Do not ever buy this one....
It cannot provide pass through power. It has got a big charging brick that makes noise all the time.

if you keep something plugged to it even when there is power, the battery will charge from the DC current from the charger and simultaneously it will discharge through the inverter to keep your appliance running. terrible design
if your use case is to run on battery Everytime you use it then it might make sense but for a little more you can buy others which will satisfy all use cases

So what you're saying is if you're looking for a UPS, don't buy this. Is this marketed as a UPS or is this just marketed as a portable battery?
I wouldn't ever buy anything from Walmart anyway, but it's good to know the intended use case for this. For somebody who wants to throw this in a portable camping solution or wants to have a portable battery as a backup during outages, this looks to be a fantastic price and my Bluetti aC200p and B300 combo work fantastic for both my 20-ft travel trailer when camping and with my manual transfer switch in my house for emergency power to four different circuits.

Is there an actual problem with this other than the power supply making a little bit of noise? Or is it just a matter of setting expectations?

No other issues aside from the noisy and external power adapter and not being a true UPS
