Searching for a smaller (more compact) alternative to the PIP-1012LV-MS all-in-one system

I'm searching for a smaller, reliable, all-in-one system. I love the PIP-1012LV-MS recommended here, but I'm looking for something that has a smaller footprint if it exists. If it has a lower capacity, that's okay too. Can anyone recommend some options?

The only thing smaller would be if you use a solar generator (Jackery or the like). you could de-package it and connect it to a larger battery however that is going to be an involved DIY task.

Yeah, having one of those units I can say the footprint is pretty small. Eco-Worthy used to sell a 600w version that is physically smaller, but they're Tier 6 out of 5 tiers on quality. I have one I was using for demonstration purposes but I've never been brave enough to push it to its limits.

If you weren't in Wales I'd offer to sell you mine.

Lol, is the quality really that bad?

Well, many of their AIO's have been known to have 3 listings for PVInput Max between the manual and the sticker, then refuse to replace when you overvolt.

As a super basic unit it would probably work OK for some lights and such but I wouldn't trust my Harbor Freight power tools to not pop it.

If you wanted to be a little creative, you could grab a Licetti 1kw battery box and just use the lid with all the guts.
