That being said, I agree that the one in this thread is a better buy if you want/need the solar panels. I got mine for the sole purpose as a UPS for my internet modem, wireless router, and SmartThings; I already have whole-house solar and I'm not taking the unit with me anywhere. I just don't have any use for the solar panels.
Furthermore, the EcoFlow solar panel included with the River 3:
- requires an adapter (if one exists) to use them with anything other than EcoFlow power stations,
- is generally considered to be slower than advertised, and
- is labeled as being IPX68 waterproof (immersion) and yet the warranty on them doesn't cover water damage.
After tax, the difference is around $80. I understand that you can't directly compare a refurb vs new, but I don't (personally) think the difference in the two is that much, especially since the new units are being sold on Amazon by EcoFlow and returns/warranty claims are going to be a PITA no matter what. Resale on the panels - if you don't want/need them - is probably only about $60 since they have gone on sale for less in the not-too-distant past, so (in my mind), you're paying an extra $20 for a new unit vs refurb. That's about right given the same warranty coverage on new vs refurb.I might have jumped on this if I didn't get the refurb, with the goal of finding someone to buy the panels for $70-80, but I don't really have a taste for selling things on FB or Craigslist anymore. It's rarely worth the hassle.

I did get the ebay refurbished unit and mine came almost new. No scruffs no marks.
