What's good
- 6,000-cycle rating is the best battery spec on this page — double some competitors
- 2,600 W runs a space heater or window AC with headroom to spare
- 1,000 W solar input recharges it in a realistic day of sun
What's not
- No published 240 V or transfer-switch story at this tier — it's an outlet machine, not a circuit machine
- 53 lb with no wheels
Our verdict
The value engineering pick. Capacity, inverter and especially cycle life per dollar are unmatched in the 2 kWh class right now. If home backup means the refrigerator, the furnace blower via an extension cord, and the internet — not whole circuits — this covers it for years of cycling.
