The Anker Solix S2000 is shaping up as a compact, lightweight backup power station that stands out for UPS use, low idle drain, and high inverter efficiency. It is praised for its small footprint, portability, and ability to keep a fridge, router, TV, or other critical 120 volt loads running through short outages, with UL 1778 UPS certification and 400 watt solar input. The main tradeoffs are the 1500 watt inverter, no 12 volt socket, and limited solar and output flexibility versus more expandable rivals. It feels best suited to short, practical backup duty rather than a full all purpose power setup.
The S2000 is designed for UPS-style backup use with UL 1778 rated switch-over time.
The unit can run critical loads like a fridge during outages with very low idle power drain.
The S2000 supports 400W solar input, which can help recharge without relying only on wall power.
The S2000 can be used with a surge protector setup for sensitive equipment during brownouts.
The S2000 is extremely portable and uses a neat design for moving between locations.
The S2000's 1500W inverter output can be too low for higher-wattage appliances like some microwaves and air fryer ovens.
The S2000's 400W solar input can be too low for faster recharging compared with higher-solar competitors.
The S2000 lacks a 12V socket, which limits charging options for 12V accessories.
The S2000 may not run a microwave reliably because microwave cooking power ratings can translate to much higher draw.
A prior S2000 purchase reportedly never functioned properly, leading to a chargeback request with video evidence.

Ive been considering what to do, the traditional ups also gives input into devices when power fails. Though you could fix that by having one traditional anywhere on the network and sending a signal to everything else to turn off...

...though I'll have a proper surge protector between that device and the power station given how I have to route things.
Do I trust that device for surge protection? No, but it is rated at like 1800 Joules I think.
I'll be setting it for xx second time out when it dips below 100v or above 130v (maybe 140v, not concerned too much about the high end as my devices can go up to 220v for the most part). I was concerned on how quickly it switches over but I realized anything under a second is absolutely fine - I wouldn't be happy about it, but even sensitive equipment can chug along at 90v for a minute or longer, so a half second or less is absolutely fine IMO. Also, brownouts in my area generally have a few dips before getting to anything below 100v, so I expect it to trigger before the brownout really starts to do its thing.
As far as the switchover is concerned, from everything I know and from everything I've researched, it's basically 'as good as prosumer AVR' in how fast it'll switch over and how the power station will take over the mains when the voltage regular starts the timer on a brownout and reconnecting. Given how I've had a few UPSs fail over the years and do more damage to electronics than a brownout would, I figure this could be in some ways safer than the AVR UPSs I'm replacing.
I do hope/wish Anker puts voltage regulation into their app - Bluetti does this on their units and you can dial in what voltages to instigate a delay with, so that device isn't needed, I just put a surge protector between the wall and a Bluetti.
It seems like the c2000 is an option because it appears its draw is just a little bit higher. But it also has opportunity for additional battery and solar charge options.
The form factor on the s2000 is much better with the plug locations in my opinion. They are about 200 dollars different in pricing I believe

By my math, it'll save me at least 350 USD per unit compared to my legion of UPSs that I have to cycle all the time (replacement costs plus high idle), and probably about 50 to 100 USD per power station unit that I have in UPS rotation - currently a Bluetti elite 100 v2 and a Bluetti elite 30 v2. Though I'm not taking the Bluettis out of rotation as I can't afford another x2 S2000 units to replace them as while the numbers would favor the S2000 over their lifetime, I've already invested in those units... and I'm broke.
The C2000 is an all rounder - probably one of the best in that class, but I never intend to hook solar up to these units, or to get extension batteries, or to use them as 12V charging. If I manage to get out of my shithole rental and buy a house I aim to get a whole solar setup, really like the Anker E10 system, and that would handle all the solar I'd want to have and tick all the other boxes that the S2000 isn't really designed to cover. The S2000s on that system would augment something like an E10 very well, while the C2000 would be redundant (plus I have some pecrons that are not in UPS rotation but used as all rounders for emergencies).
So if I had to use it as an example of what power stations can do...id never buy one.
