Hello, I hope some one will be able to assist. I have been looking at buying a UPS for myself about 1kW-3kW wouldbe ideal. I have checked out a couple brands and I am just not sure what to pick. I can say Bluetti prices are hectic, Ecoflow seems quite a good choice but I have been hearing alot about how the service for it isnt great. I also found one called Lumo Powerall series, the specifications seem really good but I cant find any reviews on them. I saw Jackery aswell but I wasnt completely sold on them. Lastly I saw Genki, also minimal information on the quality of those. I would prefer the UPS to not use the XT solar connectors, MC4 would be best. Any assistance would be much appreciated!

Eco-flow, Bluetti and the like are quite expensive, and really designed for providing a limited amount of power whilst you are camping. There are cheaper options. There are also specialist stores. 

You don't say where you live. If you are in Gauteng, and especially if you live in the north of Jo'burg, Midrand, Sandton or even Centurion, you may want to pay a visit to Maiden Electronics. UPSs are their game, and they have a lot of experience (and they can service what they sell).

UPS is something else. 😜 

But I would not recommend these all in one solutions. Where if 1 thing breaks the whole thing must go in. Depending on the space you have, you could build a VERY simple solution of 2 to 3kw, from as little as R10K if you want to backup basics like light fridge TV/Computer etc
