Wow, I thought it was a good price when I bought this a few months ago at $630-ish. This is just amazing. I really wasn’t planning on another one. Tempting though…
So if it’s $140ish cheaper, get 4, which will mean that you’re saving $560, and then you can get a 5th one with some of that saved money.
Froody will be doing my taxes from now on. Who’s going to visit me in Levanworth?
That might be up @daveinwarshington’s alley.
“Limit 3 per customer”
This checks all my boxes. LFP, 2kwh, 2200w max, all sorts of input/output and $.25/wh price.
Anyone has experience with this brand? I’ve never heard them before. The dominators of this market seems to be brands like Anker/ecoflow/Jackery etc.
Some Wooters have. There’s more discussion in a prior thread:
IDEAPLAY SN2200 Portable Power Station, 2000Wh
(Note that I am not staff. I just volunteer to help out on the forums.)
$0.25/wh is about as cheap as just a battery.
Looks like a closeout since it’s only has a Woot warranty.
I’ll have to recalculate the numbers for @BenTheGrey later.
Generator? Not really a generator if it can’t generate electricity. You need to buy solar panels for it to do that.
It’s basically a backup power supply without them.
That’s what they call the other one that you have to buy gas for.

But it’s still being sold by the company at Amazon for $1200!!!
Why does it say in the specs it has a 4 stroke engine and runtime of 4 hours?
This is in no way a “generator”. It’s a storage device. It drives me crazy when companies call these battery packs “generators”.
Will this power a full-size refrigerator? That’s the one thing I most need during an outage.
I have 0 electrical understanding so question if anyone can help. I was looking for a battery backup for a sump pump when power is out. I know the run time will vary based on usage, but it’s this a reasonable use case for when power would go out in rainstorms and the pump will be running every minute or two? I would like to get something that would be able to last at least 6 to 8 hours in that situation. Thanks to anyone who can answer.
Intuitively, I’d think if it can power a hair dryer with ease, a fridge or freezer should be no problem.
It’s literally the only thing for which I’d be buying it as well. Though still on the fence, given how few power outages we have.
Heh, imported straight from Amazon. I’ll ask the team to clean ours up.
Agree. Unfortunately, that’s how this company describes it even on their own site.
