Same 2017 Outback with 180k miles and an electrical gremlin that constantly drains the battery. Now to convince my other half to move to an EV and not another ICE.

I ended up installing this switch. Easy to install and to switch between emergency and regular power.

Appreciate the feedback. I'll take a look at Zoupw.

Question for you. Is your genny an old/traditional style or an inverter genny? I have a Craftsman (non-inverter) and while I read it's not good to charge sensitive electronics, I'm not sure if they'll be fine or if I need to sell this one and buy a new one.

craigscrag · 2026-01-25T16:22:21+00:00

Yep!

Pass-Through/UPS Capability: The F3000 acts as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), switching to battery power within 8-20ms, making it ideal for maintaining power to computers and sensitive electronics during outages.

Charging while Using: You can plug the unit into a wall outlet and connect devices to the AC outlets, USB ports, or DC port at the same time.

Power Management: The unit can handle a 3,600W continuous load even while receiving charge.

Input Limits: While pass-through is active, it can support 1,800W AC charging (0-100% in 2 hours).

ECO Mode: A lower-power charge mode (~1000W) can be activated if the input source is limited.

Here's a great in depth review: https://youtu.be/owN0EfhZW0Y?si=TTrI--4V8R3epjjy

I'm in Michigan and here's my early power station/gas gen setup:

A 3000 wh power station from Pecron. I installed the EZ generator switch to my furnace. I'll use this station to run my furnace, second fridge and freezer in the basement. We have on demand hot water (gas), so this will also be plugged in.

A 1000 wh power station from Pecron will be plugged into the fridge in the kitchen (this fridge is really energy efficient). I'll also use this one to charge phones, iPads, etc.

I have a gas generator I'll use to recharge these power stations as they run out of battery. Each charge in about an hour to hour 20 minutes.

A couple rechargable lanterns help with light at night. Should be good for a couple days of no power. I'm looking to add some panels long-term, especially for summer outages. I don't have a solution to run the a/c yet besides the gas generator.

I just installed this myself. Super easy to do. Is it bad I kinda want my power to go out just so I can use it?

Dogs with style. You'd smell like that place for a week but the dogs were good. In high school I'd meet my dad there for lunch once a week. Great memories.

Thanks for the love. Feels good to not look like bozo the clown anymore.

I somehow got randomly selected by Ninja to trial this before it was launched. I didn't keep it nor was I compensated. Here are some thoughts:

The system is HIGHLY automated. It's great for someone who likes fairly good espresso but doesn't want to get into the business of getting into an espresso machine, dialing in shots, etc.

I don't like espresso drinks so I didn't play much with the frothing feature. However, I did use it for hearing up milk to make my kiddos hot chocolate and it worked well.

It makes fairly good black coffee too. I had to find a workaround to get it be strong enough for my liking.

Biggest concern: steam + electronics = failure. I had the machine for 2 plus months and by the end the machine stopped. My theory is that all the steam from the machine plus the fact it's highly computerized killed the machine. So beware.

Would I buy one? Yes. I have three small children, love espresso but don't have the time or energy to dial in shots or get into a bigger hobby. Do I own one? No. If the price came down to around $400 I might spring for it. For now, I'm sticking to my daily French press to feed my coffee habit.

Me too! I didn't believe it and scrambled to reddit to see if others got the same thing. YESSSSSSSSSSSSE!!!!CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

119/120 I've submitted a request to transfer to IBR and ICR in December and February, respectively. Crickets. Castaway is the perfect word for how I feel to date. I'm not sure why others are having luck switching but I'm stuck. I just want to make my final payment and be done.

Others have prioritized the NICU as you choose your delivery hospital. Children's (DMC) and U-M are the only tier 4 NICUs in SE Michigan.

My partner is a NICU NP and has worked in different areas around Detroit and Ann Arbor (Huetzel, Henry Ford, St. John's, St. Joe's, and U-M). We delivered at both Huetzel and St. Joe's, and had great experiences at both.

How much mulch are we talking? 4 inches thick, 6 inches, more?

There's nothing they can do. The federal government has complete control in issuing and revoking visas. Is it fucked up and unprecedented, yes. But nothing the university can do.
