EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max Plus

Big enough to run most household appliances (including a kettle) but still merchandised as 'portable' by EcoFlow. A strong middle ground if the smaller DELTA 3 isn't enough but a fixed home-backup unit is overkill.

Jackery Explorer 500 v2

The 6,000-cycle rating is the headline here, roughly double most rivals in this size class, so it should outlast years of regular use. 500W output is enough for small appliances and charging gear, not a kettle.
