After a lot of debate I purchased two of these around a week or so ago. Feeding Gemini the stats and Duquesne Light's ToU prices it found that I could theoretically achieve a 3 year RoI period if I can offset the full capacity everyday for 3 years and that at the end of this period it should have around only 4% capacity degradation. This is including tax on the sale and for power losses going AC->DC->AC.
Pretty good IMO, especially when you consider Storm Guard can run in the background and override ToU planning if there's a NWS storm warning. I have one running as a fridge backup and ToU offseter. I logged the daily power draw on my fridge and it's right around 1kW a day. So for ~$600 I have a fridge backup that should last a very long time, can backup the fridge for 2 days, and is slowly paying itself off while taking up about the same room as the lunchbox next to it on top of the fridge.
The other one is running our second floor office window unit A/C as a ToU offset specifically, since it can definitely burn through 2 kW in the 6 hour peak-use period. It's been running without issue so far. In case of a storm, it'll also juice up to 100% and i have 2kW place wherever it's needed in the house. If they run out, my truck's 100ish kW battery can always top them up in an hour. Debating buying a third for the basement dehumidifier that pulls 3-4 kW a day.
Usually these are for camping, off grid and backup power. For people on expensive Time of Use (TOU) plans like California PG&E, there could be a use case here to run a window or portable air conditioner off this during peak times, then charge this with solar or off peak grid power. The savings would be small, not worth it for most people. But since this is rated for up to 10000 charge cycles (until capacity drops to 60%) and the inverter is so efficient, this could be viable for TOU power flexing to save a little money or offset some of the cost.
The Anker SOLIX S2000 stands out as a compact, efficient 2,010Wh portable power station that works especially well for UPS backup and time of use load shifting. The low idle draw, high inverter efficiency, and 35 to 36 pound weight make it unusually portable for its capacity, and the app, Storm Guard, and fast switchover add real utility. It can run fridges, window air conditioners, and other household loads for backup or peak shaving. Main drawbacks are the 1,500W to 1,800W output ceiling, 400W solar input, no 12V output, and a fan that can get loud under load. It is a strong fit when efficiency and size matter more than raw output.
Home backup users wanting a compact UPS, because it has UL1778 switchover, low idle draw, and enough capacity to keep essentials running longer than a typical computer UPS.
People on time-of-use electricity plans, because it can charge off-peak and discharge during peak hours to offset higher rates.
RV and camping users needing a lightweight two-kilowatt-class battery, because it weighs about 36 pounds while still delivering strong runtime efficiency.
Households backing up a refrigerator or window air conditioner, because it can run those loads for hours and still leave meaningful battery remaining.
Desktop computer owners needing graceful shutdowns, because it cannot automatically warn the computer before the battery runs down.
Homes with a 12V fridge or other 12V-only gear, because it has no 12V output.
Users who need high continuous AC output, because the inverter tops out at 1500W and can feel weak versus larger competitors.
People who will keep it near a desk or bedroom, because the fan can growl loudly under load even on the latest firmware.
The inverter idles under 6W and reaches about 96% efficiency, which can extend runtime between charges.
The biggest limits are 1500W AC output, 400W solar input, and no 12V output for a 12V fridge. It also only supports 2.4GHz Wi‑Fi for TOU setup and can be less suitable for devices that need graceful shutdown or higher surge capacity.
It appears to be a regular sale price rather than a deep MSRP cut, and several comments suggest it is already near the best value for its capacity. A lower Black Friday price is possible, but expectations are only for a modest drop, roughly into the mid-$500s.
Yes. It has UL1778 switchover UPS certification and can charge off-peak while discharging during peak hours, making it useful for backup power and TOU savings. The TOU mode depends on Wi‑Fi, and if Wi‑Fi drops it falls back to UPS mode instead of continuing the scheduled peak discharge.
The fan is the main complaint: it can be unusually loud, growly, and more noticeable than the decibel rating suggests, even at low RPM. Latest firmware does not appear to eliminate it, so it may matter if the unit will sit near a desk or living space.
Yes for moderate backup loads: one unit reportedly ran a side-by-side refrigerator for about 16 hours with 42% battery remaining, and another setup was used as a fridge backup for about two days. For multi-day outages, a larger battery may be needed to avoid frequent generator runs.

Does seem to be a regular "sale" price with the other price being MSRP. Still the cheapest and best WH deal you can get. Will be interesting to see if the price goes down for black friday. If it does I suspect not much since it's already well priced and a new product.

Suspect these are new product sale prices to boost reviews

Solid deal. Under $600 after tax and cashback ordering from ankersolix website. Inverter idle power draw under 6 watts and 96% efficient inverter means longer runtime. Several YouTube videos praise the efficiency and runtime after testing this. Very compact and lightweight for 2 KWHr. S2000 is 36 pounds compared to Ecoflow Delta 2 Max which is 50 pounds. The main drawbacks are 400 watts solar input and 1800 watts max output. S2000 is a new model and I would not be surprised if price goes up after these sales end.

How'd you get it under $600 after tax?

I have x2 myself. They're fantastic for UPS use (I get ToU next year and they'll also manage that).
Just watch the Storm Guard - when it kicks on it'll automatically go to 1600W charge; two of them in a room will trip my breakers. Pretty sure they'll sort that in a software/firmware update, however.
I got one of these on the early bird deal for the time-of-use mode. My peak electric rate is about 40% higher than off-peak, which more than makes up for the inefficiency.
You have to set up an online account to setup WiFi (as opposed to just using local Bluetooth). It only works on 2.4Ghz networks.
The TOU mode only works if the device is connected to Wifi. If the WiFi disconnects, it defaults to UPS mode and won't automatically switch to battery during the peak period. It will do this even if it's in the middle of a peak period, i.e, it'll switch back to AC input, if available, even though it knows that it's in a peak period.
The switching time seems to be fast enough for all of the electronics that I've tried, but I wouldn't use this with something that needs to shutdown gracefully when the power runs out, like a desktop computer, since there's no way for it to automatically communicate that the battery is about to run down.

Did you change the charge wattage in the app?
Keep in mind that it may pull recharge watts plus pass-through watts
Maybe dumb question but is this better\worse\same as a similarly priced computer UPS? Is it the ability to charge with solar that's differentiates it from a 'regular' computer UPS? If no difference that's ok I'm wondering if I should consider this type of power backup instead.

Found that out the hard way when I started getting warnings of air quality and it turned on and my breakers tripped.
I'm assuming it's a simple fix in the firmware where they'll allow for an option that says 'when storm guard activates, charge at chosen rate'.
