Pecron is great, I have two units, the E600 and the E1000.
But at 800 dollars for the F3000 I'd bump to 1k and get the E3600 or splurge for the E3800 at 1.2k - both of those systems take extension batteries and can be bonded together with a twin power station for a 240 dual phase output for a whole house backup solution. Inverter aside, the capacity of this unit is just as good value as the pecrons if not a bit better.
For me, this is just a different class of power station we haven't seen before - I'm looking for something that fits into a cubby to replace my UPSs and has the best efficiency and life cycle rating. The pecrons, ecoflow, and Anker's own C2000 units are just different things for different needs - they'll all have beefier inverters, but won't live as long, have more weight, bigger, and less efficient.
A lot of people recommending other units don't seem to recognize this is a new class of power station - if you're looking for a traditional all rounder:
Pecron: best bang for the buck and value across the board, always good pricing, okay to good support, best upgrade paths in the business if you want to grow a unified system. Okay app support and okay (wouldn't use it for high value electronics tho) UPS functionality. Top tier efficiency.
Ecoflow: I've had issues with ecoflow so am a bit biased - I think their customer support SUCKS, and while they were the top a few years ago they are a hard sell, at least for me, these days. Great app. Wonderful UPS *when it works* and when it doesn't it's horrible. The last firmware update has taken the UPS benefits and smashed them on the ground as units across their devices seem to be randomly shutting off. Good to very good efficiency.
Bluetti: Not a fan of the company or their tactics as they try to stifle criticism, but they've made some banger units. Top tier efficiency, especially on their elite / v2 lines. Very good app control. Top tier UPS functionality and top tier efficiency. I'll be putting a refurb elite 100 v2 through its paces next week.
Jackery: Haven't owned one myself, but not a fan of the company - was way overpriced until recently when the competition started eating their lunch, only got off of the traditional lithium ion solutions that ran 500 cycles but kept on advertising the damn things insinuating they were like all the other LiPo 3000 cycle batteries that had arrived on the market. Not sure about app or UPS.
Anker: I believe they are the best in the business, though usually have a premium cost close to ecoflow. Best UPS functionality (this S2000 unit is UL 1778 ups rated, though no power station as a UPS is rock solid as none of them have AVR), best app, best efficiency. Even their c300 300W AC units are banger. Very slick and increasingly functional ecosystem that takes advantage of different solutions if you buy in. The S2000 is a different class of unit - if you're not trying to get a jack of all trades like everything else, and want something you can use all the time (UPS basically) this unit will last 3 times as long, weigh a bit less, take less of a footprint, and sip half as much energy as anything else on the market. The inverter isn't as beefy, but that's the price you pay for more efficiency. I mean.... in theory, but the early bird reviews seem to back up the talk in this area.
I love my Pecrons, but in 5 years I don't see rotating them to something like networking gear - these units, more so than the Anker C2000, are something I see throwing on a server in 5 years and networking equipment in 10 years.
If you're wondering why I'm so crazed on this, I have x6 UPSs running at all times, I replace at least one of them a year at 300+ USD and they suck up more energy than you think. I'm blowing all my money to get out of the lead acid rotation and save a bit of cash after a few years of use - this particular unit offers more in the efficiency and life area than anything else I've tried or considered. If they don't screw it up, it'll be a banger of a unit.
I totally get people pointing out it has middling solar input, no 12V charger, and a weak inverter for the 2kWh capacity. But it's not a unit that is designed to be like all the other power stations - I think it would be more appealing to a lot of people if they understand the differences.
Right, hopefully that satisfies my OCD and I can top off this UPS replacement saga when these units arrive in June. What the feck am I going to do with all that extra time?
While this unit is launching quite a bit cheaper than other 2kWh units (it does have a less beefy inverter, but that's what gives it it's efficiency), I'd treat the 680 USD as the real MSRP.
I suspect the 680 price tag will stick for at least 90 days but it won't hit the 599 again until Black Friday at the earliest; for one if buying direct from Anker, they do 90 day price matching and probably don't want to go below that figure in that time frame.... and once it is released, the 680 price is set with their whole ecosystem. A.k.a. if their C2000 is 15% off, the S2000 best case scenario will follow suit, otherwise you can buy a 2kWh from the same company for cheaper than the S2000 inverter be damned.

They need to hurry this up and have a sale
The idea is for people not following they think its a sale. For those who know will see 599 as msrp.

As such not really knowledgeable on the solar component other than two of the reviews I posted go into detail - I think you just need that connector and find a good SD for a 400 watt set of panels if you want to max it out.
C2000 or even c1000 will be adequate IMO
The only thing I'd say to you is that if you're using it for camping, it doesn't have a cigarette input which a lot of campers use for certain things.
As far as deals go, I think it'll be the lowest price until @ Black Friday but would assume Black Friday would meet or slightly beat it, albeit I'd be surprised if BF is more than a couple percentage points off of 599.

The C1000 is great if you want to spare 100 dollars (though it did dip to 350 according to camelcamel at one point) and can take half the capacity.
Both the C2000 and C1000 have cigarette charging ports, which is important to a lot of campers. The S2000 does not.
