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.
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...
Certainly makes this more interesting.

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.

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.
$1175 after tax credit, if you qualify.
Edit: I live in so cal and the rates here are average 39 cents per KWH

In which case, it's the drop shipper who took their sweet time. Still frustrating, but Wellbots customer support has been pretty good to me (for things within their control)
