As one can expect - the over/under on this unit is that it's a pretty good design, but two things hold it back.
1. Customer support is a bit so-so, I believe they don't have any North American presence
2. [Edit] Reviews claim it outputs 110V (not 120V) - which should be okay, but isn't ideal. But a poster in an old slickdeals thread for the P5000 says they measured 120V with a multimeter.
UPS functionality is apparently quite good - so assuming it doesn't die, this is a great way to get a lot of battery backup for cheap
That said - for the price, this is a pretty good deal.
The question I have is, do I buy the CPS warranty (accident protection) or not? Anyone have experience with this company, or an opinion on this? Is it worth it? And if so, would you buy the 2 or 3 year? Thoughts?
it seems it is better than EcoFlow ultra deal in Cosco Ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra 12kWh Solution $7000 $583/kWh, but worse than Neo2000 $649 deal $312/kWh

The ecoflow can output 240v also and is a home backup

Original versions of these power stations are all 220v from China...they have to modify to fit US market.
American standard is 110v unless you need power high power appliance such as stove or something else. most power stations can do home backup depending how you are doing....
EcoFlow is far overpriced, wait to the BF to see it becomes half price...
Just found that post. The poster says both the unit and a multimeter measured 120V - presumably with the "power boost" mode disabled that they mentioned (that allows the unit to drop voltage to boost current).
Price is pretty close to what you can get a server rack battery for given about the same kwh. This seems like a slick deal.
While I plan on building a server rack battery setup - I'd prefer to have the short term peace of mind that an all in one unit brings. Seeing as how I couldn't find a server rack battery + inverter/charger that can run on 120V that came in below this price.
Ordered one!
This unit is a very good price for it's capability. I'm going to park it in my server rack as a UPS for my server/networking gear, with plenty of wattage/juice to power my sump pumps in an emergency.

When people say home backup solution, most people are implying the use of a transfer switch or interlock hooked up to the battery backup via 1 cable usually with a nema 14-50 or 14-30 outlet capable of at least 20A. this does not have that kind of outlet. i would not consider a unit that you have to run multiple extension cords to different devices/appliances a real home backup system.
Also, the ones that can do 240v will allow you to run central AC/ central heat. This unit cannot do that. Even if the capacity for running central AC would not last very long, it will work. More importantly, it will run central heat that runs on natural gas but still needs 240v electricity to run the thermostat and electrical component to turn on/control the central heat.
The EF ultra is a much different beast and far superior to this. The closer comparison is the EF Pro which is dropping in price dramatically (you should know, I believe you have posted or commented on some of those deals. It takes 2 unit to do 240v but at least it is capable of that. Even without 240v, it at least has a 14-30 outlet for interlock connection for your 120v devices.
possible to use this as a car charger? I have 4 used 400W panels. It seems the max is 1000W solar charge so 3 panels should pull that in. Possible to hookup my panels and just plug in my charge adapter ?
Edit: I live in so cal and the rates here are average 39 cents per KWH
Ordered a product through them, website claimed "ships in 1-3 days" took them 10 days to start shipping and only after I contacted customer support twice. Probably won't order from them again.

Certainly makes this more interesting.

$1175 after tax credit, if you qualify.
