I still prefer Anker Solix even though it's a bit more. App is much better and usually better solar specs.

So I basically cut about 5-6kWh (especially M-F from 2pm-7pm during summer months June - September) usage and charge the portable power stations overnight between 11p-7am at $0.023/kWh. I also use them during all other days when the rate is $0.104/kWh. My rough calculation tells me I can save about $235-$285 a year (90 days of high summer peak rate + 275 days of regular off peak rate if I shift that to overnight super off peak rate) . The rates mentioned are before tax and fees (environmental recovery/fuel cost surcharge/etc.). I understand the I am losing some energy when converting from DC -> AC and again from AC -> DC. But even if I am losing 25%, that only makes the overnight rate of $0.023/kWh to about $0.345/kWh. I can still save about $215-$260 a year. Even if I am losing 50%, that will make the cost of overnight charging to $0.046 and I should still save between $195-$250. Will see how that goes.
They all offer 5-6 years warranty and 10 year life (more than 3000 charge/discharge cycles). Hopefully, they are all still in business in the next 5-6 years.
If your load staying on is important, you should get the real deal
Another important thing is that a decent UPS can communicate with your computer to gracefully shut it down before the power runs out while these units cannot do that
However, you can only drop these off at actual FedEx Ship Centers (no FedEx Office) due to the hazardous materials placarding. These locations tend to be very inconvenient, and, if there isn't one nearby, you could be SOL.
Also, depending on the brand, there's different labels they use. My eco worthy return had to be picked up by FedEx ground, but the Anker s2000 I sent back was accepted at an office depot FedEx stand. They did have different stickers on the boxes.

I don't have the time to wait around for a driver to come by, but, it doesn't matter because FedEx won't pick up at my address, anyway.
I don't think that the Office Depot is supposed to take hazardous materials, either, but the associate that accepted your package probably didn't look at or understand the placards, let alone know the restrictions.
