As always with all-in-one setups, you can probably do better building your own expandable system with your inverter of choice, batteries, etc.

I have experience with a 230V EU version of this power station. The app is quite good, works faster and is less buggy than Jackery.
It is not loud. River 2 Pro is way louder than this. The fans have a pleasant hum, not a roaring noise.
At 38kgs/85lbs, it is portable only on paper and is mostly designed for use in one place as a home backup. But it has wheels, which is very convenient.
Possible issues:
- Wi-fi is 2.4GHz only. It is not possible to connect at 5Ghz. Also, you need to give the app every permission during setup, otherwise it won't work. Also, it can be quirky if you use an Android phone during setup. I used my wife's iPhone.
- It arrives charged at 58%, and the cells may require balancing. For that, have it charge at minimum speed - select 500W through the app. If you can, connect it to solar or from a cigarette lighter, and have it charge at a slow rate of 100-150W. After it goes to 99-100%, leave it plugged in overnight so that the BMS can do its job and balance the cells.
- I've read in the reviews that the UPS didn't work for some folks. I have 2 computers, one with a 650W power supply, the other is a workstation with a 1450W PSU - it worked for both, no problem. But some folks here claimed their computers were turning off.
- It has a plastic smell when new; but it goes away after some time.
- Also, check if your has an Anderson port. It is pictured everywhere with it, the manual mentions it, but mine arrived without one.
The inverter efficiency is very good - I got 2800Wh out of it drawing 1000W.
It looks quite stylish. It shows the weather on the little screen when everything is connected.
It was packed very well, Ecoflow and Bluetti don't do packaging like that. But the box doesn't have handles, so it's very hard to carry for 1 person.
Overall, folks here are quite happy with it. It has a 4.8/5 rating in the shop I got it from with 48 reviews, all of which are from real people. I don't have mine anymore, but I have a small Gendome Go 300, and I've been very satisfied with it.
These stations are quite reliable, but not as reliable as EcoFlow. So the fact that it comes with a 5-year warranty is good.

The unit has caster-type wheels - appropriate for the 85 lb weight - but no apparent suitcase style handle. The wheels look like they are more appropriate for moving around on flat ground, ex inside a home or garage rather than for use transporting over rough terrain. This limits the utility for camping.
Unique features include Alexa / Google Nest integration - not clear if the unit itself has a microphone - and a separate 200W DC input for wind charging. Wind charging is pretty inefficient without being significantly elevated, so not clear how useful this is in practice.
The power station has two ports for expansion batteries but these don't appear to be available from Amazon, Wellbots, or their own site.
