We've tested this exact unit, and Mashable's Lauren Allain named it the "Best for Content Creators." During testing, Allain found it to be shockingly quiet (running at just 30 decibels) and was able to charge her phone and a camera battery while cooking dinner in an air fryer. If you do use it during a blackout, it can keep a fridge cooling for up to 40 hours.

The DJI Power 2000 offers a 2048Wh LFP battery and 3000W of stable output, meaning it can power 99 percent of common appliances, from kettles and cookers to projectors and electric saws. It only takes 55 minutes to charge to 80 percent, and it has 15 ports to keep your laptop, phone, and lights charged and ready to go.
