Some notes I found interesting: The inverter starts at 110V which is a bit low already, and if you use a 50ft+ extension cord and pull say 1000W with this it's possible you end up with 100V at your load which is bad. As you add more load the voltage drops alarmingly as well. If you get to 2400W and above it just keeps dropping the voltage instead of tripping. The review shows under 90V at one point. This was tested at 1.7kwh capacity, so about 80% of rated capacity (85-88% is common in this class). My take: If you have non-sensitive equipment and want a battery that draws low wattage for a reasonable amount of time, this is decent. But this doesn't perform like other 2kwh batteries from what I've seen.

Difference is Ecoflow support got your back and Solarplay likely does not. See the video below, it helped me decide to stick with ecoflow than getting an offbrand.

If you want to expand your existing all-in-one battery, you either have to buy an expansion battery from the company (if possible), or do something like what you're doing, which has inefficiencies. Plugging a bare lifepo4 battery directly into the solar inputs of your Jackery (if possible) would be more efficient than charging it from another all-in-one, and probably cheaper, but you'd have the challenge of charging the lifepo4 after you used it. Lifepo4 chargers are cheap, but require 120v, and you could even charge it FROM the Jackery when you had excess power. Or you could get a charge controller and solar for it. If you're at home, this might be simple enough to do after an outage. If you're remote, and you have panels for the Solarplay too, daisy chaining multiple all-in-one batteries might be better for you. You can see it somewhat depends on use case.

"oh man the fact it only takes 1000w solar is a deal breaker for me!"
"oh darn its $100 and not $99.. yeah that's a deal breaker"
Well yeah, I wonder why.. You can have dirt cheap or you can have first name basis customer service, not both.

The newer dedicated UPS that uses a LiFePO4 battery were also a joke. They had tiny 300 watt LiFePO4 batteries, and although you can pull more power from them unlike the older SLA UPS, it was still a joke of a run time, and weren't even worth the consideration especially the $400 price.
Been eyeing these power stations with UPS feature as a replacement for a very long time but they were always too expensive. $374 for this Solarplay power station is pretty compelling price to give it a try. Even with efficiency loss, it's probably still an 1700 watt battery backup, still 2+ hrs of battery for my needs. If it ends up working well, I'll do the battery hack that I've seen others do, more than double the runtime by adding a 24v 100 ah LiFePO4 to the solar charge port.
Yet that's not good enough and the nit picking happens. if you need all the features in the world, pay more. Otherwise you're getting a much cheaper power station that likely won't check every single box in the world.
Beggars can't be choosers.
It is a bit clumsy and make sure to insulate the connections. Do at your own risk. My has been running well and extended my security camera, WiFi router and modem for a few hours.
The battery stay charged and seems to be ok since sealed lead acid charging voltage is close to lifepo4.
Once again, do at your own risk. Always make sure wiring is thick enough, insulated.

I'm in an urban area but lots of old mature trees in the area and people don't trim foliage around power lines, and it doesn't help that the lines get run through the backyard of houses with lots of trees and not conducive for the power company to go through and cut branches. Only takes a good storm to knock power lines or the poles down but fortunately they're speedy about replacing lines and poles. Last outage was last month when someone ran into a power pole near a main road with their car. Crew had a new pole up and rewired in a little over an hour. Then 12 hrs later, a storm hit the area and power was out for over 8 hrs. When the power company sends a text for the outage but don't give an estimated time for restoration, you know it's bad.

Our country's grid needs to be updated. Power lines through people's backyards is NOT acceptable. I can live a brief while without power, but NOT without Internet. I have my router/modem connected to a new APC unit I bought about a year ago from Amazon that is horizontal that runs them separately. I wish they made more like that, but moot because I'm going with these types of UPS now.
