EXCELLENT review! fast and precise. no BS and straight to the point, just pure info and facts. hate it when other reviewers try to be funny. Can you do a comparison video between ecoflow, jackery, and bluetti, and maybe goal zero? i saw you did a little bit at the end of the video but if you could a head to head comparison between those portable power companies, that would be awesome!
You hit the nail on the head...the Pros will be a great deal now that the Ultras have come out. I have Delta 2s and 2 River 2 Pros which are ok for for most outtages we have here and I got great sale deals on those. These would be perfect for our needs and better priced now.
@mikli1018 seriously, even in cloudy days it will give me about 250w/h so full in about 6hrs. The cool part is you can charge it at a EV station and p... off the tree huggers
You can find these factory refurbished for just over $1500. After investigating the whole home backup with solar + battery or with a generator, we found we can live with 2 of these to back up the essential items. Also, you can expand this.
As I am a rookie to RV s and solar I just bought this unit and the Eco Flow 400 watt portable panel and a 24 ft motor home And would LOVE love love an informational video on how to use this setup
I've loved this unit since I first saw it years ago, and realized that it was possible to use it to power my whole house with the 240 feature. From the idea supported by this video, I still think it's worth considering, because it's still great, and now at a lower price --- about $2,000 currently. One question I have is regarding longevity? I don't know if we have the answer to this, but does the battery degrade over 10 year, even if only used a couple of times a year? Or does it really have that many cycles regardless of time?
These power stations are getting more and more popular aswell as better and better. Because of this, at what point do RV and travel trailer manufacturers start putting a 2nd shore power inlet on the "Inside" of the RV too? You sure wouldn't spend all that money on one of these and leave it outside exposed to the elements or theft.
Another less talked about perk of this is that it talks nice with other Ecoflow products. So you'll be able to run the Ecoflow refrigerator (Glacier) and AC/Heater (Wave) with their full features... though I do believe an adapter is necessary for the Glacier to run the ice maker.
It seems this is still the best model to work with EcoFlow's dual fuel generator. Correct me if I'm wrong but seems the Ultra doesn't support the fast DC charging on that generator?
Nice informative video! I would love to know more about the newer EcoFlow product; the Delta Pro Ultra and if it is totally possible to charge up 5 batteries with just SOLAR using one inverter. This would be especially useful information for those who live in a cooler climate where the voltages can spike during the colder months making it necessary to use lower voltage panels in both the LV and HV arrays. I am wondering if this unit could be relied upon in a off grid system for a reasonable price with paneling the unit with the LV (1600W 150V & 15A) and HV (4000W 450V & 15A) limitations that seem restraining. Thanks!
Just bought 2 pros for $5300 also got 400w solar panel for free. Be mindful there is a US version and an international version. About 6 hours off when I charged both. Question is, how long will it charge my house during an outage? Thinking about getting at least one or two extra batteries but don’t want to jump the gun. Thoughts??
I live in an apartment. I would like to use heating blankets and space heaters during the winter. So, are you saying that when charging, using solar panels, I have to literally take this 100 lbs equipment outside too? Also, if anyone knows if I would be ok using heating blanket and space heater please advise. Thanks.
I am not very tech savvy. My question is if the grid is out, can I connect these to my home solar panels to be charged or it needs its own dedicated solar panel? Thanks for you response.
I'm really interested in this older unit because it fits my needs i think. When nyc power goes away and yes it does it is a mess here. I run 2 honda 2200's in parallel to keep our house functioning perfectly. This battery is the same power. In a super nasty storm could i run this bugger from the basement and power the home the same and then when i get home recharge it from the hondas?
@TinasheEmmanuelChindiya use it daily for 4 to 6 hours per day8 have pulsar gas generator but this thing no sound so all .y equipment is electric so great for my clients
I’m still trying to decide between this and the Oukitel 5120 - I do full time RV living and I have solar but luckily I park by the beach that has car charging stations, thanks to your review I’m even more torn between the 2 😂
Oukitel: - not expandable - solar input 1kW max - no 240 for US market Delta Pro: - expandable if needed - solar input 1.6kW - 240V if needed + ability to control charge rate I guess it is no-brainer
Of course I'm "Like, actually trying to power my whole home." What the heck else would I buy one(or two) of these things for? I may be a caveman, but I go camping to go camping. If I wanted to have all my electric stuff from home at my disposal, I'd stay home. So, from what I gather, a couple of these, each with an extra battery, (there is nothing in my home that runs on 240... No, no dryer, well pump, or electric range), and some (how many?) solar panels, and I'd have some pretty decent, lights on, small fridge/freezer, and occasional DVD to watch, electricity? I don't understand why I seem to be the only person on earth who would like to have a (limited) back up power generator, which can be recharged by the sun, to handle some rudementary needs, indefinately. Of course, that would be barring any failure(s) of the product itself. If anyone knows where I can find out what I would need for what I want, presented in American English, minus ALL crazy jargon, which means, leave out all the alphabet soup, and just tell me what I need to buy to run a handful of lamps, a fridge, and DVD player, I would appreciate it very much. I don't have the time, nor inclination to get a degree in the field of solar power. I can't be alone. Does everyone who buys a car become a certified mechanic first? No. They look up which car looks how they want, and, (hopefully) something pertaining to which cars have proven themselve's, and purchase accordingly. I have zero interest in putting power back into the grid, or any other such foolishness, which is costing more than a few poelple I know thousands and thousands of dollars, and is projected to "break even" in twenty freaking years. I'm sorry to unload on you like this, but the camel's back has been broken.
Idk if this is just my unit but my usb c ports don’t work. I have to push the cord in with some force and hold it for it to charge anything and it’s both ports that were barely used. There’s nothing in the ports so idk what the issue is. Any advice would be great.
Hey sir, Do you have a video with 1 EcoFlow Delta Pro connected to the Smart Panel (not the Smart Panel 2)? Also, if only 1 Delta Pro is connected with an extra battery can I still use all 10 circuits without any problems? My other question is can I do the same setup with the A310c (6-circuit) or A510a (10-circuit) transfer switches EcoFlow offers and still have all 10 circuits capability?
As a home backup unit or UPS, how much power can it passthrough from the grid through the 30-amp RV plug? I would want to keep it connected in UPS mode and when the power goes out it can automatically switch to the battery.
The 30 amp RV plug is only capable of putting out 53 V. I have no idea why no one’s covering this in addition to that they are wired incorrectly with 2 53 volt legs. Should be at ground neutral and 120 V. Units have been burning out lots of things on my small RV. I have five Delta pros. You can’t use them as a slave battery. Customer service is horrible, but they don’t speak English very well and are very uneducated. Beware. I don’t know why people would use these for back up because they have to be stored at 30% or shorten their lives.
@@issameQ yes, it’s on the eBay listing. You get 2 years off the bat then an additional 3 years when you register it with Ecoflow. Confirmed it by messaging them
I am living in a small cottage. My average consumption over the past 3 years were 7.2 kWh per day. Would this Delta Pro plus one additional battery be enough to power up my house for a considerable time? I am not concerned about the weight because it will be installed and remain stationary.
Tom, I am off grid in an 800 sq ft house. I ended up purchasing Bluetti products for it, but also have a couple of smaller EcoFlow solar batteries for occasional use. Anyway, what I have is a total of 8kWh available via the Bluetti, and about 2,400 of solar panels plugged into them to recharge during the day. I am finding that, depending on the weather and cloud cover, I need to recharge or top off the batteries with a generator about every 3-4 days. Not cumbersome at all.
@@catherinebrown8934 Hi Cathrine. Thank you for reply. Your situation sounds more or less similar to mine. If I could get 4-5 days out of one charge I would be happy. I will make sure that I will have enough solar panels. Regards.
"You can have 240v by plugging two of these together, with this adaptor, that looks kinda ugly, but hey, it works" or have 240v power standard in my country since 1938. America, please catch up! 😅
@Eric-ii9ce Yes, I know you have some 240v in America, but y'all acting like it's the new best thing where countries such as Australia and New Zealand did their homework 86 years ago and went with 240v/10A as standard because they knew it was safer than 120v/20A.
@Eric-ii9ce Volts is only the flow of electrons, Amps is what kills people by electrocution - so 240 is not "safer" than 120, it's just that 10A is safer than 15A or 20A. Come back anytime that you need to be schooled on this.
@Eric-ii9ce Volts is not pressure, amps is not quantity, and high school science to calculate current (not currant, that's something you can eat), doesn't make you right. I can happily take current through my body, but I guess they make us tougher here across the ocean from you.
@@joebloggs6131half a milliamp through the heart is all it takes to enable ventricular fibrillation and thus cardiac arrest which is what kills a person when shocked. 10 amps at 120 or 240v will kill you just as good as 15/20 amps will.
Ecoflow 8s crap save money people I bought the delta pro plus with the backup batteries solar panels 3 years layer all I have 8s a giant paper weight now and they won't warranty it ans shopsolar was not helpful either. Stay away form Ecoflow crap. It's a waste of money
@ i am glad your system works. It took five months and a number of phone calls before i got my problem product straightened out. It is a life or death situation that i have dependable back up electrical systems. I now have three tiers of a electrical back up to depend on when the main grid crashes.
No it's not worth it. This unit uses low cost (cheap) high frequency, transformerless inverter tech that offers a shorter life expectancy and a wimpy surge capacity than heavy duty, low frequency, transformer based solar generators. What's worse, without an iron core, copper wound output isolation transformer, if the AC output monitoring circuit were to fail and a MOSFET in the H-Bridge circuit were to short to ground, the low cost inverter in this unit can send dangerous high voltage, high amperage DC current to your AC loads which can not only damage transformer based loads, it can set those household loads or EV on fire.
@Eric-ii9ce High surge capacity low frequency inverters are no longer expensive. You can easily purchase a high quality Sigineer 6kW inverter charger for under $1,100 that has an 18kW surge capacity. And unfortunately the DTK 120HW does nothing to prevent DC current from passing through and damaging your AC loads during a catastrophic failure of a high frequency inverter's H-Bridge circuit.
A Metal Oxide Varistor would not sense the 240V or probably less DC current that could flow out of an inverter's output as an overvoltage that would require clamping. A simple MOV (DC or AC) would just see this 240V DC output as normal. With no galvanic isolation in these high frequency inverters, In order to stop DC current from from flowing from the DC boost stage to the H-bridge circuit where a MOSFET has shorted to ground, you would need an active device that could sense the presence or absence of the sinusoidal waveform. @Eric-ii9ce
Heuu some BS here, ECOFLOW Delta Pro need LEVEL 2 EV charger, here the video shown LEVEL 3 fact charger, completly wrong.... please if you don't know, don't tell everything, please !
And these company don’t want to any system charge from car because they want money from second and third battery , even not single device the make to fast charging from car just tiny wire 12 v cigarettes plug that is just 1 percent in one hour , spending almost 4000 dollars this 100 pound and not single device they make to charge from car battery ,
I have had two separate issues with the EcoFlow Delta 2 and their customer service has been amazing. Responding within 24 hours and resolving both issues. *Mailed back twice and sent a new 12v cable.
You just have to know how to contact them. Yes their phone and email based customer service sucks but if you chat with a rep online or on their Facebook, it's usually a 1 on 1 experience and I've had my issues fixed very quickly. If you think Ecoflow is bad, don't ever give Bluetti a try. In the world of solar generators, Ecoflow has some of the best support.
Their next model down is 86lbs and has no wheels. Does this company have ANY women on their design team?!? As a single woman, I won't be able to schlep around 86lbs or yank a 100lb unit upstairs. I've eliminated this brand just because of this.
They definitely do make some heavy units, but once you get into the bigger size battery’s, it seems hard to avoid… atleast they aren’t lead acid anymore😂
@@TheSolarLab yes, I understand there is a correlation to heft & storage however, you need wheels and/or bases for anything getting close to 70lbs. It's not reasonable to expect the average consumer to power lift 86lbs. I'm eliminating this brand just for this variable alone - poor design.
@@TheSolarLab I'm considering the Anker f2000 because it has the wheels & handle and decent size. Do you have other recommendations as well? I'm looking for house backup to primarily power frig and other small appliances in a grid down scenario.

As a home backup unit or UPS, how much power can it passthrough from the grid through the 30-amp RV plug? I would want to keep it connected in UPS mode and when the power goes out it can automatically switch to the battery.
Only 1800 watts, regardless of the size fuse/breaker.
I think its more to EPS mode, i believe its the same as Delta 2, when i turned off AC power input, it blinks. But it still backs you up.
What about noise?
The 30 amp RV plug is only capable of putting out 53 V. I have no idea why no one’s covering this in addition to that they are wired incorrectly with 2 53 volt legs.

Yes, I know you have some 240v in America, but y'all acting like it's the new best thing where countries such as Australia and New Zealand did their homework 86 years ago and went with 240v/10A as standard because they knew it was safer than 120v/20A.
@Eric-ii9ce
Volts is only the flow of electrons, Amps is what kills people by electrocution - so 240 is not "safer" than 120, it's just that 10A is safer than 15A or 20A. Come back anytime that you need to be schooled on this.
@Eric-ii9ce
Volts is not pressure, amps is not quantity, and high school science to calculate current (not currant, that's something you can eat), doesn't make you right. I can happily take current through my body, but I guess they make us tougher here across the ocean from you.
@@joebloggs6131half a milliamp through the heart is all it takes to enable ventricular fibrillation and thus cardiac arrest which is what kills a person when shocked. 10 amps at 120 or 240v will kill you just as good as 15/20 amps will.
2:50, you seemed to move that rather easily for a "scrawny little guy" or whatever you called yourself.
Ecoflow 8s crap save money people I bought the delta pro plus with the backup batteries solar panels 3 years layer all I have 8s a giant paper weight now and they won't warranty it ans shopsolar was not helpful either. Stay away form Ecoflow crap. It's a waste of money
You’re the only one that doesn’t like them
rob im so upset right now
I would stop complaining about everything and just realize that this is some quality stuff not your cheesy Timo crap
Delta pro is a box full of lights and nothing more! $6500 later and i don’t have a system that works. These are not dependable!
Mine has been fine, so have many others.
@ i am glad your system works. It took five months and a number of phone calls before i got my problem product straightened out. It is a life or death situation that i have dependable back up electrical systems. I now have three tiers of a electrical back up to depend on when the main grid crashes.
No it's not worth it. This unit uses low cost (cheap) high frequency, transformerless inverter tech that offers a shorter life expectancy and a wimpy surge capacity than heavy duty, low frequency, transformer based solar generators. What's worse, without an iron core, copper wound output isolation transformer, if the AC output monitoring circuit were to fail and a MOSFET in the H-Bridge circuit were to short to ground, the low cost inverter in this unit can send dangerous high voltage, high amperage DC current to your AC loads which can not only damage transformer based loads, it can set those household loads or EV on fire.
thanks do you think Delta Pro Ultra uses cheap inverter?
@@ykyy007 cheap is a relative word, for someone 1 mil is a change. Better to check real users experience, that listen to bumpkins.
The Delta Pro Ultra uses the same low cost, low surge, high frequency inverter tech as the Delta pro. @@ykyy007
@Eric-ii9ce High surge capacity low frequency inverters are no longer expensive. You can easily purchase a high quality Sigineer 6kW inverter charger for under $1,100 that has an 18kW surge capacity. And unfortunately the DTK 120HW does nothing to prevent DC current from passing through and damaging your AC loads during a catastrophic failure of a high frequency inverter's H-Bridge circuit.
A Metal Oxide Varistor would not sense the 240V or probably less DC current that could flow out of an inverter's output as an overvoltage that would require clamping.
A simple MOV (DC or AC) would just see this 240V DC output as normal. With no galvanic isolation in these high frequency inverters, In order to stop DC current from from flowing from the DC boost stage to the H-bridge circuit where a MOSFET has shorted to ground, you would need an active device that could sense the presence or absence of the sinusoidal waveform. @Eric-ii9ce
Heuu some BS here, ECOFLOW Delta Pro need LEVEL 2 EV charger, here the video shown LEVEL 3 fact charger, completly wrong.... please if you don't know, don't tell everything, please !
Yeah like we said in the video this is the wrong charger LOL
its the problem of this EV stuff, not only you need to have an app and mobile phone, you need to spot proper charger level - facepalm
good thing they said that in the video!
EVs are for fools.
And these company don’t want to any system charge from car because they want money from second and third battery , even not single device the make to fast charging from car just tiny wire 12 v cigarettes plug that is just 1 percent in one hour , spending almost 4000 dollars this 100 pound and not single device they make to charge from car battery ,
EcoFlow support is horrendous!!!!!! Run, don't walk!!!
I have had two separate issues with the EcoFlow Delta 2 and their customer service has been amazing. Responding within 24 hours and resolving both issues.
*Mailed back twice and sent a new 12v cable.
@@tumbleweed1976 congrats , you're an exception rather than the rule.
I know its a old vid but ecoflow customer support is legendary for how bad it is. Its whats holding be back form getting one @tumbleweed1976
You just have to know how to contact them. Yes their phone and email based customer service sucks but if you chat with a rep online or on their Facebook, it's usually a 1 on 1 experience and I've had my issues fixed very quickly. If you think Ecoflow is bad, don't ever give Bluetti a try. In the world of solar generators, Ecoflow has some of the best support.
Had an issue with mine after two years, after two emails and two days, I’m getting a new one shipped out. No complaints.
Their next model down is 86lbs and has no wheels. Does this company have ANY women on their design team?!? As a single woman, I won't be able to schlep around 86lbs or yank a 100lb unit upstairs. I've eliminated this brand just because of this.
They definitely do make some heavy units, but once you get into the bigger size battery’s, it seems hard to avoid… atleast they aren’t lead acid anymore😂
@@TheSolarLab yes, I understand there is a correlation to heft & storage however, you need wheels and/or bases for anything getting close to 70lbs. It's not reasonable to expect the average consumer to power lift 86lbs. I'm eliminating this brand just for this variable alone - poor design.
what brand are you considering going with? if you don't mind me asking?
@@TheSolarLab I'm considering the Anker f2000 because it has the wheels & handle and decent size. Do you have other recommendations as well? I'm looking for house backup to primarily power frig and other small appliances in a grid down scenario.
