If you’re looking for a powerstation that has the best features in its class, the Delta Pro is the way to go. I spent months doing research between different brands to find a powerstation that fit my needs. Ecoflow surpassed all the others with the best specs. The ecosystem is upgradeable, and we recently added on another Delta Pro and preordered the a/c unit.
Purchasing my delta pros has been the best investment ever. I feel confident that in the event of an emergency, these generators will provide energy for me and my entire household without interruption for at least a few days. Works great. Thank you EcoFlow!
Always impress by EcoFlow as a product company coming out with new products. I purchased the Delta Pro through kickstarter and could not be happier with the purchase. Everything feels solid from the wheels to the suitcase style handle. Was pestimistic on the stoutness of the handle, but was proven wrong. Only complaint I have and of course knew this going in is the weight, 100lbs. Found it more challenging to move up and out of the truck. Other than that, no regrets!
Missed out on the Kick Starter pricing and delivery so had to wait until the items were in stock again. Started with the Delta Pro than the Pro battery followed up with a 400 watt solar panel than finally the Smart generator. About a year ago I purchased a tri-fuel generator but it is so loud that the world would know you have power. Between the solar panel and generator the system seems complete. Solar is quiet and the generator is also quiet, you can have a conversation with someone standing next to the generator without shouting or wearing hearing protection. Oh, by the way sold the tri-fuel generator.
Tried out the Delta Pro by itself running my refrigerator. Starting at 100% charge, it ran my large refrigerator about 40 hours and still has some power left. I feel very confident that the system will help me from loosing food in the next power outage.
Camping delight! No more noisy, smelly, generator!

This has really upped our boondocking game. We have the EcoFlow River Max, which gives us about a day of power for our camper van, running a sink water pump, mini-fridge, lights, and a pot or two of coffee. We just returned from our first camping trip with the Delta Pro and it allowed us to do everything we did with the River Max and more for nearly a week on a single charge. The main appeal of the Delta Pro is the ability to power larger AC appliances. We now have a microwave, 5000Btu AC unit, and are considering an induction cooktop for our camper van. We have not done a full drawdown test on the AC loads yet, but I expect 6-7 hours of run time out of the Air Conditioner...maybe more if I cycle it. With the larger draw items, we will need to recharge the Delta Pro on the go, which is the one area that could use some improvement. When charging from a car outlet (12v) the Delta Pro seems to be pulling more amps than it should, and blows fuses (on the car). We had the same issue with the River Max, and EcoFlow was awesome about releasing firmware updates that fixed the charging problem. I like how the app allows you to select the charging current from 4, 6, or 8 amps to limit the draw on thinner vehicle wiring. In our case, the Delta Pro will not charge above 4 amps from a 12v source, or it will blow a fuse (15 amp fuses). I believe the issue is that the charge (4amps x 12v = 50w) PLUS whatever DC load is being drawn from the Delta Pro (lights, fridge, fan) are all coming through the charging cable. So if I have 50w of charge coming in, and 150w of load, it appears that 200w is coming through the DC charge cable, when it should only be 50w. I'm really not dunking on EcoFlow about this, since we had the same problem when the River was new and their firmware updates fixed it. Really though, charging this from 12v is silly. There are so many better and faster ways to charge this, and wow is it fast from an AC source!
On wheels, lots of inverter capacity,& expandable.

After owning an EcoFlow R600 Pro when looking for a larger capacity watt hour power station and larger inverter my husband & I looked at all options available and selected the EcoFlow Delta Pro. Living in Florida we get lots of hurricanes and this power station was purchased to handle the power outages that happen. We've done a test run for a few days and we're all set when the power inevitably goes out next time. At the moment we're deciding whether to add on an extra battery to handle a longer outage. We've already purchased one EcoFlow 400W foldable solar panel and we're considering a second one as well. Living in a condo a solar generator fits the bill as gas & propane aren't allowed onsite here. Great product. Performs exactly as desired.
I was very excited to finally received my first ever Kickstarter support back in February. My contribution was made in September 2021. So five months was a long wait for me in the seventh coldest capital city in the world, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
It arrived with about 30% charged. I don't know if it was shipped at around that rate. Or was it fully charged at the factory and it had lost 70% by the time it got to me.
I am impressed that it really does only takes about 2 hours to charge a totally drained unit. I did that once. Since then I switched it to slow charge because is better for battery longevity. It takes about 9 hrs at 400 watt/hr plugged into a wall outlet. It is noisy enough that I can hear the fans a floor above at night when it is quiet all around.
We have yet to have a power outage. So I didi the following two tests.
I have a fridge that I bought second hand 23 years ago. So I don't know how old it is. You can imagine how inefficient it is compare to current models. My initial calculation was 152 watts for about 10 hrs a day. So at 36,000 wh, my DeltaPro should run the fridge 2.4 days. Turned out it lasted 4.5 days. I wasn't around when DeltaPro was drained.
Then I carried this 100 Lbs unit upstairs to my office to run my laptop. My initial calculation was 90 watts. So my DeltaPro should last about 40 hrs. It shut itself off when it got down to 1%. Turned out it lasted 45 hrs over 24 days.
I plug my cell phone charger into the usb ports. The display shows 7 watts. However if I plug that charger into one of the 120v outlet the display doesn't show any wattage used. My cell is at 60% and shows that it is being charged. Why is that? Could it be that 7 watt is below the detectable range of the 120v outlet circuitry?
I have also purchased an EcoFlow 400 watt foldable solar panel.
I did plugged in the solar panel once. The display did registered the connection with only a light bulb in front of it. The problem I have is to disconnect one of the plugs. One works fine connecting and disconnecting. But the other one was really difficult to unplug. I have tried a few different grip positions and pressed on different part of both ends of connectors. The next thing I will do is to spray it with silicone spray.
I will test the panel soon.
All and all I am happy with my emergency investment.
Preppers would love this unit. I purchased this to charge via my roof solar panels should the power go out for an extended period. I hope to get some more portable panels in the near future. I'm confident this until will meet my power needs in an extended grid down scenario. Things like a refrigerator, lights and maybe even the microwave. Thanks for such a great product. Tried to get a smaller unit 2 years ago from another company via indiegogo...disaster. Still waiting, and may never actually see the product and even if I do, I'm not sure I'll have confidence it won't burn my house down.
