Our verdict

Its price is $0.490 per Wh. The Pecron E1500LFP is $549 at $0.357 per Wh. The VTOMAN Jump 1800 is $499 at $0.354 per Wh. It has less capacity than the 1,536 Wh and 1,408 Wh peers. It outputs 2,000 W with 4,000 W surge.

It ranks #11 of 17 home backup, #13 of 31 under $1,000, #10 of 15 under $2,000, #15 of 18 expandable, #41 of 50 solar, #37 of 53 lightweight. Jackery's page says the extra battery pack is discontinued and sold out, so expansion may be hard to use. UPS time and wall charging are not stated. The price is a sale.

Buy it for a compact 2,000 W unit if you will not expand. Skip it if you count on adding the battery pack.
