The video review linked by the OP, claims the voltage drop at maximum draw as a setback, which it is if you have sensitive electronics attached at that load level. But how often are you going to be running a microwave at 2,400 watts, without worrying about a spike damaging the unit anyway? My opinion is that the voltage drop helps prolong the life of the unit, and is more of a benefit than a deficit.
I don't like that most reviewers leave out solar-over-AC charging priority, though, when the battery is at zero and the sun comes up, with the unit automatically charging. Most cheaper units don't reset, but the test should be an automatic for reviewers, like ReeWray Outdoors usually does. Unattended functionality is a plus for most.
Loud fan noise
Some notes I found interesting: The inverter starts at 110V which is a bit low already, and if you use a 50ft+ extension cord and pull say 1000W with this it's possible you end up with 100V at your load which is bad. As you add more load the voltage drops alarmingly as well. If you get to 2400W and above it just keeps dropping the voltage instead of tripping. The review shows under 90V at one point. This was tested at 1.7kwh capacity, so about 80% of rated capacity (85-88% is common in this class). My take: If you have non-sensitive equipment and want a battery that draws low wattage for a reasonable amount of time, this is decent. But this doesn't perform like other 2kwh batteries from what I've seen.

So long as you don't max up to the 2400W and limit your usage under 2000W load, the voltage drop in the youtube video hopefully will not trigger. this is a good price to take a risk.
