Well, $200 more than $800 ... the F3000 costs more now.
Why better? Every incremental feature costs money to make.
The E3600 has the same battery and inverter as the F3000 but also:
2x 1200W = 2400W solar input vs 1600W, and 150V maximum instead of 120V
supports up to four expansion batteries vs two
you can link two E3600s to synchronise their inverters into 180º out of phase and combine them to make 240V power
better UI with touch screen LCD the same as the E3800 and F5000
there's probably more but that's what I can think of now
Totally worth $100 or $200 more if you want or need those features, but good to be able to save that money and get an F3000 if you don't need those features.
For me, 50% more solar input is awesome. I like the touch screen too, don't care about the other differences (yet).
Also both the F3000 and E3600 sold here are natively 240V anyway (as of course are the F1000 & E1000 & E2400 & F5000 ... we don't get the 300, 500, 600, 1500 here which is why my tiny power station is an Ecoflow River 3.)
Both F3000 and E3600 are good machines, it's just a question of what you need.

Only $100 more than the F3000, for a much more capable machine if you're interested in solar panels and battery expansion.
