3.7/5
A 2kWh home-backup station with enough output for most household circuits and room to expand to 10 kWh. A good fit for buyers who want to start mid-size and grow later.

Pros
- 3000W continuous output runs a space heater, microwave or window AC on one outlet
- Expands from 2 to 10 kWh with extra batteries, so it can grow into a home-backup system
- 1000W of solar input across two ports refills it in a few sunny hours
- Anderson and 12V car outputs run fridges and other 12V gear directly
- Very quiet at moderate household loads
Cons
- Heavy at about 49 lb, more a roll-around than a carry-around unit
- Only four AC outlets for a 3000W station
- Lost about a fifth of its rated capacity in independent testing
