Was going to buy and cancel if it fell lower but unfortunately it's sold and shipped from jackery. Even though it won't ship to me until December 4-6
How did you get it for so cheap?

Jackery is simple, self-contained, and way overpriced. The warranty is what you're paying for. I have a jackery 1000. One of the usb ports stopped working within 3 months. Jackery sent me a replacement. I had a 500 that totally crapped out in less than a year. Warranty covered it and the replacement died a little over a year later. Both solar saga panels I had lasted less than 2 years. Again, the warranty covered them.
I have an off brand 500wh power station that I bought super cheap on Amazon when I was waiting for jackery to repair/replace the broken 500 I used to have. 4 years later and it's still running great. Bought a couple of offbrand 100w folding solar panels and they too have been working fine for over 3 years. The power station and the panels cost less than half of what jackery charges.
Point is, jackery is a well known brand with a solid warranty. But in my experience, doesn't work any better than the nameless brands sold on Amazon for 50% less. In my experience, they are not worth it. I'd follow the other posters advice and build my own. If you're into simplicity, the cheap brands work fine. If you're skeptical, pay the extra $ for the Amazon guarantee and you can be worry-free.
My Anker c1000 I had to return after about 4 months of use. This Jackery I feel would fare even worse. I don't trust it to run a 350w window AC even though it should be easily able to handle it. Anyhow just do your research... and get that warranty process down lol.

Amazon says it could take days to get a response from the seller. Has anyone tried to get a price match?
