You know human nature is funny. I just ordered the Delta-2, after a LOT of research; I haven’t even received it yet, but I saw & watched this video after the fact! Thanks for making me believe that I made the right choice! 😂
Lmao i did the same thing with a solar battery bank. After the review i watched i felt relieved 😅 my stressed questioning payed off, super excited to get the bank!
I agree, however all of the questions and comments I received were asking about this scenario. The delta 2 vs the Explorer 1000, which is why I posted this particular comparison.
Well I own Ecoflow 700 watt and Ecoflow 1300 watt. Love both. I am 93 years old and can’t handle anything heavier. Also own a Jackery 500 watt. Like I say can’t handle anything heavier.
I bought my Ecoflow for weekend camping trips and it has performed well above my expectations in that area. I live in Florida and realized the added benefit of having backup power during hurricanes and power outages. I have been able to pull this baby off the shelf and plug in several items without worry so your video was right on point in confirming my experience. Thanks!
New Delta2 owner and extremely happy with it! The fast charge is great and haven’t had any issues so far with all my appliances I’ve tested it on. Btw. New owners get 30% discount on solar panels. That’ll be my next purchase from Ecoflow. Great review!
I value my money over brand, that being said I do have a smaller jackery and love it BUT looking to get something more and looking at options...this was an amazing video and made up my mind 🤙👍
I am the same. I got the Jackery 300 to test road tripping solo. It worked fine but now I'm looking to get a 30L DC car fridge and other power draining equipment and eventually start going on 5+ days road trips. Im not loyal to a brand if I can get more value for my money from a company with a good reputation/track record.
Earlier this week it was so cold we had rolling power outages. Thirty minutes the power was off, then five minutes the power was back on. This went on for three hours. The Delta 2 could at least top up the battery in that 5 minutes. LFP and rapid charging are the most important features for me.
I was leaning toward the Jackery for a while, but the more research I do, the more my head is being turned by other options. The Delta 2 just has so much more going for it. The 3K cycles before 80% is huge as is the charge time and the expandability. Those threee things sells it. The other flaw with the Jackery is their proprietary solar connections to the unit which makes providing your own solar panels more difficult. Thanks for the great nonsense comparison. It is appreciated.
The jackery 1000 here that i have have andersen and 8mm connector which are not proprietary. I was able to easily find extension and mc4 converter to eventually plug on another RV. The jackery has a better 12 v 13.8 stable even at max draw. The ecoflow drop at 10V which would shutdown the devices. Watch Hobotech testing. However the ecoflow has safer lifePo4. The solarsaga 100w jackery have also extra usb ports that are helpfull to get full usage of the panel without even the generator. The jackery miss the 100w port for ipad pro but honestly it can still charge the ipad pro and all the devices. It is reliable and run my compressor fridge 12v. Dometic cfx3 45 for 4.5 days without charging. With solar i get 100% battery everyday. We are happy with it and it is small and lightweight in my trunk with the fridge.
We have these two exact units and I will be staying with EcoFlow for all future purchases. It is just a superior product all around. Thanks for the video!
Recently went camping, and took my Jackery Explorer 1500 to power a 48qt portable fridge/freezer for a little over 3.5 days. I also have an EcoFlow Delta Max, with 2 extra add-on batteries. I took the Jackery because I figured if it was stolen I wouldn't feel as bad as if the EcoFlow was taken...but I'd still be pissed-off. Anyway, between running the fridge for 3.5 days (which was not constantly opened/closed), and charging grandkids phones/tablets. I also ran a Keurig coffee maker, but would make a cup and unplug the Keurig, so it wasn't a constant pwr draw. I had to run my portable inverter generator twice to keep the Jackery charged to keep the fridge/freezer doing it's intended job. On the third day I had to run the inverter/generator for 4 hrs to recharge the Jackery. Next trip I take my EcoFlow Delta Max.
If I had to chose between these two power stations, I would pick the Ecoflow for sure. I believe Ecoflow is leaving all the other brands behind when it comes to new and innovative alternative power products.
I was a Jackery fanboy until my 2yr warranty ran out and just 3 months later my 1000 Explorer decided to just turn itself off and won't turn back on. It was fully charged when I plugged in my 37 qrt ARB fridge to ready for a camping trip. An hour later the unit had turned off and no amount of resets, attempted charging, etc.... it won't turn on. I contacted Jackery to see if there is any after warranty support in the way of a repair facility that I could ship it to and have it repaired (on my dime). Nope, and doesn't look like they plan to bother. So, now I am holding a very lightly used pretty $1000 brick. A five year warranty would have sufficed at this point as newer technology would most likely be available by then and worth an upgrade regardless if my Jackery was still running or not. Currently chatting with other brands (including EcoFlow) regarding after warranty product support. Wish me luck!
I have both units, and yeah there's no comparison, however the Jackery 1000 was first available in the spring of 2020, compared to a product that was released a few days ago is not a fair comparison. Oh yeah the Ecoflow Delta 2 is all that and then some more
That’s why I posted this after so many questions were asked of “which one should I buy”. Answer is simple in my opinion. I doubt Jackery will be able to continue to sell this unless they cut the price by at least 1/2
Dealbreaker is a matter of intended use. I have both units and agree that the EcoFlow is better in every respect but one. The noise made by the Eco flow is not a little bit louder it is dramatically louder and would make the unit unacceptable for use with a CPAP machine. When I say loud I mean jet aircraft on final takeoff. Will keep them both as the EcoFlow runs appliances that will not run with a Jackery
I have 2 Ecoflow Powerstations, the Delta Mini and a River Mini. I wish I would have waited before buying to get the Delta 2 because of the LifePo4 Battery. I got the other two back around Amazon Primeday so got pretty good deals on them, paid around $640 for the Delta Mini and around $150 for the River Mini. Long before the Delta 2 became available, I will eventually get a Delta 2 or another Ecoflow Product but making sure it has the LifePo4 Battery Chemistry. I see they are getting ready to release River 2 variants in their product line soon. Will definitely like to see what new River 2 products will become available. I also have old Goal Zero Models that are still working pretty good, but then again I don't go through and cycle them often either. Those rated around 500 cycles, but I'd estimate I've only gone through less than 50 cycles through them so they are still lasting a very long time for me. I do check and top them off every few months so they don't self-discharge too much during storage. I have these mainly for emergency and power outage situations so they don't get used every day.
Been looking for a battery station to take with me when going camping. Really like the look of the Jackery and found many good reviews and thought that’s what I’m getting, but after watching your video will go with the Ecoflow! Subscribed and liked the video!
I love my eccoflow delta 2 so much in fact I bought 2 more eccoflow units after it the river 2 and river pro. All work really well so far for me. I also have 2 anker powerhouses the 555 and 757 witch are great too. Both good companies to deal with in my opinion!
I've used the Jackery 1000 now for more than a year and the Ecoflow Delta 2 for two months. The Ecoflow's electronics is more sensitive than a woman's feelings. The EF must be used with a surge protector plug together with a voltage protector plug when charging via AC to protect the electronics inside. Yes, the EF can be used as an UPS/EPS, but the unit's fail rate is almost 99% when permanently used that way. I think the % return rate for repairs on EF units must be high compared to Jackery (this aspect you will not read/hear in any online review). The Jackery 1000 is rugged and there is no fancy technology and electronics - it's old school. After a year of using it almost daily during loadshedding in South Africa, the Jackery is still 100% ito battery life and everything is working perfectly. Only time would tell on the EF Delta 2. If I would choose a unit for outdoors, the EF will stay home.
i paid 899 for my Delta 2 today with a black Friday deal through affirm Walmart. not a bad deal. I already have a delta mini I' m in love with!! LOVE that it charges in under and hour and I got the Delta 2 so I could expand later on. Mine is for power outages. Does the job well. I will ask anyone watching. will my river max (yes i have one of those too..i should work for ecoflow) will it run my router? I never tried. Im an Ecoflow fangirl Brian....lol...I was about to buy a jackery and something i saw stopped me. Im so happy with my ecoflows
@@BrianWatersOutdoors I know that or I assumed anyway I was wondering if the river Max would so that I could use the delta in a different room. I also have a Delta Mini. I think I'm developing some kind of addiction to Eco flows!! I really wish I could afford the big big one!!
I just ordered the ecoflow 1000+160 solar bundle w/the black Friday deal for $ 799 already have 720 & 320 I ran my RV during a flood we were the only ones in our neighborhood that had power. so when I seen the bigger one was on sale, I had to grab it.
Jackery has been around for years but are they falling behind? Thanks for your posting. For me I’m hoping for much better solar 🌞 improvements for that grid down situation.
Jackery got popular by hiring social media influencers to promote their products. I know some of the influencers and they are clueless. They never used any solar generators but because they were paid they praised the Jokery
Jackery seems to only care about portability. If weight is a huge factor for you, then they do work well. Especially the new Pro models. But the older ones are losing their value now. They can't really keep up with the competition.
So Jackery has a new version of the 1000 and it does have LiFePO4 cells now at 1264wh and 2000w output. Jackery has a pre Black Friday sale going on for it with a 100W solar panel for $1,190. With that said, I just bought the Black Friday bundle deal EcoFlow has going on for the Delta 2, WITH the Extra Battery (for a total of 2048Wh) and a 110w solar panel for only $60 more than the Jackery at $1,249.
Im an electrical contractor . In my latest job involving ecoflow products I’m installing a smart panel on a utility/battery/solar/generator system. I have all the parts except the main cable that goes from the double voltage hub to feed the smart panel. It’s been sold out for months. I am now on my third attempt to buy one on eBay so I can do the job. Very frustrating. Out of 2delta pros I installed last year , 1 died and they replaced it . All the solar panels and another delta 2 I bought are working fine
It's a powerstation, you don't need LIFEPO4 chemistry, only if you move to an offgrid location and you charge it daily. The most important aspect to a powerstation is it's size and weight, and LFP has big minus in this area. Next aspect is the efficiency, you want to have the highest one on the AC conversion. Usually a bigger AC inverter has higher power loss at low power loading so here you don't need to overshoot it, less is good if it fits to normal usage...again it's a powerstation use it as intended, not to power heatpumps or hairdrier....
People make a huge deal about the cycle life difference between LFP and NMC battery chemistries. Honestly, it doesn't make much difference in terms of actual life-span of the product, unless you actually fully charge and discharge every single day. If you fully charge and discharge the Jackery once per week, 500 cycles will get you 10 full years of service. If you keep the NMC cells in the Jackery between 10% and 90%, never fully charging or discharging, you'll get 1,500 cycles or more. The main reason to get LFP cells versus NMC is for safety. There is little or no risk of thermal runaway with LFP, like there is with NMC. Also, why didn't you review the newest Jackery product, since you're showing the VERY GOOD EF Delta 2? (The Ecoflow is the hands-down winner in this comparison, for sure!)
👍🏻 I didnt review the “pro” because I don’t have one yet, and all of the questions I’ve been getting have been about this Jackery 1000. I did note that some of the downfalls of the 1000 probably have been upgraded by the pro model. But honestly, don’t see how Jackery will continue to sell this version even at the discounted $849. Too many other better options out there for that price point.
Excellent comparison video. I had a Jackery 240 and sold it as soon as I got my first LiFePO4 power station. Factor in that 5% off code and it’s only $100 difference
The jackery is better to manage 12v at max Amp. The ecoflow drop at 10V which will shut down the devices. See Hobotech test. My jackery 1000 run my Dometic fridge compressor Ac/DC. cfx3 45 without charging for nearly 5 days. And with solar the solar saga 2x100w panel i get 100% battery everyday for unlimited number of pays. And if i need to charge without the sun i can use my car 400w inverter ti charge it as it draws only 145w from the plug to charge faster. The panel can receive also some usb a and c devices directly so it does not draw anything from the jackery. The only cons of the jackery is that the battery are lithium and not safer lifepo4. It also would be good to have more powerful mppt controller solar input to use fully the 200w panels.
I don't think you covered this. But I know that for example, the jackery 500 is NOT good for powering a camping fridge because if it runs TOO efficient, and only draws like 1 or 2watts it'll turn off. Then1000 fixes this by turning off after 12hrs, much more reasonable. Will the delta 2 be able to sustain at very low power draw as well?
Thanks for another amazing review with side-by-side comparisons. So I bought the Newair 80QT fridge and took it out for a 2 day camping trip. I used the Jackery 500 to power it and was charging it using Jackery's 100 watt solar panel. I was having trouble keeping the Jackery 500 powered up enough to keep the fridge running . Would this Ecoflow you have in this video power that fridge for 2-3 days?
Hard to tell, but not for a full 3 days without either solar input or recharging. Or if you set the fridge to a higher temp and hardly ever open it. Whatever you can do to not keep that compressor from constantly cutting on
I'd be interested in a broadband EMI (AC noise) reading on these units. I'd like to run clean battery power to an audio system separate from the house power.
The price seems to have really changed since this video. I'm in Canada and the Ecoflow Delta 2 is $1099 CAD (after $200 discount) the Jackery is $713 CAD on their website today on sale. Makes this decision much harder when talking a $400 CAD / ~$300 USD difference as of April 2024.
Jackery has the new 1000 pro that I believe has 1000 cycles now. The Jackery having one carry handle looks easier to transport. Since I'll be taking it on the road, I went with the new Jackery. The Bluetti was a 2nd choice. I doubt I'll ever in my lifetime use 1000 cycles. If I do, it still will operate at 80%. By then, technology will make all of these choices obsolete.
The Solar/car charging input port on the EcoFlow Delta 2 IS NOT FUSED and WILL BURN OUT. EcoFlow only honors input from their foldable panels. Now it needs repair and EcoFlow won't do it.. You gotta check those little details. I don't know about any others in this regard. M
I don't think it's always a case of more lifecycles = more better. Depends on your use-case. If you're using the thing mostly for going camping let's say a month a year, and you're putting let's say 50 cycles a year on it, the smaller weight that comes with the Jackery might be a more useful argument than the pure amount of cycles, since you'll take years to get there anyway. If you're using it as a back-up in your home, then yeah, by all means.
i dont know if you have reviewed any of the zendure units. they seem to be very efficient like the jackery 1000 with 90+% on both ac and dc. hobotech just did a review with a prototype on a model they have a kickstarter for that is in competition with ecoflow and bluetti for a whole house back up and it even has 240 volt power supply which i believe is a first in one power station unit.
They did contact me, but at the time I wasn’t very interested in the NMC Lithium version they wanted to send me, and it was only 2000 watts, unlike the beast that Hobotech just reviewed.
Unfortunately NO ONE WILL SHIP ANY SOLAR GENERATOR TO HAWAII! 🌋🏝🌊 So I found a Jackery 1500 with 2, 100 watt solar panels for $1899 at Costco. It may not be better than Ecoflow, but at least I have the sunshine year round to recharge it. 🌞
You should compare the Jackery 1000 Pro to the Delta 2. That's more of an even comparison. I have the Jackery 1000 and Jackery 100 Pro. The Pro is much better. I don't like the super loud fans for the Delta. I have the River Pro. The app is a pain to setup. But I still like it. It's available for a great price at Costco right now. I'm getting the Bluetti AC200 Max next.
I have an EcoFlow delta 2 with extra battery and a Jackery 240. I tried to use the EcoFlow to run my HCalory diesel heater. Both have the same info for the 12v dc plug. The EcoFlow will not run the diesel heater on start up but the Jackery will run it. I have had emails with EcoFlow and they say it should run it. Can you tell me why the Jackery does and the EcoFlow does not? Thanks
The 1800 Jackery is not comparable at all. These are the two closest so I would say this is apples to apples given they are basically the exact same price and exact some capacity at around 1000 watt hours.
Great video! I want to use the Ecoflow 2 with an 2k expantion batery to power my house systems on my small house boat. What is the maximum service size I can connect this to? I am redoing the electrical on the boat currently, It had a 30 amp service.
@@BrianWatersOutdoors Very interesting, I thought it might be 20 amps but still, one could wire the systems into two 15 amp max lines, then use two of the ac outlets and carry everything that would have been in a 30 amp system, then unplug and switch to a shore plug when availible. Still a very convienant option over an entire inverter enabled 2 sided ac/dc boat system. Thanks for the help, when you have time if you could verify the outlt amperage that would be great! I have tried to look but can't find the info online.
Great review to point out the differences between the two soul generators. But, my deal breaker is that if I recall, there’s a pretty loud fan that runs almost all the time on the Eco flow. No such thing on the jackery. That might be enough to sway me.
I understand if you don't have one but it's not really fair to compare the new ecoflow product with the old jackery. Ecoflow did some nice things in terms of life cycles and charging speed but those efficiency numbers are atrocious. 78% compared to 90% could be as much of a deal breaker as the life cycle difference. Ecoflow can and has done much better. And what's with that fan noise?
I agree, but that is what was asked of me more than any other comment was “which one, Jackery Explorer 1000 or Ecoflow Delta 2”, so that is what I did. I tried to explain that in the beginning of the video. Hopefully in the near future I’ll get my hands on the “pro” mode to do that comparison.
@@BrianWatersOutdoors That's fair and I appreciate the reply. Jackery made some improvements but still fall short in almost every category you mentioned. I'm looking for something with high efficiency out of the dc port and Jackery seems to be the only ones putting an emphasis on that.
I have a Bluetti AC300. It's great for high output but it uses a lot of power just to run so I dare not keep anything plugged in all the time. I'd like to power a 12v fridge but it uses 17watts every hour just to power and regulate the dc. I'm thinking about the Ecoflow River pro you reviewed. I just don't understand how you got more out of it the longer you used it. I also don't want anything real big because I already have that hulk unit.
You know human nature is funny.
I just ordered the Delta-2, after a LOT of research; I haven’t even received it yet, but I saw & watched this video after the fact!
Thanks for making me believe that I made the right choice! 😂
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That's a good 2nd choice, but the bluetti $550 eb70s is a better value
Lmao i did the same thing with a solar battery bank. After the review i watched i felt relieved 😅 my stressed questioning payed off, super excited to get the bank!
You'll get it and never look back. I love mine but hate the way the extra battery plugs in.
Brian, great side-by-side review. One other criteria to consider is warranty. Jackery is 2 years, Delta 2 is 5 years.
True. Good point
@@BrianWatersOutdoors Except in order for it to be a more comparable test you should of put delta2 vs the jackery1000 PRO, woulda been closer.
I agree, however all of the questions and comments I received were asking about this scenario. The delta 2 vs the Explorer 1000, which is why I posted this particular comparison.
Well I own Ecoflow 700 watt and Ecoflow 1300 watt. Love both. I am 93 years old and can’t handle anything heavier.
Also own a Jackery 500 watt. Like I say can’t handle anything heavier.
They all sure came in handy during a blackout.

Glad I could help👍🏻👍🏻
Jackery old technology. Ecoflow can't be beat! Had Jackery and was ok but love my New Ecoflow!!!
Great eco flow delta 2 and eco flow delta pro 😎👍
👍🏻
Great review Brian, I enjoy your channel and always look forward to your vids
Thanks James
If I don’t hurry and get something I’m going to freeze to death in my van this winter when waiting for the hotshot job. Thank you for this video !!!
Thank you👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for this video I’ll make a decision soon
👍🏻
Thank you Brian. Excellent review. Honesty is all we seek. Me anyways 🎈
Thank you👍🏻
I love my eccoflow delta 2 so much in fact I bought 2 more eccoflow units after it the river 2 and river pro. All work really well so far for me. I also have 2 anker powerhouses the 555 and 757 witch are great too. Both good companies to deal with in my opinion!
👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for this, you confirmed what I suspected
👍🏻👍🏻
excellent review, thank you for accuracy and great point coverage.
Thanks👍🏻
I've used the Jackery 1000 now for more than a year and the Ecoflow Delta 2 for two months. The Ecoflow's electronics is more sensitive than a woman's feelings. The EF must be used with a surge protector plug together with a voltage protector plug when charging via AC to protect the electronics inside. Yes, the EF can be used as an UPS/EPS, but the unit's fail rate is almost 99% when permanently used that way.
I think the % return rate for repairs on EF units must be high compared to Jackery (this aspect you will not read/hear in any online review).
The Jackery 1000 is rugged and there is no fancy technology and electronics - it's old school. After a year of using it almost daily during loadshedding in South Africa, the Jackery is still 100% ito battery life and everything is working perfectly. Only time would tell on the EF Delta 2.
If I would choose a unit for outdoors, the EF will stay home.
👍🏻👍🏻
Update?
@@BrianWatersOutdoors on the eco flow, how many hours would i get out of this.. on a daul 15 inch powerfu bluetooth party speaker
i paid 899 for my Delta 2 today with a black Friday deal through affirm Walmart. not a bad deal. I already have a delta mini I' m in love with!! LOVE that it charges in under and hour and I got the Delta 2 so I could expand later on. Mine is for power outages. Does the job well. I will ask anyone watching. will my river max (yes i have one of those too..i should work for ecoflow) will it run my router? I never tried. Im an Ecoflow fangirl Brian....lol...I was about to buy a jackery and something i saw stopped me. Im so happy with my ecoflows
It should run your router without any issues👍🏻
@@BrianWatersOutdoors I know that or I assumed anyway I was wondering if the river Max would so that I could use the delta in a different room. I also have a Delta Mini. I think I'm developing some kind of addiction to Eco flows!! I really wish I could afford the big big one!!
I just ordered the ecoflow 1000+160 solar bundle w/the black Friday deal for $ 799 already have 720 & 320 I ran my RV during a flood we were the only ones in our neighborhood that had power. so when I seen the bigger one was on sale, I had to grab it.
👍🏻👍🏻
Jackery has been around for years but are they falling behind? Thanks for your posting. For me I’m hoping for much better solar 🌞 improvements for that grid down situation.
Thanks Clarence👍🏻
Jackery is behind bluetti without lithium phosphate, only 2 year warranty vs 5 years, and higher prices
Jackery got popular by hiring social media influencers to promote their products. I know some of the influencers and they are clueless. They never used any solar generators but because they were paid they praised the Jokery
Jackery seems to only care about portability. If weight is a huge factor for you, then they do work well. Especially the new Pro models. But the older ones are losing their value now. They can't really keep up with the competition.
Thank you for doing great review.
👍🏻👍🏻
I would pass up on the Jackery 1000. The Delta 2 is better in a lot of aspects and my favorite is the very fast charging of the Delta 2.
👍🏻
Thanks for this video, it was very insightful 👍
Thanks👍🏻
So Jackery has a new version of the 1000 and it does have LiFePO4 cells now at 1264wh and 2000w output. Jackery has a pre Black Friday sale going on for it with a 100W solar panel for $1,190. With that said, I just bought the Black Friday bundle deal EcoFlow has going on for the Delta 2, WITH the Extra Battery (for a total of 2048Wh) and a 110w solar panel for only $60 more than the Jackery at $1,249.
👍🏻👍🏻
Im an electrical contractor . In my latest job involving ecoflow products I’m installing a smart panel on a utility/battery/solar/generator system. I have all the parts except the main cable that goes from the double voltage hub to feed the smart panel. It’s been sold out for months. I am now on my third attempt to buy one on eBay so I can do the job. Very frustrating.
Out of 2delta pros I installed last year , 1 died and they replaced it . All the solar panels and another delta 2 I bought are working fine
I have a Jackery explorer 1500. I wish I had Eco flow
👍🏻👍🏻
Great review Brian.
Thanks Frank
Look like eco flo delta 2 is a great system
The expanding battery is what I was looking for
👍🏻👍🏻
It's a powerstation, you don't need LIFEPO4 chemistry, only if you move to an offgrid location and you charge it daily. The most important aspect to a powerstation is it's size and weight, and LFP has big minus in this area. Next aspect is the efficiency, you want to have the highest one on the AC conversion. Usually a bigger AC inverter has higher power loss at low power loading so here you don't need to overshoot it, less is good if it fits to normal usage...again it's a powerstation use it as intended, not to power heatpumps or hairdrier....
👍🏻
Valuable information. 👍🏼
Thank you
People make a huge deal about the cycle life difference between LFP and NMC battery chemistries. Honestly, it doesn't make much difference in terms of actual life-span of the product, unless you actually fully charge and discharge every single day. If you fully charge and discharge the Jackery once per week, 500 cycles will get you 10 full years of service. If you keep the NMC cells in the Jackery between 10% and 90%, never fully charging or discharging, you'll get 1,500 cycles or more.
The main reason to get LFP cells versus NMC is for safety. There is little or no risk of thermal runaway with LFP, like there is with NMC. Also, why didn't you review the newest Jackery product, since you're showing the VERY GOOD EF Delta 2? (The Ecoflow is the hands-down winner in this comparison, for sure!)
👍🏻 I didnt review the “pro” because I don’t have one yet, and all of the questions I’ve been getting have been about this Jackery 1000. I did note that some of the downfalls of the 1000 probably have been upgraded by the pro model. But honestly, don’t see how Jackery will continue to sell this version even at the discounted $849. Too many other better options out there for that price point.
@@BrianWatersOutdoors - I couldn't agree more...anyone paying attention will buy the EF Delta 2.
Great review sir!
Thanks👍🏻
Excellent review! Thanks!
Thank you 👍🏻
Honestly my decision was made at 1:30. 3000 cycles vs 500 makes it a no brainer for my use
👍🏻👍🏻
thanks this helped so much
👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent comparison video. I had a Jackery 240 and sold it as soon as I got my first LiFePO4 power station. Factor in that 5% off code and it’s only $100 difference
👍🏻👍🏻
Black Friday $599 at ecoflow website
The jackery is better to manage 12v at max Amp. The ecoflow drop at 10V which will shut down the devices. See Hobotech test.
My jackery 1000 run my Dometic fridge compressor Ac/DC. cfx3 45 without charging for nearly 5 days. And with solar the solar saga 2x100w panel i get 100% battery everyday for unlimited number of pays. And if i need to charge without the sun i can use my car 400w inverter ti charge it as it draws only 145w from the plug to charge faster. The panel can receive also some usb a and c devices directly so it does not draw anything from the jackery. The only cons of the jackery is that the battery are lithium and not safer lifepo4. It also would be good to have more powerful mppt controller solar input to use fully the 200w panels.
👍🏻
DUCK!! The Jackery Boys are coming.LOL Great review and good advice. Thanks Brian
Lolol👍🏻
I don't think you covered this. But I know that for example, the jackery 500 is NOT good for powering a camping fridge because if it runs TOO efficient, and only draws like 1 or 2watts it'll turn off. Then1000 fixes this by turning off after 12hrs, much more reasonable.
Will the delta 2 be able to sustain at very low power draw as well?
Yes. You can set the DC side to stay on for a specific period of time on the app
Ecoflow………No Brainer!!!! Thanks Brian
Thanks Joey👍🏻
Thanks for another amazing review with side-by-side comparisons. So I bought the Newair 80QT fridge and took it out for a 2 day camping trip. I used the Jackery 500 to power it and was charging it using Jackery's 100 watt solar panel. I was having trouble keeping the Jackery 500 powered up enough to keep the fridge running . Would this Ecoflow you have in this video power that fridge for 2-3 days?
Hard to tell, but not for a full 3 days without either solar input or recharging. Or if you set the fridge to a higher temp and hardly ever open it. Whatever you can do to not keep that compressor from constantly cutting on
I'd be interested in a broadband EMI (AC noise) reading on these units. I'd like to run clean battery power to an audio system separate from the house power.
👍🏻
Great Video!
Thank you👍🏻
For my needs and longevity, I went with Bluetti 800w! Great invention and better than Jackery too 👌
👍🏻👍🏻
The price seems to have really changed since this video. I'm in Canada and the Ecoflow Delta 2 is $1099 CAD (after $200 discount) the Jackery is $713 CAD on their website today on sale.
Makes this decision much harder when talking a $400 CAD / ~$300 USD difference as of April 2024.
Prices have come down quite a bit👍🏻👍🏻
So glad i watched this video
👍🏻👍🏻
Great review thanks
Thanks👍🏻
Jackery let greed rule. Now the dinosaurs of solar generators.
👍🏻
Jackery has the new 1000 pro that I believe has 1000 cycles now. The Jackery having one carry handle looks easier to transport. Since I'll be taking it on the road, I went with the new Jackery. The Bluetti was a 2nd choice. I doubt I'll ever in my lifetime use 1000 cycles. If I do, it still will operate at 80%. By then, technology will make all of these choices obsolete.
Absolutely correct. Something else will break before the cycle count and then batteries will be much more advanced
I have the eco river pro and the deciding factor by far was the fast charging….
👍🏻
It is always a no brainer. I would get the Delta 2 over the Jackery 1000.
👍🏻
Get either if you have Florida Power & Light aka FPL
👍🏻
The Solar/car charging input port on the EcoFlow Delta 2 IS NOT FUSED and WILL BURN OUT. EcoFlow only honors input from their foldable panels. Now it needs repair and EcoFlow won't do it.. You gotta check those little details. I don't know about any others in this regard.

👍🏻
Thank you friend.
👍🏻👍🏻
Great advice.😊
Thanks Ruth👍🏻
@@BrianWatersOutdoors God love you and your precious family.
I don't think it's always a case of more lifecycles = more better. Depends on your use-case. If you're using the thing mostly for going camping let's say a month a year, and you're putting let's say 50 cycles a year on it, the smaller weight that comes with the Jackery might be a more useful argument than the pure amount of cycles, since you'll take years to get there anyway. If you're using it as a back-up in your home, then yeah, by all means.
Very true 👍🏻
i dont know if you have reviewed any of the zendure units. they seem to be very efficient like the jackery 1000 with 90+% on both ac and dc. hobotech just did a review with a prototype on a model they have a kickstarter for that is in competition with ecoflow and bluetti for a whole house back up and it even has 240 volt power supply which i believe is a first in one power station unit.
They did contact me, but at the time I wasn’t very interested in the NMC Lithium version they wanted to send me, and it was only 2000 watts, unlike the beast that Hobotech just reviewed.
I got a Ecoflow Delta 2 1024 wh on its way ...Amazon now for $699 now. Thanks for your presentation on this unit.
👍🏻👍🏻
I have both , & it’s no comparison. The Jackery can not compete. I don’t even know why they have the audacity to charge as much as a ecoflow for it .
👍🏻
Unfortunately NO ONE WILL SHIP ANY SOLAR GENERATOR TO HAWAII! 🌋🏝🌊 So I found a Jackery 1500 with 2, 100 watt solar panels for $1899 at Costco. It may not be better than Ecoflow, but at least I have the sunshine year round to recharge it. 🌞
I’ll trade you Hawaii for my Delta 2😉😉👍🏻👍🏻
The Ecoflow delta 2 is over $2300 here in Australia. How can it be so much cheaper in America? Are you sure you priced it correctly?
I’m certain. Are you looking at the Delta Max maybe?
@@BrianWatersOutdoors no its just the Delta. We dont seem to have a delta 2 here yet. I will keep a look out as i liked your review
You should compare the Jackery 1000 Pro to the Delta 2. That's more of an even comparison. I have the Jackery 1000 and Jackery 100 Pro. The Pro is much better. I don't like the super loud fans for the Delta. I have the River Pro. The app is a pain to setup. But I still like it. It's available for a great price at Costco right now. I'm getting the Bluetti AC200 Max next.
👍🏻
I’ll sum it up in seconds . Eco flow is the best period !
👍🏻
I have an EcoFlow delta 2 with extra battery and a Jackery 240. I tried to use the EcoFlow to run my HCalory diesel heater. Both have the same info for the 12v dc plug. The EcoFlow will not run the diesel heater on start up but the Jackery will run it. I have had emails with EcoFlow and they say it should run it. Can you tell me why the Jackery does and the EcoFlow does not? Thanks
What about operating in different temperatures? Does one perform better in the cold or hot?
I would like the Ecoflow, if I could have one!!!
👍🏻
Way to get down to business and leave out all the drawing out that people do to try to prolong the video! Thanks!
Thanks👍🏻
i like your channel and I want to comment on this video. you didn't compare apple to apple here, you should compare Ecoflow delta 2 with Jackery 1800.
The 1800 Jackery is not comparable at all. These are the two closest so I would say this is apples to apples given they are basically the exact same price and exact some capacity at around 1000 watt hours.
Great video! I want to use the Ecoflow 2 with an 2k expantion batery to power my house systems on my small house boat. What is the maximum service size I can connect this to? I am redoing the electrical on the boat currently, It had a 30 amp service.
You cannot use a 30amp service with this station.
@@BrianWatersOutdoors Do you know what the amp breaker of each ac outlet is? I could wire into lower amperage
I believe 15amps but I don’t have the manual in front of me right now.
@@BrianWatersOutdoors Very interesting, I thought it might be 20 amps but still, one could wire the systems into two 15 amp max lines, then use two of the ac outlets and carry everything that would have been in a 30 amp system, then unplug and switch to a shore plug when availible. Still a very convienant option over an entire inverter enabled 2 sided ac/dc boat system. Thanks for the help, when you have time if you could verify the outlt amperage that would be great! I have tried to look but can't find the info online.
my jackery stopped working 2 weeks after the warranty ran out with around 10 uses
That’s no good👎🏻
The Jackety is dependable. A LOT of negative reviews on the eco flow all models. True you only get 500 cycles but it is dependable.
👍🏻👍🏻
How much does each one COST?
Does it have to be outside your home to be safe?
$1000 avg for each one. And you can use these indoors. It’s basically just a big battery.
I would choose the Delta 2 over the Jackery 1000. The Delta 2 charges way faster.
👍🏻
Harbor Freight Tools is stocking the Jackery power station , The Delta 2 is better with its extra Battery from other Reviews done .
👍🏻👍🏻
I want to power up a forman grill 120V 60hrz 1600W will this suffice or can a smaller unit get the job done?
This won’t work with a 1600 watt appliance. Will need something bigger
@@BrianWatersOutdoors any suggestion other than using fire lolz
Great review to point out the differences between the two soul generators. But, my deal breaker is that if I recall, there’s a pretty loud fan that runs almost all the time on the Eco flow. No such thing on the jackery. That might be enough to sway me.
The Ecoflow fan doesn’t run the entire time, but I will say when it does run is louder than most power stations.
The fan is quite loud. The Jackery is silent.
@@RobertLinthicum..you mean when the power stations are getting charged, or when they are charging something else?
What about the display on the ecoflow that shuts off after 20 seconds
? It shuts off.
Good review. Did Jackery send this unit out to you?
Thanks, and no. The Jackery is mine👍🏻
How are they for charging with solar panels and charging from alternator.
Delta takes up to 500 watts of solar. Jackery takes up to 163 watts of solar.
Ecoflow can charge from any solar panel. Most others only charge from their own solar panel.
Do you have the means to compare the ecoflow with a comparable bluetti?
I do not have a comparable BLUETTI at this time.
@@BrianWatersOutdoors what about the $550 800w eb70s?
I understand if you don't have one but it's not really fair to compare the new ecoflow product with the old jackery. Ecoflow did some nice things in terms of life cycles and charging speed but those efficiency numbers are atrocious. 78% compared to 90% could be as much of a deal breaker as the life cycle difference. Ecoflow can and has done much better. And what's with that fan noise?
I agree, but that is what was asked of me more than any other comment was “which one, Jackery Explorer 1000 or Ecoflow Delta 2”, so that is what I did. I tried to explain that in the beginning of the video. Hopefully in the near future I’ll get my hands on the “pro” mode to do that comparison.
@@BrianWatersOutdoors That's fair and I appreciate the reply. Jackery made some improvements but still fall short in almost every category you mentioned. I'm looking for something with high efficiency out of the dc port and Jackery seems to be the only ones putting an emphasis on that.
I have a Bluetti AC300. It's great for high output but it uses a lot of power just to run so I dare not keep anything plugged in all the time. I'd like to power a 12v fridge but it uses 17watts every hour just to power and regulate the dc. I'm thinking about the Ecoflow River pro you reviewed. I just don't understand how you got more out of it the longer you used it. I also don't want anything real big because I already have that hulk unit.
The Jackery definitely has the DC efficiency down very well. They always get a high rate of usable watts vs the rated watts
