar panel (for more $$ I might add), but I am not sure that would work logistically (are you going to haul the batteries outside your house to charge them? Or, run some super long cable out to the panels?), and you're not going to charge very quickly. 1m2 of solar panels will get you around 200-300W under real world conditions. That means such a setup would require around 24-36 hours of sunlight to fully charge. They offer a 400W panel (that apparently only outputs around 300W according to the charging numbers on their website) that weighs 30lb, is 4'x8' and costs $1000.
You could get more panels (again at a higher cost), but at what point is this replacement getting silly - what do you have, 200 lb of batteries and another 60lb of solar panels that you're going to haul outside each day to charge? All for like $6000?

This is like a fancy (but manual, human intervention required) battery back-up for your home. We have 2 central air units, so I'm not even sure this would even work for our application. I don't like the price for what it is. Maybe in 3-5 years when these things drop to 2k I will invest, but not today that's for sure.
