Pros
  • Native 120/240V output runs well pumps, dryers and other 240V loads
  • NEMA 14-50 outlet can plug straight into an RV or an EV charging cable
  • Expands to about 27 kWh with add-on batteries, or 53.8 kWh with two units
  • Usually several hundred dollars cheaper than the F3800 Plus
Cons
  • 132.3 lb, so it moves on its wheels rather than by hand
  • Delivered about 78% of rated capacity in the StorageReview test
  • 1,800W AC charging means hours to refill 3.84 kWh from the wall
  • Less solar input (2,400W) and no generator bypass, unlike the F3800 Plus
