Pros & Cons
Pros
Kudos to the seller for impeccable customer service. What you need to do is power it all off, and then reboot then the screen seems to update. This is my favorite now, it's literally silent, not a peep.
The blueti is well built and sturdy.
Eb240 has more stored power and being more portable with faster solar charging. No lugging it around. Ease of use and recharging makes the weight less of an issue.
Cons
Bluetti's customer service is notoriously bad so good luck getting any help from them as well. Very disappointing after spending 1800 cad. Sent back for refund.
Bluetti cfx 50 has a terrible battery life. Ac power meter is incredibly inaccurate and won't show what the draw is if its anywhere below 200watts. When charging from solar array bms is reporting wrong charge and %.
Highlights
Competitiveness
There is a learning curve, but far less than a diy pv system or residential-scale all-in-one systems.
I have used it to run many 120v appliances, but pay close attention to the total wattage as overload will trigger the auto-shut off.

Note there are only 1500 w to use not 2000 which was infuriating until i learned to use it efficiently

Do not fool yourself into thinking you will just plug in a solar panel and have unlimited power forever

If you actually want to use it for an offgrid living situation the unit needs to be paired with a a wind turbine or pico hydro setup b a small low db generator and a second ac charging connector or c both in an ideal world

If the unit shuts after you use all the charge you must wait until it charges to about 34 before switching turning things on again

This caused a lot of anger before figuring it out

Eventually i did upgrade to a massive system with a 12kw lithium battery and 10kw inverter but in hindsight i would have just purchased another bluetti system with wifi monitoring and expandable capacity
