Ryobi 40V 1800W Power Station RYi1802B6 Review

I've been waiting for Ryobi to come out with a large inverter / Powerstation for a while. Finally they have come out with a 1800W pure sinewave system that uses up to four of their 40V batteries. Unfortunately the product falls short. Here are my test results so far. I'll probably be returning the system :-(

Pros:
Nice packaging, 5 Year Warranty, hot swap batteries, can mix different size batteries, you already own batteries, Bluetooth App

Cons:
No regulated 12V Cigarette Socket, Can't Charge & use at same time, Only 2.1A USB, Can't run Microwave, Not 18V battery Compatible, USB Type C compatibility issues, Need 4 Batteries for large loads, Poor Display, No Watt meter, No MPPT solar charging.
