The benefit of building it into an appliance is that the device itself is certified, and you don't need an electrical inspection for just plugging it in.

They mentioned adding a built-in outlet so that you could then have something else be on battery backup as well (fridge being the obvious application). I'm not sure if they ended up adding that for this version or not.
