My purpose of getting an Ecoflow is to use it as an UPS as I’ve discovered Power Loss Recovery doesn’t really work if outage is longer than a few minutes.
Computer UPS can save the day ONLY if power outage lasts a few minutes, longer than that you can kiss the print job goodbye. Plus Computer UPS battery needs to be replaced every 3 years or so, my 4 years old 1500W UPS can’t charge pass 10% now and replacement battery costs $200.
Ecoflow’s MSRP is a marketing gimmick. Delta 2 for example, MSRP is $1000 but true price is $650 with “coupon”.
I didn’t plan on using solar panels, but Ecoflow eBay store offers refurbished Delta 2 + 220W panel for $719 was too good to pass on lol. Plus I live in Southern California where 90% of year are sunny days, I figure why not. We’ll see how it goes.
