I paid more for mine and at $200 a unit, especially with the added power banks, I think it's an awesome price point.
The expansion batteries can be a bit expensive when not on sale, but if you are looking for more wh, I'd consider something else. I went with the BLUETTI elite 100 v2 for the pc because I needed the higher wattage and wanted to preserve a good ups switch over time, plus the bigger battery @1kwh.
Like Ubuntu 22.04 LTS apparently. Can confirm it works though, running NUT in docker.
So, yeah, slightly oddball to not have updated to the v6.x stack in the last 5 years.
Modems/routers/switches/WiFi Access points are ~10-20 W. Microwaves are 50x-100x and sustained in order to cook something . . . .

Using the 'backup reserve' feature to manually discharge the batteries will likely cut your AC power off even when the unit is still plugged into the grid, as it has done multiple times for me even with the unit indicating the battery is still at 20% or over (and with less than a 300 watt load). Updating the firmware also shuts off AC power. Unexpectedly shutting off the AC power when plugged into the grid is not acceptable for a UPS. My CyberPower UPS units didn't have these issues. I'm not happy that this has still not been fixed and EcoFlow support has been no help. In my opinion, these River 3 Plus units are definitely not "pro-grade" or "premium" UPS units. If they were then they wouldn't shut off AC power unexpectedly and you wouldn't have to manually baby the unit every 3 months by discharging and recharging manually. This becomes even more of an issue if you have multiple units because you have to manually manage each one.
The only reliable "solution" I have found to this is to use a normal lead acid UPS (like APC or CyberPower) plugged into the EcoFlow. I put my most critical devices on it (like computers and NAS) so they stay on when the EcoFlow fails to keep the AC power on. Other non-critical items that aren't such a big deal if they get powered off (i.e. smart devices, monitors, accessories) are not on the regular UPS and are directly connected to the EcoFlow AC output.
