If you're in a grid down in the northeast during winter, you will need it to power electric heaters. Sounds like a lithium battery will fail that need. So you answered that question for me. These battery power stations are for light power needs like charging phones, tv, lights and a small fan.

Great review! I'm a lucky one who got this discounted at Wellbots for $1050. It's best application is for the camper/overlander types (i.e. occasional users) where it's "lower" claimed cycle life will be almost unnoticeable. Having used it for a while now im of the mind that the lower round trip energy efficiency is due to all of the safety electronics and fans running essentially non-stop. Many may not like that but I think it's a great thing for the health of the batteries and electronics. While the fast charging and 1800W capabilities are great in a pinch, definitely don't do that often for the sake of battery life. Cheers!

Finally... Yeah!! Im new to this portable generator game. But i purchased it for my townhome in SC. Lights were out for 3 days few years ago. Had to rent a hotel room. I did not think you were going to test this product. So, I purchased this last week, at a discount and waiting on arrival. I love its quick charge, and the ability to run my cooking appliance(s) for a 3-5 day black out. I also brought jackery 240 at a discount for internet wifi, and small plug-in night lite, and light charging when im away. Not too pleased with the couple cons on Delta, but hey, will get most of the job done... Thank you for the detailed review!

@anonimity1698 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your review! Good information and details. Early adopter here (bought on Kickstarter). I chose this over the Bluetti 1500W because of the higher input voltage requirement on the Bluetti (covered on your first test video for that product). The Kickstarter price of $900 helped in that decision. I was also looking at the Titan, but the Delta1300 seemed a bit more portable and price-effective (had to purchase two of them though). For my use-case (extended weekend camping in the summer), the Delta1300 works well. I can power my camp kitchen (including a 700W microwave oven, a chest fridge, and a separate chest freezer) and all of my electronics from my two units using two Dokio 300W folding panels in series and chaining the Deltas. Yes, I'm over-paneled; but I can't always count on full sun. If ordered REALLY early, the Delta1300 was only $800 at initial offering, with an even better discount when multiple units were purchased (yeah, I missed out on that). I see EF still hasn't corrected the size of the neutral blade on the AC outlets. When using a grounded plug, everything should be fine, but using a "polarized" non-grounded plug, the Neutral and Hot are backwards. Not a major issue if all of your appliances are in good condition as the ground doesn't exist and Neutral is floating anyway. I just hoped they would correct this on the next production run.

Outstanding review! Your analysis of the tradeoffs was right on. I do not know what possessed me to pay for one through the kick start program. I first chose the lower wattage model and then upgraded for the higher wattage model. It was a really good deal at the time and I guess it was. Both of my large capacity solar generators EMP proof bags. What I am looking forward is the reduction in price of LiFePO4 batteries and the application in large capacity solar generators and plug and play stationary power storage systems fed off solar arrays.

I bought two of these, as the chain function "sounded" neat, and they were $799ea on crowdfunding. However: 1) It is not a great inverter. a. neither will run my 12" radial saw, but a 2000w Xantrek + Valence battery will b. no inverter should have to have its cooling fans on w/o any load connected, and they are LOUD 2) The Round Trip efficiency came out to 58% and 60% on these units, the worse I have ever tested. This is with fully charging, giving it a 2hr dwell time, then fully discharging, all @64°F. (Let me put it another way; you put $100 in the bank, but only get $58 to $60 back.) 3) People need to stop falling for EcoFlow's fluff- the standard for solar panel or lithium life is 80%. EcoFlow just doesn't want to admit that they only give 500 cycles until you reach that. Take 60% of the measured output today on a new unit, and ask yourself if you want to lug 31+pounds for that reduced round trip inefficiency. 4) EcoFlow promised they would replace the batteries for free (you pay round trip shipping, which isn't cheap on lithium) once they get below 60%, but I have yet to hear of anyone having luck with that yet. Nor do I trust them, as I told them my round trip test results and said I wanted to return them for a refund...crickets. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I just picked up the River Pro and found the same lack of efficiency. I can't believe more reveiwers don't pick up on it and just focus on the fancy bells and whistles. So far I was only able to pull around 493-526 watts out of 720 watts advertised using AC. Recharging requires over 900 watts. Luckily I caught it on sale at Costco with easy returns. Waiting to see what the new Jackerys promise.

Great informative review. I have one. My use is for periodic blackouts. This morning we had a blackout at 6am and the electric company stated power would be on at 10:30 am. We have a 10-year-old in the online school. I need the router to come on quick fast and a hurry. I had to iron, and I set up one big screen tv. The Ecoflow works well in this niche, which is staying at home due to COVID-19, child or children, items like microwave, flat-screen, and powering lights directly and bringing online Amazon's Alexa. I can assure you, people like me will be considering a power supply throughout this pandemic. With this kind of usage, once to four times a year, I am sure the service life will be long. I don't believe this kind of use of the charge cycle will make me feel cheated. I forwarded this one to my buddy, he also listened for your review about the Beaudens power station. Would you consider articulating scenario(s) to include the utility of reviewed products for First Responders? I have already subscribed great review.

Another excellent video, per your usual standard. I think it would be hilarious if you started out your video showing a "solar generator" (the sun) and then a 3-in-1 battery/charger/inverter. At some point, you really should do a review of the Titan. Each component piece of the Titan weighs almost exactly as much as the EcoFlow Delta 1300. It's about the same price per watt/hr, but has a much more powerful inverter, along with far better specifications, across the board. If price is no object, and you can accept two units weighing about 35lbs each as "portable", then the Titan is the absolute best in class for all of these products labeled as solar generators. It's probably not the right unit for someone in an RV, but is a very good option for off-grid cabins and such. Thanks for reviewing so many of the common, affordable, and truly portable solar generators.

Flower Child: the jackary is just a battery like the power banks (batteries) that you use to charge your phone on the go. You have to charge the power banks in order to give them power to charge your phone or whatever that can connect to it. We charge our power banks at home using a wall outlet with a micro usb cable. You charge this jackary battery like that too or with solar panels. That’s it. What this guy is doing in this video is mostly for his own entertainment. He’s not teaching anything so don’t expect to learn from it. Take a class on the stuff if you really want to learn the language and math and concepts. But it’s not needed. The jackary is just a fucking power bank. Which is cool.

A very interesting review and extremely helpful for me. A friend just bought one and asked me of my opinion so that’s why I came to you to find out what I must to offer some informed advice. This is the looks of things a good unit but the reason why my friend bought it (and I was looking to buy one too after he mentioned it but before seeing this video 👍🥴) Is this. We are in the Australian Outback with our Cars and are self sufficient in all aspects but powering our 2 portable fridges ( Waeco CFx 60/70 liter type) plus charging our Detectors and keeping our auxiliary batteries ( i have 4 AGM 105 W/hr deep cycle batteries i use for all that) to keep these fully charged on Solar is a real battle as you can understand. So my question is this… Knowing I have a MacBook Pro, plus constantly charge 12 volt accessories plus having 2 x 60 liters Waeco CFX portable fridges/ Freezers connected to my auxiliary battery setup (and I do need to keep them running at -14 degrees Celsius during the day at the very least) what do YOU recommend as a ideal setup for my or my friends needs?? I really would love your feedback and thoughts on this as I must replace ALL my batteries and hence need to buy something that will provide me with the capacity to power all my stuff. The heat in the Australian Outback can exceed 60 degrees Celsius during the day in summer very easily and nighttime is around 28-32 degrees Celsius on a bad day. What would you recommend I choose for batteries and a power station?? I currently have 4 x 120 watt 12 volt foldable Solar panels plus 2 fixed panels on my Car roof and trailer 100 Watt and a 160 WATT panel…….once all are connected that offers me a total of around 700 WATT but the Solar charge controller I have is crap and It doesn’t input the power as I had hoped to keep my batteries fully charged. I would welcome and definitely need advise on how to get the best setup with what I have as I only go to town every few month…..Indo have a Yamaha 2.4KWa generator but the fuel is getting very expensive and I am hence looking at a solution such as the Ecoflow OR the ones that are similar but not as expensive and have a much better battery capacity as you rightly pointed out.. Sorry this is a long message and an unusual request I dare say but I am hoping ypu can offer some sound advice to both me and my friend 🙏🏼 Thank you for an excellent review and I subscribed and look forward to your reply. Regards Jim 🤠

Wow, I wish I seen this video before I Purchased my Ecoflow from Amazon yesterday. What’s disappointing to me is I can’t recharge it from 500 watt bestek inverter that I carry in my van. I think I was much happier just using my Arkpak 730p.

I have two of the delta units. I paid $800 for one, and $900 for the other new. I love them. They work great! I have a Monster X on order, can't wait to try that. It's going to be 1700 wh.

I just canceled my Jackery Explorer 1000 order in favor of the Delta 1300. This model is more like a true 1KW solar plant, the solar panels are foldable and waterproof, and I can put 3 of them in series to get a solar charge without impacting battery durability. The $300 price difference isn't much for me and as far as the increased weight in the Delta, that's in part because the power supply is built-in. With the Jackery, you incur the additional weight in the humongous external power brick. (My only regret is that they made this thing look like a PowerMac G4. I hate Macs!) Great review! Sub'd.

I watched so many videos on power banks. For what I need this will work fine for emergencies. I bought the Delta and also bought the River as well for a CPAP in an emergency. I paid $1980 for both, including 160w panel and 2 solar lights. Not bad. I like how I can change settings to 1800w and can add xtra battery to River. So these should last for years and will be a compliment to the gas generator. I may even but another Delta if the prices continue to drop. I saved a total of $250 on the both Ecoflos..

I got exactly those two ecos. I was wondering have you tried running it while having a solar panel charging it same time. I want to run a small AC

@pamelarising344 2 жыл бұрын

@@kimd7866 It is a UPS (uninterrupted power source) so yes you can charge while using. My daughter keeps her CPAP plugged into the river so when power goes out she won't wake up.

I like the ECOFLOW product designs and the displays, but I've heard from other reviewers that the recharging and inverter are both quite inefficient, well below the efficiency of competing units. Also, 800 cycles for battery life seems low - that's just over two years of daily use.

I think it might be helpful to address the Ecoflow customer service. From their forum experience and comments it appears it's very lacking. Shipping has been an issue also for many Kickstarter customers. Hopefully they will improve soon if they intend to be a viable competitor!

Here is a question. Instead of tieing 3 units together, I would think, by what you showed. It might be better to use 1 unit, and then batteries after that. It seems like it would be cheaper and more efficient.

Hey hey Hobo. I have an ecoflow delta. Would I be able to plug a 3 ft metal power strip into the delta and then run various gear off of the power strip? I have a unique situation in my small camper that I'm wondering if that scenario would work. Thanks again for all the cool videos!

According to the manual, my microwave cooks at 950W but draws 1200W. It's likely not all the inefficiency is in the Ecoflow's inverter. Great review overall though. I know its old and not Lipo but for $435 refurb from Ecoflow eBay certified I went for it. I don't plan on it ever being used for close 500 cycles.
