It's a phenomenal deal, but I can't ship it anywhere. ME, MA, VA, CA... all ineligible.

They don't list capacity, but they do say the runtime is 3 minutes. 1350W * 3min / 60min/hr = 67Wh. A 1,000Wh Ecoflow can be purchased for cheaper. The gen 3 models have UPS-fast switchover.

I'm showing a little over 5mins on the product page: https://www.se.com/us/en/product/...h-avr-lcd/

However, that's still quite a difference in Wh compared to the Ecoflow.

I think this product is mainly aimed at AVR racks since it's a short depth unit (<12 inches). It does include the APC network management card, which are historically pretty expensive add-ons.

Data sheet says batteries are rated at 108W. Presumably not better than 80% efficient so maybe 80w ish?

Also no dice for FL, GA or KY…?

I even tried a dedicated Amazon staffed return/pickup center (not a locker or Whole Foods)

If it can't be shipped, does it still count as a slickdeal?!

Do not confuse EcoFlow/Bluetti/Anker/or any other portable power station with a true UPS like APC/Vertiv/CyberPower. They all provide power during a power outage, but the similarities end there.

None of the portable power stations provide any type of voltage regulation. So no voltage spike/sag protection.

Only one Ecoflow unit and GoldenMate offers any type of 2 way communication to support graceful shutdowns and monitoring. The EcoFlow has very limited UPS support. They have not added any new support in over a year. The GoldenMate sends false power outage alerts every few minutes. Their solution is to just disable monitoring and 2 way communication.

If all you want is to power devices in the event of a power outage, a portable power station is definitely the better option. If you want/need either of the two things I mentioned, stick to a real UPS.

Another option which I use, is a hybrid system. I run both. My devices connect to the UPS to provide clean power and graceful shutdown.The UPS is then connected to a portable power station for extended runtimes. The caveat is that UPSes (I've tested APC/CyberPower and Vertiv) will have a ground fault alarm when used with Anker (C100, C1000, C1000 Gen2, C2000, Powerhouse 767) and EcoFlow (Delta 3 Plus) due to how they implement their internal grounding system. This issue is not present in any of my Bluetti units (AC180, Elite 100v2, Elite 200v2, Elite 300v2, AC300, AC500).

Yeah, amazing deal but doesn't ship anywhere that anyone can confirm; so, more of a tease and not a slickdeal!

Just to think this was $450

Over the past year, the price of APC Smart-UPS 1500VA Lithium Ion UPS has ranged from $443.72 to $2,644.62. The current price is $1,895.00, which is $100.00 below the typical price of $1,995.00.
