Our verdict
A generator replacement in a box. 5040Wh and 7200W with 240V output — it competes with standby generators, not power stations.
Best for: Whole-home backup where a gas generator isn't an option.

- 14400W surge starts virtually anything
- 5400W solar input is the highest here
- 120V/240V for hard-wired loads
Where it falls short
- 145.5 lb — wheels required, not portable
- $3499
