The Aferiy P280 (uk.aferiy.com/products/aferiy-p280-2800w-2048wh-portable-power-station?ref=GIDONREID) is a 2 kWh portable power station with a 2800 W inverter, 1800 W mains charging, and up to 1200 W of solar input.
It has six USB ports, including two 140 W USB-C, a 12 V 25 A DC output, support for expansion up to 10 kWh, and a 7-year warranty. As a lesser-known brand, it comes in at a very competitive price as well.
I’ve put it through a full set of real-world and controlled tests to uncover any issues and see how it really performs - to help you decide if it’s the right power station for you.
