Also you can only charge the battery while the ac unit is connected. So you can't bring the battery in your home to charge, you have to carry the entire thing. It does charge with solar.

I gathered "1500w cooling capacity" and "1800w heating capacity"
But it's not describing actual power consumption. I can't imagine a/c on it is really 1kw when in use, but i'd assume it's at least 700-800w when the compressor is running.
So using it as a car-camping a/c, i can see it being relatively useful for a long period because the compressor doesn't have to kick on and off frequently. But let's say you use this thing in a tent, the compressor running full-time....800w- you'd theoretically need 6.4kw of battery to run it 8hrs
Using electric heat amplifies power consumption, but it's a very nice feature to have as an all-in-one unit.
These have their use but I caution people to understand power consumption and battery capacities before buying these things *for a lot of money* and being disappointed.
FWIW a portable a/c can be purchased on amazon for a few hundred bucks, using approx the same wattage to do the same thing. Shoot, I got a 12kbtu portable a/c for use during power outages (used it for a week after Milton knocked out our power) and it cost me ~365. Probably runs 900-1000w when the compressor is running.

Now I use it outback as a cooling/heating fan for my pit, he lays in front of it. Pittie approved, human not 😅
