Deal HistoryÂ
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
Good price if actually includes the Trail 200, but the product details doesn't mention the included Trail 200 and the first picture is clearly incorrect with the wrong socket type.

Good deal if it does include the trail 200. But if not, it is meh deal. You do get 30% tax credit on this and 6% or so cashback with prime if you use no rush. But keep in mind amazon says no returns.
If you go to their site, its $1099 but shows the Trail 200 as a free gift from 11/3 to 11/19. Not sure if that will apply to Amazon orders but I would think so.

I just bought the Pecron 3600... went back and forth between the EcoFlow (more established brand, probably better CS, potentially more universality with external products) but ultimately landed on the Pecron for these reasons:
1 - better solar input, including 2 terminals for input
2 - $100 cheaper and no tax if you order on their website
3 - External connector enable golf-cart batteries for extendable capacity at around $150/kwh of capacity with no additional relays or magic connections other than the cable. (checkout the youtube vids showing people extending from pecron to external golf batteries)
4 - MUCH faster AC input with the 3200w input
5 - Can expand Pecron to 240v with an additional unit and external cable... ecoflow cannot.
Some "meh" issues I ultimately settled with the pecron despite:
1. Heavier than hell, and no wheels with the pecron (ecoflow has them, but it can't be that large of a deal... right??? 😬)
2. The fan is reportedly a jet engine, so having it as a UPS setup would probably suck... though that's not why I'm getting it.
3. The internet connectivity is reported to be intermittent at best. Lots of manual checkups.
ECOFlow service sucks, and component compatibility sucks. They sell stuff that -- unless you buy another whole unit, plus cables, it won't work. Their response, "So sorry but the time for return has lapsed." This is after I was run around the block a few times, non-returned emails and voicemails. Of course, they just ignored me long enough for it to lapse. Jus' sayin.

Thinking about pulling the trigger on this but I bought a lower tier ecoflow a few years ago and sent it back. I was dumbfounded that with an app interface and separate microcontroller and all, it was not possible to schedule WHEN it charged to take advantage of TOU plans.
Ultimately, my ideal system would be something that is compliant with open standards for local control - I abhor proprietary cloud requiring devices for remote control, unless there are documented 'jailbreaking' procedures available to gain local control. Integration path with home assistant without going through proprietary cloud in a major major plus for me.
Goldeneyebond007, any experience one way or another on this compared to the Percrons? Anyone else have relevant recommendations or advice?
EDIT: another big plus for me is a unit with robust dc output options. Whether USB-C or wall warts - my home lab computing env is made to be powered by DC

That's a Type I plug socket. However, it's likely a stock photo, as the review photos show standard plugs.

Getting better but still not sub $250/kWh you can do with DIY solutions.
